About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had a golden growing up for 15 years and now have a dog of my own! I love going on long walks with dogs who need it, playing fetch, and giving lots of scritches and love! No dog is too small or too big for me. Happy to accommodate anything your pet needs! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work in VA and living MD so I’m really all over the map. I would prefer any time after 3 but can also come in the mornings with enough heads up. I do not have a fenced in back yard but do have a nice trail to walk on and get some energy out. I also have a lead in the backyard to keep the dogs safe and not escape if they would like to roam freely. My coonhound has been just fine with the set up! I also have a crate if preferred. My dog is friendly with others and loves other dogs!
“Autumn dropped in on my cat over a period of 10 days. She was great with the cat, observant of what the cat was eating, sent good photos, and even helped me water my plants. I definitely recommend.”
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
About: As a pet owner myself, of an energetic poodle, I understand the importance of maintaining open communication while your pet is in the care of another person. I work 100% remotely, which allows me the flexibility to cuddle, play, and care for your pet. I have a set schedule for walks but can also accommodate as needed. Pets are not allowed in my bedroom or bathroom in my home but are welcome to the rest of the home. They’ll also have their own room to safely sleep, play or relax.
“Quiana took great care of my cat for a week. She followed all instructions, kept me informed, and sent pictures every day. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter.”
About: Since 2019, I’ve been providing loving, reliable pet care with experience in dog sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and more. I bring high energy, patience, and genuine passion to every animal I care for. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior dog who just needs gentle companionship, I show up with consistency, love, and respect for their unique needs. Your pets are family—and I treat them like it. I’m a full-time caregiver with a flexible, free-range schedule—I don’t work a traditional 9 to 5. When I’m not cat or dog sitting, I’m usually babysitting, doing side gigs, or making deliveries with Uber Eats and DoorDash. My days are adaptable, which allows me to give plenty of attention, care, and time to the pets I’m responsible for. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and overnight stays based on what your pet needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and comfort. In my home, I keep the space cozy, pet-proofed, and welcoming with lots of love and supervision. In the client’s home, I respect the space and maintain their pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I send regular updates, photos, and always go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and cared for like family.
About: I worked at pet supermarket and petco for years with cats and dogs and many little animals in between. I have also had almost every animal you’d an think of marine fish freshwater, felines, canines, birds, reptiles, and amphibians either way they are all family Willing to work with you and help in anyway I can! Weekdays monday-Friday I work at Chick-fil-A 12:30-10:30 except Monday I’m off Weekends Saturday-Sunday I work at Chick-fil-A 4:00AM-1:00PM on Saturday and am off Sunday! If your pet needs pills medicine or just to be watched and played with and on weekends stayed with, I’m there for you and your family
“Savannah took such great care of my cat Zena while I was away on travel. She sent so many pictures and updates, and followed all my care instructions, it gave me peace of mind. Was very happy to see Zena so well taken care of. Will definitely book Savannah again for future sittings!”
About: I've always grown up with dogs, I've not only experience with taking care of family dogs but also walking family friends and neighbors dogs. Washing, teaching puppies basic training such as sit stay, potty training. Administering medications etc. I also have experience with working dogs/service dogs and senior care.

And open weekend days :) I will ensure safety in the home I will ensure pets a secure to thier areas, nothing left of floors to ensure saftey for animals, walk with a lead at all times, follow instructions left by owners.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping higher-energy dogs engaged, but I’m just as comfortable providing a calm environment for older or lower-energy dogs. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and good behavior with younger dogs. My goal is to follow the routine you’ve established and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I currently work week days from about 830 to 330 and off weekends. I often work from home if needed. I am very flexible with coordinating care. I have a fenced yard that is great for your pets to play. My house is very open and spacious and very pet friendly. I am very flexible depending on your pets needs.
“Kayli did a fantastic job checking on my cat! Her Rover cards were very detailed and she provided great photos! She is the sweetest and went above and beyond throughout her sessions, even watering my plants when she noticed they needed it! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a drop-in pet sitter.”
“Sherry was excellent! She hung out with my crazy corgi for a hour and they had the best time! Super responsive and sent lots of updates/pictures! Would definitely recommend booking her!”
About: Hello there, my name is Davey, and I’m an experienced pet caretaker with over 15 years of experience. I live alone and have access to a bark park and local parks, which allows me to provide a safe environment and ample amounts of open fields and stimulating environments for the doggie's. I prioritize the well-being of all furry friends — including cats— by following the habits you have already curated for them; such as meal plans and diets, using familiar commands to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to make sure you return home to a clean and happy home, with a loving caretaker by their side. Some of my furry friends tend to get attached to me quickly and even sit at the doors, waiting for me to return. Overall, I have a deep love for these little furry companions called pets. I’m a full-time remote student and a freelance photographer. I have more than enough flexibility to take care of your little one because I prepare everything on my schedule two weeks in advance. Pets will be completely safe in my hands as I am very attentive and aware, and we are most likely going to be in the same room the whole time. Should anything arise with your furry one I immediately communicate about it and let you know what the issue is and how we got there. of course every case is dependent on the personality of the furry one. I treat your pet as if they are my own if I wouldn’t drink faucet water I wouldn’t give your little one faucet water. We’re kind of bougie over here.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs as pets, and I have a Labradoodle named Roux and a tabby cat named peaches. I know how important it is to take care of someone else’s pets because I would want them to do the same for me I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I take care of pets after work and on the weekends. I also make myself available for holidays If I were taking care of a pet in my home, they are free to roam the house and I also have a fenced in backyard and front yard. If I was taking care of a pet at someone else’s house, I would follow all of their instructions so that I can give the best care possible
“Gaelle was wonderful! She dropped by to check on our cats while we were away, and sent updates each time she did. It was nice not to have to worry about our furry friends. Thank you! 5 stars, would rebook again!”

Caitlyn stopped in every day to check on Harper while we were on a long trip, following my long list of written instructions perfectly. I felt much less guilty about leaving knowing she was well cared for. Her dishes were kept clean, she got play sessions and clean water, and she got lots of attention.
Cait was positively amazing! She went above and beyond while taking care of my English Bulldogs. She was very detailed at providing detailed feedback on everything she did. She took tons of photos and I could tell my dogs were very happy! I will use her again and again! Highly recommend her!
I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like her own. She made sure he was well-fed, gave him plenty of love and attention, and took him on regular walks. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Noah was amazing as usual ! He was able to fit us in during his busy schedule so we could visit family cross country . He took very good care of our boys and made sure to communicate any and everything (per our request) . Will definitely use his services again !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest Heights is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $30 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 15,969 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest Heights. 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 Forest Heights. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
