About: I’ve raised all kinds of pets from newborns, adopted, and elderly. They deserve attention and care just like humans and I strive to do just that. I work Thurs-Sun 7a-5p and off during the week. I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention. I’m an empath and know when I need a break, so do they!

About: What sets us apart from other pet sitters is our extensive experience and genuine passion for animal care. With several years of hands-on experience, we have had the privilege of delivering newborn puppies and providing specialized care to pets with disabilities. Our approach to pet sitting is not just about ensuring that your pets are safe; it’s about providing them with love and tailored care that suits their individual needs. Our loving family includes our own English Bulldog, who are incredibly social and enjoy playing with other dogs. We make frequent trips to the dog park, which helps our Bulldogs stay well-socialized and happy. Our pets are up-to-date with their flea, tick, and heartworm treatments, and they thrive on regular exercise. We believe that playtime is just as important indoors as it is outside, so your pets will enjoy a mix of both during their stay with us. We would be thrilled to meet you and your family, and we look forward to the opportunity to provide your pets with the same high level of care and affection that we offer our own. Feel free to reach out to arrange a visit or ask any questions. We can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friends into our home! Pet care is an integral part of our daily and weekly routine, woven seamlessly into our lives. Here’s a glimpse into how it fits into our schedule: **Daily Routine:** - **Morning:** Each day begins with early morning walks for our English Bulldogs, ensuring they start the day with exercise and a chance to socialize. After the walk, we provide breakfast and any necessary medications or treatments. - **Midday:** Throughout the day, we monitor and engage with the pets, offering playtime, training exercises, and regular check-ins to ensure their comfort and well-being. - **Evening:** In the evening, we take another walk or visit to the dog park, followed by dinner and winding down with some indoor play or relaxation time. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and attention, both physically and mentally. **Weekly Routine:** - **Health and Maintenance:** We stay on top of regular health maintenance, such as flea, tick, and heartworm treatments. We also schedule any necessary grooming or veterinary appointments. - **Socialization:** We make frequent trips to the dog park and arrange playdates with other dogs to ensure our pets remain well-socialized and happy. - **Training and Enrichment:** We incorporate training sessions and enrichment activities throughout the week to keep our pets mentally stimulated and to reinforce good behavior. By integrating these routines, we ensure that our pets receive consistent care and attention, creating a balanced and fulfilling environment for them. This same level of dedication and routine is applied to the pets in our care, so you can be confident that they’ll be treated with the same love and attention. The approach to pet care varies depending on whether we’re offering boarding, overnight stays, walking, or drop-in services. Here’s how we handle each scenario: ### **1. Boarding:** When pets stay with us for boarding, we create a home-away-from-home environment tailored to their needs: - **Comfortable Space:** Pets enjoy a cozy, dedicated space in our home, complete with their own bedding and toys to make them feel comfortable and secure. - **Daily Routine:** We follow a structured routine that mirrors their home life as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. - **Socialization:** Our English Bulldogs and other pets are great companions, and we facilitate supervised interactions to ensure a smooth integration. - **Health Monitoring:** We keep a close eye on their health, administering any medications as needed and ensuring they receive regular check-ups and care. ### **2. Overnight Stays:** For overnight stays in a client’s home, our focus is on maintaining their routine and providing peace of mind: - **Home Comfort:** We respect their home environment, ensuring everything is left as we found it and that their usual comforts are maintained. - **Routine Maintenance:** We follow their established routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, keeping everything consistent to minimize stress. - **Security and Safety:** We ensure the home is secure and follow any specific instructions given by the pet owner to ensure their pet’s safety and comfort. ### **3. Walking:** Dog walking services are designed to give pets exercise and mental stimulation: - **Scheduled Walks:** We adhere to the agreed schedule, providing regular walks that meet the pet’s exercise needs and preferences. - **Route Variety:** To keep walks interesting, we vary the routes and incorporate different sights and smells, making each outing enjoyable. - **Leash Manners:** We reinforce good leash manners and ensure a safe, enjoyable walk, taking care to avoid any potential hazards. ### **4. Drop-Ins:** Drop-in services involve visiting pets to provide care while owners are away: - **Feeding and Watering:** We provide fresh food and water, following the pet’s regular feeding schedule. - **Exercise and Play:** We engage in playtime and provide some exercise, based on the pet’s preferences and needs. - **Health Check:** During each visit, we check for any signs of health issues and ensure the pet is comfortable and happy. - **Update Reports:** We keep pet owners updated with reports or photos, so they can feel connected and reassured. In all scenarios, the goal is to offer a consistent, caring experience that aligns with the pet’s routine and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are in our hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I currently have two German Shepherds and four cats of my own, including a Sphynx cat, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I provide dependable in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, allowing your pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering medications, following special care instructions, and maintaining your pet’s regular routine to help reduce stress. I also worked at a veterinary office during high school (2005–2006), where I gained hands-on experience with animal handling, basic care, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. You can count on me to treat your pets like family and provide regular updates for your peace of mind.) have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your scheduling needs. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, so I provide attentive care in your home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also respect your home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands.

