About: Hello! Thank you for taking interest. I am an animal lover who is trying to make some extra money doing something I care about. I've been housesitting for about 4-5 years for mostly dogs and cats, but I have had the occasional snake or fish, even a pig once! I'm very excited to meet you and your pets! I work 9-5 Mon-Thur and I have half days usually ending around 2 on Fridays. I usually will have time on my lunch break to come home and check on my own pups and make lunch so I can guarantee pets will be well looked after. I am always willing to take dogs on walks and hikes or just play at home, whatever makes you most comfortable! I cannot have any more animals at my own house since we have two already we don't have the square footage for another, but I am available to come look after pets in your home! I love when clients leave, or text, a detailed list of what they expect of me when watching their pets, it always gives me the peace of mind that I'm taking the best care I can of them with the routines they are used to!
“Natalie was awesome! I came home to very happy cats even a thank-you note. Natalie was super reliable and communicative and totally helped me out with my last-minute request, for which I'm super grateful.”
“Sonya is amazing with my fur babies! I feel super blessed to have her help. She is caring, loving and takes her responsibilities very seriously. I feel 100% security knowing Sonya is coming to visit with my cats and taking care of them. She goes above and beyond the call of duty with the communication, photos and extra Love she shows my cats! I am SO STOKED with Sonya’s services and support and you will be too. ❤️🐈🐾🐈🐾🐈🐾❤️”
“Cydney did an amazing job watching our cats over the holiday. Cydney did great learning how to administer pills to one cat and feeding and cleaning up after both cats. She was very communicative with updates and on time with her drop ins and we appreciated coming home to a clean house and happy cats. Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Anna took excellent care of Bubba while we were away for a weekend. We came home to a happy, well-fed cat. The photos were great and we could tell he had a great time when she stopped by. Would recommend Anna anytime! Thanks!”
“Jordyn was great with our dogs and was available to take care of them and has offered to take them on walks on a weekly basis too. She is punctual, taking the task in hand seriously while being a great help. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats for my whole life. I can take your dog for walks and I can drop by and check on them, play with them, feed them, anything you need. I am definitely open to taking care of puppies as I have a puppy and kitten of my own, they are my pride and joy. Just know that you’re fur baby will be given excellent care as if they are my own. I work full-time, 7:30-5:30 Monday to Thursday. On Monday through Thursday I can care for your animals before 7AM and after 6PM. Friday through Sunday, I make up to three visits per client per day. The first visit is made between 6AM-8AM, the second visit is made between 12PM-2PM, and the last visit is made between 6PM-8PM. Walks during Monday-Thursday are done after 6PM unless otherwise agreed upon. Other than those days, walks are done either in the morning or evening, never in the afternoon to ensure it is not to hot for your animal. Unfortunately I do not provide service in my own home. All animals will be given care in their own home to ensure no stress or anxiety is provoked upon them from being in a new environment with new people/animals. Your animals safety, health, and well-being are my largest priorities. During walks, we will never be walking along busy roads/highways. Your animal will be leashed (as it is law in California) at all times and will never be taken into unsafe areas.
“Paola took such good care of our 15 year old kitty! Our house looked spotless as well, which I know wasn’t luck. Our kitty tends to struggle with hairballs! Paola spent at least 30 minutes on each visit, playing with the kitty and chasing away her loneliness. It’s so comforting to know that someone truly cares for your pet while you’re away on a trip. That’s how we felt about Paola.”
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.
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 full time as a CNA, my schedule is kinda wacky. I work PM shifts from 2:30pm-10:30pm, on a four on and two off rotation. In my own home I have reptiles and 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.
About: - I have owned a high needs husky for 8 years - I have cared for small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and senior dogs - I provide a level of care that goes above and beyond to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood. - I am very familiar with dogs' body language My schedule allows me flexibility to accommodate last minute bookings, overnight stays, extended day visits, or regular daily check-ins depending on what each pet needs. I prioritize the safety of pets at all times. I aim to follow each animals' set routine and will share photos and updates with pet owners so that you can trust that they are safe and cared for. I absolutely adore animals and will treat your animals as if they were my own. Walks: Every walk is tailored to your dog’s needs. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid known risks, and only walk dogs from the same household together unless approved by you. I make sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and fun, and will provide an update after every walk. Drop-In Visits: I ensure pets are provided with care and attention, have access to clean water, stick to their schedule meal times, have comfortable bedding, and regular bathroom breaks.

I ensure their safety by carefully monitoring doors, gates, and potential hazards and always leave your home as tidy as I found it. I provide updates and photos, so you can trust your pets are happy and well cared for in your absence.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood Forest
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!
Felicia was absolutely incredible! I was nervous because our dog does not usually like strangers, but Felicia's countenance and love of animals won our Pyraness over instantly. I am so very grateful to have found Felicia. She went above and beyond....she even came over at the last minute for a meet and greet as it was a last minute booking. Highly, highly recommend!!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,235 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sherwood Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sherwood Forest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
