“Sequoyah is a very thoughtful and caring person. She took great care of our dog and our home while we were away, and sent frequent updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Harper was in great hands!”
About: I've looked after pets of all kinds including, cats, dogs, pigs, chickens and ducks to name a few. I have a good 7.5 years of experience under my belt and I have a high attention to detail to make sure that your fuzzy member of the family is getting top quality care. I am available Saturday through Tuesday, as those are my current days off. A typical day with your pet would include walks as many times a day as necessary, meals whenever they are typically had and plenty of play and relaxation throughout the day. If I have a meeting/appointment or need to leave the house for a bit, your pet won't be left alone for more than four hours. When I come to stay with your pet, I'll make it seem as though you never left. I'll do my absolute best to ensure they can continue their daily routines as they always do without skipping a beat. They will receive all the love and care I can muster, including snuggles and hugs a plenty. Making sure they are fed and clean so you can come home to a healthy pet.
“Ashley took care of our beloved Murphy expertly. She always provided pictures and updates to us. She was also available wherever we needed to talk on the phone. While she house sat and took care of our cat, she also watered all our plants and our home was spotless after our week-long vacation. We would highly recommend Ashley to care for any of your fur babies and home.”
About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs since I was young. I have always loved being around dogs(and cats!), I definitely bond better with animals than humans. I love my mini Australian shepherd, Ollie, with my whole entire heart, and I would love your pets as well💕 I work part time, so I am available pretty much always! The days I work, it is from 5:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. so I would have the rest of the day to hang with your animals! Now that summer is here and school is over, my availability is even more open. I am able to follow any expectations or requests left concerning your pets! I will not be boarding other’s pets in my own home however, I am only available for home stay in overnight situations.
About: Your pet’s new best friend is here! 🐾 I love staying active, going on walks, and giving pets all the attention they deserve. From high-energy pups to laid-back cuddle bugs, I match their vibe and make sure they have the best time. Expect lots of tail wags, happy moments, and cute photo updates! I’m free just tell me your needs and how I can assist you and your amazing fur babies and how I can show them as much love as they deserve I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medical requirements. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior changes and prioritize their safety at all times, whether in my home or a client’s home.
About: I have helped out w my friends pets, both dogs & cats throughout the years, I have worked w young & adult animals. With my flexible schedule, I can care for animals per their specific needs. My schedule is flexible since my daily job is a hairdresser, so I can adjust my schedule to fit in needs for each animal individually. I have a small fenced in yard at my home, would prefer to do in clients home, since most animals are more comfortable with that.
“Aly is the BEST!!!!! I have all rescue pets, which means they can be challenging at times. We have 3 large dogs, 4 cats, 2 horses and 6 chickens. Their ages range from 1 year old minions (kittens) to seniors. We also live outin the country which can be a challenge and of course our new well pump had an issue. Aly handled it better than I!😆 The best compliment I can give is that when we came home, all the kids were excited to see us, but all were acting normal and happy, not like the usual "you abandoned us" attitude. Bonus, Aly even washed her own sheets (not something I would have asked her to do or expected). Again, she's the BEST!!!!”
“Leans was beyond great with my animals and my house. Responsible, kind great communicator and respectful to my animals and house. If you need a house or animal sitter she is the one to choose. Also my animals LOVED her!”
“Alisa was great! She is great at communicating, did everything I asked, and my dog loves her! Would definitely want to have her as a sitter again! She took great care of my house and my pets!”
About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Lucy did an excellent job better than I could've hoped for. I was in terrible shape anxious because I had to leave my best for a friend family member to be with a family member that has stage four pancreatic cancer so it's just been a lot it was a big ordeal and, Lucy did an outstanding job. I'm so grateful. Thanks and gratitude them in tears practically so relieved home and all is well...,thank you bless you.”

I grew up around, birds, dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits I know how to change cages. it trained all of my family pets myself i abusoly love and adore animals I am completely open and flexible with my schedule. I have full availability, which means I can be there for your fur children anytime, any day of the week. My top priority is providing dedicated, reliable care whenever you need it, and I am happy to adjust my routine to meet the specific needs of your pets. I prioritize consistency to help your pet feel comfortable and safe. I strictly follow the feeding and potty routines that your pet is already used to. In addition to these routines, I am happy to provide grooming care, such as bathing and brushing, and I will always keep the space clean. My goal is to provide the best care possible so that your furry friend’s daily routine remains exactly the same as it is when they are with you.
About: All my life growing up we had dogs of different kinds. I was always the one that mainly fed and watered the dogs and made sure they had potty breaks and walked them things of that nature. Even friends and neighbors asked me to walk their dogs. 15 years ago I got my boy cujo and he's been my son ever since. He is my world. He saved my life and I owe him the world. Now I have a second dog and I wouldn't change it for anything. I have trained both of my dogs. Cujo can sit, lay down, shake, speak, roll over, and stay. Daisy is still a work in progress being a pup. I currently work part-time maybe one or two days a week so I have plenty of time to spend and play with your pets and help train them and walk them and bathe them and whatever they need. Dogs love unconditionally and I love dogs the same I do have a fenced-in yard and two of my own dogs plus two other dogs at the house that would love to play with other dogs. I can also create your dogs if need be but I prefer to let them run and play as they wish
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for about 15 years and have always loved them! I am very reliable for walking, sitting, feeding and bathing pets. I no longer have pets in my home, but previously did and loved them more than anything! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m mostly available weekends and some week days, I am very flexible. I have a fenced yard so my pets are well trained. I have a big and a small dog so I know a lot of the differences between the two and what they both require! I am always making sure they have water/ food and pay attention to potty breaks.
About: I have taken care of dogs & cats of any age or breed while raising 3 daughters. Friends in our community and family members have reached out to me to take care of & feed their pets overnight for a long weekend or up to 10 days. I am retired for the past 7 years, so I have a lot of flexibility in my days to fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine. Where I’ve been living for the past 6 years, fur babies were not allowed. So my taking care of others pets in their homes fulfilled that void. We are now located in Magalia since June and settling into our new home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life I grew up with dogs and a cat to even getting older and getting a dog of my own I’m a huge pet lover and can guarantee your pet will be in good hands with me!

FAQs for House Sitting - Forest Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forest Ranch. 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 Ranch 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 Ranch 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 Ranch 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 Ranch. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 83% 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.
