About: Myself and my family have had dogs and cats for decades, I come from a line of dog breeders and have lost track the number of dogs I have trained and taken care of. I cannot board for longer than 12 days at a time. I work IT and can WFH when required. My cats go between my X and I so when they’re not around I can give them plenty of attention. I can’t board for longer than 12 days I’m very loving and active. I will spoil them rotten and give them plenty of attention should they need it. My cats get along great with other cats and dogs if you’d like them to have some company.
“Jennifer took excellent care of my two special needs senior dogs while we were out of town. I have two anxious pups who take several medications at odd times of the day and I’m personally very anxious to leave my dogs in anyone’s care. As soon as I met Jennifer I noticed she had a very calming presence and asked several questions that immediately made me feel at ease. She was very familiar with anxious dogs and gave my dogs the space they needed to get comfortable. While we were away, Jennifer was able to keep my pups calm and taken care of and provided several pictures and updates. I am very grateful for the time and care she provided and will definitely be reaching out to have her help with my girls the next time we are away.”
“Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.”
“Kerry was amazing. She was quick to respond. We set up a meet and greet. She has lots of experience with dogs and stayed in communication with us including pictures. This was our first time using Rover and once we found the right person, we felt at ease leaving our dog in her very capable hands. We would definitely recommend her and hope to get to use her again.”

It’s always my top priority to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s dog sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, walks, or playtime, I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’m excited to provide dependable and loving care for your furry family members! I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. Always reliable and available on short notice! i am free anytime of the week, and weekends, i have a lot of time for your fur babies and i can guarantee their safety, im very alert and conscientious of my surroundings. i have a fenced yard and a pool and lounging area out back of my yard, but i’d rather watch your fur babies at your home.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in home settings. I’ve watched dogs for multiple days, including both weekdays and weekends, handling feeding, walks, and maintaining their normal routine. Occasionally watched over more than one dog at a time. I also have experience with watching cats and ensuring they are taken care of multiple days at a time. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. Since I work full-time during the day, I’m best suited for pets that are comfortable being alone during work hours and thrive with consistent morning, evening, and overnight care. My goal is to keep your pets safe, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, so I focus on providing reliable morning, evening, and overnight care. My mornings and evenings are structured and consistent, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and attention. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can spend additional time with your pets while maintaining their schedule. I keep my calendar organized and only take on a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives dependable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and care instructions carefully to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide morning and evening care, along with overnight presence when booked for house sitting. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Laura did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat! She stayed at our house with them and even let our dog sleep with her!! She sent us many updates and pictures and took care of our plants too! Would recommend her highly!!!”
“Wendy was absolutely fantastic! She was very accommodating, attentive and willing to go above and beyond while house/dog sitting! I would not think twice about using Wendy again to watch the pup!”
“Katie is great! We used her to stay in our home after Christmas with our 4 year old boxer dog Maggie while we were traveling to see family. We definitely felt comfortable having her in our home. She followed all instructions that we left, and her communication was great. She sent us updates and pictures often, and was very attentive to Maggie, making sure to keep her schedule consistent, playing with her, and walking her each day! We also received some unexpected news while we were away which resulted in us having to come home early after only a few nights away. Katie was extremely flexible and accommodating, and even left a note for us when we got home with a few updates. She also cleaned and wiped down the areas of the house that she used, which is so appreciated in the current covid climate. You can definitely feel good about trusting her in your home with your pets!”
About: I grew up helping take care my two wonderful family dogs as well as occasionally dog-sat for friends and family. Throughout college I had multiple jobs dog-sitting ranging from checking in occasionally and providing meals to full house sitting. I work full time but am typically available outside of standard working hours. I am available to stay with your pup during the week and if local can give potty breaks every ~4 hrs. I am very familiar with caring for other’s pets and work well with instruction to take care of your family exactly how you would normally. I’m happy to provide updates while you’re away on all the fun your furry friend is having.
“Corinne was great. She was punctual and very attentive to Quigley, our dog. She kept us informed during her stay. Corinne sent lots of pictures and updates. We will most definitely be using her again. Thank you Corinne for taking excellent care of our baby.”
“Reagan took care of our two high-energy cattle dog rescues and everyone had a great time. You could tell the dogs were comfortable with her and she kept us updated on our trip. We look forward to booking her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hill
Austin- we appreciate all of the care you took with Sabine and our home. You built a strong relationship with Sabine and one of her people now. Austin excelled in promptness, communication, care, keeping our home clean and helping with mail, and walking Sabine regularly. This has been our second booking with Austin this summer. He’s a lifesaver!
Autumn took wonderful care of our two pups while we were gone for the weekend. She stayed in communication and provided updates through messages, and pictures. The best part is we were able to fully trust our dogs were taken care of which allowed us to relax on vacation. She left the apartment exactly how we left it. Will definitely be booking again!
Lindsay was amazing! She not only took care of our dogs and cat but we came home to a clean house and well-behaved dogs. She left us with written out tips and tricks to help with training the dogs. We will definitely use her again and are so grateful that the pets were in such great hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Forest Hill on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forest Hill. 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill 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.
