“Lara is the best! She spent 6 nights with our one year old dog who is in peak adolescence, and not always easy to watch. Lara also very kindly managed our dog and helped out when repair people came into the house. On top of it all, we came home to a clean house!”
“Aiyana did a wonderful job taking care of a full house of animals (3 dogs & a cat) for 6 days. She followed care instructions and left our home tidy. We definitely recommend her services”
“Rachel has such a calming energy which was perfect for our pups who get a little anxious while we are away. Was great to have piece of mind knowing she was there while I was away for the full day. Appreciated the updates and picts as well. Thank you!!”
“Heather was amazing. She was able to care for our difficult older cat like a pro. Our cat required two medications twice a day, including an injection, and our cat doesn't do well with stranger but she did great with Heather. Heather let us know everytime when she completed the shot which really put our minds at ease. We ended up book her again for two more trips these coming months.”
“We came in from out of town for a concert. Sydney was great with our girl Lola. He was also very accommodating and flexible with his time. I’d definitely choose Sydney again when we’re back up this way.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs extra patience and support, or anything in between, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to treat every animal with the same love and attention as my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a wide variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. Because I have open availability, I can provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and consistent care rather than rushing between commitments. I’m committed to being dependable, responsive, and making sure your pet receives the time and care they deserve while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I believe the best care starts with earning their trust. I’ll always move at your pet’s pace, respecting their personality, comfort level, and routine while creating a calm, positive environment. Their safety is my highest priority, so I’ll remain attentive on walks, during playtime, and throughout every visit, keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or anxious, I’ll provide patient, thoughtful care that helps them feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Stephanie was great with our rescue, Molly. We had never left her before and were very nervous about it. Molly warmed up to her quickly and Stephanie was great with her. I would highly recommend her to care for any of your furry family members!!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Jaime! She watched our fur baby Loki for a couple of nights and did an amazing job. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Loki absolutely loved her, and it was clear she treated him like one of her own. We’ll definitely be booking with Jaime again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💛”
“Dana was an amazing house/dog/cat sitter and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She had to deal with our very high energy puppy, anxious small dog and elusive cat and she did a wonderful job with all three. It was also such a relief to come home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it!”
“Amelia was great! She was so sweet with our two cats and kept us updated the whole time, including photos. She took their complicated meal schedules in stride and kept them safe, happy, and fed during her 3 night stay. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for our future cat sitting needs!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud pet parent to two cats. I’ve also had hands-on experience boarding and caring for dogs. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether they’re playful and energetic, affectionate and cuddly, or a little shy at first. I pay close attention to their body language, comfort, and daily routines so they can feel safe and relaxed in a new environment. I especially enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, playtime, and simply keeping them company. I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own. I prefer caring for one guest dog at a time so I can give them plenty of individual attention. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout their dog’s stay! My partner and I have flexible work schedules, so we can coordinate to make sure at least one of us is home throughout your dog’s stay! This allows us to provide plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I love spending time with dogs and am happy to adjust my routine around their individual needs, whether that means extra outdoor adventures, more playtime, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. I live in a cozy three-story townhouse in Sunnyvale with a small, fully fenced private backyard, perfect for supervised potty breaks and some fresh air. I also love taking dogs on walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment! I share my home with two cats, so I only accept dogs with a proven history of being calm and safe around cats. I always recommend a meet-and-greet before booking to make sure everyone is comfortable. My home has separate areas where pets can enjoy their own space. I take introductions slowly and carefully, and never leave guest dogs and cats together unsupervised. I follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands!
“Monty took absolute EXCELLENT care of our retired greyhound. Monty has great attention to detail, is caring and compassionate towards our big boi and I truly appreciated the pro-active communication and photo updates while we were out of state.”
