“Loved her! Very friendly and from the pictures she sent, my doggies had an amazing time. Even checked in on my cat and gave some snuggles. Will definitely rebook in the future <3”
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
“Alyssa has gone above and beyond! She went out of her way to sit for us at the last minute. She has a great way with animals and takes such great care of them! Great communication, she sends pictures and updates and gives great peace of mind. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Craig was a blessing. He communicated with me the whole time we were gone. Also sent me pictures to Reassure me that are doggie was doing fine. I always worry when we can’t take our dog with us, but by day 2, I was at peace knowing she was in great hands. I am in the process of booking our next dog sitting with Craig. Also he stayed at our house and everything looked great when we came home.”
“Emily was WONDERFUL with Maddy and Nyjah. She went the extra mile to give them a lot of love and attention and put me at ease. She followed the directions I left and was so communicative with lots of updates. It was so nice to enjoy my trip knowing my babies were well taken care of.”
“Tori did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. They were immediately comfortable with her. She kept in touch and sent pictures. And she was respectful of the house and left it in great condition. Thank you Tori! We would highly recommend her.”
“Very happy with Stephanie's service! We will definitely ask for her again. My doggo is very tired and happy after a long weekend with her staying with him, and the house looks great! Thank you Stephanie, much appreciated.”
“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“Mikaela was great with our dogs! We have a hard time leaving them in anyone’s care but she made us feel comfortable from our first encounter. While we were away, she updated us on how they were doing, which was important to us! She made sure they were happy and tired! Most importantly, we trusted her. We will definitely use Mikaela again in the future.”
About: Hi, everyone! My name is Lauren and I'm originally from Baton Rouge; I’ve been in the Myrtle Beach area for about a year and a half. I have a 12-year old senior dog with a history of seizures and thyroid disease. As such, I am intimately aware of what it is like to worry about your dog’s well being and will provide your pets with the same love and care that I would provide to mine. I also now have history administering a couple types of medications, including pills, tablets that must dissolve in liquid, and liquid medication. I of course love dogs who are young, old, or anywhere in between, and enjoy getting out there and exercising with them as it keeps me healthy too! Let me know your pet’s schedule, quirks, and any other needs, and I will happily keep them on schedule while sending lots of pictures! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can often work your pet’s needs around mine. I am particularly flexible around holiday breaks. Please let me know what you need and I will let you know if I can accommodate that. I am happy to watch your pets in your home. I can do drop ins, walks, or over night stays (tell me what you prefer!) and will make sure to spend a lot of time with your pets!
“Brooke is AMAZING!!! She is literally like having a family member watch our pups. She is so diligent about sending updates and pics, and just has the most genuine, caring way about her. My wife and I were away for a week and it was so comforting to have someone like Brooke to care for our fur babies and our home. We feel so blessed to have found her through Rover!”
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they are my own. What sets me apart is the attention and care I bring to each visit. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience so your pet feels comfortable even when you are away. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and personality because every animal is different. You can expect reliable communication, consistent updates, and someone who truly cares about your pet’s happiness and safety. Whether it is walks, drop ins, or extra cuddles, my goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a fun, stress free experience. I structure my daily routine to provide dependable morning, evening, and weekend availability so pets receive consistent and attentive care. I plan my schedule intentionally and limit bookings so each pet gets personalized attention, calm energy, and a safe experience. My goal is to make pet care fit naturally into my day while keeping communication clear and reliable for every owner. I care for pets in their home by keeping their normal routine as consistent and stress free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions closely so your pet feels safe in their own environment. I focus on patience, positive attention, and creating a calm experience while you are away. You will receive regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is truly one of my favorite things. I’ve owned and cared for 10 dogs of all different breeds, personalities, and ages including labs, a husky, a French bulldog, a basset hound, and several rescue mutts. I’ve helped raise puppies, cared for senior pets, and worked with dogs who needed extra patience and understanding. I have also had cats my entire life, including my current 17 year old cat who I’ve grown up with. I understand that every cat is different and I love getting to know them at their own pace. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve volunteered with my local animal shelter for years. Through volunteering I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive and anxious dogs, and have learned how important patience, consistency, and positive interactions are. I am confident handling energetic dogs, nervous pets, and animals who need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in caring and capable hands. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I make sure to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I currently only work Monday-Thursday so my weekends are completely free for your pets! I can spend as much time or as little time as works best for my client with their pets. If you have a clingy pet that needs someone there with them all day I can do that or if you’re animal prefers some alone time and has a schedule to stick to I can also do that. Really whatever will make you and your pet the most comfortable I am happy to do! Since I am house sitting I can adapt to fit what your pet needs! I can follow a schedule if that’s what your pet needs or I am also comfortable with just going at your pets pace.
“I wish that I could give more than 5 stars!!! Kat was just the best with my 15 week old mini poodle. My poodle has learned a lot from Kat within just a few hours. Amazing!”
“Anita did a wonderful job. Actually my fur baby Bella, choose Anita. She's very pleasant, kind & sweet. Anita stayed overnight in my home, my baby actually slept with Anita, which she's never done with me. She gave me daily updates and photos. I will be using Anita when I go out of town again for sure.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Forestbrook is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forestbrook
I booked Victoria to sit with my son’s 100 pound Mastiff and his 60 pound brother for three days in June of 26 while me and my son were on vacation. I couldn’t of made a better decision than choosing Victoria to sit with them. She showed up on time, was very attentive and kind to the dogs. I highly recommend her and if I could give her more stars I would.
Best in the business. André is a Rover all-star. You're not going to find a better option for your pet/house sitting needs. He communicates constantly so you don't have to probe for updates or pictures. He confirms receipt and understanding pf messages and instructions promptly. He asks questions when needed. He leaves your place in the same if not better condition. He genuinely gets to know and love your pet. Our doodles LOVE "Uncle André". Having someone so buttoned up and caring gives us peace of mind while traveling. That's really what you're looking for on Rover. Highly recommend André!
Just returned from a 4 day holiday weekend after booking Katie last minute and what a blessing she turned out to be. Katie took care of our home and pets as if they were her own. We have one rescue dog with serious past abuse PTSD, a Husky that requires frequent trips outside (both also requiring special meal instructions and/or medication) and a very shy cat and she was an absolute master. Katie navigated a blown HVAC capacitor tech visit and a power outage due to someone driving into a local neighborhood restaurant and she never complained once. If we could leave a 6th star, we absolutely would. What an amazing human.
Emily provided the best care for our pups! She sent us pictures and little updates each day and even printed a holiday picture of them for our own keepsake. Emily is professional, attentive, communicative, and compassionate. She has a clear love for animals that shines! We look forward to having her back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Forestbrook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Forestbrook on Rover is $51.73 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 417 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forestbrook. 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 Forestbrook 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 Forestbrook 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 Forestbrook 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.
