“Jenna was an awesome rover pet sitter for our two cats and turtle. She came at regular times and was always sure to send pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her as your next pet sitter.”
“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!!”
“Jared was great. When I first reached out, he got back to me through Rover within a couple of hours. We spoke the next day and set up a meet and great so we could meet him and he could meet the pups. He brought his filfriend Tanya, as she may be helping which I appreciated. We were away for 2 nights and parts of 3 days. When the dogs met him they warmed up very quickly to both he and Tanya, so it was set. We left some written instructions to reinforce what we had discussed and Jared was great. Through the app, he would check in when he was coming and their with our pups. We were going through a heat wave with high humidity and he let me know the conditions in the house, we left the AC on. And I had him adjust, so the dogs were comfortable. Overall, great experience and great job. I will use Jared again when the need arises. Thanks.”

About: Hi, my name is Taylor. I’m a 23 year old nurse who works evenings at a rehab unit. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have a 6 month old very friendly, gentle and kind German Shepherd who I have trained on my own. Since I have most mornings off, I thought I could use my free time playing with other dogs, feeding, walking or as desired. Will runwith dogs if they enjoy jogging. Love grooming animals. Also if wanted more puppy/dog interactions, my Shepherd could go for walks as well or play in the yard for socialization or energy exertion. I am good with all dogs, all shapes and sizes and I’m strong for my size so bring on the big dogs who like to pull or jump. Excited to meet you and your furry friends!
“Emma is fantastic! On very short notice, Emma agreed to do drop in visits with my two Golden’s in the very early morning and at night. The pups look so happy to see her in every picture on their report card. Thank you Emma!”
“Danielle was great! She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and met my cat Reggie. She was punctual and thorough. She took pictures so I'd know my little fella was alright. I will certainly hire her again in the future!”

“I have 2 large very energetic dogs ! Julia was very comfortable with them when she first met them. Dogs are very intuitive and they loved her. We returned from a 3 day trip to 2 very happy dogs. Julia sent several photos at each drop in visit which we truly appreciated.”
“Cecilia was great! She was reliable, responsive and gave me daily updates, including pictures. My cat seemed to enjoy her visits and was relaxed and happy when we got home. We will definitely request her again.”

About: I’ve had dog(s) since before I was born and I try to make sure that they receive adequate back rubs, treats, and outfits in addition to their basic care. As a kid I watched many neighbors dogs while they were on vacation and I am always the first one to fill a food or water bowl At this time I have a wide range of availability to care for dogs in my schedule. I am open to different care options to best meet the dog’s needs I have a fenced in area where my three dogs are able to let themselves in and out via doggy door. They can have as much food as they want as they are feeder fed.

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.

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.