About: I have expirience with animals of all ages and sizes, including farm animals, cage animals, and of course tons of experience with dogs and cats! I was raised with 3 dogs/3 cats/and other farm animals of my own, so I am equipped to care for a “furry family” of any size. I have excellent communication skills and am dedicated to following your pets daily/nightly routine. Lots of expirience with house sitting and making sure all animals are happy and healthy! Expirience with administering medication and bathing of pets :) I am a hard worker and very reliable, especially when it comes to caring for someone elses home or pets. Once booked, I can assure that I will be dedicated to keeping your animals as my number one priority. My schedule is fairly open so I can commit to 24hr stays or overnight stays :) My home has a fence around the whole property which allows for my pups to have access to both inside and outside as they please. I am comfortable with both indoor and outdoor pet environments, I can accommodate to any routine that is right for your pets.
“Mia did a great job watching our 3 girls and taking care of our home. She was friendly, responsive, and sent pictures while we were away. When we returned home our girls were happy and our house was clean. We would definitely use Mia in the future.”
“Amadita was AMAZING with our Bouzy! Incredibly accommodating and playful with her while we were away. It’s great to have a reliable sitter - will definitely book with Amadita again 😊😊”
About: A lifelong love for animals has lead me to professionally working in Veterinary medical centers and Shelters. I am an Adoptions Counselor for the San Diego Humane Society. I am Fear Free Certified, trained in proper husbandry and handling for a range of species, and educate new owners on such. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday through Sunday mornings and evenings for drops ins and walks. With overnights I am flexible as long as communication and time permit. I adore taking pets on walks or out to play! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I prefer to pet sit in an animal’s own environment for their same. It is already stressful to be away from their family and staying in their homes is helpful.
About: With over 20 years of experience, I am a great fit for all dogs - young, old, special needs, energetic or sunbathers! I started at a doggy daycare and moved quickly into slumber parties (where I took them home with me) and house sitting. I do have some frequent clients already and am looking to help even more families. I love taking care of your pets while you are away so you can peace of mind while away from home. I am currently working full-time within Sunnyvale, so if extra care is needed throughout the day M-F, lets chat and see how I can give your pets everything they require. Weekends I am free to be able to be with your pet as much (or as little) as is needed to keep them happy. If looking for walking or play time only, being within a 15-30 minute drive from Sunnyvale M-F or after 4pm will work best. I unfortunately cannot have pets in my own home, so can only provide in-home care at your residence. I would love to visit prior to my stay so I can meet your pet and you can show me where everything is located, the places you frequent if going on walks or finding playdates and how you have everything secured to ensure your pet gets the safest of care!
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
“So grateful we found Sophia -- she is excellent! We were nervous about finding someone to stay in our home for a week that not only we could trust, but that our sweet, but anxious and stranger-averse, rescue dog would let past her tough shell and get along with. I was stunned when our dog almost immediately warmed up to Sophia during our meet and greet (that never happens), and not only did she get along with Sophia, she clearly bonded with her and missed her after we returned from our trip. Sophia took great care of our home, treated our pup with so much love, provided much appreciated updates with photos and videos, communicated proactively and timely, took our dog on multiple walks a day (even though it rained most days, she bought a doggy raincoat!), and was gracious and flexible about trip date adjustments and meet/greet times. Can't say enough positive things about Sophia -- would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Springs
Angelika deserves a 10+ star rating. She communicated with me throughout our 2 week vacation very frequently with fun photos of our 2 furries. Wonderful experience we felt like our dogs were getting their own vacation. The house was left spotless and couldn’t be happier with how things were when we returned.
Lara is one of the most kind, gentle, thorough and caring souls I’ve ever met… we deeply entrust her with our two 15 pound cats , both knowing they’ll get the thorough care and attentiveness they need, that it will be clean and deep cuddles and love will happen. So grateful for her integrity and respect. With deep care, us
Aiyana was amazing with our pup when we needed someone to watch her at our hotel for 7 hours while we were at a wedding. She kept us updated and clearly had so much love for Roxy and animals in general. I also appreciated her quick communication, flexibility and friendliness:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Forest Springs is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $38 per night. 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.

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 Springs 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 Springs 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 Springs 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Springs. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
