About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life of various sizes- from Pomeranians to mastiffs. I also have experience dispensing medications to animals. I am currently looking for a work from home job and am using this for extra income- I’m able to devote my entire time to your pet! I take careful note of instructions for each pet and treat them like my own while also understanding that I am doing a job and treating homes with respect.
“Jenn is amazing. We have a pack of pups, that all have their own special personalities and needs. She took care of them better than we could have ever hoped. This is our 2nd time booking with her, and we plan to book with her again. She is trustworthy, kind, and cares more than anyone I've ever met. Highly recommend.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for dogs and the way they respond to me in return. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, build trust, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m fully available for regular visits and last-minute bookings. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule. At home, my own dog enjoys frequent walks, playtime, and plenty of treats — and I bring that same energy and attention to every pet I look after. Whether I’m providing care in a familiar environment or welcoming a new furry friend into my home, I focus on creating a fun, caring, and reliable experience
“Querhea was great house and dogsitting our 3 furbabies while we were our of town for a few days. She arrived on time, provided photos and regular updates during her stay. Our home was neat and clean when we got home just like we had left it. She made sure to clean up the yard from dogs' as requested and she even took the trash out from her stay. We greatly appreciate her and the great care she provided our furbabies. We will use her again for future dogsitter needs. Thank you Querhea.”
“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”

I will pay attention to their individual needs, follow their normal routines, and treat them like my own.

“Madison was the best! This was our first time using rover / leaving our mini labradoodle with anyone outside of our family. She was so responsive and sent us a bunch of pics! She constantly kept us up to date on the weekend so we didn’t have to stress about Millie while we were gone. Would highly recommend using her!”
“Our dogs can be a little picky about who they like, but they liked Anna right away when they met her. She was pleasant and flexible about stopping by prior to our booking. We will definitely ask her to watch Fred and Simsi again.”
“Shelbi was absolutely amazing while we were away for 10 days. She took incredible care of our dogs and our home, kept us updated, and gave us real peace of mind the entire trip. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Coming home to happy dogs and everything in perfect shape made the end of vacation so much easier. We would 100% book with Shelbi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter.”
About: I have a dog of my own, an Australian shepherd named Lady. I have taken care of a few dogs before and I quite enjoy it. I love and enjoy walking dogs. I also enjoy cats as well. I have had a cat for about 16 years. she was my very first pet ever to have. She has been with me since I was a baby. Sadly she passed in August of 2021. I can do the weekends from anytime. I can stop by after 6 o’clock to check up on your furry friends. But normally the weekends is when I’m free. I make sure that the dog or dogs are fed and taken care of course. I follow the owner's details and rules. I am very patient and outgoing and also a very active person.
About: With over 40 years of hands-on experience living alongside and caring for animals, I treat every pet in my care like a cherished family member. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and completely comfortable in their own home while you are away. Lifetime Experience & Deep Intuition: Having owned and cared for pets my entire life, I naturally read animal body language and adapt quickly to every pet's unique personality and routine. Specialized Senior & Medical Care: I have personal, hands-on experience caring for aging pets and those navigating complex health journeys, including cancer. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications (pills and liquids) with a gentle, patient touch. Puppy Patience & Guidance: While not a commercial trainer, I have successfully raised and trained multiple puppies over the decades using consistent, loving, and positive reinforcement. In-Home Comfort & Security: By focusing exclusively on house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, I keep your pets in their familiar environment—minimizing stress and giving you total peace of mind. My schedule is flexible so I am able to adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight companionship, I have the time and dedication to make sure they get unhurried, attentive care every single day. I try to adjust my daily routine to mirror yours as closely as possible, keeping your pets on their familiar schedule for meals, play, and bedtime. Because I don't host pets in my home, my focus is entirely on keeping yours safe and comfortable in theirs. Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety are my absolute highest priorities. When you trust me with your home and your beloved pets, I take that responsibility seriously, ensuring a secure, stress-free experience from start to finish. Meet & Greets: Before any booking, I always meet with you and your pets in person. This ensures your pet feels comfortable with me, lets us review their unique routines, and allows us to establish your exact communication preferences. Meticulous Home Security: I am thorough when it comes to securing your home. You never have to worry: I double and triple check every door, lock, and gate before leaving your property. Consistent Communication & Photos: You will never be left wondering how your pet is doing. I send updates and photos with every single visit, keeping you fully in the loop so you can relax while you are away. Safety First on Every Walk & Visit: Decades of pet ownership mean I am always alert to surroundings, keeping dogs on a secure leash, monitoring for potential hazards, and giving your pets the calm, vigilant attention they deserve.
“Kayla took amazing care of my two dogs. She was super responsive to messages and any questions I had about how the girls were doing. She also took great care of my house, leaving it in amazing condition. Would definitely rebook in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hill
We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely book again! She took excellent care of our dogs, kept them on their normal feeding schedule, and made sure they were happy and well cared for while we were away. She also went above and beyond by watering all of our plants, changing the dog pads, tidying up the house, and even washing, drying, and putting the sheets back on the bed before we returned. Coming home to happy dogs and a clean house made the end of our trip so much easier. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, reliability, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Forest Hill on Rover is $37.74 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 3,343 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.
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.
