“Dakota did several drop in visits for my two dogs and they love her so much! She’s the absolute best. I will definitely book her again. It was nice to go away and not feel stressed about leaving my dogs at a kennel.”
About: Experienced vet tech with knowledge and experience of cat/dog breed of all ages and temperaments, as well as experience with exotic pets. I am currently caring for 2 special needs dogs and am able to administer medications orally, and sub-q (under the skin). I am currently working from home and have my days open to other animals in the area that may be of need during their parents busy days. With the years of caring for own animals, as well as working in the veterinary field I have had to work thru many situations and make sure that the animals needs always come first.
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.
“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.”
“Cassie was the absolute best! She was so attentive and responsive, and gave great care to our two cats! She also sent great updates and pictures, would highly recommend her to pet sit!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! All different breeds! From German Shepard and pitbulls to Yorkies and Jack Russels! I love all animals as my own however I have no professional experience but I’ll still take great care of your pets! I work as a Forensic Investigator from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday and am occasionally on call during the week! I am available during my lunch breaks around 11ish! And I’m pretty open otherwise! I treat all pets as they were my own! Anything they need I’m there! Our puppers needs anxiety treats/medicine every once in a while! Or a good brushing and cuddling! I’m flexible and will do my absolute best with your animals too!
“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!!”
“Ryan was amazing and went above and beyond to help my pets feel comforted and taken care of. I was impressed with how well my dogs warmed up to him. He provided many updates which helped put me at ease while I was away. I totally would recommend and book Ryan again when needed.”
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!
“Mariah made our weekend away stress free by caring for our three cats. She communicates extremely well and we will definitely be booking her again when needed. Thank you Mariah!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my two rescued dogs that me and my family rescued 12 years ago. I also have experience petting my friends dogs, cats, and chickens! I am currently unemployed and trying to make pocket money and save for travel so i will use all my time looking out for your fluffy children. I offer drop in visits and walks. I will personally make sure your pet is fed, played with, walked, loved, happy, and well cared for.
About: Please message me for availability! My schedule varies weekly due to being a nurse, and it is challenging to update on here so frequently. I grew up an animal lover (and still am!)- all shapes and sizes! I wanted to become a vet, but became a pediatric nurse instead. I love being able to provide assistance to my community, which is why I love using Rover and volunteering at the Humane Society :) I have an anxious and medically complex dog of my own, so I am experienced in that area! I have cared for family member and friends’ dogs. I also have a cat, and have cared for various friends / neighbors as well. I am a nurse and currently in NP school, so my schedule varies throughout the week. Shoot me a message to see if my days off will work for you! I typically am available for same day drop ins. I love all animals whether big or small, hairy or scaly! Your baby will be treated as I would my babies and will ensure they are always safe.
“Excellent communication before and during our first time hiring Alley. She was great with the dogs and spent lots of time with them. Alley is definitely hired for every time we need a sitter!!”
“Emma was great with our dog! She arrived on time each day at my home as scheduled while my family and I were out of town. She was professional and friendly the entire time. She also sent pictures of our dog from each visit.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have had the pleasure of raising and personally training three wonderful dogs. Most recently, I said goodbye to my beloved Springer Spaniel after 16 amazing years together, so I understand just how much our dogs mean to us. They’re not just pets — they’re family! I’m an active, outdoors-loving person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk, a long hike through the woods, a run for a more energetic companion, or simply relaxing at home, I’m happiest with a four-legged friend by my side. Having cared for dogs throughout their lives, from energetic youngsters to senior companions, I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, confident handling dogs, and a big believer in positive reinforcement, consistency, and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to give every dog the same love, attention, exercise, and care I’ve always given my own — while making sure you have complete peace of mind while they’re with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits. I love being outdoors and staying active, so daily walks, playtime, and exercise are already a natural part of my routine. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll, a long hike, or an energetic run, I’m happy to tailor our activities to their needs. Your dog won’t just be another booking — they’ll have a dedicated companion who genuinely enjoys spending time with them! Having raised and personally trained three dogs, including my beloved Springer Spaniel who lived to 16, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing a calm, caring environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I’ll always follow your dog’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, and any specific instructions to help them feel secure and settled. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, from playful puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace. Safety is always my priority, whether we’re relaxing at home, exploring the neighborhood, or enjoying the outdoors. I’ll also provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your four-legged family member is happy and well cared for.
“Mason was a phenomenal pet sitter. She was able to fulfill my need for a pet sitter during a holiday weekend, given less than 2 weeks notice. Mason gave prompt reports on my cat and even fed my aquarium fish and watered my indoor plants. She was patient with my feisty indoor cat, responding mindfully to my cat’s communication cues demanding space. I highly recommend Mason! 5/5 stars”
“Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!”
About: I have been dogsitting for a few years now. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and overnight stays. I also have got to dogsit many different breeds. I am currently a graduate student and work at a golf club on weekends. I fit dogsitting into my schedule by being able to make time before and after classes to take care of them. In a clients home I respect their space and am able to care for the dog while maintaining safety for their pet. I would like clients to trust me with their pet and within their home take care of them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest Hill is $17 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 4,061 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 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:
- 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.
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.
