“Crystal was fantastic with our Tuco and he was so happy in his update pictures. This was our first time leaving him in the care of someone else and Crystal was perfect. We can tell Tuco already misses his friends and we will absolutely book Crystal again!”
“Lexi is wonderful with my pups! I’ve used her before and have been consistently pleased. My dogs love her, even my shy, avoidant little girl pup. Lexi is friendly, thoughtful, considerate, and very easy to work with. She is thorough and asks questions/makes suggestions about things I wish I had thought of!”
“Jann took great care of my 4 kitties and my house while I was away. She has a friendly and calm manner that attracted one of my shy cats out of hiding. I highly recommend her!”
“Alison and her little one Cassidy were perfect caregivers for my Lily. They stayed at my home and made sure she went on plenty of walks, and kept up with her relentless energy playing with toys. I was provided with plenty of photos and updates while I was away. Couldn’t be more thankful for the help over the holiday while I was gone.”
“Nicole was amazing, our dogs loved her. We will definitely be using her again when she is in town! We came home to happy puppies and a clean house, she even put the bedding she used in the washing machine! Definitely would recommend!!!”
“My dog loved Anna! Anna took my dog on walks. She sent me photos showing their activities. She was even willing to sleep with my pup to calm her at night. I would definitely have her babysit my pooch again.”
“Tonya took excellent care of our two elderly dogs. I think they barely missed us when we were gone because they got all of the pets and cuddles they could ask for. She took excellent care of the house and handled our excessive amount of deliveries with care. She kept us regularly updated with status updates and photos. Highly recommend.”
“Emma did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of all our animals. She is kind, caring and a professional. It was our first time using rover and she made it so easy and sent us pictures of our pets who always looked happy!”
“Jennifer took excellent care of our dog, cats, and home while we were gone. She kept us updated with messages and pictures the whole time. We felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care.”
“Gypsie and Robby are the best! They love on my pets as if they were their own and the house always looks even better than I left it when I come home. Highly recommend!”
“Miss Holly was amazing with our animals, they were very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as we left it upon our return. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”
“Serenity is a wonderful communicator who made us feel at ease, house sitting and taking care of our furry ones! She was very kind and even took time and energy to leave the house better than she found it! I hope to have many more bookings with Serenity in the future!”
“Nellie is amazing! She kept us updated and sent us photos so we knew our corgi, Mango, was being well cared for. Mango was so comfortable with Nellie from the start and was so excited to see her. We will definitely be using Nellie again!”
“Kristi just did an excellent job caring for our senior Chihuahua. She kept us up to date with photos and texts, and we came home to a clean house and happy dog! It was so nice being able to travel worry free.”
“Zachariah goes above and beyond for our puppies! He asks all the right questions and sent us prompt updates and photos of puppies so we ALWAYS had assurance that our puppies were doing well! He is so kind and courteous, thoughtful and respectful to our furry family and his love of animals is VERY clear! We’ll be depending on Zach for our puppy’s care in the future!!!!”
“Kayln watched our cat, Loaf, for a week with just short notice. She came by prior to us leaving town for a meet and greet, and we got great pictures everyday and came home to a happy cat and a clean house, maybe even cleaner than we left it! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting.”
“Jalen was wonderful, she spent some time with us prior to leaving. Paid great attention to our dog and sent pictures. The house was spotless, she was great. I look forward to using her again.”
“Brandy was amazing!! She was able to help us in a pinch, and was so easy to work with and very communicative. Nala is a nervous gal, but Brandy was so quick to make her feel at ease. We will definitely be booking Brandy again! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Glade
Deana gave my reactive dog a chance back when I told her his challenging history. She started walking him with no issues. He loved her! At some point, she couldn’t walk him anymore, but I’ve called upon her several times for dog sits. The more recent one went longer than anticipated due to some travel delays and she was able to move things around to accommodate. I feel very fortunate that she was able to be flexible with that, because I know she’s usually pretty booked up. She went above and beyond and I’m very grateful for her professionalism and willingness to look after our complicated dog. Definitely would recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Glade
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 5,285 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forest Glade. 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 Glade 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 Glade 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 Glade 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
