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!
“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
“Ashlea was great with my introverted senior dog. It was a same day request, but she was very accommodating. My dog came home happy after her walk with Ashlea. So glad to have found her!”
“Amanda was a God send! Even when my wrong address was in the system and she went to that house first, she went back to our ACTUAL house to take care of our girls. We were so thankful!”
About: They weren’t kidding when they said a dog is a man’s best friend! I love being around dogs. I have been around dogs since I was little. I have had four dogs growing up. They have ranged from small to big dogs. I would love to help take care of your dog/dogs as if they were my own. I am pretty routine on potty breaks and playing outside when the weather is nice. I also love going on walks and would love to take your dog with me! If you and your dog have a certain routine, let me know! I want to make your dogs feel comfortable so that they can trust me! Let me know if you have any questions! Can’t wait to pamper your dog/dogs!
About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.
“Sam was great! She was able to help me out in a pinch. She was prompt and informative. She requested instructions and followed them perfectly. And Korben obviously loved her too!”
About: I’ve had over 20 pets growing up, from dogs, hamsters, ferrets, you name it. I have lots of experience working with animals, including lots of training caring for animals and building fast-strong bonds. Im an educator with early mornings that allow me ample time in the early afternoons and evenings to care for you pet. My schedule is pretty flexible and able to fit around your pet sitting needs when giving proper notice. I can also be available for quick dog walks and check ins everyday of the week. I have my own dog, Onyx who is able to roam free unless I leave the house and will offer the same freedom to your dog. We live in a great neighborhood with other friendly pet owners and provide a great route for nice long walks to enjoy the weather. I can also crate or fence in your pet if needed as well.
About: I’ve had a cat or dog as a pet for almost all of my life. I had two cats for their entire lifetime, and currently have 2 chihuahua mixes. One is a special needs Senior, and the other is 5 years old. I’m an educator, that is currently on summer break. I have plenty of time to walk your dogs or drop in to care for your pets. I do a lot of walking with my own two dogs, so I would love to give yours a great workout. I can also do drop ins to feed, give meds, or play with your pet.
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.
“Grace works patiently to gain the dog’s trust. Her questions demonstrate true care and concern. She ensures she is walking at the dog’s pace. Grace is professional, kind and considerate. I feel honored to have met her and trust her completely with my dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 12 years and pride myself on having highly trained and well behaved dogs. I have cared for dogs/cats while their owners were gone and also gone to owners houses strictly to help them and their dogs have a pleasant walking experience. I work from home and have flexibility on when I can care for your animals, depending on your schedule needs. Just let me know what works for you! I have a fenced yard. I like to train dogs to be better behaved than when I found them, whether that’s on a walk or within your home. You should come home to a calmer, gentler animal whose needs are met.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest Hills on Rover is $16.05 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,121 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest Hills. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Forest Hills.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hills. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
