“We were so lucky to have Melissa take care of our pups while we were away! She was wonderful about sending photos and detailed updates. She gave them such great attention during her drop in visits, you could tell they were so happy to see her. We would definitely recommend using Mellisa to care for your pets!”

About: I've been fostering dogs and cats since 2013, I've done pet sitting for 5 years, and I worked at an animal boarding facility for a little over a year. I can give medication, and I have experience with all sorts of pets. I currently work part time, so I have quite a bit of time to stop by and check on your pet. Or, if I'm staying in your home, your pet will have lots of attention because I will be home most of the day. I work Sunday-Thursday, 10am-3pm. Depending on the animals needs, I'm able to do anything and everything to make them feel comfortable when they not so furry parents aren't home.

“Jade was amazing while my husband and I were away. She was very flexible with some of our scheduling issues and her communication was outstanding. There was a bad storm that came through and she was still able to check on our little ones with the power being out. Very thankful for her while we were away.”

“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”

About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been around them since I was a child. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and family, so I'm comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company with plenty of cuddles, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family, providing reliable care, affection, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, evening walks, overnight care, or weekend attention, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I make sure I have the time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I provide care in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free, while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Alyssa took great care of our cats, Misty & Fae over the Labor Day weekend. Misty requires prescription wet food and 2 medications (opened capsule & measured liquid) added to her food. Alyssa came for a meet & greet visit during the week before the weekend so she could meet the girls, see their environment & understand their food schedule & medication dosing schedule for Misty. She came for morning & evening feedings & sent us pictures from each visit. We knew they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely call on her again! We highly recommend Alyssa!! Misty ? & Fae ? do too!”

About: 💗 If your pet needs someone who’s going to do more than just feed them and head out, I’m your girl!! I genuinely love getting to know each pets personality whether they’re the clingy type who follows you everywhere, the zoomers at night, or the pet who pretends they don’t like anyone (until they secretly do like my orange cat which is now super affectionate). 💗I have two cats of my own a boy orange cat who keeps me entertained every day and a girl black tuxedo cat who’s basically my little shadow. Having my own pets has taught me how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else, so I never take that responsibility lightly. I treat each pet I care for as I would my own. 💗 I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for around five years, caring for everything from fresh new born kittens/puppies to older cats/dogs who just want a quiet companion. I work as a travel home caregiver too, and actually a lot of my clients end up asking me if I can come back just to spend time with their pets when they’re away. I think animals can sense intentions from humans and want company for the ones who actually care and show them love. 💗 I’m a very patient person, so I don’t mind taking things at your pet’s pace. If they’re nervous, I’ll let them warm up to me. If they’re full of energy, I’ll match it. If you’re working on basic training or trying to keep them on a routine, I’m happy to help stay consistent while you’re gone. 💗 I know every pet is different, and that’s honestly my favorite part. Earning a pets trust and make to them feel comfortable is my goal. I want you as a pet parent to come home to a happy pet who was cared for and needs were attended as if you never left. Most mornings start with the gym or a run, then I meal prep before heading to work. I’m a Med Tech, GNA, and travel home caregiver, and I’m also studying Computer Science with a Nursing minor at Morgan State. On my days off, I’m usually reading with my book club, playing my PlayStation, or having a movie night. I keep a pretty balanced routine, so I always have the time and energy to give pets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I look forward to pet sitting, it’s always the highlights of my week. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I provide attentive care, regular feeding, fun playtime, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and stress free.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve helped care for my family dog for the past 7 years, so I understand the daily responsibility, attention, and love that dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also house-sat and watched dogs for others, including taking them on regular walks, sticking to feeding schedules and breakfast/dinner routines, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and helping administer medications when needed. I know how important consistency and trust are when someone is caring for your pet, and I always do my best to make dogs feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and lots of affection. I work a full-time 9–5 job during the week, but I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care in the evenings after work after 5:30. I’m also available for overnight stays during the week if needed, though I would be away during typical work hours (approximately 7:30 AM–5:30 PM). On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, overnights, and extended care as needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive dependable, attentive care while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for years through both personal experience and dog sitting for others, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I do my best to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or prefers calm cuddles and quiet time, I’m happy to match their personality and routine. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I take owners’ instructions seriously and always respect boundaries, routines, feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication needs, and any house rules. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and provide care that feels like a natural extension of their home environment.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Forest Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Forest Hill is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 3,924 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Forest Hill. 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.

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 Forest Hill 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Forest Hill with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hill. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
