“Wendy was amazing with both my dogs — she gave my puppy lots of love and attention and took great care of my older dog too. She was always punctual, super friendly, and kept me updated with the cutest pictures from each visit. I felt completely confident leaving my dogs in her care and would definitely book her again!”

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats. I have been trusted to care for my own animals as well as looking after neighbors, family, and friends' pets while they are away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and aggression. I also have experience with fish, amphibians, and reptiles if needed. I am a daycare teacher and artist. I have house sitting availability on weekends and weekdays depending on the commute to my daycare job. Walks and drop-in visits are limited to evenings and weekends. I am happy to walk, play, groom, and cuddle with your pet! Whatever they may need, I am willing to provide. I will spoil your pet as if they were my own. I work full time at a daycare but am available on weekends. I would be able to house sit during the week depending on the commute to my full time job and your pet's needs. I can keep a close eye on your pet's in both your home and yard. I will leave your home looking just the way I found it, cleaning up any messes the animals or I might make!

“Stephanie was amazing! Very professional, communicated well, and was overall very attentive with our boys. Our AC went out halfway through the week, and she helped us troubleshoot the problem from 3 states away. She also made sure to check on the cats and make sure the house wasn’t too hot without the AC. Overall, we had a great experience and we plan to book with her again for our next trips as well!!”

About: I have many years of pet sitting experience. I've worked for a few pet sitting services around Baltimore. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Denver walking the dogs. I have always had pets of my own. I also have years of house sitting and child care experience. I am a very laid back person and your pet will feel at ease with me. I treat my pets as if they are little people. I talk to them and cuddle with them. I will treat your furry friends as if they were my own. I am mature, responsible and professional. I am available for daily visits or overnight stays. I can also board them at my place. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I work full time M-F in the office but have some flexibility to work from home. I will be sure to give your pet the attention required to make them happy. Upon taking on a new client, I make sure I am aware of any situations that may become an issue. I currently have a client whose dogs need to be separated during the day while they are alone. While I am at the house, I watch out for any signs between these dogs that there may be any problems with their behavior towards each other.

About: Hello my names Addison and I’m 25 years old. For the last seven years I’ve been a senior caregiver until my client recently passed away. I’m looking to start pet sitting to fill my spare time. I’ve had dogs my whole life (small and large) and also have experience with cats. I even have experience working with reptiles and salt water aquariums. I currently reside in Northern Maryland on a corn farm with my two dogs. My husband works from home and can watch our dogs, so I can attend fully and give your animals full attention/if needed overnight. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I’m currently only pet sitting so your pet will have my full attention! Im also available for overnight stays if needed. I’m fully available on weekends as well. Pets under my watch will always get enough potty breaks and lots of love and attention. I know every pet is different and i try to mimic as close as I can to your pets routine you already have in place so you can be worry free on your vacation or trip!

About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Forest Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest Hill is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $25 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 4,045 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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.

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

  • 88% 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.

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.
