About: I grew up around animals. I had cats in my house throughout my childhood. I got my first dog when I was 12. I have cared for dogs for over 24 years ever since. I have experience with dogs with mobility issues, dogs with aggressive behaviors, and rescues. I have handled dogs of all sizes. I am currently in school. I am enrolled in an online program. I am available to do visits and dog (or cat) sitting throughout the week, outside of my live classes that vary each semester. I will give your pet as much attention as possible. I will follow your instructions (e.g., only giving treats as directed, feeding at specified times, crating animals, keeping animals off furniture, etc.). If your yard is fenced in, I can take your dog outside to play or just sit, whatever your dog's preferences are.
About: I love to walk, but it's more fun with a dog in tow! I grew up with dogs, but I started boarding, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends and coworkers in college and I loved helping owners care for their pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs with medical needs, large breeds with higher exercise needs, and puppies. I have experience walking dogs that are aggressive towards other pets as well. If your pet needs more exercise than your busy schedule allows, I'm your girl! Just reach out and let's get your pup walked! I work as a seasonal biologist and I'm looking to take on some pet care during the off-season. I'm very flexible at the moment and can work around your busy schedule! You can rest assured I will care for your pet like they are my own! I feel passionately about letting dogs enjoy their walks, i.e. letting them sniff! No dragging along here. I am happy to cater to your pet's needs, whether they are dietary or behavioral. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time.

About: I have cared for pets since I was 14 years old I would look after my family dog and my neighbors cats. I love dogsitting and going on adventures with furry friends :) I am currently working full time but have the evenings after 4pm and weekends to look after your pet. I have my own dog who I take on long walks twice a day. I have a fenced in backyard and a lovely dog named Beau who loves making new friends. I can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. We go on long walks in the mornings and evenings.
“Carolyne was able to help me out with a last minute sit and took great care of my dog. Will use her again and greatly appreciate her. Smokey is looking forward to hanging out with her again in the future.”


About: Back on Rover after a two year hiatus! I currently live with my mother at her house in Cotuit. My house is located in a very safe family oriented neighborhood. I currently have one amazing dog named Smoki (Texas Cattle Dog) who has never met a dog he didnt like! He loves dogs of all sizes and is extremely well tempered. Several parks, trails are nearby and sidewalks line every street. Virtually my entire life growing up I was surrounded by animals (dogs,cats,fish etc) in my house and learned to love and properly take of animals at a young age. My current house is very pet friendly so i would love to take care of your dog/dogs while your away. We have tons of toys, leashes or whatever else you may have forgot to pack. I work from home on the computer doing apprasial work/school so my schedule allows me incredible flexibility. Anything from a Chihuahua to a St. Bernard would be a joy to spend time with. I have experience with almost every size/age of dog so no need to worry! I pay EXTRA attention to detail and have a lot of experience with special care for dogs (oral medicine,special diet,blindness, etc.). Iam up everyday at 6am to run so feel free to contact me at any time. My days revolve around my children or to some people dogs. I spent ten years out in Portland, Oregon and amassed a ton of experience with dogs over that time working for Rover. I would like to bring that experience to the Cape! I’m currently working from home so my schedule is as flexible as it gets. My schedule revolves around exercise and my dog so I’m always up early (6am) and always active. Expect your fur baby to be treated as a member of the family. Be it my home or yours I pride myself in going the extra mile. Everything from toys and treats are in abundance. Expect constant supervision and constant photo updates. My house is extremely safe and pet friendly. I have everything you could ever need to take care of a dog or cat!:)
About: I love all kinds of pets and am local to cape cod. I am an engineer in Falmouth and would love to watch your pets while you are away. I have had dogs for 15 years and have watched cats for weeks at a time. I work in falmouth so I can come home on lunch breaks and stay full time other than that. I normally walk dogs in the morning before work and on lunch breaks, then take them to the park after work. I will work with pet parents to come up with a plan that works for each pet! I have a big house and a nice big yard. I live near a big field and the beach they can go to as long as its not the high tourist season.
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.

“Emily took great care of our two (very large) dogs! She also sent pictures of our cat, brought in packages, and was a big help filling in last minute when another sitter canceled. Would definitely rebook!”

I’m very clean/organized and will be respectful of your home and belongings should you need me to stop by your home to watch your pup
“Yassy house sat for my dog and two cats for over a week and a half while I was out of the country. She was excellent at keeping a consistent schedule and was quick to ask questions when something wasn't clear. Feedback I would offer her is to send more frequent updates / pictures versus me having to check in, but all in all it was a pleasure. Definitely set my mind at rest with my fur babies.”

“Cassidy stayed in our home with our golden retriever, Corbin, for 9 days and she was amazing! Corbin loved her and she was always prompt, respectful, and responsive. We will absolutely be contacting her again for our next vacation!”
“Olivia was very accommodating for a last minute dog sitting request and did two meet and greets leading up to it because my dog can be nervous around new people. They clicked well immediately and it was a huge relief to leave Sadie in great hands. Sadie had a blast with Olivia and I will definitely have Olivia watch Sadie in the future!”

As of October 2026, there are 540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forestdale. 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 Forestdale 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 Forestdale 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
