About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, geckos, snakes, including FERRETS, and many more! I’ve been responsible for cats and dogs within my family since I was 13. I fed, changed litters, fetched, gave love and kisses. Snake, I was 12. I had a BOA snake. I always watched my mother feed the snake, loved to play with it, & gave it love. Many of my friends have lizards (even bearded ones), hamsters, rabbits, FARM animals (of course, followed by instructions), and many more!! And the ferret I rescued passed last year. I will love ANY animals. I’m right here to help if no one will take care, not just for dogs and cats. I’m right here! ❤️🐾 🐾 I have mostly experience in taking care of (definitely not every animal, tho), taking care of them. I love them! Yes! I feed exotic animals with no issues. I'm sure this wild part of who I am is with animals, exotic animals, and FARM animals, definitely apart from many people, perhaps. I enjoy pets, willing to take out for a walk, or to housesitting. I make friends with pets, even with aggressive ones. Easy to show no fear. Maybe I'll become a trainer one day. The home I’m staying at is not my home, but I can take care of your animals at yours, I love to play what they play. Dogs can fetch in the backyard or the dog park close by. Cats, I like to play with sticks to earn their trust. !!!!!!! ***I have no fear of any type of home animals*** !!!!!!!
About: My work schedule allows me to WFH and take long walks with cute dogs. I have a friendly 1.5 year old golden doodle who is with me half of the time. I work from home so my schedule allows for walk or run breaks. I love to be outside, so no walk is too long or short. I have a fenced in yard and an almost 2 year old friendly and playful golden doodle who is with me half of the time.
“Kayla was absolutely great with my cat! She was great to communicate with and responsive, and was extra mindful in ensuring my older meow got plenty of solid attention and care while I had to be away. Highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve always been a big dog lover! I have worked as a kennel technician between 2021-2024 and the experience was amazing. To add I also have a senior (12) and a middle age dog (7) of my own. I love to take care of them. I am working full time Monday-Thursday with the availability of free evenings. I am fully available Friday-Sunday for dog walking and/or dog-sitting. I currently live in an apartment with two reactive pets. I would prefer to dog-sit as it would be safer for all pets. I am always gauging unbelonging behavior amongst my dogs.
About: I have had 2 dogs during my life, but they are my world. No matter the age, size, or breed of dog, I have had 6+ years of experience in caring, bathing, and long-term sitting. Our furry friends deserve the best care they can get. Most days I’m completely open, but if you need a sitter on days I work, no biggy! I only work a few hours a day, so I am still available to watch, walk, drop in, and bathe your pups, as long as we’re both flexible! For long-term sitting, I am wide open, including weekends. Times to check in and care for your animals during those times can be discussed to figure out what would work best for both you and myself, along with whether or not you want me to stay overnight with them. If you are wanting to include a dog bath with any of my services, just let me know and we will discuss things like products, timing, and other details that I will need to know before providing one. After all is said and done, I will make the note on your booking and all will be good! I have been actively caring for other people's pets in their homes for 5+ years now. Every concern, idea, and notice of yours will be taken into account and followed when I am in your home.
“Brittnee was excellent! This was my first time using rover/allowing a new person to take care of my dogs while i was out of town. It was a last minute trip and she made time to meet my dogs and make sure it was a good fit. I sent Brittnee so much info about my dogs/my house but she is a pro and could have done it without any of that. One of my dogs is a little stand off ish with new people but she handled it like she’d done it 100 times. I would love to use her services again in the future.”
About: I have had family pets since childhood. As an adult I have always had one or two dogs at a time. I’m the friend of my friend group who is always down to watch their pets while they are out of town. I love all animals and want them all happy and safe. :) I’m currently on a job hunt so I’m extra flexible and available! I was (and hope to continue) working from home which was very helpful to be flexible to accomodate watching pets at different times throughout the week. Feel free to provide detailed instructions on the care for your pet! I understand how important routines are especially in special circumstances for some pets.
