About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had a golden growing up for 15 years and now have a dog of my own! I love going on long walks with dogs who need it, playing fetch, and giving lots of scritches and love! No dog is too small or too big for me. Happy to accommodate anything your pet needs! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work in VA and living MD so I’m really all over the map. I would prefer any time after 3 but can also come in the mornings with enough heads up. I do not have a fenced in back yard but do have a nice trail to walk on and get some energy out. I also have a lead in the backyard to keep the dogs safe and not escape if they would like to roam freely. My coonhound has been just fine with the set up! I also have a crate if preferred. My dog is friendly with others and loves other dogs!

Romon was the best sitter for our 3 boys. We needed a sitter at the last minute and he was so accommodating stopping by our house to make sure they were ok. We will def rebook with Romon in the future!

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience raising two pit bulls from puppyhood into adulthood. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and I always make safety and positive interactions a priority. I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets. My schedule is pretty open and can work during the week or weekends. When caring for pets in a client's home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention.

About: Being one who never lived without a pet, I can't imagine life without one! Growing up with big dogs, to turtles, to cats... it's a type of love and care your little one also deserves. I'm currently a full-time RN! My schedule is not linear, changes weekly. With that, schedules are done about a month in advance. Crazy? Ik lol I adjust to the needs of the animals and the rules of the owner! I What you desire, is what matters. As long as it's done properly, professionally, and with love!

Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.

Rita is my go-to cat person— this is the second time I have had a health emergency and she has taken care of my three cats in my absence. She cares about them and goes the extra mile to reassure me about the cats. She provides pictures and communication that lets me know my cats are in good hands. And she’s just agreed to another week— I’ve unexpectedly been delayed. Thanks Rita— I’m lucky to have found Rita and Rover.com.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my English Bulldog, who I’ve helped raise since 2020, so I understand the daily care and attention dogs need. I’m also very familiar with cats, thanks to helping with my cousin’s cat, so I feel confident caring for both cats and dogs. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available after 1 p.m. on Monday - Friday. I’m usually free on Sundays as well. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. You can trust me to be responsible, reliable, and to keep your pets safe and happy while you’re away.

Jayla has a very nice vibe about her. She followed my instructions and was always on time. I was out of the country for a week and I didn’t worry about my little kitty once. I plan to call on Jayla every time I’m away in the future. She’s EXCELLENT. I highly recommend her.

Naomi was great with our fur babies. Although we were only gone for a weekend, in that short period of time she was able to bond with our girls and they felt right at home with her. Naomi is personable and professional, she was prompt and our fur babies didn't stress out because we were gone, as they've done before in the past. I highly recommend Naomi and we will definitely utilize her services in the future.

About: I have had dogs and cats since a very young age, caring for them has been something that has been my passion for a while now. I love meeting and playing with new dogs and so does my dog (: ! I have raised dogs all the way until they were very old so senior care is not an issue. Me and my dog love to go on long walks and explore different areas in my neighborhood! I have a fenced backyard that my dog has access to at all times as well (: ! I work remotely most of the week so I will be there all day with the animals making sure they can get plenty of exercise I have a fenced yard that is easily and always accessible and plenty of room for a crate if that is what you use for your dog

About: I grew up in a small village which gave me the opportunity to take care of all types of animals including horses, birds, dogs, and cats. I have had my dog Gucci for 11 years now ( he lives with my family overseas) and was taking care of 2 very adorable stray dogs Rex ,Angel ,and a cat named olive. Angel can’t see in one eye so he needed all the help he could get. After taking care of them for about a year I decided to find them their forever homes. Rex, olive ,and angel were adopted by two warm and loving homes. Before leaving them I made sure that they were given proper care and the attention they need. I’m a college student and I take some of my classes online. I spend most of my time at home studying. Taking care of a pet will fit right into my schedule. I have a big backyard that is fenced with space for dogs to run around. I don’t leave pets outside unattended. Inside the house I like dogs to be as comfortable as possible and to roam around freely.

About: I’ve taken care of pets personally since 2014 when I had my blue nose pitt! I love all animals and am excited to see what furry friends I make! I’m currently a junior in college, so I’m mostly available for breaks, holidays, and the summer! My availability is more flexible on weekends than weekdays and willing to watch and tend to your paw-some pet overnight in the home! I love having fun and making every furry friend feel comfortable and loved, from baths to letting out the zoomies! My favorite things to do are going on long walks, cuddles, and running around outside together!

We absolutely love our Bessie! We’ve used her several times now and she is always wonderful. She’s incredibly sweet, reliable, flexible, and so easy to work with. Most importantly, we feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is in good hands with her, which honestly makes all the difference when we’re away. She’s great about keeping us updated, takes such good care of him, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. It’s such a relief having someone we trust and don’t have to worry about when we leave him behind. We’re so grateful we found her and will absolutely continue using her anytime we need someone to take care of our pup. Highly recommend her!

Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Forestville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Forestville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 15,672 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Forestville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Forestville 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 Forestville 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 Forestville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forestville. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
