“Sonya is a star! 🌟 I am so happy with her care and support of my fur babies. She was punctual, attentive and so warm and loving of my kitties. All directions were followed purrfectly, and she even brought a brushy glove of her own to love up on my cats with. I am super super pleased and will definitely be looking to request her to help us again in the future. I highly recommend Sonya for reliable, caring and loving pet services!! You will not be disappointed! 🐾🐈⬛💟💯☮️🐈🐾”
About: A Lifetime of Loving Pets 🐾 I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and understanding their unique personality , routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind when you travel. You want to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if they’re okay. That’s why I provide the same level of care I would want for my own pets-attentive, dependable,personalized, and genuinely loving. I understand the importance of quick updates and photos to put your mind at ease. I commit to sending you a morning and evening photo and update each day. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pets is in caring hands and receiving quality care while you’re away. You should be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, safe, and exceptionally well cared for. ❤️ Pickup and drop-off available within 5 driving miles of my home for an additional fee, subject to scheduling. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, hands on care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s keeping their normal routine, taking dogs out for walks and playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m able to be present and attentive rather than a quick visit-they get genuine companionship and consistent care throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Comfort 🐾 I take your pets safety and well-being seriously. I’m careful about following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I believe the little things matter-secure doors and gates, keeping food and medications properly managed, being aware of your pets surroundings, and paying attention to changes in their behavior or routine. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, someone responsible and attentive is looking after what matters to you most.
“Natalie did a great job of taking care of my 3 pups and kitties while I was away for the weekend. She was very caring and communicative, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Annie is a wonderful pet sitter. My two nervous dogs fell in love with her immediately and she has been a huge help to me in managing their anxiety and training issues. She is flexible, loving, and patient with the dogs and can be firm when she needs to be. Annie has been doing drop-in visits at my house and is punctual, friendly, responsible and professional. I am happy to recommend Annie's services to any other prospective clients - she is a delight to work with!”
About: Available for lots of belly scratches & walks!! Previous experience with drop ins at a boarding facility while the owner would go out of town. I have always had dogs and believe they are truly man’s best friend. My sweet senior chihuahua passed away in 2025 and a few months ago my beloved shih Tzu passed away. We are not ready to get another dog just yet, so we would be honored to love up on your pup in the mean time. My dogs have always been the highlight of my husband & I’s life. I am a registered nurse, herbalist and student of homeopathy. My husband works from home and I work outside of the home on Mondays, Wednesdays & Thursdays. I would love to chat with you regarding what I can offer and how I can help you and your dog(s)! My house has a fenced in back yard and I am close to a nature trail/walking path. My schedule is pretty flexible as of right now. Either my husband or I are usually home. If your dog is staying at my home, they will not be left unattended. We tailor our schedule to the dogs! I have a fully fenced in back yard and great places to walk in my neighborhood. I do not leave my dogs unattended while outside, so I can guarantee that I will always have eyes on your dog when outside.
About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles, three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.
“Nancy is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She genuinely cares about my pets, and she’s always right on top of things, taking care of whatever they need. I can go away and never worry about their anxiety levels while I’m gone, because I can tell how much they love her.”
“Secret was great. She came over to meet the animals before our trip. She sent pictures of the dogs and spent extra time with the little ones. I will definitely be using Secret again.”
“Brandy was the best Petsitter ever! She gave both my rat terrier Annie and my kitty Lucy lots of love and attention, the pictures she took say a thousand words. She is the first sitter I’ve had who truly cares about Lucy and understands my often shy and quiet cat. They were both very happy when we came home, and were obviously well taken care of. The best thing were the detailed notes Brandy sent me, telling me what they did together and how things were going at each visit. I’ll definitely hire her again!”
About: I have cared for friends and families pets for years now, from big dogs to kittens! There is nothing I’d love more than to meet your animals and help you give them the best life possible! I will be completely respectful of your space and your pet’s unique needs :) I recently graduated from Cosmetology school and am working part-time as a hairstylist in Nevada city! My availability is open on Monday and Tuesday (10am-8pm)- or after 4pm on Wednesday-Friday :) Your pets safety is my top concern! I am very understanding and careful of pets that are a flight risk and need to be kept inside. I am trustworthy and will abide by any rules you may have for your home or animals!
“We are very pleased and so appreciative of Katelyn and Brock. Rhiannon and Shadow were well taken care. I got daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away for 5 days. GREAT people! Would definitely ask them to watch my cats again.”
“Nicole took care of my fur babies so well and even cleaned after one of them when he had an accident indoors and we were 5 hours away. My dog is difficult to handle because he is high energy and most sitters have been unable to keep up with him but Nicole is amazing! 10/10”
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been cat sitting for a friend for the passed 3 years. I can handle giving medication and large dogs. I'm a Preschool Teacher during the day looking to help where I can. 😊 I work Monday through Friday, however I'm off fairly early at 3:30pm everyday so afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free. I have no pets anymore so they will have all the attention! There is a lovely creek that runs through my complex for walks and plenty of toys and energy! And for the older furr babies they are more than welcome on the furniture for cuddles. I also have treats if they are okay for their diet 😊 I have experience with giving medication as well if need be.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and pets since as long as I can remember, whether that be my own or my friends and family! I personally have a dog of 14, with a few health issues (including joint issues and blindnesss) so I’m very comfortable and understands with other dogs with those issues, and how to handle and take care of them well! With also having dogs my whole life I have experience some experience puppies, and while I’m not trained myself, I do remember some tips and tricks for starting their training! I’m currently only in school for a week days a week, so I have plenty of time to drop in and play with your dogs, or take them in a long walk to tire them out ! I have sat dogs with needs like kennels, and special food times and needs, so I’m understanding with their routines and how they spend time when I’m not with them.

Natalie was super sweet, and though one of our cats took a while to warm up to her (unlike his brother), he came around, as she showed in a pic of him enjoying a head-scratching. I really appreciated the daily photos. She followed the written instructions I left, and any adjustments we had to make to drop-in times were minor. Next time we need her, I think a morning and an early evening drop-in would be more in keeping with the cats' current feeding schedule. I hope we can work that out with her, whenever that happens. Thanks again, Natalie!
We were scrambling last minute due to a medical issue. Paola stepped up quickly—helping us through a challenging time. We arrived back home with two happy kitties waiting for us. Paola was professional, kind, caring and communicative . We are very thankful for her and heartily recommend her to anyone desiring pet care.
Cydney was amazing with my puppy! She went above and beyond what I asked or expected, and I am so appreciative! My pup was instantly comfortable with her and in the short span of time that she dropped in, she was able to feed and exercise Pickles so that she got a satisfactory break from her crate. I also made a mistake in the initial booking and Cydney was flexible and worked with me, which I again am so appreciative for. I would recommend booking Cydney for any animal care that you need, she’s awesome!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,203 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sherwood Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sherwood Forest. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
