“Kevin came through for Kingston and me, even in the snow and ice. I appreciated his flexibility and early arrival time and from all I could see he took excellent care of Kingston. I would definitely use him again for dog-sitting.”
“Aliyah went above and beyond in taking care of my cats. My youngest fur baby instantly warmed up to her, which is quite rare! Aliyah sent me lots of photos while I was away, easing my separation anxiety. Being away from my cats is never easy, but knowing they were in such great care with Aliyah made it so much better.”
“Our very sensitive Siamese was in great spirits when we arrived home, and that has not always been the case with other sitters. Helene gave him extra love and attention and it definitely showed! We will definitely book with Helene again.”
“Ashley was an awesome pet sitter and our pets loved her. She’s great with dogs and cats and knows how to adapt to different pet personalities very well! I highly recommend her.”
“Monica was absolutely wonderful with Luna! She kept us updated throughout with photos and check-ins, so we never had to worry. We’ll definitely be booking with Monica again.”
“Belinda was an amazing sitter for our Ralphie! I knew from her initial responsiveness and kindness and her superlative reviews on Rover that Ralphie would be in great hands. Belinda really does check all the boxes. She is a wonderful communicator, sharing updates at a perfect frequency. I appreciated all the photos and videos capturing great interactions between her and Ralphie. In addition, Belinda left the house spotless, laundered the towels that she used, and washed Ralph's plates before leaving. It was an easy, pleasant, and stress-free experience that I hope to be able to repeat in the near future. Thank you sincerely, Bel!”
“Gio is absolutely wonderful. She takes Daphne and Samson out every week and also stayed with them this weekend while I was away, and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is incredibly kind, dependable, communicative, and genuinely cares about them. I came home to two very happy, relaxed dogs who had clearly been loved and spoiled all weekend. Daphne and Samson both adore her, and I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in her care. I’m so grateful to have found Gio and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Vitality B. Is fantastic pet sitter. He's responsible, dependable, and our kitties love having him around. He sends us updates and we feel very fortunate to find him through Rover. This is our first time using an app to book a pet sitter. And this is our 3rd time having Vitali here at our home. You will have peace of mind if you hire Vitali. And your pets will love him too!!”
“Highly recommend Minh for house and pet sitting. He took great care of our cat Jasper who ended up being quite shy. Minh helped make sure he had food and water and moved these to where Jasper was hiding out. Minh was extremely responsive, detailed and thoughtful. House was taken care of and left in excellent condition.”
“Maura took care of my dog (Brisket) for 6 days while we were out of the country. It’s my first time leaving my dog for more than a day and I was really unsure and scared but I felt completely at ease because of her. Maura is attentive, reliable, caring, sends pictures and updates, plays with him, takes him to the dog park, and follows all the instructions. Brisket is really happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her! And would definitely trust her to watch Brisket again! Very very grateful for all the love and care she gave to Brisket :)”
“Molly has been walking our dogs for a couple of weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dog, Finn, is pretty nervous and weary of strangers, but Molly has been really patient with him! Would 100% recommend”
“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”

Vitali B is the best Pet & Home Sitter we have ever hired. He's responsible, trustworthy, and our pets love having him around. How do we know this? When we return they are unphased by our presence. I think they actually miss Vitali! We are very lucky to find Vitali. You will be too. Send him an email. He is communicative and reliable. You're pets are in good hands w Vitali. And so is your home.
I hired Walter to stay in my apartment to look after my very social and clingy cat, Rio, for 10 days. He was fantastic with Rio and I returned home to a very happy and well-cared for cat. Most importantly, Rio took to him very quickly! Walter was attentive, communicative, flexible, and left my apartment clean and tidy, even doing laundry before he left. He followed my instructions exactly and put this anxious cat lady’s mind at ease! I loved receiving his daily Rio reports! I highly recommend Walter and will definitely hire him again.
Nina was amazing with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and provided updates. She followed all of our instructions and was very attentive from the moment we met her. She also left our home exactly how we left it after staying over to accommodate our dog. We would recommend Nina to anyone looking for a great sitter!
We had a great experience and would definitely use her again! She took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was very polite, communicative, and thoughtful throughout our trip. She also checked in multiple times to see if there was anything else we needed her to take care of while we were gone. We didn’t end up needing anything additional, but we really appreciated her offering and knowing she was happy to help. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. Highly recommend!
Allison is the perfect dog sitter! She was wonderful and kind with our dog Blaze, taking him for long walks and taking very good care for him, while also being excellent with communication and looking after our house perfectly. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her. Thanks so much!
Rachel housesit and took care of our two young cats for the weekend. It was a short time, but Rachel was terrific. She was great at communication, took lots of cute pictures of the cats, and went the extra mile to do some household chores and clean up. The cats are in great shape. We hope to use her services again!
We were a bit nervous traveling out of the country for 9 days, leaving behind our rather anxious (and less-than-trusting) Xavier, along with our overly-zealous (and a bit needy) Barnaby, with a sitter they didnt really know, for the first time. Well...there was NO reason to be nervous. Betty was superb! She connected with the doggos right away, and they enjoyed all of her attention throughout the week. When we came home, the boys were happy & healthy & content. The house was in great shape. Betty went above-and-beyond, taking care of the home-front with professionalism and maturity, sharing regular communications & photos. Thank you Betty. We hope to see you again soon!
Alexandra was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating on short notice, and we really appreciated how attentive she was to our pets. She sent us lots of pictures and updates to reassure us that everyone was doing well. We especially loved that she even played music for them when she wasn’t there.

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Glen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Forest Glen on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,875 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forest Glen. 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 Glen 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 Glen 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 Glen 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
