“Mikayla was fantastic! I was immediately put at ease during our meet and greet, and while we were gone she was so communicative and sent great pictures each day. Our big cat Sampson loved her and she even managed to win over our super shy little one, Ann Perkins. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Kristaina was great!! She was available on short notice, during thanksgiving! She was responsive and gave updates throughout the day. She also sent pictures throughout the day. I will definitely be using Krsitana again in the future”
“Brittany was awesome! I felt 100% comfortable with her taking care of my two dogs while I traveled. She sent updates with pictures and video everyday. I will definitely book her again and would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog walker and dedicated animal lover with a background volunteering at the Atlanta Humane Society. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and know how to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-exercised. I have a full time job that is 8:30am- 5pm , but I am free after work and on the weekends to care for your pet! I will make sure your pet is well cared for with plenty of walks, food, and water! At the animal shelter, I was trained on caring for animals.
“Ashley was a wonderful companion to our dog, Delia, and our seven hens! She also provided comfort to us with updates that included photos of their adventures. It gave us so much peace of mind to know Ashley was keeping our anxious pup company in our home.”
About: Hi there I’m Myeisha but also referred to as Bullies N Babez. I bring 20 years of tail-wagging experience to every furry friend I meet! As a lifelong animal lover, I’m dedicated to providing top-notch care that feels like a second home for your pets. Whether it’s playful pups, curious kitties, or even the occasional feathered friend, I treat them all like family. I have previously ran a large scale kennel of my own so no pup is beyond the scope of my experience. With a passion for pet wellness and plenty of fun, we ensure every visit is filled with love, play, and peace of mind for you. Trust me to keep your pets happy and healthy while you’re away! I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to come to your home or give your pet the one on one attention they need in mine. I am able to provide a structured temporary environment in my home when your furry friends visit. I do have access to a pet play area but always walk on leash to ensure safety. When caring for animals in their own environment, I am able to conform to the current schedule that is in place and also can offer helpful tips and training suggestions and no extra charge. When I offer dog walking services, we will automatically work on leash etiquette, as well as basic obedience. Trusting me with your pets care will not only ensure your pet is well taken care of and safe, but also have lasting effects to make your job as a pet parent easier.
“This was my first time using Rover and I feel like we made a great choice hiring Dan! Dan made our first experience better by happily offering to meet the pups in advance to make sure the pet sitting weekend went smoothly. His calm energy was really reassuring, especially because one of our dogs is a bit anxious. When we got home our dogs were happy and the house was tidy. We will definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future.”
About: As a proud dog and cat mama, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t just animals, they’re family! 💗 With 6 years of pet care experience, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the different personalities, routines, and needs that make every furry friend special. My experience as a pet parent has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding animal body language. From energetic pups who love exploring to independent little personalities who prefer affection on their own terms, I believe every pet deserves individualized attention. I’m especially passionate about making animals feel comfortable, loved, and understood. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, having some playtime, or simply keeping each other company, my goal is to make your pet’s day a little brighter and give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. Expect plenty of love, attention, and adorable updates along the way! 🐾 As a full-time content creator, I have the flexibility to organize much of my schedule independently, which allows me to make dedicated time for pet care throughout the week! I love incorporating walks, outdoor time, and little adventures into my daily routine, so spending that time with a furry companion is a wonderful fit. I’m interested in providing consistent, reliable walking and drop-in visits, with availability that can accommodate both recurring appointments and occasional visits. I believe pets thrive with consistency, so I make it a priority to respect their established schedules and give each visit my full attention. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities! 💗 As a pet parent, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. During walks, I prioritize secure leashes and harnesses, awareness of our surroundings, and routes appropriate for your dog’s energy level and needs. I avoid unfamiliar animal interactions unless specifically discussed and approved. For drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, playtime, potty breaks, and household routines. I also respect your home, double-check doors and gates, and make sure your pet is settled before leaving. I believe communication builds trust, so you can expect thoughtful updates and photos throughout our time together. Every animal is different, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe, loved, and understood! 🐾
About: I’ve always adored pets growing up and both of my parents are certified veterinarians so I pretty much grew up around animals my entire life! I’m currently a college student doing online classes so I am at home majority of the time taking care of my own personal pets day to day I monitor them really the entire time with them by my side, but I also have two veterinarians with me in my household every day
“Anisha was the absolute best! As a first time Rover user we were nervous and she sent continuous updates and pictures that eased our minds. Her two pups were so sweet to our dog as well and we were so grateful our dog had the chance to play with others. Truly a great first experience!”

“Katie is great. I needed to extend my trip and she was able to help out. My apartment was as clean as a left it and my cat was super chill when I returned. I recommend Katie as an in-house cat sitter”
“Lanae was beyond kind to our two mini dachshunds. They have anxiety and are less than a year old, so they can be a hand full. She also stayed at our house and left everything as is. She was communicative and sent pictures often. Our two little dogs were sad to see her go. 💜 There was a small billing issue with Rover and she was quick to call and work it out. I’d 100% recommend Lanae. I could not say enough good things about her!”
About: I’ve been the go-to house & pet-sitter for my friends and family for around 10 years. I have experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been described as a gentle soul who really makes sure the pets are appreciated 🤗. I’m currently in an X-ray school program so I am just looking for something to do on the side while I’m studying. I am usually in school Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 7am-1pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do clinical rotations from 8am-4pm. I can look after your babies in between those hours! I make sure to give plenty of attention to the dogs and cats but also meet them where they’re at as well. For dogs, I make sure that they are adequately worked and can administer medication if needed. For the kitties, the litter box stays clean and eating routines are followed on a dime. In sum, I try my best to make the animals feel supported and not anxious.
About: I’ve grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, pigs, fish, reptiles, and birds! I currently work at Wag Atlanta, a daycare/boarding facility where I gain hands on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I get off work at 2 pm Sunday-Thursday so I’m free to care for your pets until 10 pm! I am also free to work Friday, Saturday, and most holidays with select hours. :} During drop-in visits, I can check in on your dog and care for any additional pets in your home as well 💕 That can include fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, arachnids, etc. As long as I’m given clear instructions/routine I’m able to feed, play with, administer medication, and spend quality time with your pets to make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by cleaning up after pets & monitoring their behavior. I will send many pictures and videos to keep you updated as well as communicate any concerns. My goal is to keep your pets happy, stress free, and well cared for while their owners are away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forest Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Park 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 Park 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 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!
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.
