“Hailey is fabulous! She was able to pet sit last minute this weekend so we could give it trail run for a potential reoccurring pet sitter. Hailey was nice, responded quickly, on time, and did everything we asked to a T! Our critters LOVE her. Happy to know we have a new trusted sitter for a furry loved ones.”
“Brooklyn was fantastic! She provided us with regular updates, she communicated very well, and she was very reliable. Our dog was very anxious as a result of the fireworks for Fourth of July, and we hated to leave him, but Brooklyn did a great job of taking care of him while we were gone. We will definitely have her watch him again!”
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding business in NKY, I’ve learned a lot from working there. My love for dogs has grown more than I could imagine. I’ve had many pets growing up and I now have two of my own. I have two dachshunds named Harmony and Hazel. My favorite pet I’ve ever owned was my chinchilla! Her name was Bella. A home is not the same without a pet. I currently work a part time job and know my schedule two weeks at a time. I also have a business and work from home for that. I know my schedule usually months ahead of time. With that being said, my schedule is flexible! I can work mornings, mid day and evenings. I have a large back yard and a cute neighborhood that I walk my two dogs around. I live close to a few parks. I also have a full finished basement so if you need your pet to be crated or would like for them have a large space to themselves I have plenty of room.
“Hannah was EXCELLENT! She went Above & Beyond with my Billie. Hannah sent me a dozen pictures of Billie. She has the sweetest personality. I would use her again and I recommend her highly!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I volunteered with an animal rescue for about 6 years, where I fostered dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and even pregnant moms and their babies. That experience taught me how to care for pets with different personalities, ages, and medical needs while providing them with a safe, loving environment. I currently have a cat who is truly my baby, and I regularly care for my parents’ two dogs, cat, and lizards since they live nearby. Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, and goats, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m happy to stop by for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and medication if needed. I’m willing to travel up to 30 minutes to care for your pets and will always make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while you’re away. I prefer caring for pets in their own home because it helps them stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home, so I’ll treat both with the utmost respect. If needed, I can also care for a cat or dog in my home, which has an open yard and a calm, pet-friendly environment. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you’re back.
“Ashley did a great job watching our pups. Communication was fantastic… pics and texts, as we’d discussed up front. She even checked on our chickens when the weather became unseasonably warm! Thanks Ashley!”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets around, specifically dogs. Through my lifetime I’ve taken care of dogs with separation anxiety, older dogs, and very active dogs too. I believe that every dog has a special personality and they all deserve personalized care. So I will take in special care request that you know of, and also observe the dog so I care and play with it in the best way! I’m excited to work with you and your furry friends :) I have a pretty open schedule and availability! I can board on a Saturday night to Sunday morning, but I’m not available Sunday nights to Monday morning! I have a dog park in my apartment and share a dog with my sister so your furry friend will have some company. I also have some complement toys, treats, and a spare cage if needed!
About: Hello! I’m Ashlyn and I have been raised with at least three dogs all my life, from Yorkies to Great Danes I have owned them all! I currently own two dogs, and have been dog sitting as long as I can remember. I am a full time teacher, so my dogs are put outside and fed at about 7am, put outside again at 3pm, walked and or played with until 5pm, dinner and put outside at 6pm, and outside again at 9pm. On weekends, they follow a very similar routine, with more breaks outside and longer walks. I am comfortable with giving dogs medication, and I am overly cautious with pretty much everything such chewing on furniture, other dogs, etc. The dog being safe and the clients comfort is my top priority.
About: 🍒 At 17 years old, I became a Pet Care Technician at Red Dog Pet Resort and Spa, where I received training on essential dog care of differing breeds, sizes, and behavioral circumstances. 🍒 At 22 years old, I learned how to administer shots to my senior cat with cancer, developing critical care skills for this delicate age. 🍒 Having taken a certified dog food nutrition course, I'm aware of how to treat upset stomach, navigate allergies, and have knowledge of what foods and plants to keep away from pups/kitties. 🍒 I work from home full time as a digital illustrator, therefore I have oodles of puppy or kitty play time at my fingertips 24/7! 🥳 🌸 Pups are under 24/7 monitoring, be that chilling with us indoors, or while getting out the zoomies in the backyard! 🌸 12 minutes away from PetVet 365 Urgent Care 🌸 Provides bone holders to prevent hazardous swallowing 🌸 All day access to backyard, in and out as the pup pleases!
“Blair watched our dog for 4 days while we were out of town. Communication was easy and we got lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay! Our pup seemed very happy!”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
About: Hi I am Laurel Bonn, I would like to say my experience is based off years of having animals for being near pets. I’ve had many different sizes of dogs for my whole life.

I too have taken care of cats as they are more simple minded but I love animals over all and I would love to take care of yours Pet care fits into my routine everyday, willing to come up with a time that works for customer and me to help take care of the pup. During the week lunch I can (12-1) I can take them out to potty, after work give them a walky. Weekends are free for me to give my full attention! I live in apartment near SMU. We have a dog park and a trail near me happily able to give them all the amenities and attention
About: With 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide reliable, attentive pet care for friends, family, and clients.

I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays (in client’s home) throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

I’m always mindful of doors, windows, and any potential hazards. Throughout the stay I’m happy to send photo updates and messages via text (with your permission).
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dogs love Jessica and I know we can trust her with her with their complicated meds schedule. She sends photos and updates regularly and it is so precious to see her friendship with our dogs.”
About: For years of my life I’ve not only cared for myself but also for my pets. Day to day I make sure that they live the happiest life possible! Every morning I like to greet my fur friends and feed them their breakfast before I leave. Whenever I return I give them all the love they deserve while they accompany me throughout the rest of my day. I also play with them when they feel energetic and then at their dinner time I feed them. Most of the time I let them approach me before interacting and when sleeping or tired I give them the most of their pets. I let them be curious to an extent and I love them every second I can get!
“We were somewhat anxious about leaving our dog with a sitter for the first time. We were very impressed when we met Rachelle, and our minds were put at ease by her maturity and her knowledge and experience with dogs. Our dog instantly developed a bond with Rachelle, and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry about the safety of our dog and our home. Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend Rachelle as someone who is dependable and will take good care of your pet.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Goforth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 880 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goforth. 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 Goforth 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 Goforth 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 Goforth 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.
