“Everything was great! While our pup was so out of sorts while we were away, Melanie was kindly attentive to her and informative to us during her visits. Would definitely recommend Melanie!!”
“Courtney is so great about checking on Marlena! She always takes photos of her during her visits and stays to give her attention. I always feel good knowing she’s coming to take care of her!”
“Ashlea has been letting our 2 puppies out in the middle of the day for the last few weeks and has been fantastic. She has been flexible when my schedule changes and is completely reliable. We very much appreciate how she treats our dogs and highly recommend her.”
“Catherine is absolutely fantastic! She takes the time to truly care for your dog and goes above and beyond. She really helped us out with handling our new puppy! She even was able to teach him a few basic commands during her drop in visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
About: Growing up, outside of school I spent a good portion of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter and actively challenging kids around me to help provide care to pets in most need. Over the years, these experiences have translated into a unique skill set of tricks and techniques to provide your pet with the utmost attention and care they deserve. My goal is to offer any pet (cat, dog, any other small animal) under my supervision unparalleled quality of care and a loving home environment. My home is on a 4 Acre plot of land with a fenced yard. The fenced yard allows for free play at least once every 1-2 hours with my supervision. When on leash we can explore the other unfenced portion of the yard or neighborhood. Inside my home my wife and I have partitioned pet safe areas where they can freely roam. I have tons of toys for all sizes and want their stay to be a vacation for them. :) I have two small corgis that are extremely friendly and love to play with new friends. If bringing your animal to my residence is not convenient, I offer a pick up and drop off service for a round trip fee. My goal is to simplify your pet care needs, by providing unparalleled quality care, a loving home environment, and peace of mind that your family member is being taken care of by a loving family I work at home as a front-end software developer, my work schedule is flexible meaning I can provide as much attention as your pet deserves I have a climate controlled room that has doggy doors that allows them to free roam inside and in the yard (with supervision). Most services needed or requested can be accommodated. Pets are allowed to roam inside my home or in my yard with my supervision. I take dogs on at least 3 walks a day if weather permits. I can accommodate most requests I currently work a part-time job from home that allows for a ton of flexibility. That being said I have a ton of time to play with your pups and give them the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible and I seek to make things as convenient as possible for you. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that are always looking to make new friends. When boarding I make sure to keep a close eye on any pet in my supervision. I have spare crates, bowls, blankets, and a mountain of toys to play with. In the summertime I have dog pools, sprinklers, and lots of fun
“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”
“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
About: I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for my own dog, Oscar, who is nearly 15 years old, as well as helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their pets, including cats. Oscar is in his senior dog era, so I am knowledgeable and empathetic to what senior dogs may need. As a teacher, I am dependable, patient, and attentive to detail. My schedule also allows me to be especially flexible during the summer to meet you and your pet’s needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours as if they were my own. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule during the summer and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care for your pets. During the school year, I am available after work, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I understand the importance of consistency and will work with you to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I will treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. You can count on regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My camera roll is probably 90% pictures of my dog, Oscar, so it’s safe to say I love sharing updates and photos while you’re away!
“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”
About: I absolutely Love dogs! They will get lots of attention and love! Have a huge back yard for them to play with lots of room to run around! Will take them on walks! I used to have dogs but now I really enjoy taking care of others dogs especially puppies! I have house sat and dog sat multiple times for all kinds of different dogs both young and old, big or small! I love all breeds no matter what. I have watched a dog for over two weeks before with no problem! I am a very big pet person all around, they tend to just love me. I would be very happy to watch your dog or do a drop in visit! i am super excited to watch your pet!
About: I’ve taken care of my own and other’s pets my entire life — and I know most people want this kind of experience for their pets. Whether at my home or yours, they’ll be just like family to me. I have 5 years experience working and volunteering in animal shelters, making me a great fit for anyone wanting a sitter who knows what they’re doing and is willing to go above and beyond. I am starting remote work, and therefore have more time than I know what to do with! Taking care of animals is my passion, so your pets are my primary focus. I work with old animals and young, calm animals and ones with their crazy pants on — so any challenge that is thrown, I will be able to handle. Pets are our children, and you can trust me with yours. I am also insured as a pet sitter, so you can have some additional peace of mind.
About: I have been dog sitting since I was 16, and because I love animals, I truly enjoy providing loving, reliable, exceptional care for every dog. I work a part time/evening job so I am available to be with your babies for half the day, I am also available after work if needed. By carrying for your pets I will pay attention of when your pet wants to go outside, I will make sure that their bellies are full. I love to make sure that your pets have fun while playing with them and to make sure they feel comfortable in their own home.
“Jamie did a great job with our two dogs. She played fetch & spent time with them and she also sent me an update/pictures of the visit. I would not hesitate to book Jamie again - she is a very sweet and animal-friendly person!”
About: I used to have two large dogs on my own, and I grew up with a Chihuahua, so I love dogs of all shapes and sizes!! I can do long term and short term stays! I work a relatively flexible 9-5. My schedule is different every day of the week. There are some days that I can come home and have a midday potty break, but there’s also certain days that I am unavailable to do that. I’m happy to shift my schedule around as needed to watch your dog the best that I can! I can either sleep there or leave and return as desired! I would prefer to stay at the clients house versus having them in my own home.
“Kristen is always very professional and reliable. I have a 110 pound male pup who is unsure of most people when he first meets them. She knew just how to respond to him and now he loves her! My other pup is a fence jumper and she always makes sure she is on her cable. Kristen is quick to respond and always sends pictures and uses Rover Cards. She is extremely polite.”

Mel does a wonderful job taking care of your fur baby, following all your instructions with care. And, then, she does the little extras that add so much! Her attentiveness to whatever helps your pet feel your absence a little less makes her such a great sitter! Thank you, Mel!
Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!
Ashlea was very helpful, responsive, and responsible. I was out of the country due to an unexpected family emergency, and she helped check on my cat, refill the food, take care of the litter, and update me on the situation in my apartment. She communicated clearly and sent me helpful information so I could understand what was going on while I was away. I really appreciate her care and flexibility, especially with the short notice. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Literally the best, Annie took on my drop in last minute and my normally shy cat loved her!🫶🏼 Feel so blessed to have found her wasn’t able to meet her and she was so trustworthy and my stress levels went all the way down. the videos and pics put me at so much ease. will definitely book again and tell my mom about it her. My girl has a new best friend‼︎♡ thank you thank you!!!
Alex was an amazing sitter and was able to provide services last minute. My girls were very comfortable and appreciated meeting beforehand. Instructions were followed well and Alex reached out when further clarification was needed, which I very much appreciated.
Caisey was both professional and friendly! She really took the time to get to know my cat and made sure to accommodate care to her level of comfort. She was reliable, communicative, and overall a really great pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our fur baby for longer than a couple of days - Caisey was very understanding and sent TONS of photos throughout the care experience. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing an invested pet sitter!
Shaine took care of a feral cat that I have been caring for over the last eight years. Feral cats choose people not the other way around. It was obvious from how close this cat came to Shaine that she is good people. I would recommend Shaine for simple or complicated pet sitting needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest Hills on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hills. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
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.
