About: I only charge my cat care rate if there are no dogs. Otherwise they will be charged as “additional cat” and that is free. If the pricing is not reflecting this please let me know so I can adjust. I’ve owned pets my whole life. I have taken care of many different types of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, small rodents, birds, and fish. I have ample experience in taking care of other people’s animals, and have previously worked at a pet store for 4 years. I love animals and have learned as much information as I can regarding their health, happiness, and needs. Animals are very near and dear to my heart, and I would absolutely love it if I could make every individual pet on the planet happy! It brings a smile to my face knowing that I have helped someone keep their special one’s needs met and provided comfort in a time where they might have otherwise been alone or not looked after properly. I take watching animals very seriously and I want to prevent any mishaps at all costs. I am willing to provide top notch care for your dog or cat and will accommodate any specific wants or needs you may request. I also have experience giving medicine to animals so I would have no problem doing that if necessary! I do rover full time, so all my days will be pretty much open for different types of schedules. I can accommodate any of your needs when I am at your house. Walking or backyard, feeding schedules, playtime, treats, or training are all things I would love to discuss with you so I can make sure that we are on the same page when it comes to the care of your pet. I do rover full time, so all my days will be pretty much open for different types of schedules. I am open to almost any schedule, but would prefer to not have to wake up any earlier than 8am. I am willing to discuss this and make accommodations if necessary. I am able to provide full time care for your pet if needed as well. I live in an apartment and have no other dogs but I do have 3 cats, if needed I can always drop my cats off with someone to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have a reactive dog at home, so I am well- prepared to handle and avoid any unnecessary conflict during our walks. I will keep your pet safe. I have a hybrid schedule with my full time job, so I am able to be with your pet a few times a day when necessary, including lunch time some days.. I am always respectful of other people's homes. The way your home is when I enter it will be how it is when I leave. As far as rules for your pet, I will always check-in with pet parent before caring for them.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and have been a huge passion of mine growing up. I am caring, trusting, and dependable and will provide the best personal care to fit your dog, cats, or exotics needs. My experience with both dogs and cats has stemmed as a far back to pet sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood, to volunteering at the humane society through my teens. My work experience includes working at a humane society and county shelter. I also have years of experience working at dog boarding and daycare facilities. Along with some background working at an animal hospital. These all allowed me to get familiar with all sizes, personalities, and needs. I am comfortable and have been around puppies of all ages! I also am familiar with dogs with special needs and am able to administer medication. I also recently just became Pet CPR and first aid certified. Besides my experience in care for cats and dogs, I have some prior knowledge for caring with reptiles and ferrets. It’s always rewarding and important to provide the best care possible and most importantly make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. Currently I am a very open and flexible with my schedule to cater to different situations and provide the highest care possible for your individual pets needs. I do my best and strive to stick with your pets schedule and routine. I provide drop in visits that includes multiple times a day or staying in home to ensure the best care for your companion. *Special/specific needs may include an increase fee in service.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats as well as other animals since I was 5. As an animal lover, my family brought in many dogs and cats into our home and I was responsible for taking care and feeding them. I love all animals. I have taken care of a large sized husky/German Sheparad mix to a smaller Boston terrier. I love all dogs as well as cats!! I have 2 cats (Benji & Ash) that are spoiled with toys and love 24/7! I am always excited to meet new pets and would love to help you when you need it! I just moved to Louisville and I have a remote job where I work from home majority of the time! Rover will allow me to continue my savings for graduate school as well as getting myself outdoors and discovering more of the city! Overall, I wanted to be apart of a company that lets me be around animals and help pet parents around! I love to care for all animals and have flexibility to do so! I am very disciplined to instructions and can be flexible with any service requests! I will ask any questions I have after reading the instructions you provide. I have 2 cats at my house that can keep your pet company if they love cats! I can see your pet’s needs and be able to help in any way that I can!

About: What truly sets me apart is my nine years of comprehensive, hands-on experience caring for my family's pets, consistently since 2016. My reliable background is further proven by my time dog sitting and walking for several friends, demonstrating comfort and expertise with pets outside my own home. I'm proficient in managing both large and small breeds, having cared for a Pitbull and a Yorkie, giving me confidence with all energy and handling needs. My experience also extends to cats. I rescued a cat that I found on the street, which highlights my patience and skill in providing gentle care for nervous or shy animals. I am reliable, versatile, and deeply committed to recognizing and meeting the individual needs of both dogs and cats. Pet care fits easily into my current schedule, ensuring your pets receive focused attention without being rushed. I work part-time as a Paraoptometric Technician and dedicate other free time to volunteering, but I intentionally keep large, consistent blocks open for pet care. My reliable availability includes Tuesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and full availability on weekends. This structure guarantees I can provide reliable, high-quality care, whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, or regular drop-in visits. My main goal is to create a stress-free and loving experience for your pet right in their familiar environment. When I care for your dog or cat, I focus entirely on their comfort and routine. I'm meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and walks, making sure their schedule feels perfectly normal. I also know that security is important, so you can trust me to be mindful of your home while I provide care. I'm skilled at providing gentle companionship—like I do for my own rescue cat—which is especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. You can count on me for excellent care, a tidy pet area, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how happy they are!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Fantastic Dog Walker Molly has been incredible with my dog, Draco. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy, exercised, and well-looked-after. Draco absolutely loved his time with her, and it gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands each day. Her communication has always been excellent—updates, pictures, and notes that showed she truly cared. Even on busy days or last-minute changes, she was flexible and professional. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she’s done for us. Atlanta is lucky to have her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for everything…you will be missed!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forest Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Hills is $16 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 1,052 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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forest Hills after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
