“Jacqueline was a wonderful sitter! She was responsive, understanding, and communicative. She listened to our care instructions and left our house very neat and tidy. We will definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Jean took wonderful care of my dog and cat while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond the typical call of duty, to make sure my pets and home were well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to care for our animals again. Thanks Jean!”
“Ava and our pup have formed a great bond and we appreciate that we have someone we can rely on to watch him when we go out of town. Ava always sends updates and photos and we know our pup has a great time!”
“Margriet was a wonderful dog sitter. Rory took to her immediately (and she to him). We were able to go on vacation knowing that he would be fed, walked, cuddled, and let outside to run around in the backyard. Rory was not completely house trained when we left, but Margriet finished the job for us. Margriet also brought in packages from Amazon, and left the house clean and sheets laundered. We highly recommend Margriet for all dog sitting needs.”
About: Hi! I’m Liz — an animal lover with a flexible remote work schedule and years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve also fostered before, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can count on. I take that trust seriously and always aim to make things stress-free while you’re away — with regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I work in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I’m home the rest of the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I stick to your pet’s normal routine — walks, meals, and downtime — to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all instructions closely, and leave your home just as I found it. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet’s doing while you’re away.
“Patrick was great at taking care of our dogs and home. Our dogs were clearly well taken care of, and a great bonus that he takes better photos than we ever have of our dogs. Our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left it. Very grateful for him.”
“Lindsay was a lifesaver. We had some issues while we were on our trip with a different sitter and Lindsay stepped in and looked after our two dogs. She immediately connected with our pups and they absolutely loved her. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Oh, I’m not quite sure where to begin. Owen is such an incredibly sweet, caring and kind young man! We’ve used Rover several times as well as neighbors and friends and family over the years to watch our dogs (we have a 1.5 year old golden doodle, a 7-year-old mini cockapoo, and a 12 yr old miniature boxer) we decided to take a last minute vacation to go see our daughter in North Carolina, which means we were gonna be a good 6 to 7 hours away as well from our dogs, which was nerve-racking and none of our usual people were available. In fact, I couldn’t find anyone available because of the short notice in the five star review arena. I was hesitant to book Owen because the Rover rating had him only like a 2 1/2 star review. But I read the comments and he had two other five star raving reviews and then just one pretty negative rating, but my gut just kept bringing me back to him telling me to give him a chance, so I did. Well you know the saying, “Always trust your gut?” Definitely didn’t fail us with Owen! Our dogs can be pretty intimidating when someone comes up to our dorm. They barrow and sound really ferocious and then they jump all over you be a handful. Owen took right to them and they took right to him! Oh, I forgot to mention the other thing I was nervous about with booking Owen is that he is male. My boxer is not usually a fan of guys whatsoever and he’s super protective if I’m the only one around and not only did he not growl or act standoffishat all towards Owen he seemed like he had known him forever! I honestly wish I could share the photos on here of that same dog Ling with Owen and one of the several photos he sent me. He did every single thing I asked 100% correctly! Which honestly that’s shocking because I leave a full one page document single spaced typed out for people staying at our house watching the dogs and I expect people to forget or missstuff it because it is a lot! Heck my husband and teenage son that live with the dogs full-time don’t remember everything that I want done. Lol Owen didn’t miss a single thing! On top of that, I also have Ringcameras all around the exterior of my home and he played with them and loved on them and they loved on him. In fact I think they even slept with him at night! Lol we got daily check ins from Owen and anything that he noticed was concerning or had questions on he messaged us. And was always super apologetic about disturbing us on vacation. He’s probably nice to a fault Ha! He also washed his bedding in the bedhe stayed in, put our dishes away and some other things which 110,000% is not expected at all! The other thing was shocking is whenever we leave even if family is watching the dogs the dogs will rarely eat and they were so comfortable with him they ate normally! Fortunately with us, we’ve never had any bad experiences with anyone we’ve used on Rover and I would have any of them back again! That being said, there’s just such a loving kind energy that comes off of him that the dogs pick up on so he will be my first call for our next vacation. My husband and I were so impressed with him. We’ve actually thought about reaching out to Rover and seeing if that one negative review could be removed because I get everyone has different experiences, but I just don’t know how there could’ve been such an enormouschange from that review to now is, it’s just not even his character or personality which you will understand if you book him which I highly recommend you do! He should be there with the other five star people, hands-down! So Owen, thank you so very much for loving our babies while we were gone and making us feel so so very comfortable that I don’t have to stress about leaving again! You are a kind soul and I know you had asked me for any tips or suggestions or feedback I can give you for the next time that you can improve on and young man I cannot think of a single thing and that is saying a lot coming from someone like me who is a perfectionist and OCD! We can’t wait to have you over again and I know Jax,Nahla and Montana can’t wait for you to come and stay again also!”
