“This was our first time leaving Lilo, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We were a little nervous at first, but Susana quickly put us at ease with regular updates, adorable photos, and so much love, personalized care and attention for our pup. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She truly went above and beyond, and we’re incredibly grateful. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

Advantages: Nice personality and very polite. A genuine love for dogs. knowledgeable about what dogs need. very energetic. Thank you Kevin!”
“Thankfully, Miranda helped us out last minute with taking care of our pup. She responded quickly and gave us updates and pics while we were out of town. Sasha had a good time making new friends! 😍”

“Shayna is so great with our dog, Sadie! We never worry when our precious pet is with Shayna, because she’s so attentive to her needs, and always sends us pictures and videos daily! We love that Sadie plays so well with Shayna‘s other dogs.”
“Tina is a great person and wonderful pet sitter! She took very good care of our senior dog, Sammy. She sent us daily updates and pictures/videos, sometimes 2 times a day. Thank you Tina for taking great care of Sammy.”
“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
“My dog Duke had a great time with JJ and Family. JJ sent me plenty of pictures throughout the day to let me know how Duke was doing. She made sure Duke had toys to play with. Duke had a fun day full of playtime with the family dog. Duke can be very high energy, but JJ and her family did a really great job at taking care of him for me.”
“Laura took great care of my dog for 10 days. He can be a bit anxious when first separating from me, but he was able to relax after the first day. Her frequent updates and photos also helped me to relax because I knew he was in good hands.”
“I have booked Sarah for boarding twice now, and I have nothing but good things to say about her! My Mini Schnauzer, Freddie, absolutely loves spending time with her and her family, and he even recognized her the second time around. She sends me daily updates letting me know that Freddie is enjoying himself on his walks and playing in the yard. She is super sweet and easy to communicate with, and I highly recommend booking with her! I will definitely continue to do so myself!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely love caring for pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and big on making sure animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to give your pet all the attention they deserve. I’m also a mom, so caring for little creatures and keeping a routine is basically my specialty. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available during the week and on weekends for walks, drop ins, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, whether I’m caring for them in your home or taking them for a walk. I’m attentive, patient, and will make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
“Fiona is fantastic; she is very patient; Rocky had a lovely time with her. She took him for walks several times and regularly sent photos with updates. I'm sure any dog will be happy with her.”
“Walt took great care of my pup Pasta. He only stayed overnight but I would definitely have him stay there again! He was very kind and responsive and gave my pup lots of exercise he was so tired when he came. Highly recommend!”
“Almost don’t want to leave this review because I don’t want her to get completely booked up, lol, but Leslie and her family are the best sitters we’ve ever had. Oliver is the most relaxed I’ve ever seen him when he comes home from her house and is always happy to go in the door. I think he really thinks they’re his second family 😊🐾”
About: I’ve been a dog parent and animal lover for more than 20 years, and throughout that time I’ve also cared for dogs and cats for friends while they traveled or needed an extra hand. I have extensive experience with small and medium-sized dogs, including senior dogs. I’ve trained my own dogs using patience, consistency, treats, and positive reinforcement, and both are well-socialized and house-trained. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means playing together, going for a neighborhood walk, enjoying some outdoor time, or simply giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience and affection I give my own. I work from home full-time, so I’m home throughout most of the day and have plenty of time for play, attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I’m available for boarding seven days a week, depending on my calendar, and I keep my Rover availability updated. Because I work from home, visiting dogs get to be part of my normal daily routine rather than spending long stretches of the day alone. I especially enjoy having a furry coworker nearby! Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I have two friendly, social dogs of my own: a Corgi and a small Miniature Pinscher/Dachshund mix. I accept only a limited number of guest dogs so I can provide plenty of individual attention and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. My home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. Inside, visiting dogs are welcome to relax and make themselves at home, including on the furniture and bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I use positive reinforcement and always want visiting pets to feel safe and comfortable. I can also separate dogs when needed for feeding, rest, or personal space using a secure indoor gated area. Before a first stay, I like to learn about your dog’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, potty habits, medications or special needs, and how they interact with other dogs. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible and give you peace of mind while they’re in my care.
“Was extremely pleased with our experience. Mrs Ernestina was wonderful. Her family was wonderful. I felt very comfortable the minute I met her and so did my Rufie. I will use her every time I need a sitter from now on.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life and currently have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and birds. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, including larger dogs and pets that need a little more patience. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I’ll always treat them like I would my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and your pet’s normal routine. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends and can provide plenty of supervision throughout the day. I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I also have multiple rooms available, so pets can be kept separate when needed or given their own space to relax and feel comfortable. I’ll follow any feeding instructions, walking schedules, routines, or other preferences you provide, and I’m happy to adjust based on each pet’s personality and needs.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Park
Chengcheng was very sweet with our female yorkie. She was very confident that my dog’s reactivity would not be a problem with the other dogs in the house. Indeed in a few minutes after we left, our dog was happily exploring and playing. She was responsive, prompt and sent us lots of pictures! I would book her again anytime!
Yelda has been amazing with Nami! She’s very caring, reliable, and I always feel at ease knowing Nami is in good hands with her. She takes such great care of her and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend Yelda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! ❤️
All the positive reviews about Alyssa are 100% true! I was in need of a sitter for our eldery Shih Tzu (Molly) for three days! Alyssa was friendly and professional during the coordination process. We dropped Molly off at Alyssa's residence and received a heart-felt welcoming! We saw an instant connection between Molly and Alyssa making the situation of leaving Molly behind comforting. During our trip, Alyssa maintained communication with us via text message and photographs which ensured us Molly was doing well. Upon pick up, Molly was clean and easily noticeable she had been well taken care of! I would highly recommend Alyssa!
Stacey was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsive from the very beginning, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took amazing care of our three dogs, and it was clear they were in great hands. What impressed me the most was how quickly she won over my anxious dog, who normally doesn’t warm up to new people. Seeing him feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home with Stacey meant the world to me. It’s obvious she has a genuine love for animals and knows how to make them feel safe. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with Stacey again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
I always leave Freddie with Sarah when I need dog sitting, and it’s always an amazing experience. She sends regular updates and pictures, and she takes extra good care of Freddie while I’m gone. Her house dogs get along very well with Freddie too, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Sarah and I’ll continue to choose her in the future!
Ashley was a perfect match. She did a phenomenal job watching Lucky. She made us feel completely at eased. Ashley treat Lucky like a king. She made us follow our instructions with love and passion. We are so grateful to have met her, and we would absolutely love to ever watching Lucky again. Thank you so much, Ashley 🙏🤗

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Forest Park home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Forest Park.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Forest Park sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
