“Jennifer to great care of all my babies even with the changes they gave her lol. Felt great knowing they were taken care of in their own homes and loved seeing pictures of them while we were away!”
“My cats really loved her. She took time to give pets and cuddles, and they appreciated it. I appreciate it. Except my cats might not want me back now. Thanks, Amber!”
About: I am a farm girl from way back, and have been around animals of all kinds since I was a child. As my children were growing up we always had cats and a dog in the house. I have a big fenced yard that allows animals to get plenty of outside time. I would be honored to take care of your fur babies while you are away. I have a flexible job so I can fit my walks with dogs or feedings when needed . On weekends I will build my schedule around the care that I am providing . I am home most of the time on weekends, and will be happy to incorporate your pet into our family. I have a big fenced yard at my house which allows for exercise and just being outside when boarding at my house . If I come to your house , I will take care of animals as instructed , and observe to make sure all is well in the home .
“Jill was awesome! She made an instant connection with our dog. She shared great photos of our pup having a good time. We felt comfortable with her immediately and the entire time.”
“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.”
About: My combined experience from growing up with pets as well as pet sitting for others, makes me comfortable and reliable when it comes to caring for them and satisfying their needs. I have strong sense of responsibility and the ability to follow instructions, while providing loving care for your pets. I do have a part time job, so my schedule/availability will change from week to week as I don't get my schedule for the job until the week of. If I stay overnight at a house, I make sure to be on high alert to listen and interpret what I think the animal needs. I also make sure to be respectful of the household's boundaries and rules as well as taking responsibility of the safety (locking doors and etc.) of the house.
“Ryan did a superb job watching our fur baby. She is conscientious and he warmed to her right away. We felt confident that Ryan was giving him great care and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals at home and raised my own after college. I grew up caring for neighbors pets and use to watch clients dogs during my summer vacation in college. I also volunteered at shelters over the years. I am currently staying with family to help out after a minor surgery. I have a flexible schedule at this time. In the future I may have other jobs come up. I prefer to stay where the animal is most comfortable, their own home. I also offer visits verse overnight stays for clients comfort. My priority is to make sure your precious pet has the proper care while you are away some you can be focused on your trip knowing everything is good at home.
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.

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!”
“Isabella did a very nice job. What I appreciate most is when someone takes the time to pet and play with my guys, which is not an easy task given how shy they are, but she took the time and effort to put on cat TV, play with a laser and help them warm up to her. She also left detailed notes, which is always nice. I am very pleased with her work:)”
“I had very little cell service when I was on my trip but it was really nice and reassuring that Makayla was still very attentive and communicative about our pets. I get really anxious being away from them especially with no cell service! But I very much appreciate the pics and communications from Makayla. I def recommended and even book her again for any future trips! Thanks for being affordable and just overall amazing. My family and I appreciate you!”
About: Lifelong pet owner and animal intuitive. I have worked with all types of pets providing assistance with special care in addition to walks and general care. Care only provided in your home. At this time I do not have a pet companion but miss them dearly. Once I have an established routine in the area I will be in search of another furry walking companion. I am relocating back to the WNC / Landrum area after being a nomad for 5 years. I am available throughout the Saluda, Hendersonville and Landrum area and am doing human caregiving throughout the WNC area. If your dog agrees I am open to taking them on local hikes. Pet care in your home only; I have worked as a house sitter/pet sitter in NC for several years in addition to personal caregiver for 15+ years.
About: I’m not just someone who pauses to care for your pet; my love for animals goes beyond measure. I’m committed to ensuring that the time I spend with them exceeds all expectations. I’m a graphic designer - most work I do is from home. So my schedule is very flexible and on the go! I can work and sit in while watching your animal! 😀 I have a dog myself - she is hardly ever caged and is trained to stay out and behave accordingly. She is very energetic. But LOVES people and other animals.
“Ines did drop in visits with our new adult dog, Ducky, who was working on potty training. And also our other dog, Fievel. She followed the instructions on how to take both of our dogs out to potty in a way that was safe for the two of them! She gave detailed follow ups after each drop in”

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 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.
