“Addie was amazing! Our pup and Addie had an eventful week with a large thunderstorm that brought multiple house/yard issues. Addie was calm the whole time helping not only our pup but us deal with multiple situations from afar. Our pup was clearly well cared for even during multiple house issues. We cannot thank Addie enough for the car of the pup, but also the willingness to help above and beyond original plans due to unexpected house issues. She’s the best - cannot recommend her enough!”
“Mikayla was a great house and dog sitter! She came by the house ahead of time to talk and meet the boys and we immediately felt comfortable with her in our home. While she was taking care of the dogs she sent photos and texts regularly so we felt confident that they were being cared for well. She gave them treats, took them outside for playtime, and spent lots of time cuddling. We'll be happy to book Mikayla again in the future!”
“Shanice was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She house-sat for us and was reliable, caring, and very responsible throughout her stay. She communicated quickly and consistently, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I had to extend my trip by one extra day, and she was incredibly flexible and kind enough to accommodate the change. She also went above and beyond by coming back to my home after some unexpected logistics glitches to make sure everything was taken care of. It’s difficult to find someone you can truly trust with your home and your pets, but Shanice was amazing! I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. For the past 11 months, I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job has taught me how to safely handle group play, recognize canine body language, administer basic care, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾
“Rosie was so sweet and considerate! She communicated consistently while I was gone and sent reassuring updates and photos so I felt better about being away! She was also respectful of my home and my wishes while I was gone! I couldn’t recommend her more. She even came to meet me and the dogs before my trip for an added comfort.”
About: I have experience with puppies and dogs I have had 2 dogs before a pug and a German Shepard I love taking walks and being outside! I’m a college student but most of my classes are from 9am-12pm so I’m free the rest of the day for whatever your pet needs. I have my own car so I drive a lot and can do homework from my computer. My cats are my number one priority keeping them safe is everything. We always make sure to check for our babies when leaving the house or doing laundry. I’m very careful when it comes to animal Saftey and making sure they are the happiest they can ever be when I’m taking care of them.
“Keara did an amazing job taking care of our boy - providing regular updates and pics showing how happy he was with her while we were away. We had travelled abroad and knowing he was receiving such high quality care provided us with great comfort even though we always miss him terribly. I also wanted to add during our initial meet/greet meeting Winston and us, she was very conscientious of knowing all the intimate details needed for his care and asked real good questions. She has real good instincts and connected with him immediately and we knew we made the right choice in hiring her. We are extremely happy and grateful to have her as our pet sitter.”
“Christa responded promptly to our booking request and we set up a meet and great prior to our trip. She watched our 2 small dogs at our home and did a wonderful job. She sent photos and updates each day. We plan to use her again in the future!”
“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
About: I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and routines. I focus on safety, patience, clear communication, and making every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and personalized care to ensure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In both my home and clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine, provide close supervision, ensure access to fresh water, maintain a clean environment, and give plenty of love and attention. I also carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe.
About: We have done weekend animal care on a farm which included dog care in which we stayed at the house to walk and feed as well as walks 2 per day. We give a full quality workout to your dog because of the benefits we get with your dog too. This means your dog will get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per walk, guaranteed. my husband is available in the mornings up until 2 while I can take over in the late afternoon and evenings during the week and both are available on weekends. being a MCPS teacher I also can work during holidays as well. I can be there overnights during the weekends keep ing a close eye on your pet's needs giving time for walks and undivided attention.
“If there was a way to give more than five stars I would give all of them to Relle. Not only did she take great care of my pets, I feel that she developed a good bond with them as well. I received wonderful updates everyday with photos while I was away and I felt my home was in great hands.”
“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”
About: I personally have 4 cats and have taken care of them for more than 10 years. I've also taken care of my friends' dogs. They relied on me to feed and take good care of them. I'm a junior in college and have plenty time over the summer. I'm available taking care of pets overnight. I prefer weekdays but sometimes I can also do weekends. There is a lake near my house and I can take them for a walk at there. I have a deck to ensure their safety. My family loves animals, which keeps them company.
“Sharon was great with Rosie! She sent lots of updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Sharon and will definitely be contacting her for future boarding/dog sitting.”
“We needed a house sitter to watch our 2 dogs and 2 cats on short notice. Wordda was an exceptional choice! She did a great job with our pets and gave us peace of mind that our house was left in good hands. Wordda is a personable young lady that communicated consistently throughout our trip with both text messages and pics. We highly recommend Wordda and will be using her services in the future!!”
About: 🐾 Professional Dog Dad. Part-Time Treat Dealer. Full-Time Dog Lover. 🐾 Proud dog dad to Luna, my Husky, and Pablo, my Goldendoodle—which means my daily life already includes zoomies, dramatic sighs, endless sniff breaks, surprise tug-of-war matches, and pretending I don’t notice when someone is begging for a second treat. 😂 I love dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Got a high-energy pup who wants to conquer the neighborhood? I’m ready. A professional sniffer who needs to investigate every mailbox and blade of grass? We’ve got time. A certified couch potato who just wants some company and belly rubs? Say no more. 🐶 I know how much trust it takes to put your fur baby in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give Luna and Pablo. My promise: happy pups, tired paws, plenty of pictures, and at least one conversation where I talk to your dog like they understand every word. ❤️🐾 I currently work from home/remotely,so it allows me to be mobile. And schedule playtime and walking throughout the day. I made be gone up to an hour for client visits. I do not board in my own home.I care for pets by working in an area that I can keep an eye on them and can give them belly rubs on some breaks. I usually take standard lunch breaks and am able to walk/play and address any needs for your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildcat Forest
Hannah was fabulous with our dogs! She texted photos and updates every day, and was very responsive to texts. Hannah administered medication twice daily to one of our dogs which is not an easy thing to do. This was the first time Hannah stayed with our dogs. We will definitely use her again!
Nicole did a great job watching Finn! He had a recent injury and had to be watched a little closer than usual and we felt extremely comfortable with him under Nicole’s care. She provided plenty of updates and pictures, and we were able to see just how much fun he was having with her during their time together! Additionally the apartment was left spotless, which was way more than we could have ever expected! It was clear Finn and our home were both treated exceptionally well!
By far the best pet sitter I have ever hired! Andiela is extremely professional, clear in communication, and very thorough. She was available on short notice and treated my pets as if they were her own. She didn't just walk and feed them; she spent quality time playing with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. I came home to a clean house and to very happy and relaxed pets. A+ service!! Andiela cared for my cat and dog and took the time to know both of them and their behaviors well, gaining the ability to bond with both my shy cat and, initially anxious, then energetic dog. I could go on and on about how great she was. Her energy was amazing. I would definitely recommend and rebook her myself in the future! Thanks Andiela.
We were so happy that Sylvia could come and stay with our dogs for the holiday week while we traveled! She sent regular photo updates with lots of snuggles and play time, which we loved seeing. She also went above and beyond and got them little Christmas gifts and cleaned the sheets before she left. We will definitely be reaching out in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wildcat Forest is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wildcat Forest walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wildcat Forest maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wildcat Forest choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
