“Laurie is the best! Ralphie remembered her right away. She always sends pics and updates which I truly appreciate. I’m never worried and know Ralphie is safe when Laurie is here. We look forward to seeing her again next week!”
“Haven went above and beyond to make sure Ava got all the love and attention while we were away on a long trip. From taking her on long walks to keeping me in the loop on her schedule, I had full confidence that Ava was well taken care of.”
“Jen was absolutely amazing with my little princess Chacha. She went way above and beyond my expectations. I’m not sure Chacha missed me very much because of the great care from Jen. Jen followed my care instructions to a T, and even woke at 430am to keep Chacha on her normal feeding schedule. I wouldn’t hesitate to re-book or recommend Jen. She is amazing!”
“Casey is a 10 Plus. You can’t go wrong here. He goes above and beyond. Walked my dogs even my older dog and I am sure she loved it. He would keep in touch with me send pictures and updates ❤️. My house was spotless when I arrived which was soooooo nice . I am so HAPPY I found him. You can’t go wrong using Casey HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM”
“Avery is stellar as usual with Mr.Percy. He is a very active cat and she knows how to make him happy and have a good play time. Thank you so much for taking care of our playful boy”
“Maya was the best - kept us up to date through the weekend and our dog just loved her (this dog is hard to please). Definitely will be utilizing her again soon!”
“Paula was great! She took wonderful care of our spoiled 8 year old GSD Harley for 5 days!!! He’s a 95 lb. German Shepherd who thinks he’s a lap dog and I’ve never left him with anyone other than family or close friends so I had a bit of anxiety, but he loved her right from the start!. Paula was very prompt, asked questions, took notes, and followed directions to a T. She spent A LOT of time at the house as promised (verified by neighbors who don’t miss much) and she sent me updates with pics daily. She responded immediately to my messages and when I got home, my pooch was a happy camper!!! I’m so happy to have found Rover and Paula and will definitely be using Paula again soon if she’s available!”
“Donna took care of our dog while we were out of the country for two weeks, and she's been absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond, and truly loved our puppy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and caring sitter.”
“Querhea is an absolute delight and pleasure to work with. She took care of my babies while I was in surgery and they love her. She even stayed past her scheduled time until we got home from surgery the next day. I will be booking her for all our family needs”
“Madison took excellent care of Olive! She is trusting, responsive and sent pictures of my pup as requested! I would highly recommend Madison and will be using her again!”
“Elizabeth was fabulous with our 11 pound finicky senior Shih Tzu and our full of energy, but lovable 70lb labradoodle. She asked great questions when she came to our house for meet and greet. She sent pictures and left notes with eating and potty times. Our first experience with Rover was great thanks to Elizabeth!!!”
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a veterinary technician with a lifelong love for animals — dogs, cats, and everything in between. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic Monday through Friday, but in my free time I love helping pet parents feel confident their furry family members are cared for while they’re away. 🏡 Services I Offer I provide overnight pet sitting in your home, keeping your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I can also stop by for midday check-ins on my lunch break for walks, potty breaks, feedings, or just some snuggle time! In the weekends I’m available all day and night. 🐶 Why Pet Parents Love Working With Me Veterinary background — I’m trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health Comfortable giving medications and following special care instructions Calm, gentle, and patient with pets of all personalities Reliable and respectful of your home
“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.”
“Jessica helped us by watching our dog and taking him on walks while we were out of town for the whole day. Our dog and cat love her and she is perceptive to our dog and great with communication! We have worked with her a couple of times and she is our go to pet person!”
About: While most of my personal pet-care experience is with cats, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other needs. I’ll also provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your dog is safe and cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate visits around your animal’s usual feeding schedule and routine whenever possible. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability before confirming a booking. I care for pets in their own home, where they can feel most comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter-box, and household instructions while respecting each animal’s boundaries and personality. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or appetite, cautious with doors and windows, and will provide dependable updates and photos after every visit.

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 $36.63 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 3,378 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hill. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