“We had a great experience with Alexxis. Our dogs absolutely loved her — it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was communicative, kind, and made sure to keep us updated with photos. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house, which we really appreciated. It made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”
About: Welcome to my profile! I have been off the market for new clients during my first years of my PhD program, but am so excited to again be accepting new cat AND dog clients. I am a gentle, caring provider who is full of love and compassion for animals. I have had up to five dogs (and cats) at a time my entire life and have been volunteering and working in shelters/boarding kennels since I was 8 years old. I am a responsible, professional, active provider who is available to exercise your dog and take them on adventures or give them some intense TLC time at home. I have cared for dogs and cats all over the country and am a dedicated, respected care provider. In Vermont, I was on the board of a local rescue organization. In Baltimore, we fostered special needs dogs and kittens. I recently moved to San Diego for a PhD program and continued fostering for local rescue organizations; now we’re back on the East coast, and I'd love to talk more about working with you! My wife is home all day while my work remains flexible. Whatever your fur baby needs, they will receive - whether that is constant affection or they prefer to have some alone time to decompress. I respect your pet, their needs, and their schedule and am happy to follow any routine that you share with me. I want to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible in your absence!
“Avery stepped up when we really needed her with only a couple of weeks notice for our honeymoon, and stayed for a full 2 weeks watching our two young goldens, including one that’s still a 8 month old puppy. She did an awesome job with them, was a great communicator, and sent tons of good pictures. Don’t know how we would have been able to enjoy our big trip without knowing they were in good hands with her. She also helped out around the house with cleaning, watering plants, pool maintenance, and even dealing with a repairman on a dryer issue that happened right as we were leaving town. She certainly went above and beyond and we couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Danielle is an above and beyond sitter. She was very communicative and cared for my girl like she was her own. She will without a doubt be the first person I call from now on. I can’t endorse her enough!”
About: The Cockapoo I rescued from a horrible shelter in Oxford, NC lived to be 21yrs old. Had dogs all my life, friends have often entrusted me to watch their pets while they vacationed. Now happily married (we got married at the Senior Dog sanctuary in Severn), my wife Lydia has rescued and cared for many dogs since childhood. While I get to work from home (i.e will be able to tend to your dogs' every need, she has to run out to "make money" for milk bones and will assist during the evenings and on weekends. We love to take our dog to Quiet Waters park and with your permission, will take yours as well. Our home (albeit small) has a fully fenced yard. Tips are greatly appreciated - we provide much better service than any kennel! I am fortunate to be able to work from home and will be able to tend to your dogs' every need (while also caring for my 4yr old Chocolate Lab). We have a fenced yard, there will be a friendly 4yr old Chocolate Lab here for company. My friends consider me to be the dog whisperer, known to be reliable, loveable and patient. Your dog can come along on walks, visit Quiet Waters, and could even come to the family farm - which our dog loves.
“Justine was a fantastic dog sitter! She kept us updated with photos and put us at ease that our Georgie was well taken care of and in good hands. Justine is someone you can count on to be there and without worrying throughout your time away from your buddy.”

Margriet has taken care of our dog a couple of times now and she is our go-to sitter. She is competent and trustworthy and keeps us posted on Rory while we're away. We always return to a happy pup and a house as clean as we left it. We highly recommend Margriet!
Absolutely phenomenal dog sitter. Our dogs get separation anxiety easily and they really took to Joshua quickly and he was so great with them. We needed a sitter in a pinch and he not only pulled through for us, but was one of the best pet sitters we have found in the area. Will definitely book again and highly recommend!
Kayla did an amazing job dog sitting in my house for my 11 year old dog Zoey. Kayla was very friendly and Zoey loved her. Kayla cared so well for Zoey and when I got home I saw that Kayla had washed her own bed sheets!.I definitely recommend Kayla for any pet sitting job and would most definitely hire her again!

Absolutely! Here’s a warm, genuine Rover review: Ally was absolutely wonderful with our dog Daisy! She took care of her for a long weekend and was so sweet, communicative, and attentive throughout her stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing Daisy was in such great hands. To top it off, all of our fire alarms unexpectedly went off while we were away, and Ally handled the situation so calmly and responsibly. We really appreciated how she kept us informed and took care of everything. We would absolutely recommend Ally and would love to have her watch Daisy again!
Ezekiel is a wonderful, dependable, & communicative person. We have quite the menagerie at our house and he takes care of our 2 dogs, cat, birds, frogs, gecko & guinea pig as well as our house. We feel fortunate that he is so responsible & caring with our pets. We will have him pet/house sit again to be sure!!!!!
Jamie once again did great with the fur babies. I felt so comfortable leaving my reactive cattle dog. She also watched my cat and watered the plants. There was a big storm the night before we came back and a neighbors tree fell in our yard and she sent pictures and told us about the situation. We will use Jamie again in the future!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Forest Meadows is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $61 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Meadows 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 Meadows 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 Meadows 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Meadows. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
