“McKenzie was the absolute best! We have never left our doggies with anyone besides family, and we were so at peace and knowing that she was taking care of our little babies. Thank you McKenzie!!”
About: I have worked as a pet bather during winter break during my time in undergrad, and I truly loved being able to work with different breeds and sizes of dogs. For personal experience, dogs have always been a big part of my life since I was born! I didn’t grasp the concept of what it’s like to actually care for a dog until I was in elementary school but since then I’ve always cared for every dog I’ve had and every dog my family member has had. I’m currently on summer break from OT school, so I have more than enough time to care for your pets! I am available on the weekdays and weekends from 7a-3p, so feel free to reach out! I have two male Shih-tzu’s one is 5 and the other is turning 13! I love them very dearly! I ensure that they are up-kept with their grooming services, vaccinations, and fresh food and fresh water! They love car rides and walks from time to time when the weather isn’t too hot
“Emily was wonderful! She took great care of my dog while I was at work during the week. He's been having some problems with his eye and she was diligent in giving me updates and helping him any way she could. She even gave him a bath for me! Would give more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Desiree did a very good job taking care of my three fur babies this holiday. Gave usual updates on the needs and care of them. Would definitely would be using her services again”
“I’m so glad Aimee was available to take care of my senior cat while we were out of town. In addition to all the necessary cat care services, she helped with a few extra tasks while we were gone. Mostly, she and my cat seemed to hit it off and I came home to a happy and well cared for kitty. I highly recommend Aimee!”
About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else while you’re away. I’ve spent years caring for my own dog Boots, my guinea pigs Stew & Sin, family/friends dogs & cats, and even other small animals like lizards. I absolutely love animals, and I’m someone who genuinely enjoys getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, a calm companion, medication reminders, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. You can be sure to receive tons of updates, pictures, and videos! I also have lots of experience with dogs that have anxiety, health problems, dogs with high energy and also dogs who don’t really do well with other animals given that my baby Boots is the exact same way lol. Look forward to chatting with you 💘 I’m available full time for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I always make time to give every pet attentive, unhurried care and make sure they have plenty of fun! 🐾 Dog Walks 🐾 - a walk around your neighborhood or nearby trail for sniffs, exploring, & all the enrichment your pup needs! Ensuring they get a potty break & fresh water. And most importantly plenty of playtime & cuddles 😊 Drop-Ins 🐾 - Feeding, and fresh water. Potty breaks & pet area/litter clean up. Medication If needed. While tending to all your babies needs they will always get as much playtime and love as possible 💓 House Sitting 🐾 - Perfect for pets who feel most comfortable staying in their own home while you’re away. I’ll keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of care, companionship, playtime, and attention throughout the day, while also keeping their space clean and cared for. 🪷
About: Hi! I’ve grown up around cats, dogs, and even farm animals, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience as a veterinary technician and took agriculture classes throughout high school, which gave me a strong understanding of animal care and behavior. 🐾 I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets, pets who need medications, or pets who just need a little extra love, patience, and attention while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for! I’ll also send photos and updates during drop-ins or walks so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away! 📸🐶🐱 My work schedule is a rotating one, so my availability changes from week to week. Just message me if you have any questions or if you’re looking for specific dates/times, and we can work something out! I’d love to meet your pets and help however I can! 🤍 I work a rotating 4-on, 4-off schedule, so my availability changes from week to week. Because of this, I don’t have the same days available every week, but I’ll keep my Rover calendar updated as much as possible! If you’re interested in booking with me, just send me a message with the dates and times you need. Even if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for on my calendar, feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to see if we can work something out around my schedule. 😊 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment where your pet can feel secure and at ease while you’re away. I take the time to build trust with each pet through patience, gentle handling, and attention to their individual needs and routines. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels safe and cared for every step of the way. You can also expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a stress free experience for both you and your furry family member. 🐶🐱
About: As a physical therapy student, I truly believe that movement is medicine not just for people, but for our furry friends too!!! I love being active and believe that movement and touching grass and a little adventure can go a long way in improving our overall health. I’m on here because I love spending time with animals and I want to share the same passion for movement, care, and connection with them. There’s truly nothing better than being surrounded by animals and getting to be a small part of their day.🐶🐱 I planned my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the time and attention. They deserve. My availability is best on evenings and weekends, which I love spending outdoors and enjoying time with animals. I am committed to being reliable, communicative and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable & maintaining open lines of communication with the owner! I care for every pet as if they’re my own. I love pets with big personalities. I can adopt to a pets routine and an individual needs on the spot to make sure that they feel safe and most importantly be loved.
