“So thankful to have had Monica watch my dog for a weekend. Was able to work with me on short notice, very responsive, and provided plenty of pictures and updates during the visit. Will definitely book again! 😊”
“Nicole was wonderful to our pups! This was the first time we’ve left them overnight since adopting them so we were a little nervous at first. But she completely calmed our nerves!! I cannot thank her enough for treats them like they are hers. We will for sure be using her again! Thank you, Nicole!!”
“Carol and her son Avery were hands down the best sitter I’ve come across. Avery completed an in-home sitting with my dog Beau. The love and care he gave truly made me feel safe while I was out of town. I would recommend Carol and Avery to anyone!”
“Elizabeth has stayed the weekend at our house 3 or 4 times to watch our pup Carter and we highly recommend her to anyone! She is very kind, professional, and loving to our dog. It gives us peace of mind knowing Carter is safe and comfortable at our house with Elizabeth. She regularly keeps us updated on how Carter is doing and sends pics. We are grateful that she takes such good care of Carter. Carter is now 11 and requires supplements, special food, and specific exercise instructions and Elizabeth has been terrific at helping us with all of this. We will continue to have her watch Carter when she is available!”
“Dawn was amazing with my dog, Brody! She sent thorough updates every evening and I knew he was in good hands with her! I will definitely be using her again for future bookings!!”
“Awesome caregiver to my two fur babies! So happy to have secured Jaiden to spend three days with Sophie and Penny. Her attention to their needs, time spent with them, and respect for my home are welcomed attributes from her. Enjoy reaching out to her and having her take care of your four-legged children.”
“We will never be able to thank Lori enough. There was a fire in our building and she got both pets, and herself, out safely. Our pets immediately warmed up to her, we received lots of photos throughout the weekend, and I knew without a doubt that our pets were safe and taken care of. We would absolutely book with Lori again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have professional experience working at a veterinary kennel and am trained in proper medication and subcutaneous fluid administration. I also know how to work with anxious, elderly, and disabled pets. I love getting to know each pet’s personal needs and quirks in order to give them the best care possible! I am a recent college graduate and am doing pet sitting full time! This means I will be able to schedule my days around your pet‘s needs. My care includes feeding, walking, continuation of training, and giving pets all the love they deserve! I will be at your house as much as I can to give your pet the best experience. I am willing to help pets that need assistance getting around the house or that have other special needs. Overall, I want to create as safe, comforting, and loving of a space as possible for your pets while you’re away.
“Barrett was great. We normally board our dogs, so we were a little nervous at first doing something different, but Barrett put our nerves at ease. He went above and beyond and spoiled our dogs while we were gone. They were well taken care of. We highly recommend him.”
“This was our first time using Rover as well as an in home dog sitter. Our dogs have a hard time staying at boarding facilities so we wanted to find a more comfortable solution for them. I can’t thank Taylor enough for taking care of our girls and allowing them to keep their usual routine while we were away. I appreciated the check ins and photo updates so much! Taylor is kind, professional, & compassionate. All things any pet owner would hope for in their sitter.”
“Ellie, Lucy, and Wiggie were very well cared for! We received updates and photos to keep us well informed and to show us the girls were happy. The house was clean when we got home and fresh sheets were already on the bed! That makes a big difference to me that I don’t have to come home and immediately start working! Brandi and John were a bit more expensive than some other sitters, charging for each pet! But peace of mind that your babies are being taken care of, is well worth it!! Thank you so much!!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay with our three dogs over the weekend. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout the weekend, letting us know how each of them was doing. It made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. You can tell Amy genuinely loves animals, and our dogs were clearly comfortable with her. We’ll absolutely be asking her to stay with them again and I know they’ll be excited to see her soon!”
About: I've looked after cats and dogs since I was 13. Growing up, neighbors, friends and family would trust me with dog walking, house sitting and checking in on pets. I am fairly active, and strong enough to handle larger dogs. I currently live in an apartment, but the complex has multiple dog parks and a nearby trail for walking. I'm new to the area, and currently looking for a full time job, so I have a fair amount of time to look after your pet. I live in an apartment with my cat Lenny, with enough rooms to separate pets if needed. The apartment complex has multiple dog parks and access to a nearby trail for walks.

I have experience with many breeds, sizes, and ages! I am comfortable with providing medications and custom care. My goal is to keep consistent with each animals routine for optimal comfort while owners are away. I am very active and love to play with dogs outdoors, go on walks, etc. I am unable to keep dogs in my home due to household members allergies. My schedule is flexible!

