“Courtney is a wonderful sitter for our little scaredy cat. She does a fantastic job of making sure our cat is well cared for and comfortable during trips. Thanks again!”
About: I am a mother of 2 so I’m nurturing, very caring & really love dogs! Currently in charge of two dogs & can provide good references if needed. I am currently available part time and can do walks starting at 4pm. I am available 7 days a week can accommodate weekends as well as vacations with advanced notice. I can walk your pup, play w/ him or her, feed the dog & clean up after it if an accident happens. Happy to help however!
About: I have worked at Petsmart before. At Petsmart we are required to know what makes a dog comfortable while at a public place or somewhere other than home. I have watched over puppies 2 and 3 months old for my in laws a couple times now. My parents got a kitten that I helped take care of till I moved out about 10 months later. I own a chinchilla which is an exotic small animal. I’ve had her for a year. I’ve been fascinated by pets since I was a child and always do my research before taking care of an animal. I look forward to being of assistance. I fluctuate between part time and full time. I’m usually free tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. I can schedule the time off if it’s 3 or 4 weeks in advance. I usually work mornings except for mondays, when I work evenings. I can always visit the pup or kitty during break and then spend the rest of the day with them after work. This will most likely be temporary until I can get a solid schedule here or at Home Depot. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. My building is only a few steps away from a dog park inside of the complex. The clubhouse has dog treats and I can provide as well based on age and diet. I will always ask any questions about what you would prefer for your fur baby. I have a chinchilla that stays in a cage as long as your pet is around. She is curious and will not hurt your pet even if they stick a paw in between the bars, which is hard to do anyways. My living room is a large space for any pet. I’m currently working part time, but I’m willing to do weekly stays with 2-3 weeks in advance notice. I also will require meet ups before every service in a public place. This is not going to be required for existing clients. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.
About: I have worked with animals my whole life. I absolutely adore animals, any animals! I use to work with my aunt at the clinic she works at helping her care, feed, water, clean and play with the animals that would board there. I also help her with the animals that she fosters. I do lots of research on animals and learn how to handle them and care for them. I am pretty acknowledged with animals. I know different types of breeds and their behaviors and the care they need. I would be an awesome candidate to care for your animals because I would love and treat them as my own and put their needs above mine, it would be a dream to care for any and all of your animals! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! I am available anytime to help you and your animals! I absolutely love caring for animals and it’s all I want to do! I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I live in an apartment that is fenced in and on the bottom floor so your pet will be very safe! I do home visits as well!
“Erica is amazing!! She works for us weekly. My boyfriend forgot to leave the key out for her and she went the extra mile to wait for our leasing office to give her access to our apartment. She’s very sweet and our animals LOVE her. She gives them enough playtime and potty breaks. I recommend her as sitter or walker.”
About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. My current schedule is from 7am-3pm; with [most] Sundays and Mondays off. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.
About: I am the reason my close friends and family have adopted an animal. I love mine enough to inspire others to partake in the correct care with their own! I have raised my “daughter” Bella over the past 16 years into her healthy senior age and she is still pushing as if she was 5. I am very patient with animals and caring. My days are consecutive and planned as I am a college athlete. It is summer so as of now it is just morning workouts. That’ll shift soon with school starting but there is still time to be spared to these pups! I take your dog's safety seriously and am committed to providing reliable, loving care. With 14 years of experience and a completed background check, you can trust me to treat your dog and home with the utmost respect and attention.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life , I love them to pieces. I keep them active and will do as you’d like for your fur baby! I’ll take them for rides to the park if they love rides and or parks ! I can bathe them if need be! If they stay over night they can sleep in the bed with me. Just like a kid , if you don’t allow something then nor will I !

Wether that be in your home or mine; they will have similar schedules. In my home: the garage is shut before the main door is opened. My yard is fenced and locked and they will never go out alone. I say that so you know your baby will not have the freedom to attempt escape.
About: I am a college student who loves all animals! I am studying biology with the end goal of becoming a veterinarian. I work as a dog groomer and have previous experience working at a vets office. I like to visit the dogs I watch two to three times a day at the owners home as keeping them in an environment they are familiar reduces stress I have found. I also walk them in the mornings and evenings and love to play with them. I personally don't have a dog as I am a college student so when I get to take care of other peoples animals I treat them as if they were my own ❤️ I have a guinea pig named Gracie whom my friends say is the most spoiled guinea pig in the world :) and I am also an avid fish owner currently I have a South American Flowerhorn Cichlid named Oscar The Grouch, Four African Cichlids, a Blood Parrot and a Jack Dempsey. I have 16 year experience pet sitting and babysitting and feel comfortable watching a variety of animals . Why I love dog sitting All my life I have loved all sorts of animals including dogs. I personally don't own a dog as I'm a college student and don't feel it would be fair to them at this time, so I just love on everyone else's. I have alot of animal experience from working at a vets office to being a dog groomer.
About: I regularly help care for my parents’ 6 year old Schnauzer and my sister’s 7 year old dog, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving them lots of attention and affection. Spending time with them has helped me understand every different personalities and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a recent college grad working part-time, so my schedule’s pretty flexible. I’m available a good chunk of the day to take care of cats and dogs. Feeding, walks, litter box or playtime, all of that fits in easily, and since I’m not gone for long stretches, they won’t be alone too much! For drop-ins and walks, I will follow your routine for feeding and care needs including litter box scooping for cats, keep leashes/harnesses secure for dogs, and stay attentive the whole time. I clean up after walks, refresh water and food, and double check doors are locked before I leave. I always send an update with photos afterward :)
“Alina was truly amazing with our cats. She spent time with them and they warmed up to her really quickly! Alina treated them like her own pets and took great care of them and there needs. I will definitely be using her again and again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks, hamsters, bunnies—you name it, I wanted it. 🐾 I currently have a 5-year-old Golden Retriever who is my best friend and is definitely spoiled rotten. She gets daily walks, swims, and plenty of love, so I know how important it is to keep an active pup happy and entertained. I’m very active myself and love spending time outdoors, so I genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks, adventures, and fresh air. I’d love to give your pup the same kind of care, attention, and affection I give my own! I work part-time as a hairstylist and typically spend a few hours at the salon Thursday–Saturday. Outside of those hours, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I also love being active and outdoors, so walks and getting outside with a pup fit naturally into my daily routine! I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home and with your pets. I will always treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: As someone who has grown up around animals and has always been a natural caregiver, I believe that I would be an excellent candidate for caring for your animals.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forney
Kathryn took such great care of our 2 pups! She sent great updates and pictures and gave them lots of love while we were out of town for a couple of nights. She was very friendly and communicative and we felt very at ease trusting our dogs' care with her. Highly recommend!!
Carly was great during the week of drop-in visits. She met the dogs ahead of time and established rapport with them. Carly was very punctual and during the visits she played with the dogs and gave them ample bathroom breaks, along with sending detailed updates and pictures through Rover Cards. I would highly recommend Carly for any pet sitting services!
Amanda did a great job with my fur babies. My dogs have bad separation anxiety and can take awhile to warm up. She was so patient and took the time to let them come to her. You could see in the picture updates my doggies growing more relaxed each day. I will definitely be using her again for doggy sitting. Thank you so much!

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.
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 Forney 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
