About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets for years. I work part-time in a pet clothing boutique and love it. I am so excited at the opportunity to create a quality experience for your pet. Pet care is something that brightens my day between college, tutoring, and my pet boutique job. I like to stay busy and would love to devote my time to your pet and home. I love making pets feel comfortable and loved in their own space. Quality time is something that means a lot to people and furry friends!

About: Currently have a dogs and a cat. Was up to 8 cats and 2 dogs after rescuing a litter of and an single orphane. I also rescued my own dog as well after she was abandoned by a friends roommate. I have had animals all my life as well. Even farm animals due to participating in FFA I can help continue house, crate, leash, etc. train while i care for them. I am not a certified trainer but I've gone through training with my own and feel comfortable implementing your routine while watching your pet. I can also bathe animals if needed I work randomly at Kay Jewelers and have a son I have about 75% of the time. I am available during most of the work week and weekend. I have been given mostly closing shifts so evenings are busier for me than mornings. My life is work and home, and when I'm home I'm always looking for a reason to be out of the house. I believe any proper teaching, training, caring or interacting is done through positive reinforcement. Following your house rules and understanding the needs of your pup is important

“Jordyn was absolutely awesome!!! I can’t thank her enough for being able to provide drop ins for my bunny on such short notice. I really appreciated her sending me a picture each day and being thorough in making sure my baby was taken care of. She made sure to clean my pet’s water fountain without me asking and I felt great about her watching my girl! I knew while I was gone that she was in safe hands which is the best thing one can hope for in a sitter. I will definitely book with her again in the future if I need care again. Thank you Jordyn!!”

About: I love animals of all kinds, and treat them like they are a family member (because they are). Our fur babies cannot speak for themselves, so it is up to us to provide them with the best care possible, so they can live happy, healthy and full lives. I have a lot experience house and pet sitting, and I take pride in my work. I am caring and compassionate, I am clean and organized, I also come with a former vet tech sister, lol. I have a dog (Eero, 12, GSD) and a cat (Trout, 19) who light up my world. I am excited to meet you and your pets! I am a full-time graduate student at Chico State. I am on campus 4 days a week, but only for a few hours at a time. I am lucky to have the schedule I do so I get to spend a great deal of time with my babies! I am organized and follow directions well. I will make sure your home and pets are well cared for and treated as I do my own babies! Your wish is my command when it comes to the care of your home and pets!

About: I’m a dedicated Vet Tech student with strong animal care skills, offering patient puppy support, gentle senior care, and personalized attention to keep every pet safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available after 2:15 PM on weekdays (and after 5 PM on Mondays). I can only board overnight on weekends, which allows me to give pets my full attention and keep their routines consistent. I live in an apartment with a secure, supervised patio and plenty of space for any crate size. I also take dogs to the on-site dog park for safe exercise and play.

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 6 years, including dogs of all sizes, cats, and even litters of kittens. From energetic puppies who need patience and play to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, I’ve had hands-on experience with it all. What sets me apart is my attentiveness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, noticing the little things that help them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle time, or just keeping them company, I bring a calm and caring energy. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available for pet care between 8am and 8pm. Since I have pets of my own, I understand how important routine and attention are, and I’ll make sure your pets get the same care and consistency. I plan visits and walks in a way that lets me balance my own animals’ needs with giving yours my full attention. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I’ll work with you to keep your pet’s schedule steady and stress-free. I care for pets with the same attentiveness I give my own. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, safety always comes first, from keeping leashes secure to making sure food, water, and routines are followed. I’m comfortable with brushing, feeding, playtime, and walks, and I take care to notice the little details that help pets feel secure. I also respect your home and your pet’s routines, so you can trust they’ll be cared for exactly the way you prefer.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Forest Ranch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest Ranch is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 332 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest Ranch. 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 Ranch. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
