“Jen is AMAZING! We have a small gang of dogs, each with their own unique quirks and personalities (heavy on the quirks). We left them for almost two weeks and I was so nervous but Jen quickly made me feel at ease. She obviously loves what she does, and she is the best at it. My husband even commented that there are people who dog sit, and then there is Jen who is just another level of caring and awareness. She asked so many great questions., I knew my dog's were in good hands. We received plenty of updates and we could see how happy and well taken care of our pups were. We also have a snail and shrimp aquarium which Jen took care of beautifully. I'm so grateful to have found her. Not only were dogs, snails, and shrimp were so well taken care of, our house was just as we left it and perfect. If you are looking for someone to trust everything you love with, you can't do better than Jen.”

“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: Welcome! If you are looking for a calm, stress-free, 1-on-1 environment for your pet, you have come to the right place. As a veterinarian’s daughter and a full-time professional pet sitter with over 100 5-star reviews, providing attentive, top-tier care tailored to your pet's personality and energy level is my passion. I host only one client family’s pets at a time, ensuring your fur baby receives undivided attention, customized care, and total safety. 🐾Why Choose My Care? 1-on-1 Exclusive Attention: Your pet will never compete with outside animals for love, space, or care. 🐾Veterinary Background: My dad was a veterinarian and I am fully confident administering oral medications, managing special diets, and providing calm care for senior or special-needs pets. 🐾Full-Day Presence: Pet care is my full-time focus. Your pet enjoys constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and structured daily routines. 🐾Tailored Exercise & Backyard Fun: Guests enjoy endless play in my huge, fully fenced backyard. For dogs who love exploring, I am happy to offer trips to nearby parks for leashed walks. (Note: For safety, park walks are reserved for dogs who are fully leash-trained and do not pull heavily. Strong pullers will still get plenty of great exercise in the secure yard!) 🐾Prepared & Accommodating: I provide a clean kennel and dog bed on-site for convenience so you have less to pack, though you are always welcome to bring your own. 🐾Clear Communication: Expect regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and truly spoiled. 🐾Safety & Household Notes Children: Children are listed on my profile because my grandchildren visit occasionally, though they do not live here. If your dog prefers an adult-only environment, I will coordinate schedules so no children are present during their stay. 🐾Meet & Greets: I strongly encourage a quick Meet & Greet prior to booking so everyone feels completely confident and comfortable. ❤️In Hawaiian, a pet caretaker is called a Kahu—a guardian, protector, and steward of something cherished. I take that role to heart and treat every guest like my own. Whether hosting in my home or house-sitting in yours, I look forward to giving your pet a safe, loving home away from home! Full-Time Care & Companionship 🐾 Now that I am retired, pet care is my full-time focus! Your fur baby will enjoy plenty of relaxed companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a consistent daily routine. Your pet will receive endless love, attention, and playtime. They'll have access to a huge, fully fenced backyard, plus trips to nearby parks for walks. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and truly spoiled! Experienced & Trusted!! 🐾 Veterinarian’s Daughter: Expert animal care practices built into my daily routine. 🐾 40+ Years of Experience: Decades of dedicated, hands-on care for pets of all ages and temperaments. 🐾 Fort Worth’s Trusted Nanny: Over 100 5-star reviews and a track record of happy, repeat clients. 🐾 Exclusive Single-Family Stays: I accept only one client family at a time for maximum safety and full attentiveness. 🐾 Senior & Special Needs Care: Highly experienced with aging dogs, complex medical conditions, and mobility needs. 🐾 Medication & Safety: Fully trained in administering oral and injected medications, plus Pet First Aid & CPR certified. A 5-Star VIP Experience!!! 🐾 Tail-Wagging Activities: Daily walks in the park (if requested), active backyard games, basic command reinforcement, and brain-boosting activities like treat puzzles and sniff mats. 🐾 Impromptu Photo Shoots: As a prior professional photographer, I love capturing gorgeous, candid pictures of your fur baby throughout their stay! 🐾 Seamless Communication: Prompt text updates and frame-worthy daily photos so you can enjoy total peace of mind while away. 🐾 Spoiled-Rotten Comfort: Endless belly rubs, soothing ear scratches, couch cuddles, and focused, gentle attention from morning to night. I follow all care instructions, administration of medicine schedules and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while doing my best to stay on their schedule at home that they are used to. My grandchildren sometimes visit to give extra love, but if your dog doesn’t get along with children, they won’t be present. 🐾 Flea & Tick Prevention: For the health, comfort, and safety of all pets staying in my home, I kindly ask that pets be current on flea and tick prevention prior to their stay. I work hard to maintain a clean, flea- and tick-free environment, and this helps protect your pet as well as the other pets in my care. Thank you for helping me keep my home comfortable and safe for everyone! 💕 Certified in CPR & Pet First Aid (08/2025) with verification badges in my photo gallery. I love building long-term relationships so your fur baby looks forward to coming back! For your convenience, I have a kennel available at my home if your pup is crate-trained or enjoys having a cozy space to relax. You’re welcome to use mine, so there’s no need to bring one back and forth unless you prefer to.

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: Experienced dog sitting all size dogs! Pitbulls, waimeraners, labs, wiener dogs etc. I love to go on walks and runs if possible! This past summer I consistently watched 4 dogs (from the same family) and had a great time! I frequently volunteer at the animal shelter but don’t have any pets of my own just yet! New to Fort Worth and looking forward to meeting you and your dog:) As of right now I am helping out at my boyfriends business but working from home- meaning I am available all day to take care of your pet whether at my home or coming to you. I live in a dog friendly apartment building along the trinity trails! These trails are perfect for dog walking and provide ample shade. The dog is welcome in all rooms of our place. At a clients home, I make sure to go over any guidelines with the owner to establish the rules and routines of their space- I only aim to help out never to impose!

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. I have a special place in my heart for older dogs and have experience administering oral medications to dogs. I am flexible to your dog's needs, like special diet foods, time of feeding, medicines, or any other special requests. I have some professional experience walking dogs. I dream of owning a dog-friendly business one day. I have a house with a large fenced yard and extra bedrooms for boarding, though I am happy to have dogs in my bedroom to sleep at night so they are comfy and don't get lonely. My top goal is to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all animals. They are everything! I look forward to meeting you and your pet.

“Taryn was great. She was prompt and communicative. She stayed at our place to take care of my dogs while my roommate and I were out of town. It was my first time leaving my dogs this long or having someone sit with them at our place. Taryn has a calming presence and assured me everything would be okay while I was away. During the trip, she provided updates, pictures, and videos consistently. She also continued with prompt correspondence throughout her stay. When I came home, the house was neat and tidy as though no one had been there while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Taryn’s services for your fur babies and look forward to having her again in the future.”

About: I have been pet sitting for years and I care for animals on the daily so it’s something I am very comfortable and serious about. I work full time but will always make time for a pet that needs some extra attention and loving when their loved ones are away. I am able to care for your pets before and after work everyday of the week. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets even pets with special medical needs. If they need to watched in the backyard or crated when no one is home I am comfortable with that as well.

“Lindsey was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had. Needed to find someone to stay with our pup because she has a lot of anxiety being alone after losing her dog brother and we were very nervous about leaving her! Lindsey was thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, helpful and communicated with us throughout. Our dog felt comfortable with her within 5 minutes and we could tell from the photos that she felt safe with her. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.”

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 of House Sitting in Forest Hill on Rover is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $60 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,240 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hill. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
