“Josie did a fine job staying at our home and looking after our 2 Scotty pups for 14 days. They loved her and she performed all our requests as to their feeding, playtime etc. perfectly. She showed herself to be trustworthy and attentive. We would have her back again without question.”
About: I was a volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society (OHS) for six years, caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I now work as an Animal Care Technician at an animal Shelter. My experience goes beyond feeding and walking animals—I’ve been trained in animal wellbeing, calm handling, basic behavioral training, basic grooming, introducing new dogs to other dogs, playgroups, pack walks, and leadership. I can also administer some medications if needed as well. At OHS, I served as a team lead, led tours, ran camps, trained new volunteers, and even taught a few classes. I hold a FearFree Animal Wellbeing Certification, a Breaking Up A Dog Fight Certification, and I have completed numerous training courses, and earned multiple certifications and achievements through OHS. I’m organized, dependable, and experienced, ensuring every pet in my care is safe, happy, and well-loved. Some fun animal facts about me: I’ve ridden a camel, petted a shark, and used to ride horses! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is my passion. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets, and I look forward to giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve! I live and work in Redmond, with a set schedule. I will always have time for animals! I am flexible with when I am available. I have dog sat, cat sat, small animal sat, and house sat in many different homes and environments. I am flexible and easy to work with. However you like things done, I will do my very best to follow and keep it the same. My main concern is your pet's well-being and happiness!
“Dafne was amazing with my 8 year old Great Dane! Mac can be timid and slow to warm up and her calm demeanor and patience had him warmed up in no time. They had a wonderful weekend together and I got so many picture updates. 🥰 I’d love to have Dafne stay with my guy again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Josie was fantastic! She made us feel very at ease with leaving our pup at home for quick overnight trip. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I knew the whole time that Nala was her main focus and that she was very well cared for. I can’t recommend Josie enough and we will be re-booking with her in the near future!”
“Payten was amazing with my five month old kitten! I was nervous about leaving him for 8 days over the holiday but he seemed to do just fine from the messages and photos Payten sent me while she was house sitting. I will defiantly utilize her again if the opportunity comes up!”
About: I’ve raised/trained a couple dogs from puppies to adulthood. I have a senior Yorkie that loves other animals. My Yorkie has some health problems, she goes to the vet often. I used to have a high energy dog, so I can also match their energy!! I’m currently working part time watching kids that have developmental disabilities. I have a lot of free time to do pet sitting since this is only a few hours for a few days a week. I treat your dog like they’re on vacation as well. However you watch them and instruct me to do so, I will do the same. I’ll make sure they get plenty of walks, treats and cuddles🥰
About: Growing up on a farm had taught me to care for any age of dog, cat, chicken, goat, cow, sheep and more. Temperament is no different. Further, from a young age it was not uncommon for my chores to include feeding, bathing, exercising, cleaning up after, or simply taking care of the animals while family was away. Responsible fun, was my favorite of all. The image of a tired, happy farm dog is the experience I look to replicate for your dog. I currently work full time, Monday-Thursday until 4:30 pm. I take no issue and would prefer to spend my evenings with your dog. Friday-Sunday I have completely free. I have been raised to leave a place better than I found it. Anything disturbed by me or an animal will be cleaning up and left how it was before.
“This was Kate's first time watching Bodhi and minding our house and it all went very well. Kate handled all the dog care duties easily and on-time, and left our house cleaner than it started. Our dog, Bodhi, is an anxious guy and Kate seemed to have a calming, reassuring influence on him. Just to be clear: Kate stayed at our house overnight during this visit. Our dog needs an overnight human or he flips out.”
About: Love every kind of animal! You kind of have to when you are a personal CNA, being in people’s homes who require medical care I’ve seen all manners of pets and environments even exotic pets. That being said I love to give attention to animals and learn their personality’s, and am willing to go through the bumps and flats of taking care of animals! Working part time, always looking for more hours, my job is flexible and I can do weekdays and board weekends as needed. If it’s something specific it can always be worked out! I often would like to get to know the owners style of care, how they’d like me to care for there pets and also the environment they’d like me to create. Everyone has a different need than others! And every pet is different.
“Halley was wonderful. She house/dog sit for me and was great with communication -asking needs, preferences, and confirming considerations. I greatly appreciated it. She met Wally, she met me, took a walk through and I appreciated her flexibility and willingness to be prompt and available. I would love to have her care take again and use her services 😊 I recommend for others easily”
“Donna went above and beyond. She stayed at my house for almost 2 weeks to care for my dog and cat. During that time, she sent me daily communication and took wonderful care of my pets and my home. When I arrived home, my house was in better condition than when I left it. I highly recommend Donna!”
“Bee was amazing with my guy! Super quick to respond and I got a bunch of cute photo updates while I was an away. Bee’s demeanor is incredibly warm and Mac warmed right up with her. I would definitely recommend and hope to use Bee again!”
About: Hi there! I grew up with numerous kinds of dogs and cats. Currently, I have a dog named Maggie and she is 5 years old. She is a lab mix and she loves playing with other dogs. I’m a very responsible pet owner, and I love taking care of Maggie. My family and I have always enjoyed being around and owning animals and I am extremely comfortable with dogs, cats, and house-sitting. Over the years I have been a trusted house sitter with various dogs/cats and I will love your dog or cat like my own and take very good care of them. I will be more than happy to text you pictures and updates during their stay! I work full time, 8:00am-5:00pm. I am able to work a hybrid schedule and I can stay home different days throughout the week. I walk Maggie twice a day, so you can expect your dog to be walked as well while I have them! :) Though I live in an apartment, I live right next to Dry Canyon Trail. I take Maggie on a morning and evening walk, so you can expect your dog to get daily exercise. I also own a XL dog crate, so if you would prefer your dog to be crated during the day, I can use that and you won't have to bring one. My dog Maggie loves other dogs so your fur baby will have plenty of company while I take care of them. I am also happy to house sit for you if you are comfortable with me bringing Maggie with me!
About: What sets me apart is the time and attention I can give each pet. I’m dependable, patient and comfortable following each pets individual routine. I can be flexible on schedule so your pet will get plenty of companionship, affection, and attentive care while you’re away. I do currently hold a full-time job and I’m just looking for weekend time that I can devote to giving your pet full attention, I am open to weekdays as well. Our pets are a member of the family and that is how I will treat them. I take this seriously and also take pride in seeing an animal excited to see me!
“Joann did a great job taking care of our pups and house on our recent trip. We received pics or video everyday and came home to a clean house and happy pups. It was so nice to have peace of mind and not have to worry about anything while we were gone.”
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life. I love animals of all kinds and want to make sure they are taken care of. Whether you just need a quick pop in visit to make sure your pet is ok, they need a walk, have their litter box scooped, or you need an overnight sitter while you are away, I’m your gal! Message me to discuss rates and availability. I don’t always keep my calendar up to date on Rover. I have this profile so you know I’ve had a background check run :) I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I take daily walks around the neighborhood and would love to add dog pet care into my routine. I have a fully fenced back yard and a friendly dog at home. I also have a 12 year old who adores all animals. I work from home and have a flexible schedule.
“Madison stayed overnight and watched our dog Panda and cat Comet. She did a fabulous job! Great communicator and sent photos to let us know how things were going. Our pets were clearly well-loved and in good hands. I would definitely hire Madison again to take care of our fur-babies.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Crossing
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 615 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forest Crossing. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Forest Crossing walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Forest Crossing maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Forest Crossing choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
