“Sharon came when she said she'd come and did what she said she'd do. She even modified the schedule slightly to account for daylight savings time change so our dog wouldn't have to wait an extra hour that morning. Very considerate!”
“Tara was great and super helpful when we were away. She made sure to check food and water for our kitties and refilled our auto cat machine when needed Thanks so much!”
“Olivia was great watching our dog, Maggie. She took time to send updates and provides pictures. It really made enjoying our vacation easier - knowing that Maggie was in such good hands!”
About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by pets. My parents took care of dogs all throughout me growing up :) as well as me and my mom were constantly bringing home more (including a pig once😅) all animals are family to me and I take great pride in providing exceptional care to other peoples furbabies when they need me :) I currently have one dog and three cats who I love so dearly. I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am very flexible and can 99% of the time make things work to fit your pets needs!! Happy to be of service to you☺️ I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am enrolled in college and when classes are active I have a 1 hour long class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I spend most of my time cuddled up with my pets (and yours if there here ☺️) or im running around with my dog to burn off some of his energy😆 my schedule is very flexible and pet care will always fit into my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and gates throughout my home to separate areas where the dogs should not be or could get hurt. I do regular potty breaks every hour but if this needs to be adjusted due to your pets needs I can do that! I do morning and night feedings for my dog and cats but I can manage feeding your pet on their schedule as well :)
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter who genuinely loves animals. I work remotely so I am flexible when it comes to scheduling! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for! 🐾❤️ I work remote, so it will be easy for me to look after pets, give them plenty of company and love at home, and take them on walks! I care for pets as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. In the pet’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintaining their usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know they’re doing well! 🐾
“McKenna was great she really helped us out when we needed someone at the last minute. Our dog was well taken care of and she was right on time. Even when plans changed on our end it was no problem and she was very understanding. Will definitely use McKenna again.”
“I am extremely happy with Lexi watching my Belgian Malinois. I did not know Lexi prior to booking her for 3 drop in visits/day for 13 days. Considering being in Europe and so far away, I was very nervous leaving Taz for so long in the care of a stranger. I now know Lexi was the right person to take care of Taz and will request her service in the future. Lexi sent photos with every visit. She went above and beyond IMO. She gave Taz his meds, she brushed Taz, she contacted me and sent photos when he got a hot spot. I asked her to use the anti itch/ fungal spray I have and put a cone/collar on him to help prevent further irritation. She even brought my garbage can in and did a special mail check for me. Great communication, well cared for pet, flexible in booking my vacation days, reliable. Overall, highly recommend, will use again. Thank you Lexi for taking such fantastic care of Taz!”
“⭐Ketan was wonderful with my dog Bailey! Even on short notice due to a family emergency, Ketan was available to do a meet & greet with Bailey and I before I left town, which really put me at ease. Ketan was excellent about providing regular updates, photos of Bailey, and clarifying details about Bailey's care that I overlooked in my haste. I absolutely recommend Ketan - 10/10 ⭐”
“We have 2 6-month-old kittens, and this is the first time we have left them alone. This was also our first time using Rover, and we were very nervous as we would be 5 hours away if something went wrong. Marissa met us prior to our trip to meet Stormy and Shadow. The process could not have gone any smoother. Marissa arrived as scheduled daily and we received reassuring photos which allowed us to enjoy our time away. We would definitely use Rover/Marissa in the future.”
About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, rodents, ferrets, and large livestock. I’ve worked with everything from small pets to high-drive working dogs and large animals like horses and goats. Professionally, I’ve worked as a dog behaviorist and trainer, managing playgroups, training dogs of all temperaments, and safely handling high-energy or reactive dogs. I’m confident in my ability to read body language, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, structured environment. I have experience training puppies, working with senior dogs, and administering medications. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and know how to respond quickly if something seems off. I also currently work as an Equine Specialist, where I assist with horse care, training, and overall health, including exposure to veterinary care practices. What sets me apart is my ability to handle a wide variety of animals and situations with confidence, patience, and strong awareness of safety and behavior. My schedule is very flexible. I currently work part-time, which allows me to adjust my availability easily around pet care. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend needs, and I’m reliable for both consistent routines and last-minute bookings. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and specific needs to provide the best care possible. In my home, I offer a safe and structured environment with access to a yard, long lines for safe outdoor time, and nearby areas for both private and public walks, including lake and town settings. I use appropriate, safe equipment such as harnesses, gentle leaders, and martingale collars when needed to ensure control and comfort. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always prioritize calm, controlled, and positive interactions.
