“Maya was amazing with our spicy ManCat! He does not like everyone but certainly took a liking to Maya. We will be booking Maya again the next time we are out of town. Maya also did a great job maintaining and watering my plants, they all looked hydrated and refreshed upon our return. This was not easy as the temps were 108+ the whole time we were gone.”

When pets are in my home I treat them as my own; I take great safety precautions, go with them to the backyard and for potty breaks, and make sure play time is supervised. When house sitting, I always make sure to respect the space and leave it as I found it! It’s important that your pets feel at home.
“Lori is amazing! She is super sweet and super understanding. She did wonderful taking great care of my fur babies while away and messaged me letting me know how they are with pictures. One of my fur babies is timid with new people but she was able to get her very comfortable quickly. They are my babies so leaving them was so hard but she made me feel so much better about the whole process. Definitely recommend her and will definitely ask for her help in the future.”
“Shelly is the best we’ve used her for our babies but recently one of our babies passed away. Sheldon loved Shelly when she came over to feed them. Patches does to. 5 stars is nothing it should be 100 stars”

I've done meds and other things needed Pets are my business and my life, my own 3 small dogs and other people's fur babies too. My life is pretty great for it I do dog walks in my home.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on animal care experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for a variety of farm animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. Pet care is a part of my everyday life because I’m a pet owner myself. I currently have a French Bulldog, so I’m very familiar with the unique needs of brachycephalic breeds and understand the importance of monitoring their activity, breathing, and comfort. I’m currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Biomedical and Translational Sciences, and my summer schedule is relatively light, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits. I have always loved animals and volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout my undergraduate studies, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. Providing pets compassionate care is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide food and water, potty breaks, playtime, administer basic medications if needed, and give plenty of attention and companionship. For walks, I prioritize making sure they stay hydrated and comfortable, especially during the summer heat. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: As a healthcare professional, providing attentive, compassionate care comes naturally to me. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to follow routines and instructions closely. I'm a dog mom myself, so I know every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, enrichment, or just a calm companion while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, as well as administering oral medications when needed. I also have experience with high-energy dogs and understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. As a business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled visits, walks, and drop-ins while making sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, so I’ll work with you to maintain your pet’s normal routine and keep them comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I know pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where their routine, smells, and favorite spots are familiar. That's why I strive to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines, while giving your pet plenty of love and attention. My goal is to earn your trust by treating your home with respect and caring for your pets as if they were my own. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your sweet babies are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jennifer was very good with my dog kept in touch with me at every visit she went beyond to help coco feel comfortable and had very good communication with me coco is kinda of a one on one dog Jennifer r has a good way with dogs”
“Spencyr really took care and looked after Ted. He was on time and took care of all of his needs. I will be using Spencyr again and recommend him to anyone else looking for a sitter.”
About: Taking care of 2 German-rottie mixes before sending them off to their forever home left me with a realization I’d never expected: dogs are so much better than humans. Since then, I’ve picked up dog walking for my current manager as well as the occasional dog-sitting for friends. I am currently working part-time but would love to take your dog(s) on a stroll to enjoy the morning air and feel the warmth of the rising sun. The latest requests I can take would be around 2/3PM. I am the type to venture out and will definitely make sure your precious enjoys the ride. Long but manageable walks with endless conversations (mostly on my part).
“Sophia did a great job taking care of our 2 cats for over a week while we were traveling. She followed our instructions well and we would be happy to rebook with her in the future !”
“Shelby has been sitting for me for about a month now and is great! She comes twice a week to let my boy out and always takes good care of him by taking him on a walk and making sure he has enough water for the rest of the day. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my household since the day I was born. I started dog sitting for family friends at the age of 16 and haven’t stopped since. I trained my dog in highschool when she was a puppy and now she is well rounded in all skills! I’m currently working part time and am a full time student but I am very flexible with my schedule! I am always open for overnight stays or just drop ins while you are out. I love going on walks and would be happy to take your dog on one! I have the ability to put a dog in a crate/kennel/house if needed. I will treat your dog like my own. I am very energetic and playful and will keep your dog entertained if needed.

Adrianna has been extremely amazing. She communicates very well and ensures that’s she provides the best service possible. My apartment stays clean, my dog had a great routine, and I knew he was well taken care of. I’m going to miss her as she goes to school but can’t thank her enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Forest Hill is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 5,443 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.

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.
