About: I’ve been in a Rover family taking care of dogs and cats of varying age and kind since I was 9! I love playing with your pet(s) and going on walks with them! Hello! I’m currently working part time as I complete grad school. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule to work around your busy one and have plenty of time and availability to love on and care for your pet. My family grew up with our own dogs and we watched many dogs over the years. Now, I love getting to know new furry animals and taking care of them myself! Under my care, your furry family member will receive many walks, pets, and lots of play.
About: Hi! My name is Dae, I am 28 years old and have been working in animal hospitals since I was in college. I have my bachelors in Pre-Veterinary Medicine/ Animal Science. I am comfortable with all animals. All the hospitals I have worked in had boarding facilities attached to them. I started out in the boarding side and moved my way up to being a vet tech. I am currently enrolled in school to become a licensed tech as well. Please be aware that I may not be able to do drop ins several times a day. I work 10 hour days- 4 days a week. I can house sit. I am also able to drop in for things such as nail trims for your calm cats and dogs if you’d like. I’m currently working full time 4 days a week. I get of work at 6 pm. So I would be more for the low maintenance pets. I could drop by in the morning and in the evening. My schedule changes weekly and I am off every Sunday. I can only care for your pets at your home. I am able to perform any tasks you would like me to since I have experience handling various pets with various needs.
“LOVED! Was the first time I’ve used Courtney or anyone out side of family in years and I felt comfortable since day one and the pictures of my boys smiling throughout the whole stay just made it better! Will absolutely reach out to Courtney for my future needs”
“We just walked in the door from our trip. We were gone for our son’s wedding and came home exhausted, but Shannon had the sweetest surprise waiting for us. Not only were our dogs happy and excellently cared for, but my house was SPOTLESS!! Her kindness was such an unexpected gift. 100% will call her again and again!”
“Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.”
“Amazing service!!! She tended to my fur babies with so much love.. Vintage didn’t want to leave her arms, he typically isn’t the affectionate one. I received daily updates and was able to enjoy my getaway with no worries.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs in my lifetime & fully trained 4. I have also raised & trained two cats. My favorite hobby is hanging out with animals. I am currently only working part time so I have a lot of downtime at home. I like to go for walks & would be happy to bring a dog(s) along with me. I enjoy spending time with all pets and ensuring that their needs are met. I spend my time at home, which means they will not be left alone for extended periods of time. I welcome all animals to lay on my furniture.
About: Pet care schedule: Your baby will have 4 outside play sessions a day 6-7am 11-12pm 4-5pm 9-10pm Pet stimulations include: Water sprinkler Balls and squeaky toys Rope and tug toys Lick bowls and mats (upon approval) Teething toys for puppies Puzzles and enrichment play Flying toys (Frisbee and balls) Ball pit Your baby will take 2 walks on leash to monitor pooping and to help burn out energy. Pets are free to roam my home and yard. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed Pets are allowed to sleep where they are most comfortable If you are requesting a meet and greet, please understand meet and greets must take place at my residence where your baby is being kept, because I must remain present for pets I am sitting ❤️. Pet owners will receive picture or video updates about their fur baby a minimum of twice a day unless there is a special request. A little about me: Animal care runs deeply in my family. I come from generations of farmers and veterinary professionals, including uncle whose pioneering contributions to veterinary medicine were honored by Tuskegee Institute. I was taught from an early age how to care for animals. I enjoy spoiling and treating my fur babies like my own children (because they are lol). I lived on a farm for most of my life and have cared for animals my entire life. I own a mini poodle, named Zoe, who loves playing with other dogs. Zoe and I enjoy dog parks, doggie pools, visiting doggie bakeries to try new treats, playing catch and tug of war, doggie walks, play dates with other dogs, and cuddle time while watching a great movie. My dog is my best friend. Zoe’s health and happiness is important to me, and it is equally important to me to ensure your fur baby is cared for with the same quality of time, effort and love. I believe in being flexible and accommodating for the familes i serve. When caring for your pet, I provide daily updates (photo/video) and stay in close communication so parents can feel comfortable and connected while they are away. When available, i also enjoy sending pups home with special treats. In my care, your pup will enjoy daily walks, up to 4 outdoor play sessions a day, water play (with doggie sprinkler or doggie pool), access to roam a large fenced back yard, the company and friendship of other dogs, daily treats and snacks (at the approval of the owner), doggie day care shows on a movie projector, and all the cuddles and love they need while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby ❤️. Me and my husband alternate being home so your baby will have consistent presence to attend to their needs. In addition, i have cameras in my home that allow me to monitor pet activity 24/7. I believe in keeping pets safe, comfortable and well entertained. As mentioned, fur babies are provided potty breaks every 2-4 hours starting at 6am. Pups are given 3-4 play sessions outside in the fenced yard. Pets are free fed or fed on a schedule at the parent's request. Pets who do not get along with other pets are separated to ensure a safe environment. Pets who are not potty trained are encouraged to arrive with wraps or diapers to help maintain a safe and clean environment. Pet parents are asked to communicate if their baby have any history of aggression, toy possession, or anxiety so that I can ensure the comfort and safety of all pets.
“Ana did a tremendous job watching over our pups while we were out of town. She constantly kept us updated and shared pics letting us know they were in great hands. Would definitely book again, highly recommended!”
“Marc did an excellent job of taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town for 6 days. We had him come over and meet the dogs ahead of time and both dogs took to him very well. Marc was very communicative during this time, and he kept us informed while away from our overly attached pups.”
About: I absolutely love animals and caring for all sorts. I grew up with Dogs and cats my whole life so I am experienced with caring for them. I believe all animals deserve to be properly cared for and played with. I have a soft spot in my heart for them. I am currently unemployed looking for side jobs, so I am available 24/7. I am an active person who loves being outside and walking. Your pets safety and comfort is my number 1 priority. I will provide loving, attentive care while following your request and routines and of course keep you updated throughout the day as needed.
“Ariel was great with Gemma for the long weekend I was away. She even stayed longer on the last day when my flight was delayed. I hope she will watch Gemma all the time!”
“Jordyn was wonderful with our very spoiled pets. She updated us often with photos and took great care of all three of them. Knowing they were safe and taken care took a huge burden off during a stressful travel. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello everyone a little about me. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was relatively 8 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me with the care of their pets because I create a bond with them and their fur-babies. When taking care of them or even walking creates positive stimulation which is key. Having the pet in the best mental state regulates good health and a happy pup. Things like playing with them and simple enrichments are always our goals to get those gears spinning! A key reminder for me is that your pups will be welcomed under my wing the saftey and happiness of your pup is just as important to you as my dogs are to me! I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule! I take into precautions of our surroundings, I specifically look out for triggering situations according to your dog or others. I take the extra precautions such as double checking where your pet is going and more than likely watching them every moment I can ! The safety of your pet is my priority I am dog CPR certified and understand the extra measures to attending to elderly or even puppies! I have worked in a dog facility where I inherited specific precautions according to breed!

Sirena was absolutely incredible with my ladies! I received daily communication and photo updates, which completely eased my nerves while I was away. She followed all feeding instructions to the letter and treated the ladies like family. I returned home to very happy, relaxed pups and a clean home. I will definitely be booking Sirena again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Roman Forest is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $67 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 Roman 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 Roman 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 Roman 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.