About: Decades of working as a Project Manager in an agency while raising 2 boys and several dogs means I know the importance of organization and reliability. I understand the value of keeping to a set schedule and bringing order to chaos. I have knowledge of different dog breeds and their unique needs allowing me to handle a variety of temperaments and energy levels. (Did I mention that all of our dogs have been some kind of Terrier or rescue which equals unknown baggage, crazy, energetic and FUN) After 30+ years, I ditched the agency rigor in search of joy and fulfillment. Now I am available for walks and wags most days. I can offer versatile walking, feeding and play times, including last-minute bookings with evening and weekend availability to accommodate busy doggo moms and dads. I prefer to hang with your babies in their own environment versus bringing them to mine. I always assume it's more comforting for them to be at home with their beds, blankies, toys and stuffies. Crate or couch, whichever works for your family, works for me. You can be assured that I will provide status updates (you can take the girl out of project management ...) and photos of your pets so you can take comfort in knowing that they are being well cared for.
“My cats were in good hands with Brandon! He was punctual, checked in to make sure he was following their dinner routine as closely as possible, and sent plenty of pictures when I was missing my furbabies on vacation.”
“Maggie was great! She took care of my kitty Sadie so well! I was not worried about my cat at all while I was on vacation. She also sent me photos of my cat every time she had her visit.”
“paulina did an amazing job watching our kitty cat (spooky) while we were away! she was very detailed-oriented, sent thorough updates, adorable photos, and had excellent communication. when we met at the meet and greet, spooky walked right up to her! when we got back from our trip, our cat seemed super happy and well-cared for. it definitely seems like spooky has made a new friend :). we are very thankful for paulina keeping our baby happy, healthy, and entertained while we were away!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
Alyeska did a fantastic job caring for my cat, Luca. She was very responsive from the very first moment that I reached out to her on Rover until the day of her last visit. She was reliable and provided photo updates and detailed check-ins with each visit. I knew that my cat was well cared for by Alyeska while I was away. She's dependable and caring and I will not hesitate to reach out to Alyeska again to care for my cat while I'm away. Thank you Alyeska for being so wonderful!!
Amanda helped with my 3 pups for an extended period, much longer than anticipated. She took over in an emergency and was so reliable and great with my dogs, and kind enough to accommodate us for an extended sit, that we asked for her services with no hesitation. And that can be tricky when you're not able to explain the care in person. We communicated via texts and phone on regular basis and she went above and beyond to fulfill my dogs' needs and care. And my pups took to her very quickly. Leaving home for quite a bit may be worrisome but she took charge of the house care as well as if it was her own space. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants a piece of mind while away and great care for their furry family members. Thank you from all of us!
Erin went above and beyond with my pets when I was in the hospital. She walked my dog every day, sent pictures of my cat and dog, and she even vacuumed my house and took out my trash. She checked up on me when I got out of the hospital. I would definitely hire her again.
Kim is so wonderful! She is great with both of my dogs (even though one is super anxious). She let me know that poor Smokey was having diarrhea and that he had gone in his kennel during one of their visits. She was so great about cleaning up after him and keeping me updated. She also takes the best pictures of my active puppy 🤩 Highly recommend Kim for your pet sitting needs!
McKenna did a wonderful job taking care of our older dog. Her feed back was great and much appreciated. She followed our instructions and listened to our concerns. We appreciate her prompt response since it was on late notice. Highly recommend her and will rebook with her.
Our senior cats, Boots and Bella, did amazingly well with Carol. They took to her immediately which is not always the case with cats, and they were happy to stay in their own home with visits from Carol while we were away. Carol paid close attention to their senior details, gave them love and attention during each visit, and I could tell they were comfortable and not stressed when we arrived home. We will definitely book Carol again!
Cindy is wonderful! She was great with our cats and exceptional with all the details for our older Siamese. She is punctual and communicative, and probably one of the best we’ve found. If you have furbabies that are a little complicated and you worry about finding the right person? Cindy is the one for you.
Keagan was excellent with our two pups Bandit and Lil Man. She did exactly what we asked of her. I loved the photos she took to always assure us the boys were doing well. Would highly recommend her to anyone. Wish we could give her 10 stars. The boys loved her! *We did leave a cash tip*
Lily was a fabulous cat caretaker! Our older one requires a lot, and she came beforehand to ensure she understood how to care for him and to get the layout of the home and requirements. She was communicative and let us know how things went with every visit. We definitely recommend her!
Julia was wonderful to work with. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely caring with Charlie from the moment she met him. During our meet-and-greet, she took the time to learn his routine, asked thoughtful questions, and was attentive to both Charlie’s and Panda’s needs. She also took care of Panda’s litter boxes and was compassionate and understanding while I was going through chemotherapy. Her communication was prompt and professional, and she gave me confidence that my pets would be well cared for. I would happily recommend Julia to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and caring pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forestville is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 5,269 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forestville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