About: I have been caring for animals personally for the past 14 years. I was a dog mom to Barkley, a 14-year old rescue Yorkie, who crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in 2024. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. While I don’t have a backyard with my townhome, there is a ton of green space in my community for walks to provide plenty of sunshine, fresh air and exercise for your pooch. Currently, I am working from home full-time during the week with 1-in office day a week. I take frequent breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide walks and potty breaks. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as they are at home so please feel free to share the needs and routines of your pooch. As a dog mom who has utilized a sitter for the past 12 years I understand the perspective of leaving your fur baby in the hands of someone else. You can expect quality and attentive care and of course all the free tummy rubs. I currently work from home 4 days of the week and can provide potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m usually away from the house on average 2 hours a day total for errands or working out. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog so they can have as close to their routine. Let me know if you would prefer for your dog to be crated or kept in a specific area during the day or night.

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.

About: With over 30 years of experience as a devoted dog owner, I’m the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to pet sitting, house sitting, and more. I absolutely love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those with health concerns that require daily medication. I frequently dog sit puppies, helping with basic training commands like sit, lay, shake, and stay. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, ensuring each one receives the attention and care they deserve. Daily walks, playtime, and a loving environment are guaranteed. Dogs will have access to a doggy door for indoor-outdoor freedom, and I make sure all pets are safely crated at night for their well-being. When I step out, I love taking dogs along for car rides and errands to keep them engaged and happy. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities! Pet care is naturally integrated into my daily and weekly routine. Since I have the flexibility to work from home, I’m able to provide constant supervision and companionship for the dogs in my care. When I go into my office in Dallas, I can bring pets along with me to ensure they’re never left alone for long periods. If I need to step out for something where I can’t bring a dog, I always make sure they’ve gone potty before I leave, then safely crate them for their comfort and security until I return. However, if a dog can join me for errands, I love bringing them along for car rides and outings to keep them engaged and socialized. This balance allows me to provide attentive, loving care while ensuring each pet feels safe, happy, and included in my daily routine. My approach to pet care varies based on the service provided, ensuring each pet receives the attention and care they need in a safe and comfortable environment. * House Sitting – When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they require. I also ensure their home is secure and well-maintained while they’re away. * Boarding – In my home, pets enjoy a loving and structured environment with access to a decent-sized backyard for playtime, a doggy door for indoor-outdoor freedom, daily walks, and plenty of attention. At night, I crate pets for their safety and comfort. If I step out, I make sure they’ve pottied before crating them and return promptly. If they can come with me, I take them along for outings. * Dog Walking – Whether a quick potty break or a long stroll, I tailor walks to each dog’s energy level and needs, ensuring they get proper exercise and stimulation. * Daycare – For pets staying during the day, I provide a fun and engaging environment with playtime, socialization, and personalized care based on their needs. No matter the service, I prioritize safety, comfort, and plenty of love to make sure every pet feels happy and secure.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forney on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 5,187 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forney. 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 .

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.

  • 96% 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 .

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.
