“Carla was absolutely wonderful with our pup while we were away! She gave her so much love and attention and kept up with her medication regimen. She was very communicative and left our home just the way we left it.”
“NeTia was a fantastic pet/house sitter! She came to my home before her job began to allow the dogs to familiarize themselves with her. Both of my dogs, even my very scared/shy dog, immediately took to NeTia. I believe they noticed her calm presence and felt at ease. I got pictures and consistent feedback from NeTia! I never worried about how the animals were doing! She did a great job with the pets, communication, and keeping the house clean. She even washed, dried, and folded the towels she used! :)”
“Ava watched our two babies for six days while we were out of town, and she also house sat for us. She did an amazing job!! One of our dogs is skittish around strangers but she warmed up to Ava very well. Ava sent at least 2-3 pup updates with pics every day and took great care of our home. Everything was in wonderful shape when we returned from our trip. We will definitely book Ava again next time!”
“Jenna was amazing! Great communication, updates with pictures, and we came home to find our house cleaner than we left it! She will definitely be my go-to any time we need a pet sitter moving forward. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Omg… KELILA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So kind, so helpful and most importantly my baby loved her so mix. She was the best sitter I have ever had, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Kelila.”
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.
“I don't have enough words to express how great Carrice is!!! Carrice was seriously amazing with my boy Otis. He’s a recent rescue and still has some house training issues, so leaving him with someone new was EXTREMELY nerve wracking for me, especially because me and him are still getting to know each other too. She made me feel so much better the entire time by constantly keeping me updated, sending me pics + vids, and letting me know how he was doing. She was so patient and understanding with his accidents and just really kind to him in general. He got so much love and attention, and she even taught him how to sit!! She also kept my house super clean while I was gone, which I didn’t even ask her to do, and I appreciated that so much, especially because I wasn’t feeling well when I got back. She’s honestly just a really great person - very patient, thoughtful, understanding, and communicative. I could tell Otis was really cared for and that meant a lot to me. I’d absolutely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone!! (:”
“Aidan did a wonderful job watching my two pups. He made it known he was new to the app, and his love for animals. He scheduled time to check in with me before hand and kept me updated during the visits. He went above and beyond, even helping my neighbor fix my our fence, so the dogs could go outside. He also was able to extend time on short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Will absolutely use Aidan again, and couldn’t highly recommend him!”
“Kendall stayed in our house to watch our two Goldens for an extended weekend. The pups seemed to have enjoyed themselves, and the house was very clean! She clearly took great care of them, and sent us picture updates the whole time. I will be contacting her again to book her in the future when needed, as I can know I can fully trust her in my house and with my dogs!”
“Carly is a godsend!! Very knowledgeable and loving with our cats and dogs. All babies were happy and house well cared for. We could not have asked for more! Will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Karina was great!!! She dog/house sat for 5 nights. I could tell she paid attention to all the notes I left her (which was a crazy amount lol) and kept the dogs in their normal routine. It’s been such a relief to find someone we trust to stay at our home with our doggies while we’re away. Highly recommend! 💕”
About: Growing up we always had animals. I currently have a Great Dane. Very active with him. Lots of walks and cuddles. He’s very friendly, if pets stayed in the home with us. I do work full time but I have a flexible schedule. Mondays and Fridays I have the least flexibility I am still able to do 2 drop in visits on those days. Early morning and after 8pm. Please get with me on specific times if needed thank you! I have a Great Dane who is very friendly and will keep your dog company all day. I’m pretty flexible and can make sure to tend to your dogs normal schedule
“Britney did a fabulous job with our 3 senior animals. Everything was tended to as requested and she even left us a thank you card with some printed photos she took of them. She was delightful, professional and had no problem gaining the affection of our babies. We would certainly have her back in the future :)”
“Samantha took care of my babies for 10 days. She was reliable, followed instructions & took really great care of them and my home while house sitting. Just booked her for a few weeks from now! ❤️ thank you again”
“Haley is the best sitter we have had! She takes the time to meet and understand your dogs’ needs first. I really appreciate all the updates she provides-videos, photos and messages so you know what is going on with your babies. She is extremely kind to my dogs and communicates very well. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Melanie was fantastic. She was comfortable staying with my 5 dogs and did a great job. She stayed in contact & sent some photos while i was away. I felt totally safe leaving my home & dogs in her care. I will definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forney
Carla is the best dog sitter EVER! The concern and care she shows to Sam and Laci is amazing. Even though we miss our pups on our vacation, we don't worry about their comfort and happiness because of Carla. Her attention to detail in caring for our babies is incredible. And the pictures and videos she sends us are just amazing. We would not go on vacation unless we can book Carla. She is a real credit to your company!
Heather is amazing! She watched all 3 of our boys (2 of which are seniors who need medication) while we were on a week-long cruise and we were so relaxed with them in her care. She gave us updates and photos all the time and event spent the night next to my senior dog suffering from IVDD on his bad flare up day. She also went above and beyond to take care of household maintenance items without being asked which was such a pleasant surprise. She's our go-to dogsitter!
This is our first time using a sitter that wasn't family and I was really nervous. Carly was amazing!! She sent multiple updates through the day (my dogs looked very happy) and kept me informed on all that was happening at the house. She went above and beyond in all aspects of her care of our home and our babies. When we returned from our week-long trip, the house was spotless. I appreciate her so much for everything and will be using her for all of our trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Forney is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 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 3,029 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forney. 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 Forney 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 Forney 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 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!
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.
