“Courtney was absolutely amazing with my two dogs, Echo and Rocky. Both of my dogs are deaf, and that did not phase her at all. She was incredibly patient, attentive, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. As someone who is very protective over my dogs and cautious about who I trust with them, she gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two very happy, comfortable pups, and I truly could not recommend her enough. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Laura was wonderful with my babies. She sent photos of the dogs outside. She followed directions on their food/water feeding. She is very trustworthy, pays attention to detail. Laura was within the timeframe we discussed, she text me when she saw it appeared someone else had been in my home. (I failed to inform her a domestic keeper would also be there at times) I will definitely be using her again.”
“Callie is wonderful at looking after my cat while I’m out on vacation. Great communications with her, and I really appreciate her daily photos and updates! Knowing that my cat is taken care of by someone trustworthy. Recommend!”
“Hannah was so great! This was our first time working with her since both our last rover sitter and we moved and we had no worries at all going out of town and leaving our kitties in her care. She really put our minds at ease with her checkin notes and pictures and with a FaceTime call before we left to go over everything they needed while we were gone. Will absolutely call on Hannah again for help next time we’re out of town!”
“Thank you for a wonderful and at ease experience. Emily dropped in to check on my cats for a couple of days and she was kind, respectful and provided updates. Thank you again for your help!”
About: Hi my name is Abi. I’ve spent the last year caring for dogs of all kinds, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than making sure a pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. One thing that genuinely sets me apart: I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once. Whether you have a duo that plays off each other’s energy or a household with very different personalities, I know how to keep the dynamic balanced and every dog feeling attended to. I am a college student currently home trying to make extra money! my time is genuinely flexible. I’m available every morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays, and largely wide open on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into that rhythm, I can stop by for midday check ins on days I have lighter schedules, and commit to longer visits or overnight stays when needed. Dogs thrive on consistency, and I build my availability around making sure they get that When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines as closely as possible. feeding schedules, walk routes, commands your dog responds to, because familiarity keeps pets calm and settled. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before any outdoor time, and I keep a close eye on interactions when multiple dogs are involved to make sure everyone stays comfortable. You’ll get updates and photos so you’re never left wondering.
“Carol met Honey and I before her scheduled drop in visits. She followed the instructions. Carol was very good to my puppy, shared photos and you can feel she took care of my Honey in the hours time. I would highly recommend Carol!”
“Brandon and Melissa did an outstanding job caring for our cat over the Labor day weekend! We had never left him before and I was nervous he would not handle being alone. They updated us with pictures daily and Trooper was perfectly happy when we got home! I will definitely contact them again if we leave him at home again. They were delightful and gave me a sense of peace knowing my cat was being cared for by such caring people!!”
“Ava was perfect for my 11 year old lab while I was gone for a week. She was super communicative and flexible giving consistent updates and paying attention to how my dog was acting so I didn’t have to stress or wonder.”
“Thanks Jennifer for doing a great job watching the kitties! We really appreciate you making sure everyone gets pets and attention when we are gone. Thank you for taking time to take out the smelly garbage too!”
“Andrea has been so great! Our Phoebe has been so happy having a new friend to hang out with her for a little bit during the week. Super sweet dog sitter and we can’t thank her enough!”
“Gary is awesome! Even during the meet and greet I felt safe with him dropping in my home to check on Bella. He kept me up to date on how things were going with plenty of pictures and a video and ensured that other directions were followed such as closing the blinds and leaving a certain light on. I will definitely be using Gary again!”
About: I have grown up in a house that always had animals in it, especially dogs and cats. I have a few clients that I have been watching houses for— for years, I believe in making connections with your clients pets so there is no worry or stress between the pet parent and pet! I have lots of open free time as I am a freelance artist that works from home! So, in other words, I have my availability mostly open just need to have time to schedule I would be more comfortable in house sitting than boarding animals but for my own pets they are always inside, free roaming, only going outside when the dogs need to go potty!
“Gigi (Aracely) dropped in on my two younger cats everyday for almost two weeks and did an incredible job! My babies are happier than ever, she was communicative with updates and photos/videos, kept my home nice and tidy, and basically just exceeded expectations in all aspects. I’ll definitely be asking her back and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy pet sitter.”

Any needs for your pets I will make sure they are met and your pet is well taken care of. I know our pets are our babies I have 3 dogs of my own and 4 cats of my own. I’m currently on summer break, so I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with all the love, attention, belly rubs, playtime, walks, and cuddles they deserve! I’d absolutely love the chance to care for them and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and treated like family while you’re away. 🐾💕 Your pets will be loved like they’re my own! 💕 I’ll treat your home with care and make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and spoiled with cuddles, playtime, walks, and lots of love while you’re away.

Rachel has been amazing! We are so lucky to have found her!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Forest Hill stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
