About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life, and I absolutely adore animals. I have cared for my own pets, my friends’ dogs and cats, and I will take care of yours as if they were my own. I am reliable and punctual, and I will give your pet all the attention and loving they deserve- walks, playing, petting, feeding. I am capable of caring for elderly pets as well, as I have. 13-year old dog myself. I can administer oral and topical medications.

About: Hi! i did private boarding for 14 years but only want to keep 1 or 2 from same family at a time since I'm retired. Guests are only crated when I am away from home. Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.
“She did a great job getting to know our pup and his routines with a meet and greet prior to the first walking. She was communicative throughout and on time. She did a great job with him.”
About: I have a strong passion for pet care because animals rely on us for their health,safety, and happiness. Whether it’s feeding them properly, making sure they get exercise, or noticing when something seems wrong, pet care requires attention and compassion. Helping animals feel comfortable and cared for is something I find meaningful and fulfilling. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pets. I don’t ever work past 4 so always available after that:) I have a lot of trusted owners that I have now and hoping to expand and meet more people and pets. I am very trustworthy and honest. I will help your pets feel comfortable even when you aren’t there!
“Brooklynn has been absolutely great with our sweet rescue puppy who requires a loving but strong hand, just alone due to her size (great Pyrenees) and energy level! Brooklynn kept me informed with notes and pictures and went above and beyond. We definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to find a trustworthy dogsitter!”

About: I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, so I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm patient with shy or nervous dogs and happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I also provide regular photo and video updates, so you'll always know how your pup is doing while you're away. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved until you're back home. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Because I'm home most of the time, your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I enjoy keeping a consistent routine and will do my best to follow your dog's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home during their stay. In my home, pets are treated like family. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having companions. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. I'll follow your pet's usual feeding schedule, provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of love and attention. If your dog prefers a quieter environment or needs special care, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs and routine.

“Sara was available on such short notice and really saved the day! I was delayed getting home after a flat and knew my pooch might not make it until then. Easy to communicate with and got the job done!”
“I wanted to reach out and thank Abby for being so diligent about keeping us updated whenever her schedule changes. We truly appreciate her communication and the care she provides. We are entrusting both of our dogs to Abby's care. One of them is particularly sensitive due to his age and general nature. I have been genuinely worried about his well-being. We would not trust just anyone with our pets. We have a great deal of confidence in Abby and feel very comfortable having them in her care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,433 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Forest. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Forest.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Forest. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
