Previous drop in visit arrangements by a friend fell through last minute putting me and my dog in a bind. I logged into Rover and messaged Wendy. Wendy accepted my request just a few hours before the requested time. She was on time, communication was stellar, and she even took a few photos of my dog to upload into the app. Highly recommend!

Dakota did a great job caring for my two cats, one of which is isolated because she’s new to the household. She is very communicative and reliable, thank you!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs (German Shepherd, Pug, rescues, Jack Russell’s), a cat, and horses. I currently have a 5 year old Lab and 14 year old horse. I’ve been house and farm sitting since my teens. Ranger enjoys hikes, swimming, lounging around, and visits to the barn. I have experience with the life span, from puppies to seniors, various sizes and breeds. I can take your pup out for a walk and/or enjoy time in my fenced in back yard. I’ll communicate (written and pictures) for check ins. I treat every pet like family. We look forward to meeting you! I work full time and, live close by. I’m able to go home to let pups out for a potty break at lunch and walks around the neighborhood after work, and/or play in the back yard. On weekends, I try to go out for a longer/walk hike. I have a fenced in yard and my 5 year old Lab to keep your pup(s) company. I am open to crate trained dogs, and have various size crates as needed. Two kids (11 and 13) are in my home.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, from cats and a dog, to a lizard! I have experience with pets with medical conditions (medications + some special care), from my own pets, and pet sitting for others. I have been pet sitting for my neighbor’s 2 young corgis for the past 2 years, as well as another neighbor’s 2 cats here and there as needed. I treat everyone’s pets as if they’re my own, and give them ample amounts of love and play time. My family currently has a senior dog (springer spaniel) and older 2 cats, with 2 of them being on daily medications, so I truly know the importance of a routine and how to convince them to take a pill! I am open to care for any animal that comes my way, but I definitely have a soft spot for kitties :). I am currently free most days, so I have plenty of time to fit in your pet(s)! I also have my own car, so I’ll always have a reliable means of transportation to and from your home. I care for other’s pets as if they’re my own. I start out slow and cautious to learn the pet’s behaviors and boundaries, and then venture into different types of play and experiences. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I will happily oblige!

Autumn was great with Wookiee. She gave frequent updates during her his visit with him including pictures. Wookiee was well exercised and cared for. Autumn was a last minute booking but she came thru in a big way. Handled all the instructions for locking up my house with no problem. I am glad I was able to find her. She even came back a 2nd time. I plan to use her for drop in visits in the future

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.

I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.

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: Love many different types of animals and have pet sat for many people in my family over the years. From my experience every dog has liked me. I have minimal knowledge in training dogs. And can adapt my environment to fit the personality of the dog. Im currently in college, so Mondays-Thursdays are busy for me but I am almost always available Friday-Sundays. On the warmer days I like to go for a walk around the neighborhood and back. I have a fare sized fenced yard. A 8-year-old yorkie, he is very sweet and friendly with other dogs, not much of a barker. Two other reptiles locked in their tanks, the will never be a concern with them they are very small.

About: I have always loved taking care of dogs and helping my neighbors by dog sitting, so I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and good at making animals feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Since I don’t have a strict daily routine right now, I’m able to work around different pet care needs, whether that includes morning walks, afternoon check-ins, evening care, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and gives me something I genuinely enjoy doing while I’m home for the summer. I make sure any animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and overall routines to help pets feel more relaxed while their owners are away. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while keeping their environment clean and safe. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I always try to be patient, attentive, and caring with each animal.

About: Working at a Veterinary Hospital before going to college absolutely solidified my love for animals and caring for them! I love learning their unique traits and I can’t wait to bond with your pets! I’m currently a full time student at JMU but I’m looking to add pet sitting into my routine! With warm weather coming up, I know how important it is to find a reliable sitter for vacations! I can’t wait to meet your pets! Caring for your pets in the safety of your home is important to me! Allowing them to show me around and playing with their favorite toys is so exciting!

I’m deeply grateful to Tania for taking such loving care of my cat, Pipi. Tania followed every instruction with care and attention, and her daily updates—filled with sweet photos—brought me so much comfort while I was away. She was also always responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I wholeheartedly recommend her for her services!

Kaylie was a wonderful dog sitter. One of our dogs can be cautious with new people, and Kaylie was patient, caring, and attentive, which helped our dog feel comfortable. She communicated very well throughout our time away and sent many pictures that were reassuring and appreciated. We’re grateful for the thoughtful care she provided and would happily book with her again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - 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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,208 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
