About: When you trust your pet to a caregiver, experience matters. I offer a lifetime of dedication, counting 40 years of hands-on pet care and 5 years of dedicated professional caregiving. Throughout my life, I have opened my heart and home to all types of animals. This extensive timeline means I am deeply familiar with senior pet care, recognizing shifts in animal behavior, and providing a structured, secure environment. Why choose my services: * Expert Problem-Solver: I don't just watch pets; I understand them. I can manage complex diets, administer medications, and manage various behavioral triggers. * Peace of Mind: You get the reliability of a veteran professional who knows how to spot emergencies before they happen. * All Animals Welcome: I treat every dog, cat, bird, or small critter with the specialized respect they deserve. Pet care is my primary focus, not a side hobby. Because I am a dedicated pet caregiver, my schedule is highly flexible and built entirely around the security and routines of your animals.Drop-In Visits & Housesitting: Available morning, afternoon, evening, and overnights.Routine Consistency: I structure my routes so I can arrive at your home during your pet’s exact, preferred feeding or walking windows to keep their biological clocks perfectly on track.Last-Minute & Holidays: Because this is my full-time dedication, I offer excellent, reliable availability for holiday care, weekends, and short-notice bookings. Safety is integrated into everything I do. I understand that trust is earned, especially when you are welcoming someone into your home. Home & Yard Security Protocols: Every time I enter or leave, I execute a strict checklist: ensuring all doors are deadbolted, alarms are set, gates are latched, and windows are completely secured. Proactive Hazard Sweeps: I actively scan for hidden household dangers during my visits—checking for dropped human pills, toxic plants, unsecured trash, or toys that could become choking hazards. Visual Verification: I don't just tell you your pet is safe; I show you. You will receive real-time, high-quality photo updates showing fresh food, clean water bowls, and a happy pet.
“Kyleigh was so sweet and great with our dogs! She sent multiple photos and a note after each visit, which always puts me at ease! She also left us a sweet thank-you card and some treats for our dogs! I would highly recommend her!”

“Jonathan did a great job with our 2 cats. He was extremely punctual, tended to them, and was able to administer the meds we needed for our elderly cat. Your pets will be well taken care of, and we can't recommend him enough.”

“Tori was great with our three dogs and did everything we had asked for while we were out of town. She was responsive to any message we sent her and we would trust her to care for our dogs again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, and I really enjoy it. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes seniors, big dogs, small dogs, friendly, not friendly. I’ve also taken care of cats and other animals! I’m a student at Wofford College, which actually gives me a pretty flexible schedule plenty of time during the week to stop by for visits, walks, or feedings whenever your pet needs it. I’m also happy to stay overnight if that works better for you and your pet’s routine. Just let me know what you need and I’ll work around it! I’ll make sure to play with your pet and give them plenty of love and attention while I’m there. I’m happy to stay for however long you’d like so they get real socializing time. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll make it happen!
“Grace was super caring and patient with our two girls while we were away! Keeping up with 3 check-ins a day is not easy, but she made sure the pups got some free time. Definitely would recommend!”

“Frances (Grace) was great to agree to do a drop in visit on short notice and to come by and meet my fur babes beforehand. My dogs who can be standoffish took to Grace pretty quick! Appreciate that I felt totally comfortable with knowing Grace was going to be checking in on my my dogs while I was at work!!!!”

About: With two decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I genuinely love helping your furry friends stay happy, active, and loved while you're away. My services are more than just walks—they’re moments of joy, gentle play, positive reinforcement, and routines customized to each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup enjoys a brisk hike or a calm, sniff-filled stroll, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. You can trust me to keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. Providing loving and attentive care for senior pets and those with special medical needs. I am compassionate and skilled in administering medications, whether oral or injectable, and I am patient and gentle with pets facing mobility challenges. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while maintaining their routine and reducing any anxiety in your absence. Thanks to my flexible work-from-home schedule, I can cherish the opportunity to care for your pet in a more attentive and loving way. Being home most of the day means I can provide your pet with consistent potty breaks, engaging playtime, and comforting companionship. I can adjust my daily routine to meet your pet's unique needs, whether it's taking a mid-afternoon walk or sharing cozy cuddle moments on the couch. This flexibility allows me to nurture your pet’s well-being and meet their emotional and physical needs, which is so important for a happy, healthy life.

During their stay, they will be pampered with lots of affection, regular potty breaks, meals tailored to their needs, and enriching activities to keep their minds and bodies happy. I also believe in keeping you connected, so I send frequent updates with photos and videos, giving you peace of mind and confidence that your precious companion is enjoying a joyful, stress-free stay.

About: I’ve taken cared for dogs since I was a kid, sat since I was a teenager, and can provide your pup with the best care possible. I know dog training basics, so can keep up any training regimen you’re working on. I’m happy to give frequent walks, and even runs for energetic pups if needed. I also don’t work a normal 9-5, so your Fido will never be along for an entire day. I work part-time early mornings, every day, so for sitting I’m never gone for more than 5 hours. For daytime services I’m available anytime after 10am. I always ensure consistent scheduling for feedings and outings. I’m always early for walks and drop-ins, so no need to worry about flakiness. Glad to adhere to any other instructions, be they training related, feeding and care, or whatever else your pup needs. For energetic pups I’m happy to go for runs as well.

If you don’t already have nail trimmers just tell me and I can bring my own (I also have a dremel if your dog can tolerate it) Special needs: my own dog has seizures so I’m able to take care of any older/special needs dogs to make sure that they can get around okay and live life to their fullest! Playtime: Playtime is so important! I’ll always have time to play with your pets and provide them mental stimulation so they don’t get bored Currently I am working part time and will always be up front if there are certain hours I will not be able to sit for your pets if you book me for an overnight stay. Aside from that I do have doctors appointments every now and then, but these take no longer than 2 hours on average (usually closer to an hour) and will also notify you if an appointment falls on a pet sitting day. Other than work and doctors I am free! If any conflicts come up I will notify you well in advance to make you aware and try to give the best care possible Updates: I will text you updates during the day/at the end of the day as well as photos of your furry friends to ensure that everything is going smoothly and you’re in the know! Outside time: I will happily play with your dogs outdoors if you have a fenced in backyard or take the dogs on walks if that is preferred

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,467 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West 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.

- 90% 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.
