“Carla watched our three dogs while we traveled for our wedding. She is truly the best! I felt completely comfortable the whole time and knew they were in good hands. She really knows dogs. Not to mention she is a lovely person to talk to. If you are looking for a sitter and have any hesitation definitely consider Carla you won’t be disappointed!!”

“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! :)”
“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: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.
“Aleona stayed with our boys for the first time this evening and she took such great care of them! She kept me updated, sent pictures and videos, and was all around attentive to our two very sensitive/anxiety filled boys. We are so glad to have found her!”
“Lacy was absolutely FANTASTIC! she sent me so many pictures throughout the whole night and was helping with their listening skills while on walks and just being a very good caregiver while teaching them as well! Would most definitely let her watch my boys again!”
“It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need a sitter.”
“Ryder was so amazing with my baby boys! He was able to deal with my dogs hyperness and my other dogs excessive cuddle times lol which can be a lot at times but they overall they had a great time. I appreciate him being able to do a last minute booking as well! Will be booking again soon”
“Brooke was absolutely fantastic with our older dog, Maya, while we were out of the country. She really put our minds at ease with her care and attention! Maya can be a little stubborn about going outside since her eyesight isn’t what it used to be, but Brooke was so patient and gentle with her. It didn’t take long before Maya had made a new best friend! We loved receiving Brooke’s detailed updates and photos. It was so comforting to see how well Maya was doing. On top of that, she left the house spotless, even vacuuming and washing the sheets! Maya truly enjoyed her company, and we will definitely be booking with Brooke again. We couldn’t have asked for better care!”
“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!”

Carla always takes such good care of Remi Pearl. She communicates throughout the stay, sends lots of pictures and leaves my home tidy. She’s always my first reach out when we need a sitter. You know my girl loves her when she’s looking for her after we return home.
Heather continues to be a reliable sitter for our 3 dogs. We always enjoy having her take care of our pups, she sends plenty of updates, and has always been flexible with scheduling and administering meds when needed. Keeps the home nice and tidy and we always come home to happy dogs:)

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!

Aisja did a great job taking care of our big puppies and senior special needs dog. We had an emergency need for same day care and Aisja responded promptly and was able to fit us in. Her love of animals was obvious as soon as she met our dogs. I’d highly recommend her for taking care of anyone’s pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Forney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Forney on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,156 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
