About: As a lifelong animal lover and a dog owner myself, caring for pets comes naturally to me. My own puppy, who my partner and I rescued two years ago struggled with anxiety. She taught me how to read body language and adjust my approach which helps to meet each furbabies specific needs. Whether your pup needs high energy play, extra patience, or a gentle low stress walk, I will give the care they need to feel safe and happy! I’m looking forward to helping out local dog owners! My availability fluctuates so just send me a request and ill see what i can do! I naturally take daily evening walks to stay active, so having a furry friend join me would be a joy. If you need reliable and attentive help with your pup during those times I'd love to connect! Your pets happiness and safety mean everything to me! Whenever I'm caring for your furbaby I will treat them just like my own! Ill stick strictly to their usual routines for meals, meds, and playtime so they feel comfortable and loved. On walks, I'm super mindful of secure leashes and keeping a close eye on our surroundings. You can always count on me for cute photos and updates on how our visit went and leaving your home safe, locked, and tidy!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was about 10, so caring for them has always felt natural to me. Growing up, I helped walk, feed, and bathe the family and friends dogs, and over the years I’ve watched pets for relatives while they were on vacation, making sure they felt loved while their owners were away. Now I have two dogs of my own, Chloe and Remi, who I care for every single day. From feeding and playtime to just keeping them happy and comfortable, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work part-time about three days a week and I’m a college student, but I come home on weekends and during holidays, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pets. Even on the days I work, my shifts are usually early mornings for 4–5 hours, so I’m free for afternoon, evening, and nighttime care. My schedule can be flexible and I’m able to adjust as needed, so I’m happy to work around what your pet needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow their normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and respect, just like I want my own pets to be treated. My motto is “treat others how you want to be treated,” and I bring that same care and kindness to every animal I look after.

About: I have taken care of friends, colleagues and neighbors pets over the past 20 years. Some of my residents would not trust their pets to anyone else (so I was told). Pet care would fit into my daily or weekly routine just nicely at this time. I was laid off recently and what better ways to spend my days than with animals. I have two big dogs and a cat but my daughter lives with me so I can come and care for your pets in your home while my pets are taken care of by my daughter.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with a degree in biology and a focus on environmental science, I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets. From turtles and snakes, to fish, dogs, and cats - I've researched and worked with all types of animals throughout my career. Our family home has always been the go-to place for friends and family to bring their beloved pets when they need care. I absolutely adore getting to know each animal's unique personality and caring for them as if they were my own. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for all kinds of breeds, from Cane Corsos and Labradors to Labradoodles, Shih Tzu, and our own 10-year-old Morkie, October. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the meticulous, personalized attention I provide to every pet in my care. I understand that each furry (or scaly!) friend has their own needs, quirks, and preferred routine. I'm committed to maintaining that consistency, whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, taking frequent walks, or providing plenty of playtime and cuddles. While I don't have specialized training in puppy care or senior pet support, I have ample experience caring for pets at all stages of life. Puppies and aging companions require extra patience and attention, and I'm adept at meeting their evolving needs with care and empathy. You can trust that your pet will receive the personalized attention they deserve, regardless of their age or stage of life. Whether you need a sitter for a quick errand or an extended vacation, I'll treat your pet like family. I'd be honored to provide the personalized, attentive care that will give you peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in the best of hands. Please don't hesitate to book me for your next pet sitting needs! As a college-level tutor who primarily works from home, I have the time and flexibility to provide exceptional care for your pets. My work-from-home setup allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine, and with complete availability on weekends and during the summer, I'm well-equipped to accommodate your vacation schedules with overnight pet sitting. You can trust that your furry friends will receive the utmost care in my hands. The safety and wellbeing of your pets is my top priority when they are in my care. Whether I'm watching over them in my own home or tending to them at your residence, you can rest assured they will be in a secure, comfortable environment with constant supervision. At my home, I have a decent-sized backyard with a small fenced in area shaded by trees - the perfect outdoor oasis for your furry friends to play and explore safely. And with just one small, elderly dog of my own who likes to keep to herself, your pets will have ample individual attention and a calm, quiet space to relax. My ability to work remotely means I'm able to maintain a watchful eye on your animals at all times, providing them with the care and companionship they need throughout the day. For pets staying at your home, I'll work closely with you to understand their precise routines, preferences, and any special needs. I'll arrive prepared and adhere strictly to your pet care instructions, ensuring a seamless transition and a stress-free experience for your beloved companions. You can trust that I'll treat your home with the utmost care and respect, keeping it clean and tidy just as I would my own. Whether in my own residence or yours, your pets' safety is of the utmost importance. With secure, comfortable environments, personalized attention, and constant supervision, you can have complete confidence that your furry friends are in excellent hands.

She is patient with him and takes great care to make sure he’s safe and secure. Best of all, we never have to worry about our pups on the days she’s scheduled to walk them. We’re so grateful!

Richard took Ted on two separate walks this evening, and Ted loved both. He is punctual, detail oriented and very dependable, as well as friendly and easy to communicate with. He also took lots of great pictures, which I really appreciated. A neighbor even ran into him while he was out with Ted and told me how great he was, too. He’s sure to become an all star dog walker in North Old Town. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forest Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Heights is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

As of November 2026, there are 15,722 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest Heights. 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 Forest Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forest Heights after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Forest Heights. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
