“Crystal took amazing care of my newly adopted dog, Ziggy, and my two cats while I was away. She did such a great job with them, and it was obvious they all loved her. I also really appreciated that when I got delayed getting back into town because of traffic, she came back out again to make sure Ziggy got dinner and could get out since I was going to be home pretty late. That meant a lot and was truly above and beyond. She’s awesome, super dependable, and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: The holidays are coming up which means family reunions and events. What is better than giving your cats the care they deserve without having them leave the comfort of home? You won’t have to worry with me there to take care of them! I have grown up around cats and started to learn to care for them at a young age. I have 17 years of experience caring for my family’s 3 cats and about 5 of those years made me a pro at administering medicines. I have experience with severely sick cats, including using a feeding tube to administer food, water, and medicines on a strict schedule. I also have experience with administering intravenous fluids and injecting insulin. I am currently working a full time remote job. I will be available throughout the week for house sitting. For drop ins, I’m available on weekdays during morning and evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday. I will make sure that I enter and leave your house securely. I will double check all doors are locked and alarms are on before I leave! I will leave your house with no pet mess or accidents. I will make sure everything is taken care of for you so you don't have to worry about your home! I will make sure that all litter bags and garbage will be taken out before I leave. I will also make sure to wash pet food and water bowls before leaving.
“As always, Kristina was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable knowing our babies were being so well looked after. She was communicative, always thoughtful and friendly, and even sent us photos so we could see what a good time our doggies were having with her. We would recommend her to anyone who asks!”
About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
“Emma was very friendly and took great care with our 3 pups. She had them outside each day to play and let them sleep with her at night. We came home to some very happy dogs. I would definitely ask Emma to sit for our dogs again. She is very sweet.”
“Alison B was absolutely awesome. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and house and plants! We were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. We had family visiting and left in a bit of a rush for our trip. We came home to a house cleaner than how we left it! Our dogs were greatly loved and she sent many updates and pictures. We highly recommend Alison B for house and dog sitting, you will be very pleased!”
“Once again, Brian was amazing. He was very loving towards our dog, took her on hour long walks even though she can be very difficult, and left our house clean and tidy.”
“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.”

About: I tailor every routine to each dog’s unique needs:) I listed eight years of dog experience because that’s how old my black Lab is! I grew up in a dog loving home and wouldn’t want it any other way. I love all types of dogs and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I have plenty of love, patience, and positive reinforcement to share 🥰 big on communication and sending millions of photos of your dog Pet care fits into my schedule on Saturday and Sunday. Any hour on the weekends is perfect. I am busy during the weekdays. Thank you :) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding instructions carefully, providing the right food and fresh water at the right times. I keep their living spaces clean, including changing bedding and cleaning litter boxes or waste areas. I give pets plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy, while also watching closely for any signs of illness or unusual behavior. Safety is a priority, so I make sure the environment is free from hazards and escape routes. I spend quality time giving pets attention and comfort to reduce stress, and I always follow the specific care instructions given by the owner to ensure the pet’s well-being.
“Cynthia is the dog whisperer. She took care of our three large dogs. A very shy 90lb rescue, talkative doodle and extremely active Belgian Shepherd. She’s now our go to person. Thank you Cynthia.”
About: Message me and we can work something out cuz putting pricing on here can be confusing. Hello I'm stephanie I've had many types of pets of all different kinds, my whole life; from taking care of my cats with their litters, as well as "extra-curricular" animals I won't go into, unless you have an exotic pet lol, then definitely write me. I've also done in-home house sitting for cats, dogs, and various others. If you would like to talk to any of my past references, let me know if that would help you feel more comfortable. I've taken care of pregnant cats and dogs, I've also helped them birth there babies. I'm very patient and kind hearted, and I just love animals. I've also volunteered at pet rescues and have hands on training with taking care of sick, elderly, baby, wild cats and kittens. I also offer grooming such as baths and clippings for cats and small dogs. If given a list of things to do and how you want them done, I will be more than happy to fulfill those duties. Message me if you need someone to watch your "little family member" :) I have an open schedule right now and am available. For House sitting I operate from 11am till 930pm. If you just want me to check on them real quick or take them out to potty then drop ins are what you need to select. Message me and we can work out all the details. Also doggy day care I operate 10am to 11pm within that time frame only but as of right now I can only care for them 3 to 4 hours at a time just message me to work it all out I also have had dogs and cats inside when situations, or customers, require it. I can also set up multiple crates if needed or if they are trained for it.
About: Animals have been a part of my life as long as I remember. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses. I believe that leaving your pet with a sitter should never be a stressful time and will always care for them like they’re my own. I work full time but my hours vary, and I will always make time to care for your furry loved ones! I’m completely off on Mondays and work shorter days on Tues and Thurs, with flexibility to check in on those I’m caring for. While I am not able to have pets in my current apartment, I am always very attentive to the pets/homes in my care. I will always take their needs into account and never overstep. I keep a clean space and will always make sure you return to your home just as you left it- no stress!
“Yolimar did an excellent job of taking care of my Hank. She went beyond my expectations and I won't hesitate to call her when I need her. Thank you Yolimar and thank you Rover!”
“Baylee was fantastic and highly communicative during her time taking care of our pets! She was very delicate with one of our dogs who was dismayed with the family missing and we couldn't be happier how she handled everything! We will definitely be looking at using her services again in the future!”
About: I am a lifelong cat and dog lover, currently the much fur-covered owner of two black cats who were trained to high five for their daily treats. I have volunteered at our local shelter in the past, work well with both large and small dogs. I believe in positive reinforcement methods and a calm, patient presence, allowing animals to approach me at their own pace. I raised my current set of cats from about 6-weeks old, and have some experience with injections and administering oral meds. If your pet will need medication, I'll ask you to demonstrate your method and leave written instructions. I am a graphic design contractor working remotely, which allows a great deal of flexibility when it comes to locations, scheduling, and the needs of your pets. I try to keep a general 7am-3pm schedule for work, but my tasks are usually flexible, which allows me to adjust free time to allow for walks, exercise, or feeding schedules. If you entrust me with the care of your pets and residence, I will request written pet care guides for your animals so I can maintain their routines and keep them as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I willl have my phone handy at all times for communication, and will happily snap photos of your pets every day, especially if they are doing something silly.
“Giannara was amazing. She is great with responsive communication. My basset hound is normally very shy and takes days to warm up to people. Not with Giannara. He was on her lap in a few short hours. There is something special about her. We will be booking her again soon!”
“Sarah was a perfect fit for our family as a house sitter and cat sitter. She took great pictures and went out of her way to keep our home fresh and clean for us when we got back. She’s fun and personable and was quick to bond with Professor and accommodate his many quirks. I would hire her again in an instant.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Forest Glade is $65
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 October 2026, there are 5,205 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
