“Christian did an excellent job with my fur babies! All 4 of them! Dogs were happy when I got home, not stressed. House was well kept, dishwasher started, looked like it did when I left! I was very pleased and would certainly recommend him and will definitely use him to house and dog sit Again!”
“Ellie was professional and kind to our animals. We appreciated her communications and attention to our animals' care. Thanks for making our travel easier, by letting us leave knowing our pets are well cared for!”
“Rebekah was a great house / dog sitter! My dog was in a cone and had some meds he had to take and she handled it all great, especially since it took him a moment to warm up and settle in. She was patient with him, very communicative and had the sweetest things to say about him! I will definitely book Rebekah again in the future.”
“This was my first time in about 3 years of having to leave Xena alone with a sitter, I'm not sure who was more anxious, me or the dog. After the meet and greet with Leah, I knew that her and Xena would be friends. Leah was great at keeping my nerves at bay by providing updates and sending pictures. Xena was genuinely excited to have Leah watch her and that makes me happy. I could not recommend Leah enough - she was fantastic.”
“Gabby is the best! This is the second time she's watched our dogs. She reached out to meet again beforehand because it had been awhile and one of our dogs is very skittish with new people. It was a great idea and helped our dog acclimate during her stay. Would, and have, recommended to friends.”
About: I’m a life time pet lover. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses & bunnies growing up but have always loved dogs the most. I’m familiar with all sorts of breeds from my own personal experience. Big breeds such as German Shepherds, American Akitas, Pitbulls & small breeds like dachshund, chihuahuas & poodles. My experience in caring for these breeds has been from my own pets, & caring for family and friends pups. Just as much as I loved their pups & my own i’d do the same with your beloved pups! I currently work full time, but I am able to walk/ pet sit your pup after work or on the weekends. They will get the best care possible! I live in an apartment, but on the weekend and when I am home after work they get two walks before bed and several walks throughout the day when I’m home on the weekends.
“Cheyanne was great with Tobey and gave him space to get acquainted with her on the first day. She always sent pictures and updates. If I had any questions or concerns she would address them and follow through. She was great and Tobey loved her!”
“Julie did a fantastic job with our two pups. She gave us updates and u could tell really cared about the pups. We will definitely be calling Julie again to care for our two fur babies!”
About: I’ve rescued all the pets I’ve ever owned and trained them myself as well. I also used to volunteer at shelters a while ago too. Im going back to college full time (fully online) so this would be my full time job for now and possibly even for a while so I will be available pretty much 24/7 as I will almost always be home. My pets are on a good routine with us. They are crate trained, potty trained, and can even do some extra tricks for treats! they have a bedtime as well. I try to treat my pets as if they were my own children. There is a separate dog area in my back yard away from the rest of the yard in case I need to split anyone up or need to put the dogs away while I garden.
“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”
“Terry is fantastic! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away, giving us the confidence we needed for our first experience with a sitter. Fredrick can be a bit anxious but when we got home it was clear she took great care of him and had made a friend.”
About: Ten years caring for dogs of every size, I specialize in small breeds but open to all sizes and breeds, offering calm, unrushed walks with flexible scheduling and photo updates every visit. I work night shifts, which gives me flexible daytime hours to dedicate to your dog. I’m typically available for walks mid-morning through early afternoon on weekdays, with some weekend availability too. Since I’m not juggling a second daytime job, your walk won’t be squeezed between other commitments. Safety comes first on every walk — I always use a secure leash and harness setup, stay alert to other dogs and traffic, and never take shortcuts on route or timing. I have two miniature dachshunds at home, so I understand small-breed handling, from careful leash tension to watching for signs of fatigue.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 7. I love animals of any kind big or small. I’m extremely loving and caring so your pets will be very loved and taken care of. I’m currently going to school for 3 days out the week for 1 hour so I’m free the rest of the week and day! I would be able to provide lots of walking, cuddling and over all my undivided attention towards your pets. I live In an apartment however, they are pet friendly. I will be able to walk your pets every hour, I can provide treats, and maybe some training if the pet is whiling!
“Jen was amazing with our two dogs. She walked them daily, provided tons of photos, and played with them. She stayed at our house and was clean and tidy. Would definitely trust her with our dogs again!!”
“Victoria is really sweet and we will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need a dog sitter! She had mentioned that we were her 1st customer on rover. What we asked of her (house sit + dog sit for 2 weeks) was a lot to ask of someone for the 1st time being on rover but she took it like a champ! She came over to do a meet and greet and we found out that she’s a preschool teacher too so she is a double weapon for those who has kids! We told her while we are gone our house is yours especially with groceries that were not used since we had been gone for so long. She not only updated up with pictures of the pups and how things were going and when she has guests over (we had told her if it made her feel comfortable she can have a friend, siblings, or significant other over) but she even bought us a value pack of soda since she had some of ours we left behind but she bought our kids spooky nuggets (just because!). She even left a welcome home not on the kids chalkboard that I did not see until later. You are the best Victoria, don’t change!”
About: I’m Allie and I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I grew up with them and now I have 3 of my own so I am extremely well versed in taking care of pups! I have a 9 year Australian Cattle/Lab rescue, a 4 year old Pitbull, and my newest edition 5 month old Frenchie. I’m very active so they will get plenty of play and eve walks if you’d like! I can assure you that I will take care of your pups like they are my own. I’m currently working from home and I have reliable transportation so I have a lot of flexibility. I am willing to work around your schedule. I treat any home that I enter with the upmost respect. I communicate with you every step of the way and ensure your fur babies are safe and happy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grey Forest
Reily is simply amazing! The love and care she showed our pups was like they were her own. Not is she amazing with Aspen and Sterling, but she took amazing care of our home. We came home and it looked like we never had left. Our home was spotless! To top it off there were fresh baked cookies that were still warm when we got home. We will never book anyone else!
Bryanna was great with George! She followed all directions without issue and sent many pics. Always keeping me updated on how she was doing. Arrived early and was flexible when I needed a little extra time. I will use her again if I have to come back to San Antonio! Really great job.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Grey Forest is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $105 per night. On Rover, 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Grey Forest 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 Grey Forest 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 Grey Forest 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
