“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 hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in home settings. I’ve watched dogs for multiple days, including both weekdays and weekends, handling feeding, walks, and maintaining their normal routine. Occasionally watched over more than one dog at a time. I also have experience with watching cats and ensuring they are taken care of multiple days at a time. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. Since I work full-time during the day, I’m best suited for pets that are comfortable being alone during work hours and thrive with consistent morning, evening, and overnight care. My goal is to keep your pets safe, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, so I focus on providing reliable morning, evening, and overnight care. My mornings and evenings are structured and consistent, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and attention. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can spend additional time with your pets while maintaining their schedule. I keep my calendar organized and only take on a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives dependable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and care instructions carefully to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide morning and evening care, along with overnight presence when booked for house sitting. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I started using Rover to find a dog walker and soon used it to find a dog sitter. I have had such an amazing experience that I wanted to provide that same experience to others. I have had dogs of all sizes and breeds my entire life and so am happy to take care of any breed or size. I recently had to say goodbye to my 15 year old Weimaraner and so have experience with older dogs as well. I mostly work from home (I go into the office 1-2 days a week) so have a lot of flexibility! I am generally free 9a‐5p Monday-Friday and some availability on Saturday and Sunday. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and breeds throughout my life, so I’m comfortable caring for any dog, big or small. I have a mini Goldendoodle who loves to cuddle, so I’m an expert at giving plenty of affection and attention. She also loves to play fetch and be chased, and I’d be happy to do the same with your pup. I can provide long walks, playtime, and caring check-ins to help keep your dog happy and comfortable.

About: My animal caretaking experience ranges from volunteering at adoption events to dog walking, house visits, and pet sitting! When not caring for animals, I have devoted my time to working with kids through speech therapy and now following my passion in nursing! I am currently working part-time through different caretaking opportunities while back in school for nursing. My schedule is flexible with open hours in the morning, mid to late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Every pet has their own personality which I will prioritize in getting to know in order to create a special connection that will provide me with the knowledge and confidence to provide the best care!

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!

About: I have been pet sitting, walking and caring since I was in grade school. Growing up I had the best dog in the world whom I would walk, and play with everyday. I recently lost her to age related causes. But there is nothing more I desire than to show up for other pups and give them the love and care I always gave my Jessie! I am a student, I would be able to walk your pup after class, preferably 11:30 would be a great time for my available days, but I am free every Friday morning too. I am also extremely active and love being outdoors! I do not offer service in my home but I will treat all my clients homes with love and care! As well as tend to any and all needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Forest Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Forest Hill on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,082 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Forest Hill stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Hill. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
