“We were away for a week and Karla took great care of our 2 cats! She was a great communicator which gave us peace of mind. She followed our instructions well and even helped bringing in our mail and packages. Our cats were shy and nervous around her at first but after a few days they’d totally warmed up to her and sent us the cutest pics of them. We’d absolutely book her again!”
“Rucha was great with my cat who is very shy. My cat actually came out of hiding and went over to Rucha which is very unusual. Everything looked great when I got home. Will definitely ask her again!”
“Riss was absolutely wonderful with our two Havanese, Bastien and Tally! She was timely, attentive, responsible, and immediately put me at ease, plus the pups took to her immediately as well :) Tally is still a puppy and actively learning his house manners, and I was especially impressed that Riss took the initiative to work on some training exercises with him while she was here. It was clear that she was genuinely engaged with both dogs rather than simply keeping an eye on them. Riss is also warm, sociable, and incredibly easy to talk to. I felt completely comfortable leaving the boys in her care, and I would not hesitate to have her watch them again. We’re so glad we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and caring sitter!”
“Very satisfied with Sarah’s care. She is very responsive, followed instructions for my dogs well, and my dogs looked happy and well taken care of in the photos she sent. Thanks so much, Sarah!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid and have always enjoyed looking after and caring for animals. My girlfriend and I don't have any pets at the moment and have been housing our friends pets when they are traveling. Hoping to offer our comfortable house to other pets while their people are traveling! I currently work from 9-5 a short bus ride from my house. I have a lot of flexibility to go home for lunch during the day and check on our house guests. On the weekends we are usually around the house and enjoy going for walks along the gorge trails. We have a three-quarters fenced in backyard for quality fetch time and a large house for the pets to roam in. We have a very open living and dining room for running around and chasing toys! When I visit houses to check on pets I like to stay and play with them for a bit. Make sure they are comfortable and getting some fun in during the day!
“Graeme was awesome! He followed directions, asked questions if he needed any help, sent pictures of my dogs, which was nice since I missed him. Bear loves when he comes to visit!”
About: Hi there! I’m Charlotte, and I have experience compassionately caring for animals for 14 years. I discovered my love for animals when I was a little kid when I walked my neighborhood dogs on a regular basis. Since then, I’ve walked & pet- sat many dogs, fostered animals, and grown up with my own cats and dogs. I’m certified in dog CPR and take your pet’s safety and well-being seriously. I am patient with pups who may find meeting other dogs/ adults/ children, etc., in unfamiliar territory anxiety-provoking. I will watch out for any anxious body language during our walk so that I can offer your dog calm and reassuring support to ensure they are safe and confident in our time spent together. I value clear, open communication and make it a point to always stay responsive to pet parents—I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your dog. I love to hike and be outdoors and am always looking for a fur-companion to join me. I look forward to giving your dog lots of well-deserved love and exercise! I am currently an online college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play outside with your pup and get some fresh air! I have two cats, so I can only come to your home to care for your animals. I am currently unable to care for pets in my home. I am only providing dog walking services.
“Wonderful service. Our cats are so relaxed when we get back home; it sure beats boarding them. Getting photo updates is great and it also shows us that our cats are doing well. Thanks for taking good care of our boys!”
About: I’ve been taking care of a family member's two goldendoodles for about four years, including the younger one when she was a puppy. The older one had a major leg surgery and couldn’t walk or jump for a couple of months, so I helped her get around and gave her meds. She’s also a super picky eater, so I’d grill chicken and steam veggies for her and spoon-feed her until she started eating on her own again. I’ve definitely dealt with the messy stuff too (dried poop on a fluffy butt is no joke). I’ve also watched an older cockapoo and my old boss’s energetic pit mix. I grew up with a cat, so I know my way around a litter box. I’m patient, I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, and I genuinely love spending time with animals!! My schedule is wide open right now, so I’m available most days and times, including most weekends and last-minute requests. I can fit around your pet’s routine, whether that’s early morning walks, midday potty breaks, specific feeding times, or meds. I prefer to care for your pets in your home, so they get to stay comfy in their own space. I’ll stick to your routine for food, meds, and walks, and I’m careful about keeping doors closed and dogs on a leash. I’ll send you pictures and updates while you’re away, and if anything seems off with your pet, I’ll be very communicative and proactive.
