About: I am a dependable, patient, and caring pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs and cats by feeding them, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to providing excellent care while you’re away. I currently work part time my shifts are no longer than 7 hours. I get a 1 hour break and can walk, feed, and spend time with your pet during my break. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special routines. I will keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment.
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and I’m comfortable handling all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and small details, which helps dogs settle in quickly. I’m active, so walks and playtime are never an issue, but I also know how to keep things calm when needed. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they’re safe, exercised, and genuinely enjoying their time. My schedule is flexible, so I can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and stays, including weekends. I prioritize exercise, routine, and check-ins so your dog is cared for and engaged. I create a calm, secure environment and stick closely to each dog’s routine. I pay attention to behavior and surroundings to prevent issues early. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding, keeping everything safe, clean, and stress-free so your dog feels comfortable and you have peace of mind!
“Madison was absolutely fantastic coming dropping in to feed and medicate my 15 year old cat. She was very communicative, sent plenty of pictures and just knowing that he was in such good hands made my trip so much more enjoyable.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments and currently raise both a senior dog and a puppy, so I understand the different needs each stage requires. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication (if needed), walks, crate training, and providing a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, communication, and reliability. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize pet care daily since I have dogs of my own. I’m available for weekday mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks or drop-ins. I can also provide boarding whenever it is needed. I provide a structured, safe, and attentive environment. My home has a fully fenced yard and two well-socialized dogs. I supervise all playtime, separate pets when necessary, and follow feeding, medication, and exercise routines carefully. Cleanliness, security, and communication are extremely important to me, and I provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
“Darayell is a great dig sitter. She really cares about dogs and it shows. We have used her services several times now. She is always on time, very punctual, and detailed with her interactions with our fur babies. Darayell is super nice and very polite. We are so lucky to have her available to take care of our three fur babies.”
“Destiny took great care of my two cats while I was away and sent detailed daily updates. I could tell they were happy interacting with her. I'll definitely book with Destiny again in the future. Thanks, Destiny!”
About: I’m an animal lover, and have 2 cats of my own. I’ve recently returned to Atlanta after 4 years in Europe. I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs - at the peak we had 4 cats and 2 dogs. I’ve also done pet sitting for friends, family and internationally. I’ve volunteered and fostered dogs through LifeLine, so I have experience with a wide array of ages and temperaments. I have a hybrid job which gives me increased flexibility during the week to care for your family members. I work 9-5, but on my office days I can easily pop home at lunch to check on your pets. Other days of the week, I’ll be working at home. I have a fenced in back yard, so your dog can roam around and explore. I also have 3 bedrooms, so I can separate or crate pets as well as needed to ensure they’re safe and comfortable.
“Tavia was wonderful with Brooklyn! She and her daughter were so friendly, and I could tell Tavia truly loves dogs and treated Brooklyn like her own. Brooklyn had a great time, and I loved all the videos and photos! I’ll definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”

“Monique did such a great job with my baby girl Kimora. Very caring and pays attention to details and reliable. Communicating Very well, definitely will be booking more with her.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, caring for pets like dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I’m currently in college studying to become a vet tech and work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I started pet sitting in August of last year and have loved every second of it! I provide personalized care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, and I treat every pet like family. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friends—I’d love to meet them! I am currently a student, and my work schedule varies weekly, typically ranging between 6:00 AM and 6:30 PM. However, I pride myself on being highly flexible and am happy to accommodate your needs with clear and timely communication. I currently have two dogs at home—a pit mix and a greyhound mix. My pit mix does not get along with other dogs, so I have experience managing and keeping dogs safely separated when necessary. I am also experienced in administering medications and ensuring pets receive the care they need. Additionally, I provide detailed updates and photos throughout the day to keep you informed and at ease.
“Amazing dog walker! Came in on short notice and saved me while I was out of town. If you’re in need of an amazing dog walker, that can handle any type of dog, this is the one you’re looking for! Will definitely be using her services from now on!”
“Katlyn took excellent care of both of our cat and dog. They are both weary of new people and she went out of her way to open them up and constantly care for them. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and chickens. While I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, I'm most experienced with large dogs, and have no problem managing pups who weigh well over a hundred pounds. I also have experience training puppies, and am currently learning the basics of canine massage. Around me, your fur baby will always be happy, well-loved, and protected! I'm currently unemployed outside of pet-sitting and dog walking, so my schedule is generally pretty open. Most of my availability is in the morning and early afternoon, but I'm quite flexible as it relates to scheduling. Please let me know if you require my services outside of my typical hours, and I'll be happy to try and accommodate you! When taking clients on walks, I'm careful to ensure their safety and comfort. I often bring booties with me to protect their feet on hot days, and make sure I'm stocked up on water and pet parent-compliant treats before embarking on walks. While walking, I let dogs sniff around as much as they like, and provide a gentle guiding hand and a vigilant eye to protect them from harm. Before I leave, I check to make sure all entrances are locked in order to maintain the safety of my clients and their home.
About: I've took care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I had a blind cat that I cared for when I was 17 years old. Feeding and walking are the main ways to keep animals well taken care of. Exercising helps keep the pets in great condition with blood properly flowing to the heart. I'll soon be working on getting my veterinarian certificate/license. I'm currently free everyday just not after 6 o'clock pm. I’m free Friday-Sunday mainly all day. If you need a weekend sitter I can be there. I can keep your dog occupied playing and giving belly rubs. Make sure there are no hazards that the animal can choke on safety first.
About: What sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give every animal. I believe pets are family, and I care for them as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m comfortable keeping them on their regular routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and administering basic care. As an ESA owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy helping puppies burn off energy through play and can provide extra patience and gentle care for senior dogs who may need a slower pace and more attention. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, secure, and cared for until their family returns. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work three days a week—Sunday through Tuesday—so I’m very flexible during my four days off. On those days, I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and personalized attention. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their family is away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own ESA, Millie.

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Forest Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Forest Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