“Payton was an absolute life saver for us! She did an amazing job with our two dogs. Fantastic communication, gave updates and pictures every time she stopped by for a check in. We will 100% be booking her again next time we need pet care!”
“Cassidy was amazing! She was super punctual, which we really appreciate because one of our cats takes anti-seizure meds twice a day. She was consistent in providing photos and updates, so we had very few worries while away on a trip. We’ll definitely book her again!”
“Amanda took great care of my 7 year old tortie cat Skyler! She was very responsive , followed the care instructions perfectly, sent pictures, was punctual, and spent extra time giving my cat lots of love! I will definitely be reaching out again to Amanda for pet sitting and would highly recommend her.”
“Cambrye did a few drop in visits for us recently and it went perfectly and was a piece of cake. She’s super sweet, easy going and took great care of Miller. I highly recommend her as a great Rover sitter and will for sure use her again.”
“Abi took care of care of my cat Jelly bean for the first time and it was a great weekend. Jelly bean seemed happy and well cared for when I returned and I will definitely be asking Abi to take care of her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for my own two dogs since I was 10 years old and have been dog sitting since I was 15. I’m currently 23 and have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have worked with disabled dogs and dogs that need medication . I genuinely love spending time with animals, so pet sitting rarely feels like work to me. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a recent graduate of UC Irvine and now am taking a gap year in Oklahoma (hometown) . Since I’m out of school and currently not working, I am extremely flexible. If I am sitting at a client’s home, I will first take note of the house rules and dog sitting rules the client provides me. My dog sitting experience will be based off and centered around those factors. If I am dog sitting in my own home, I will make sure the pet is away from any things that can be broken or can harm the pet. I will walk and play with the dogs periodically and feed/provide water as needed as well.
“Olivia did a great job watching our 3 cats while we were gone for a week. She gave very detailed updates and plenty of pictures. Our cats got lots of play time with Olivia and even a treat each day. She was very caring and attentive, letting us know when one of our cats had a hairball and when an animal was getting into our outdoor plants. We will definitely be booking with Olivia again next time we need someone to watch our cats!”
About: Friends and family always ask me to look after their pets. I am patient, enthusiastic and great with both dogs and cats. I would love the chance to help walk or sit your fur baby today! I am focusing on school right now so my schedule is wide open. I prefer mornings so it isn’t so hot for the dogs. I walk at the pace of the dog and am very patient. I bring water with for the dogs with me on all my walks.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’ve had dogs of my own for the past 7 years! I love animals and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll treat your pets like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and patience. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in loving hands while you’re away! 🐾 I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I can swing by anytime after 11am, during the day, and then anytime in the evening before 8pm! Monday through Friday! My goal is to make every pet feel loved, relaxed, and right at home, wherever they’re staying. 🤍 I do my best to stick to each pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to playtime, special care, and extra cuddles. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll also send regular photo updates and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for while you’re away! 🐾
About: I have cared for animals my entire life. Before moving to Oklahoma I cared for 2 dogs and a cat! I currently have a yellow lab who enjoys days at the dog park and lots of cuddles! He is friendly with all other animals including other male dogs. I have worked for a dog sitting/house sitting service before and had multiple repeat pet parents. Unfortunately it was a local service, so here I am on Rover. Reach out with any questions for me! As a grad student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, making it easy to accommodate your needs. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving lots of love and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have one gentle, well-socialized dog who loves new friends. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed or follow any specific routines to help your pup feel at home. I strive to create a calm, loving, and secure environment where your pet feels safe and happy while you're away.
About: I've taken care of different breeds of dogs for the past 20+ years. All small, but can also care for large dogs as well! Very good at sticking to schedules, feeding, walking, etc. Have administered some medications. I am currently working full time. Work hours are from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. But am able to leave on lunch breaks to go and let pets out if needed. Preferably near my my workplace, but is negotiable. I prefer to do all of my bookings in the clients/pet parents homes. I like to keep the pet/pets in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. It’s stressful for them to be away from their families and I want to make sure they’re as calm and relaxed as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest Park is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 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 1,399 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
