About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life! I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors as well as family since I was 14. I am a total animal lover and look forward to being around them. I’m also a medically focused student for those who may have an elderly dog or one that needs a little extra care or medicine administrations. I’ve also been a house sitter for families and friends in my general area for many years! PLEASE NOTE: I AM LEAVING CAPE COD AUGUST 30TH FOR COLLEGE! I am home from college for the summer. I spent my time at school dogsitting/walking and loved it and wanted to continue on at home! I work Friday-Tuesday days but I am flexible after/before my shifts as well as on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always do my best to give the pet my undivided attention. I enjoy hanging out with the pups, whether they want to pay or just want to cuddle for a bit. I pride myself on being on time with bathroom breaks, meals, and walks to make sure the dogs are getting the best care possible!

“Katie was wonderful. She visited Wally at the requested times. She played with him and definitely spent time keeping him company when we weren't there. And, the texts with pictures were so cute and gave us the peace of mind that Wally was being well cared for. We would use her again when we go away.”
“Mary was so amazing with Louie. She was punctual with arriving, she gave him all the attention he needed, and she was very responsive to messages/easy to get ahold of. We were away in another state and there was full trust that Lou was in hands. Mary treated him like one of her own animals and we would highly recommend her services! Looking forward to using her services again in the future!”
“Julie was great! She was able to work with two mostly untrained dogs (but very sweet!) at a house without a fence. The dogs were happy, tired, and had no accidents in the house. We loved the photos we received along with the updates. I didn't worry at all while we were away. We would definitely recommend!!”

As of current we have 3 dogs, ranging from a 14 pound Jack Russell to a 80 pound German Shepard....and in between we have a 50 pound Husky.

About: I am new to Rover but have been working professionally as a part-time dog walker and pet sitter (cats and dogs) for a top-rate company for the last year and a half. I love it! Additionally, I am the proud owner of two German shepherds and have had shepherds continuously since 2007, including a retired police dog. Our current shepherds, Fritz and Petra, train in obedience, tracking and protection. While I do not offer dog training, you might be interested to know that my own dog is trained daily. I am familiar with English, German, and hand signal commands. Cats: I was brought up with Siamese cats and had a series of Siamese until recently. I also care for cats as a pet sitter. I am well versed in cats’ needs. I work part-time three days per week and have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to take care of your pet. I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am happy to care for your pet(s) on their home turf following your guidelines. Think of me as your surrogate. I focus on safety first. Depending on your needs and requests, I offer on-leash walks in the neighborhood, indoor or outdoor off-leash play (at your fenced in yard with your toys) in all weather, feed your pet, refresh water bowls, scoop litter boxes, and provide relief opportunities. An overnight service includes dinner preparation, exercise, play and TLC.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Forestdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Forestdale 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Forestdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