“Really enjoyed meeting Alexis and introducing her to my Nikita; it’s easy to recognize both her comfort with pets and their comfort with her. Alexis’ home is warm and welcoming to pets—I’m excited to use Alexis’s pet services in the near future!”
About: I’ve always had bigger dogs and my entire life and growing up had German Shepherds in my family. I currently have a cat and a dachshund who make my life amazing! I love being active and I don’t mind giving baths or giving pets the occasional brush. I would love to help out the dog parent who might not have the time to take their pets to any activities they would love to have them do. I have experience pet sitting for my friends and families and would love to help anyone who needs it. I do have frequent repeat customers outside of rover, if you ever need references please let me know. I work hybrid with most of my days being WFH so my schedule does vary some days but I am usually open almost every Friday-Sunday morning or afternoon! Any other days please plan accordingly and in need of an emergency please reach out and I can try to accommodate as best as I can! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Like previously stated I will try to accommodate you and your pet as best as you can to ensure you are both happy with my services.
“Heather did a great job with Sassy, my 10-year-old border collie. Our agreed upon schedule worked well. Heather brought her children with her who played catch the tennis balls with Sassy. A real treat for Sassy. Appreciated the updates and photos Heather sent. Will definitely ask for Heather again.”
“Q was awesome for our trial run. I have a very active young dog, and from our first meetup she had him under control. I feel very comfortable having her around my dog and in my home. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for years. All through college, I watched dogs and cats for friends and family, and when I worked at a vet clinic, I gained even more experience. I’m comfortable administering all kinds of medication, including pills, liquids, and injections. I especially enjoy caring for older pets and those who may be a bit anxious. They often do best with patience and a consistent routine, and that’s exactly what I provide. During every stay, you’ll receive regular photo updates, along with notes on how your pet is eating, playing, sleeping, and handling any medication. I like to keep each pet on a daily schedule that closely matches their normal routine at home to help them settle in more comfortably. I work from home, so I’m here with the pets throughout the day. Guest pets aren’t left alone for long stretches, and I can stick to their regular times for meals, walks, potty breaks, and medication. My own pets already keep me on a set daily routine, and guest pets slip right into it. Each day has a steady rhythm of morning and evening meals, yard time, walks, play, and rest. In my home: My back yard is fully fenced, and I check the gates and fence line regularly. Guest pets share space with my two dogs and one cat, so every guest must be friendly with both dogs and cats. Before any first stay, I do a meet and greet so everyone can get to know each other. New guests are introduced to my pets slowly and are supervised until I know they all get along. At night, pets are kenneled for safety. Food, medications, and cleaning supplies are stored where pets can’t reach them. In your home (drop-ins): I follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and litter, and I double-check that doors, gates, and locks are secure before I leave. After each visit, I send a photo and a short note on how your pet is doing. Health and emergencies: From my time at a vet clinic, I’m comfortable giving all kinds of medication, including injections, and I know the early signs that a pet isn’t feeling well. Before each stay, I collect your vet’s contact information and any health notes. If anything seems off, I’ll contact you right away, and I’ll take your pet to the vet if needed.
“This is our second time using Jaden. She is good about the requests we had regarding our pets! She also just has a great vibe to her so having her in our personal space wasn't uncomfortable!”
About: I grew up with dogs. I took care of them through every stage of life: puppies, adults, and seniors. I also currently own a cat, so I have personal experience caring for cats as well. I have a deep love for animals! I am a part-time college student, so working around schoolwork is my only thing besides being involved in ministry at church once or twice per week! While caring for pets in your home, I will strictly follow the regimen you provide! I have no issues assisting with training as well, if needed. I currently do not care for pets in my home!

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 Pet Sitting in Forest Hill is $20 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 5,657 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
