“Alexia was wonderful with our dog, Milo! He was a little nervous at first, but she was so patient and gave him the time he needed to warm up to her. She provided drop-in visits, sent detailed updates and plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was professional, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Milo was comfortable and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Alexia for all of our future dog-sitting needs. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
About: I am dedicated to providing the best possible care for your furry baby. I will treat every dog as part of our family. I have had dogs in our family for over 20 years and everyone in our family has pets I am retired and love taking care of little dogs. They bring me lots of joy and company. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood and in the park and your dog will enjoy them also. I love to take dogs for walks, and I have a big backyard for them to play. The safety of your pets is our number one priority while they stay with us.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities.

About: I’m a veterinary technician in college for animal science pre-vet! I have been a tech for 5+ years along with caring for my small and large animals! I have experience with hamsters, cats, dogs all ages and sizes, cats all ages and sizes, horses, cattle, goats, and sheep! I can give injection as well as administer oral medication. I am currently a full time technician along as well as full time student. I do pet sitting whenever I can. I always find a way to fit sitting in my schedule! And majority of the time it works out! I treat my clients pets as my own. I always plan a time prior to me sitting them to meet the pet and get a better understanding of them. I can administer medication, identify emergencies, I can do nail trims (always a plus), regular schedule feedings, walking, litter box cleaning, park time, etc.
“This is the third time I placed my baby Zeus in Aniyah's care and she was wonderful! She's always punctual, sends numerous photos, and always goes above and beyond to put your mind at ease while you're away. I will definitely continue depending on her to care for Zeus.”
About: I have loved and handled pets/animals of all kind since I was a toddler with no fear in sight. Outside of my own pets, most of my family and friends have always had some sort of pet that I have watched or taken care of- dogs, cats, snakes, fish, turtles, ferrets, lizards, some of everything. My grandfather also had a farm with horses, chickens and cattle that my brother and I helped him take care of. I am a substitute teacher, so I don’t work everyday, and get to choose when I work. This also means that I have the summer and holidays off so my flexibility is very high. If I am in someone else’s home caring for their pet, I follow all rules set by the owner for both the pet I’m watching and myself. If I am watching a pet at my home, I make sure everything is very neat and clean so there are no health hazards and they can’t get into things they shouldn’t.
About: I've had a range of pets since I was small. I've taken care of a variety of cats and dogs. I'm an introvert so I'm a lot more comfortable being around pets than I am around people. I love bringing my pets with me to exercise because I believe they provide the motivation I need to keep going. I've never had an issue with taking care of pets and have always had a pleasant experience. I'm currently working part time at the DFW airport but I'm almost always home during the week. My fascination with other people's pets captures my attention so I'm willing to give 110% of my time to your baby! They'll never be bored with me and I am really patient with those who might be timid or easily frightened. I have a fenced yard with enough room tk run around. I can allow them to free roam downstairs to gain comfortability. I would be willing to share my curiosity with your pet in your home and will explore with them as long as you/they allow it.
About: I’m a caring, attentive pet sitter who treats every animal like they’re my own! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including young kittens and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, walks, administering medications and cleaning up after pets. Every animal has their own routine and comfort level and I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos! I follow instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule. I’m attentive and careful with doors, gates, leashes, food and medications. I keep their environment clean and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection.
“Adelaide did an amazing job with even our most anxious pup. She took her time and gave them all the time they needed to run and have social interaction. She kept us updated and shared pictures and videos to help ease our worries about leaving the pups behind. We will be using her again!”

About: I have cared for dogs all my life from puppies less than a month old to 100 pound dogs, from low maintenance to high maintenance and rare breeds. I have experience working at a dog training and boarding facility, and happy to train your pets during my time with them. I also have experience with exotic pets such as chinchillas, chickens, lizards, etc. I love chilling and playing with relaxed animals in their home and cuddling as well as very active lifestyle dogs as I love to hike, and everything in between. I also have provided end of life comfort care for senior animals to give them dignity in their last times and give them a happy experience. As well as medication treatment for pills, no experience in shots. You can trust me with your family as I will be sure to treat them as my own. I work full time from home in Dallas and inside a venue in Irving. My hours are really weird due to the industry I work in as it completely frees up my mornings and afternoons. I work in live entertainment and I am only out of my home at night, never later than 10pm. I also have a great team of employees that I am easily able to take off time with little notice in case of bookings that need more one on ones at home and do my work fully from home. I love my job and industry as I have a lot of flexibility and free time when most people work. I have experience with reactive dogs and escape artists. If I’m in an unknown environment I make sure to take extra care and precaution about any possible what if situations and take in my surroundings alone without the animals before I take them to point out any pain points or any blind spots. I will never let any animal out even in a fenced in backyard unsupervised because I know accidents can always happen. My own dog at home is very reactive and I have a lot of experience on redirecting and heavy pulling, as he’s a 90 pound dog who likes to walk you than the other way around. Also working at a boarding and training facility I have experience in stopping fights and the signs to look out for before an attack is imminent. My entire life as a pet parent I have prided myself in recognizing those signs either on the street or at dog parks. I know how much it would devastate me if my pet was hurt even in an accident, that I make it my duty for you to trust me with your family in my care and never have to worry about it.
About: Caring for animals is my passion, and I have been providing dedicated pet care for over 10 years. I prioritize the comfort and happiness of every pet, treating them as if they were my own, and ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I manage the needs of high-energy breeds with active play and outings, maintain a clean and secure environment, and am vigilant in observing any signs of distress or health changes. I am CPR and First Aid trained. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and always have emergency contact information readily available. Witnessing their unique personalities and helping shy pets feel comfortable brings me joy. My kindness and empathy make me a great fit for caring for your beloved companions. I would love to use my pet-sitting, walking, and grooming skills to care for your dogs and cats! Available any time or day. Date night, work, sleep, jus need a break I’m here to help with your pets and would love the opportunity. Fenced in yard, treats and food , safe and clean house, plenty of toys and treats and care and anything extra they may need. Thanks

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,567 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forreston. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.
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.