When I’m caring for your cat or dog in your home, my goal is to make everything feel just as it would if you were there—familiar, comforting, and full of love. I take the time to get to know your pet’s rhythm—their favorite spots to nap, how they like to play, when they like to eat, and even the little quirks that make them unique. I keep your home tidy, your routine consistent, and your pet safe, relaxed, and entertained. I’ll also send updates so you can travel or be away worry-free, knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. Your pet won’t just be watched over—they’ll be looked after with heart, joy, and a whole lot of love. 💛🐾

I know how important it is for your fur babies to be taken care of well when you are gone and desire to take care of them with excellence! Currently just graduated from PT school and have lots of free time before getting a job while studying for my board exam! Currently back home for the next few months and would love to fill my time with some good pet breaks during the study session! I have had a lot of experience with babysitting in other people’s home. My mom taught me to leave places better than you found it, and that’s exactly how I would treat your home!
About: I’ve been regularly dog and cat sitting for the past five years, providing drop-in visits and overnight care. I grew up with rabbits and guinea pigs, so I’m also comfortable caring for small animals. Since my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own right now, I love getting the opportunity to give your pet(s) lots of love. I’m reliable when it comes to feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and keeping you updated while you’re away! I’m very flexible with my availability. I’ll also be in town over the holidays and would love to help care for your pet(s)!

If I have questions or notice anything out of the ordinary, I communicate quickly to give you peace of mind. I’m also happy to help out with watering plants, bringing in the mail, or light housekeeping while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies for over 5 years and grew up helping take care of puppies from a young age. Being around animals my whole life has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
We had such a great experience with Monica! She took wonderful care of Zeke and Zara and kept us updated with regular checkins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Whenever she was unsure about something, she asked thoughtful questions and it was clear she really cared about getting everything right and giving our pets the best care possible. We’re so grateful for her attention and care and have already booked with her again!
Sarah was awesome, so easy to communicate with and professional. She sent pictures of our girls and kept us updated regularly. She kept the girls happy with lots of love and couch time. Let them outside often even took a walk w/a special treat involved. She kept everything clean and orderly. We will definitely be reaching out for our future needs
Lindsay was an absolute delight! It seems like my dogs LOVED her. I received pictures and even videos everyday. She kept me well informed with everything and she even took everything in stride being I had a battery go dead in smoke detector while I was gone and started going off. Also, my area apparently lost power while I was gone as well. I will definitely bring using her again. I even think my dogs miss her.
Sylvia did an incredible job caring for our fur babies! They were obviously well-cared for during our time away. She kept us informed about how they were doing and sent photos. We had some unexpected issues with our cable while we were gone, and she arranged to have it serviced so it would be working upon our return. If your babies need attention, love and care during your absence, we recommend Sylvia!
Kim is a great sitter. She jumped in to cover for someone and was very independent and efficient. Communication was a breeze and most importantly, my 3 furry faces were super happy with her care. We would love to have her again and could not recommend her more to anyone seeking peace of mind. Thank you!
Ellie, Lucy, and Wiggie were very well cared for! We received updates and photos to keep us well informed and to show us the girls were happy. The house was clean when we got home and fresh sheets were already on the bed! That makes a big difference to me that I don’t have to come home and immediately start working! Brandi and John were a bit more expensive than some other sitters, charging for each pet! But peace of mind that your babies are being taken care of, is well worth it!! Thank you so much!!
Barrett was great. We normally board our dogs, so we were a little nervous at first doing something different, but Barrett put our nerves at ease. He went above and beyond and spoiled our dogs while we were gone. They were well taken care of. We highly recommend him.
Jaiden did a great job watching all four of our animals on our honeymoon! From our meet and great, to going above and beyond with a few extra asks we had while we were away, Jaiden was very accommodating and communicative. Her love for animals is clear. Thanks again, Jaiden!!
Blair was so amazing with my dogs! She treated them like they were her own. She even let me pomsky play with her dogs to get some more energy out. Im pretty positive my dogs got longer walks than they usually do when we take them lol. She's definitely going to be my go to any time we go out of town in the future and need a dog sitter. She's been so professional and patient with us and I love how she interacted with not just our dogs but us as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Forestville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,927 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forestville. 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 Forestville 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 Forestville 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 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!
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.