“Rossy was a super great pet sitter! Patient with my dog, flexible, and attentive. She wrote extremely detailed notes and took lots of pictures that put my mind at ease about my dog's care. I especially loved that she was willing to meet my dog beforehand who is pretty skittish. With her patience my dog who is usually terrified of strangers went a long way toward building trust with her. She also was very flexible with a few times adjustments I had to make to my dog's schedule. I will definitely be reusing Rossy.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, with different energy levels and needs for decades. I’ve volunteered for rescues and fostered puppies and seniors. I am comfortable administering meds, giving baths, working on manners, caring for reactive pups, and will go out of my way to meet your dog’s needs. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time for long walks and playing with pups on both weekdays and weekends (yes, I am very lucky). I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure that your pet is happy and safe. A pet’s safety is always my number one priority.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life but only sitting for 4 years! I love animals and am always looking forward to learning more. I’m a Cornell student and only have classes for 4 hours M-Th. With this schedule it is easy to take pets on walks, drop by and check on them, and make sure they get all the care and attention they deserve! I always leave things the way I found them if not better! Including living spaces and animals. I always want to make sure I keep someone’s area clean and make sure I keep someone’s animal safe and happy while with me!
About: I have helped care for cats and dogs since I was a child and am comfortable catering to their unique needs. I am a former owner of a highly anxious, reactive dog and would like to use my skills ensuring that your pet is comfortable while you are away. I understand that some pets have challenging personality quirks that require patience, diligence, and care. I specialize in caring for dogs with anxiety, fear of strangers, aggression, and reactivity. I have a job that keeps me busy Wed-Fri 9-5, but am pretty flexible outside of those times to care for your pets. Note: I have scent sensitivities to some artificial fragrances, smoke, and other household products so may decline housesitting stays if those are prominent. I understand that each animal has their own unique needs and personalities. I stay very attentive to the needs of animals and can commit my full attention to making your pup as comfortable as possible. I am very tidy and pride myself in leaving your home as clean as you left it. I appreciate clear instructions about staying in and caring for your home while I'm housesitting.
About: I am starting my Rover journey and have experience raising my 5-year-old dog since he was a puppy. I am also comfortable handling other cats and dogs as I work with them frequently as a vet assistant. I am mainly open to drop-in visits and dog walking. I am free to do drop-ins and walk your pets generally on weekends. I can also do the same services from Monday to Friday, but only after 5pm. I love all pets so you can trust me to be patient and caring of your furry babies! I will play with your pets and give them all the love and praise that they deserve.
“Rose was super! Very communicative both before and during care, very organized, friendly, responsible and reassuring. I have a range of pets with various needs, and she cared for both the dog and cat so wonderfully. I felt very secure knowing Roae was taking care of my fur babies. I also appreciated all the updates and photos. Highly recommend Rose!”
About: Ive walked dogs for many years from my own dog to friends or families! I have a love for dogs and enjoy spending time with your furry friends! I am available all day on Tuesday and Wednesdays as well as Thursday to Monday before 4pm. I can walk in the mornings and afternoons. I am also able to do overnights if needed. I lost my cat two years ago to old age and cancer. Although I haven't welcomes a new pet of my own into the home I gave birth to Twin girls! They are now 16 months and LOVE visiting with your animals. Sometimes they come with me for walks or drop ins as long as a meet and greet happens where I see a positive interaction between your animal and my babies. If it's not a good match then I either don't have the girls with me or for wont take the boarding request as they live with me full time.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. My family got a dog in 2020, a yorkiepoo, and he has been my best friend ever since. I take him on walks, play tug a war with his toys, as well as teaching him new tricks in a matter of a few days. I make sure that my dog is taken care of at home when my parents are at work and I will do the same for you and your pets! Pet care can easily fit into my schedule now that it is summer. I am usually pretty available during the summer as I do have a lot of free time! As safety is concerned, your dog(s) will always have the most attention when in my hands. They will be watched at all times no matter where they are. I will only go in places that the dogs are when I take the dog out and bring them back inside, as well as possibly using the bathroom if needed. I will be in someone else’s space so I will respect the family’s space and privacy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Home
John was super responsive and efficient, and he kept us up to date throughout the stay so we never had to wonder how things were going. His notes after each visit were detailed and thoughtful, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily book him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative sitter.
I'm so glad to have found Victoria. She knew how to connect with my shy cat during our meet and greet and made fast friends with her while I was away. I'm impressed with her knowledge about cat behavior. Victoria was very friendly, communicative, and professional, and she sent great detailed reports and photos after each visit. I've already booked her for my next trip!
Rachel was phenomenal. She cared for our dog and two cats for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone more personable, reliable, or genuinely kind. All three pets absolutely loved her. She didn’t just stop in — she engaged with them, played with them, and made sure each one felt comfortable and cared for. One of our cats needed daily medication, and Rachel worked closely with us to find the best delivery method. She even picked up the medication from our vet when it ran out. Beyond pet care, she fed our outdoor birds and watered our plants without us asking — such a thoughtful touch. Her schedule was perfect: a full hour (or more) every morning, another hour (or more) in the evening, plus an extra midday stop for a quick dog potty break. We felt completely at ease the entire week. We truly loved having Rachel care for our pets, and we recommend her without hesitation. John & Pamela

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest Home is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $42 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 356 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest Home. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Home. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
