“Jane watched our fur babies for the first time, while we went to a concert. She was excellent! She has a calm demeanor, which is perfect for our little loves. Our little girl takes medication, which is very important to be given on time. We also feed our babies a food that has to be prepared a special way with supplements added and Jane was great! We checked in on our cameras a few times to make sure everything was going great and the babies were very comfortable with her! We will definitely use Jane in the future to come to our home. and watch our fur babies. Thank you again, Jane!”
“Jada was absolutely excellent! Jada provided outstanding care for our sweet fur baby. Her detailed updates with photos and videos were incredibly reassuring and did 100% justice to her fantastic service. She stayed in our home and made us feel completely at ease. I’ll admit I was nervous after a previous bad cat sitting experience, so I left extensive notes about our pet’s care and routine. Jada wasn’t fazed by this at all and completely understood our concerns about having a stranger in our home. Her professionalism and genuine understanding put us right at ease. We really enjoyed having Jada care for our pet and can’t wait to have her back for our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“Kimberly took excellent care of our home and pets while we were away for 8 days. It gave us peace of mind to know that she was watching over things while we were away. Our dog loved her, honestly I don’t even think she realized that we were gone. Kimberly sent us photos and updates about our dog and bird every day, which was reassuring to our children. Kimberly also took care of our mail and packages and watered our plants. She left our home tidy and we are very appreciative of her services. We will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Gloria! I graduated from Penn foster last year to become a Veterinary Technician and I’m taking my VTNE to become a licensed veterinary technician in October and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in both hospital and clinical settings. I specialize in providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or medical awareness. My background includes assisting with procedures, monitoring recovery, supporting medication routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Because of my experience, I’m especially confident caring for: • Senior pets • Pets with anxiety or special needs • Pets requiring medications or close observation • Multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, providing lots of attention and comfort, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. My goal is simple — to provide reliable, professional care so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart, yes I can give medications but I don’t know how to give insulin to diabetic patients. ✔ 8 years veterinary experience ✔ Comfortable with medications & special care ✔ Experienced with senior and anxious pets ✔ Strong attention to safety and behavior changes ✔ Reliable communication with daily updates ✔ Calm, patient, and dependable I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm for dog sitting, dog walking, or house sitting and if have cats I can take care of them as well. I plan to dog or cat sit at the comfort of the owners home but if they need to come to my home for any reason my home is fenced and I do have kennels and extra food and water and I do have two dogs who are super sweet and kind. I also have a cat and he gets along with dogs and cats if you need me to cat sit your cat at my home I can do that as well
“Melinda was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for our 3 large pups post-spay, giving them gentle, attentive care every single day. Melinda sent daily pictures and detailed report cards so we always knew how our girls were doing, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Melinda even helped improve our puppies’ leash manners with one-on-one attention and patience — such a thoughtful touch we didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Elizabeth agreed to take on a last minute request to take care of my old gal one day before leaving on a 10-day trip. Elizabeth stopped by to get acclimated with my dog, and despite my dog being hesitant, Elizabeth agreed to take the job. She was able to stop by daily and provide daily updates via text on how things were going, and it was great to hear how my dog would begin to open up to her as the days went on. I’m glad my dog began to open up and would love to use elizabeth again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

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 :)
Danielle took amazing care of our puppy Henry while we were out of town a few days. She went way above and beyond to make sure Henry was happy and comfortable without us. She took him on lots of walks, played with him, and kept us up to date with texts and pictures that made us feel like he was in great hands while we were away. We will for sure have Danielle care for Henry again and recommend her to anyone needing quality care for their pup.

FAQs for House Sitting - Roman Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Roman Forest on Rover is $59.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,765 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roman Forest. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roman Forest. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
