“Ashley was amazing! She got my little guy to come out of his shell and exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful to have found someone trustworthy to check in on my cat while I am away.”
“Griffin was happy and we were worry free. Will surely engage Mac again to look after our dog Griffin when we go on trips. She communicated very well through the whole process (updates and pictures), loves dogs and knows how to take care of a dog. She always enquired if we needed anything else to help out since we were away and that was very thoughtful and reassuring to us. Our dog was relaxed and appeared happy when we got back home. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years, being my own, family/friends, and others. Experienced with small to large breeds dogs with elder care experience including walking/standing restrictions, special diet needs, and medication distribution. I'm currently studying online courses and can be available most hours and days for pet care with little restrictions. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, treating them as if they were my own. My main goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize anxiety while you are away. I strictly follow all feeding, medication, and exercise guidelines, and I provide photo updates after each visit for your total peace of mind.
“Wow! Such a great experience with Jill and Eric. They took such great care of my cat. Sent multiple pics and gave the best commentary! Arrived promptly for each visit. Really great people. Thanks so much. We will definitely use them again!”
About: Friends and family have depended on me since i was 13 to look after their fur babies, as well as taking care of my own my whole life! I have experience with all different breeds and ages as well as medication administration. I work as a hairstylist and regularly get off around 3/4 when i work. I have a semi inconsistent schedule and love to help where i can! I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while caring for them in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, reliable hands!
About: I have owned several dogs (I don't at the moment, but I can't wait to get a furry friends when my living situation permits!), from when I was a child up until a short time ago. I have several years experience working in kennels, as well as dog walking, sitting and boarding for friends, family and foster dogs, respectively. I also have volunteer experience at local shelters, including Pet Pals in St. Petersburg. Your dog is in safe hands!
“Michelle did a fantastic job of taking care of our German while we were out of town. She was able to handle a large dog who basically had no leash etiquette and was able to give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Would highly recommend!!”
About: I am a dedicated and passionate animal lover who is eager to provide the best care to your pet! :) With enthusiasm and reliability, I’m confident that I can be the perfect pet sitter for your furry family. I specialize in providing personalized attention and love to each pet I care for. I’m patient and understanding of their individual needs, routines, and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I also have a deep understanding of the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs (I’ve owned family senior dogs as well as raised my own from puppies), allowing me to provide the best care for them. With a flexible schedule, I easily integrate pet care into my daily or weekly routine. I prioritize their well-being, adjusting my schedule to offer consistent attention, exercise, and care. I am available during various hours, accommodating different schedules and ensuring pets receive the time and care they need. I ensure the pets stick to their usual routines to minimize stress. This includes regular feeding, walking, playtime, and rest. I also keep the living spaces clean and safe. If any special care is needed, like medication or specific diets, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions precisely. I also provide regular updates to the owner!
“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”
“Denene was spectacular! Our old lady, Sophie, loved her, too. She spent most of the visits on Denene's lap. Her communication and attention to the details were excellent. I will most certainly book Denene in the future.”
About: Hi there! I'm a huge animal lover and would love to help care for your pets! I have two large dogs of my own, and have fostered dogs/puppies in the past. I also have experience with other animals (horses, chickens, and other farm animals) so I'm happy to care for any other animals you may have. I always send frequent updates and pics of your animals as I care for them, and promise to treat them as if they were my own! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to the care of your pets! I'm available weekends and weekdays, and am happy to make morning, afternoon, and/or evening visits. When watching pets in your home, they will have my full attention. I have experience caring for pets with specific medical needs, and can assure that I will thoroughly follow directions for any complex needs your pet may require. I always take the time to ensure that your pet is happy, safe, and has the time to play and get some energy out. And lastly, I promise to be extremely respectful of your space and home!
“Our cat, Steve, always loves when Susan comes to visit him while we are away! Susan is always on time for our scheduled visits, she remembers all the little details, and sends extremely detailed updates after each visit, including several pictures. Having Susan watch Steve always gives us peace of mind.”
“I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.”
“Thomas is a fantastic pet sitter and we’re so happy to have found him! He provided great care for our two cats and spent extra time letting them get to know him. We appreciated the thoughtful updates and pictures after every visit and how he spent extra time getting to know their personalities. It was so wonderful to have peace of mind while traveling knowing that our kitties were in good hands. Highly recommend Thomas if you are looking for a pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Town Forest
Kelly was great. First time meeting Jack and she trusted him to show her the way on his evening walk. He’s been a little more Velcro than usual since I started shift work and he was noticeably calmer when I got home after Kelly’s drop-in. Will definitely request her again.
Once again Jennifer and her little assistant were awesome taking care of Madeleine, the kitty. They played with her and kept her occupied at every visit and even got her to eat her food (which is very hard to do). You will have the very best sitter when you use Jennifer and I will always go to her first for my animal sitting needs. I give her 10 plus stars!!!!!
Misty is professional and you can tell she loves taking care of animals and treats them like they’re her own. She took care of our little chihuahua while we went away for a trip and she checked on him on the times we requested. Played with our little guy and let him burn his energy. She respected our home and she sent several pics with every visit! My kids loved seeing those pictures. I would definitely book Misty again! She was fantastic. ⭐️
Kristen is wonderful!! Communicates clearly, quick to respond, dependable. She doesn't just take our puppy outside to potty, but instead goes the extra mile to play with him so he can get energy out while we're at work. I can't say enough positive things about her-- she's great!
Mara provided exceptional care for our 2 dogs and keep us updated with pictures and pertinent details! She also was able to assist us with short notice. We highly recommend Mara and will definitely look into booking her again. Thanks Mara and have a great day! 😁

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Town Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,794 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Town 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 Town Forest. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
