“Reyna was wonderful to work with-great at communicating, kept us updated with pictures during her stay, and took great care of our house and dog. We’ve already booked her again for another trip ☺️”
“Jacob is hands-down, an amazing dog sitter! We never had to worry a bit. He always went above and beyond. And always kept us updated! I highly recommend him. And I don’t like to give such high recommendations because then maybe he might not be available for me next time lol. But please use Jacob, if you are ever in need of a dog sitter.”
“Rae is a wonderful soul and very good with my two Boston terrier girls. She is very compassionate and competent and I totally trust her. My girls welcomed her immediately and enjoyed the walks and company.”
“Kringle was very happy with Juliana. She let him cuddle with her at night which he loves. It was nice to go on vacation and not have to worry about him. I came home to a clean house and she even washed the linens and put them back on the bed.”
“Alaina was great! She took the boys for some walks, one got muddy and she bathed him, and one also got an upset stomach one day in the house. She cleaned it all up and made sure he was good to go. She really did well with my furry kids. I will use her again whenever I am in need of someone to trust with them.”
“Nick took care of our home and our dogs with very short notice. He took great care of everything. I would definitely recommend and will be happy to have him look after everything again.”
“Autumn did great. She came and met my furry babies prior to sitting. Cairo is very timid, but he warmed up to her fairly quickly, and Siberia loves attention . Autumn also periodically sent pictures and communicated with me on how they were doing. I am definitely going to use her again. Thank you Autumn.”
“Cassie is compassionate. funny., thoughtful, creative, hardworking, trustworthy, intelligent. She has a good understanding of all instructions and what is expected of her. She’s done an outstanding job. She is awesome.”
“Erin is absolutely amazing. She not only took great care of my pups. She was an excellent house guest. I think she lift my house cleaner than I left it. :) She communicated on a regular basis and sent pictures and videos consistently. I never worried nor wondered how my pups were doing. I will hire her again FOR SURE!”
“This is the first time I have used Rover because our regular dog sitter was not available. I literally can not say enough good things about Ashlyn! My girls absolutely loved her and she sent the best pupdates! She was great to work with and took the stress away of leaving my girls with a new sitter. The Rover process was also easy to navigate as a first time user!”
“Emily is a treasure. She's such a natural. She took care of my 2 large dogs for over a week- they immediately adored her. My vacation was so much better not worrying about my floofs.”
“Kailee I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful care you took of Charlie Brown while we were away. This was the first time we ever left Charlie at home. (Normally he travels with us). Knowing that our dog was so well cared for each and every day allowed us to really relax and not worry about him while we were on vacation. We are forever grateful for the awesome job you provided caring for Charlie Brown Thanks a million”
“We cannot overstate how excellent Robert was for us. It's immediately clear when meeting Robert that he values our dogs as his own. Robert was very flexible and exceeded our expectations, despite the challenges of handling the care of our multiple dogs.”
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn. I am 25 years with an Bachelor of Science degree. I have a passion of caring for animals. I have 1 dog naned Leo, he is an American Staffordshire Pitbull. I’ve had him since 2020 when he was 3 months old. I have been dog sitting for 6 years now. I have experience working in a dog daycare for 3 years. My additional duties working in a dog daycare involved keeping the kennels clean of waste, dog fur, stray food and water, and other material that keep dogs from being comfortable away from their owners. I enjoy being able to play and have fun with dogs. While walking your dog I will make sure he/she stays dehydrated throughout the summer/winter. Feel free to contact me about any questions you have or concerns and times that I am available to care. Thank you! Feeding: Start the day by feeding pets according to their specific dietary needs and specific feeding times through out the day. Exercise: Take dogs for a morning/afternoon walk or engage them in playtime. 1. Feeding: Ensure pets are fed according to their specific dietary needs. Provide fresh water daily. 2. Exercise: Take dogs for regular walks or play with them to keep them active. For cats, engage them with toys or provide space for climbing and exploration. 3. Safe Environment: Remove any hazards from the home, such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be swallowed. 4. Attention and Affection: Spend quality time with pets to meet their social needs. This can include petting, playing, or simply sitting together. 5. Follow Client Instructions: Adhere to any specific care instructions provided by the pet owner, including feeding schedules and preferences. 6. Communication: Maintain open communication with clients about their pet’s well-being and any concerns that arise.
“Nichelle was a blessing !!! While my husband & I were on vacation in Mexico my phone WOULD NOT WORK !! (hubby forgot his UGH !) My phone would not call out or text. Thank God we were able to communicate through Rover. Nichelle was great with sending pictures and updates everyday. Our home and babies were great when we returned. We would highly recommend Nichelle’s services. Would love to use her again if need be.”
“Diana was absolutely AMAZING! She was a star for helping us out last minute, and the dogs loved her. She sent us tons of pictures and videos the whole time she was with them. She even left us the sweetest note along with some treats and a Polaroid of each dog! 🩷”
“Dakota did an outstanding job taking care of our dogs at our home. He was incredibly attentive, making sure our pets were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. It was clear that he genuinely cares for animals, as he went above and beyond to keep them happy and healthy. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her capable hands. We highly recommend Dakota for anyone looking for reliable and loving pet care!”

Jacob did a wonderful job staying with my 6 month old puppy! He was kind and patient, quick to respond, attentive, gave him the exercise he needed, his snacks, and sent pictures of their time together!! Would totally ask him to watch my boy again. Thank you jacob!
Diana was our first sitter while using Rover. She far exceeded every expectation I had. She sent frequent videos and pictures with updates. My animals loved her. I was unsure how I would feel having someone I didn’t know in my house. However, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving my animals and my belongings in her care. I will definitely use her again in the future if the need arises.

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Forest Park on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 845 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
