“Cassandra was amazing. She was so patient with my rambunctious pup and gave him lots of play time. She also was very attentive to my older dog and tended to her anxiety during storms that came through during her stay. Cassandra was very responsive, sent me detailed daily texts and photos. I know my dogs loved her because she told me how they cuddled with her. I highly recommend her and will definitely hire Cassandra again for my housesitting needs.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs and cats that I adored and cared for. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for friends’ pets whenever they needed a helping hand. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for a former client’s dog for four years before she passed away. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency, companionship, and treating every pet like family truly are. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to providing loving, attentive care while giving pet parents peace of mind. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets. 🐾 I’m available after 6 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and I’m happy to keep your pets company and give them lots of love and attention until you’re home. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends. Whether your pet needs some extra cuddles, playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’d be happy to be there for them while you’re away! 🧡🐶🐱 I provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and any other care they need. My goal is to give your pets plenty of love and attention while keeping them happy, comfortable, and feeling at ease while you’re away.

About: Howdy! My name is Sydney and I love pets! I have my own 6 year old dog, Koa, and he is my absolute best friend! We also have an 8 month old Golden Retriever named Rudder! I’d love to watch your pet, as it doesn’t just benefit me, it also benefits Koa and Rudder with a friend! I know how important and comforting it is to know your pet is in a safe and loving place, and I’m here to provide just that! I am more than happy to provide any accommodations to you and your dog, as I know every pup is special. I can’t wait to hang out with your pups and learn their fun quirks! Our time would be spent cuddling, taking walks, and lots of play! I am a teacher and my husband owns his company. I am home during summers, work 3 minutes from our home and get off at 3! My husband is able to come and go throughout the day as he can work from anywhere. We are super flexible! Our 2 pups are spoiled themselves (as they should be)! I have dog sat many times before, just not on River. We love all dogs like our own. We know how important it is to trust who has your babies. we always have 2 bowls of water filled, with lots of areas for dogs to relax.

About: Hi! My name is Aniyah, and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. During high school I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I completed over 300 hours of hands-on experience in a professional veterinary clinic. This experience taught me how to properly handle dogs of different breeds and temperaments, recognize signs of stress, and ensure every pet receives safe and attentive care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I started my own dog grooming and dog walking business last year. Grooming has quickly become one of my specialties because I enjoy helping dogs look and feel their best while keeping the experience calm and positive for them. I focus on providing gentle grooming and attentive care, especially for dogs that may feel nervous during grooming or in new environments. I look forward to providing your dog with reliable, compassionate care. If you’re looking for someone with veterinary experience, a gentle grooming approach, and a safe environment for your dog, I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. 🐕✂️ Because I am currently focused on growing my pet care business, I have very flexible availability throughout the week. I am available Monday through Sunday, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. Your pet will receive attentive supervision and structured care at all times while in my care to ensure their safety and comfort. My veterinary assistant background also helps me recognize when a dog may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly and appropriately

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have hands-on experience caring for my own cat, so I understand the importance of providing individualized care, patience, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Every animal deserves knowledgeable, compassionate care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own animals. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and pet sitting is the perfect fit alongside my work as an independent artist. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care for dogs, cats, and even exotic pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep food and water areas clean, clean up after your pets, and make sure your home stays tidy while you’re away. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience by keeping both your pets and your home safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return.

I'm a student and have time to take care of your pup ! When i am not in campus I am home with the Woofs. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of areas your pup can relax inside.

About: I've been taking care of cats since I was young and I've had several cats since age 6. As for dogs I never owned my own dog but there were always dogs in the family that I helped take care of along with dogs of my friends. Right now I am trying to find a job and I'm looking for fully remotes so my schedule is pretty open and I can do it pretty much all day. For in home or in your home I make sure that they're fed and they get plenty of water throughout the day so that generally means checking at least three or four times to make sure they have what they need. Then giving them plenty of stimulation so they're not bored and that's done through toys and chasing and just taking them out for fun adventures

FAQs for House Sitting - Forreston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 951 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Forreston. 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 Forreston 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 Forreston 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 Forreston 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forreston. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
