“Julie once again has done a great job with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the day with status updates and pics. I’m certain we will book her services again. Thank you Julie!”
“I was so nervous about leaving our sweet Fletcher for 5 days while vacationing. We had adopted him just 3 months prior to the trip as a 1 year old. He was a very active pup and we knew he would not do well staying at home alone with someone checking in to feed him. Thank goodness for Kim and her son! They kept him busy and gave him lots of snuggles and love. The interaction with other dogs only boosted his socialization. I will definitely book with Kim again.”
“Being extremely particular dog parents, we have had grave difficulty finding the right sitter for our shih-tzus. Until now. Angie not only won the hearts of our babies but ours as well. She treated them with the love and care of her own pets giving us complete comfort and confidence in their safety, need for love & attention and well-being. Angie sent me very regular and quite detailed descriptions of their experiences and behaviors as well as great pictures to visualize their interactions. We are beyond grateful for Angie and her amazing skills making her our permanent dog-sitter.”
“Grace was very accommodating to pick up and drop off times. I received daily updates on Tuckers status. Tucker gave her a hard time the first night but was able to change things up to allow both a restful night. I will recommend anyone to Grace for dog sitting. No other dogs at her place so yours gets her undivided attention.”
“Had a family medical emergency and Anita jumped in to help. Within a few minutes, she was at our house, picking up Rascal and his traveling accessories. Anita sent constant photos and videos of Rascal...on his vacation ;). Anita's help gave the family time to work through the medical issues without the worry of "who's got the dog?" I would hire Anita and family again and highly recommend. Anita was kind and understanding of our situation. Especially thankful, as we reside in Florida - so the logistics of finding help was a challenge.”
“Maria and Ken were both very very amazing. They are extremely friendly, have a beautiful and clean home, and a mini doodle themselves. Communication was perfect, we got photos and videos of Leo, and he was clearly very happy there! I would definitely have them look after Leo again, without question.”
“Karina was very accommodating, communicates fast, and gives you clear expectations. My doggie spent a few days with her and her furry babies, and I got pictures and updates all throughout! I will definitely trust her again with my dog♥”
“We were so lucky to have found Tatiana. Communication was timely. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. But most importantly, I could tell she loved on our dogs just as much as we do and there’s nothing more that we could have asked for! Would happily book again!”
“Kim & her husband were great! She took detailed notes at our first meet and greet, which put me at ease that she would be on top of things. She sent an update and photo every day. Her house was clean and dog friendly, and their whole "vibe" was very calm and relaxed yet responsible. Will definitely use them again!”
“I’ve been in search of a dog sitter, I noticed Tycilea profile and I was very impressed so I decided to schedule a few hours for a meet and greet. Cinco had a wonderful time with her, they connected from the moment they met. She communicated throughout the visit, she also sent pics and videos of my fur baby. I love her personality, it’s so warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend her and Cinco will be visiting her again real soon.”
“Auburn was absolutely fantastic in caring for our dog, Malo. She went above and beyond not only did she do an excellent job with all the tasks, but she also sent wonderful photos throughout, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We could tell Malo was relaxed and happy in her care. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Highly recommend Auburn to anyone looking for dependable, caring, and attentive dog care.”
“Beverly was wonderful with our little dog, Bandit. And her little doggy is sweet and great with our dog, too! He was safe, happy and well taken care of! We will definitely come back!”
“Megan did an amazing job watching our dog! She sent us daily updates with photos and had great communication throughout the entire stay. Our dog loved it over there.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my sweet puppies, Kobe & Kaya! They look so happy in the video and pictures you sent daily. It is so comforting to know they are being cared for by people who love dogs. Thank you!”
“My pup couldn’t be happier to stay with this loving family. He alway comes back more loving and so tired from all the walks. We couldn’t be happier with the care and service Tamara provides. I would definitely recommend her service to anyone who is looking for a safe and loving place to place their furry kids!”
“This is the first time we have used River and Flavia was nothing short of exceptional. We usually have family members or neighbors take care of my babies but it wasn’t possible this time around. Flavia picked up my pups which was super helpful. She sent me videos of them to make sure I knew they were having fun. Flavia was understanding and willing to go the extra mile to make my pups feel at home. I will definitely be using Flavia again and I recommend her to anyone who is on the fence about using Rover to find a dog sitter! Thank you Flavia!”
“They took such amazing care of my pup!! They were excellent about communication, sending pictures, and really treated her as their own. Would definitely recommend and will surely use them next time!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
I was worried to leave my dog as this is my first time using Rover. Julie made me feel so much better by having us meet before so my pup would be comfy when it came time for dropoff. She sent me updates daily and loved on my girl so well! We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!
Karina sent me pictures daily of my baby, Dany. She seemed happy and well taken care of. Dany looked well groomed and clean when I picked her up, the same as she did when I dropped her off. Dany seemed to have made friends during her visit which is always a plus as she is an only child. I would definitely use Karina again to watch Dany.
Nugget had a great time and was well taken care of. While we were away, Angie sent us some adorable pictures of our pup. It was wonderful to see her play and socialize with her new doggie friends. She was very responsive, and Nugget would like to come back on our next trip.
She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was so sweet, communicative, and responsive throughout their stay, and I really appreciated all the pictures and video updates she sent. She made my dogs feel comfortable and cared for, and they seemed so happy and relaxed with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with her again!
An absolutely wonderful experience. Excellent communication and sent videos and pics. More importantly my dog Max felt immediately comfortable and at home. He honestly didn’t care a bit when I left. The yard was perfect and safe for him to roam around. She asked all the right questions to make sure understood Max and how best to care for him. I will definitely book again.
I seriously can’t recommend Savannah enough! She and her family took amazing care of Rumi and Betty while I was away. My girls are both pretty shy and can take a while to warm up to new people, but it was obvious they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Savannah sent me updates and pictures every single day, which meant so much and let me actually relax knowing they were in great hands. She was also incredibly kind and compassionate from the moment I dropped them off, and that meant more to me than I can put into words. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been given lots of love and attention. I would trust Savannah with them again in a heartbeat, and I’m so grateful I found her. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your pets like they’re her own, she’s the one!
We had an excellent experience with Kenneth & Maria! They kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, happy, and loved. We truly appreciated the communication and professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake Forest home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lake Forest.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lake Forest sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
