About: Growing up my coaches did Rover. I stayed with them very often and helped them take care of their 6 dogs as well as any pets they were taking care of for work. I am a full time college student saying at home. Majority of my code is held online so I am very flexible when it comes to pick up and drop offs! I will make sure to follow the pet parents instructions as no one knows their children better than the parent. I understand that all pets are different so it is important to pay special attention to direction.
About: I have been working at boarding facilities, vet clinics,rescues and animal shelters since I was 16 and am currently working on getting licensed to be a vet tech. I have done both shelter work and TNR. I have handled countless scared, aggressive, anxious, rambunctious animals as well as disabled and medicated babies so I have plenty experience with handling animals of all kinds! This is my passion; I do my best to provide the best care that I can for your pet! I am trained on animal behavior and medical care. I have plenty experience with elderly animals and pets with health concerns. Anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to answer any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your baby! I am usually naturally an early riser and a bit of a night owl so I am prepared for lots of different schedules and routines. I follow each animals' schedule to the T if possible. As well as providing treats and enrichment throughout the entire visit! I also make sure to give them lots of attention and accommodate any sleeping arrangements your animals are used to.
“I adore Virginia. She makes sure our dogs are happy and well-cared for! She behaves as though our house were her own! She enters our home with such ease, King and Junior immediately turn toward her.”
About: Hi, my name's Santana. I'm 24, and currently focusing on my art and independent business, which lets me have a flexible schedule. I've had a pet in my house my whole life and I absolutely love them. But, currently I cannot have one due to my roommates allergies. So, I'm more than excited to get to take care of yours!! I'm energetic when it comes to playing catch, and respectful when it comes to cleaning up after them. I can also just sit and give company to older pets if needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breads, so no need to worry about "scary breads", I love them all. I also have experience with cats, birds, fish, rabbits/bunnies, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am currently working on a self-made schedule, so I have lots of room for scheduling flexibility, and/or short notice needs. Let me know if you have any concerns! Let me start by saying I love animals! I will care for your babies like I would care for my own. I currently do not have a home set up for boarding, but I am more than happy to come to you if possible!

My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and happy in their own home.I have 11 years of experience caring for dogs of various ages. I am comfortable giving oral medications, following strict feeding schedules, and providing lots of belly rubs. I work remotely / part-time, meaning your pets will rarely be left alone for long.

I cannot wait to meet you and your pets. Animals are the joy of the day for me, so I enjoy every moment with them. I squeeze a dog walk or playtime in the morning, evening and whenever they get the zoomies.

About: I grew up with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have plenty of patience for their shenanigans and different energy levels. I have experience with basic behavioral/potty training. Whether your dog likes short or long walks, I can handle it with no trouble. Multi dog households are also something that I have experience with and can walk a couple of dogs at the same time. Pet sitting is my main occupation for the time being, so I have a pretty balanced schedule. I have more than enough time to care for my own pets and other's. For care in your home, I will keep things clean and as tidy as possible. Cleaning litter boxes isn't an issue for me and neither keeping up after dogs. Leave me with instructions and I'll be sure to follow them.
About: Animals have always felt like family to me—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve spent over 5 years looking after dogs of all sizes—from bouncy pups to gentle seniors. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved are all part of the care I provide. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or just being their favorite human for the day, I’m here for it. Caring for animals truly brings me joy—I genuinely believe pets are just furry kids, and they deserve all the love. I work from home and set my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet throughout the day. Pet care fits in perfectly! Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I aim to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment that feels familiar. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In my home, pets have a cozy, calm space with plenty of attention and supervision. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal like family, no matter the location.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Forest Park is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 6,255 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Forest Park. 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.
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 Park 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
