About: I truly love caring for animals. I focus on comfort, routine, and gentle companionship - whether that’s a cozy lap buddy while I crochet or read, or a happy walking partner who gets me outside. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. At this time, I’m available for lunchtime and evening care during the week, as well as weekend sitting. I’m happy to discuss your needs and explore options that work best. Privacy and trust are very important to me, so I prefer to care for pets in a way that respects both. I’m happy to welcome well-trained, non-aggressive pets into my home, enjoy walks, and spend quality time together. I generally don’t stay in a client’s home for extended periods.
About: I have always had a dog in the home and have always been a big part of caring for them. I have volunteered at veterinary clinics since i was in 6th grade. I have assisted in surgery’s and births as well! I have two rescue dogs at home and one has spina bifida and is in diapers. It has been a joy to help them thrive in there unique way. I also have lots of experience in giving medicine if that’s something your pet may need! I also have chickens and a snake as well! I have lots of experiences with raising puppies as well as caring for dogs in there special se our years. I would love to care for your dog in anyway! weather it’s running in the backyard , going for walks or taking naps in the sun! I am hoping to have a job over the summer but am unsure of what’s days. I should be free most days and will be able to spend quality time with your dog! I will treat your pets just like my very own! I will provide snuggles, walks, play time and love, whatever you and your pet needs!
“Laura came to spend time with our dog and let him out while we were at work, and she was awesome! Great communication and some cute pics of our fur baby. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have two cats and a crested gecko, so I’m used to complex pet care. As a nursing student, I also have general medical knowledge as well as compassion. I’ve grown up near my grandparents who always have a dog, and over the past several months I have helped care for their mini golden doodle puppy. I work 2-3 twelve hour shifts per week at the hospital, leaving the rest of my week completely open. I’m available any day of the week at any time. I am able to crate your dog in your home, bring them in/outside, and I’m always up for a good cuddle session or some playtime!
“Rebooking with Katie because she is the best! Our dog won’t often let us dry off her paws, and she was able to dry them after a rainy walk. Our dog already trusts her and that says a lot!”
About: I'm Amanda, a yoga instructor/interior designer and a full time animal lover! Growing up, I’ve always had dogs and cats (our family is full of nurturing individuals). I have babysat and taken care of relatives and friends animals throughout the years and have many repeating customers! I know that each animal needs a different type of care considering each one has a special characteristics that defines them. I make sure they use the bathroom or are taken out every two-three hours and walks are a must. I have a mini Australian Shepherd, Ezra, and a cat, Veda. I do this so I don’t end up with ten dogs in my household :) I currently work part time and also kind of make my own schedule, so I will have a ton of time to play with the pups and/or cats. Fed twice a day and let out four times a day to get the energy out! I also follow whatever instructions are given to me for each parents preference. Always keep an eye out and do what I’m paid to do …with a little more love
About: I grew up with cats in my home and dogs at friends' houses. In 2022 I helped raise and train a yellow lab and have walked dogs for 8 years. I'm currently working mornings, getting off at 1 pm. I have the rest of the day to take care of pets by walking, brushing, playing, feeding, or whatever else you'd want. I can work days and weekends, overnight if desired. In the mornings I'd be up between 5 and 6 to walk, feed, and whatever else the pet needed then I'd head to work. Depending on the pet's schedule, I'd immediately head back to walk and feed again. I can be there overnight with the pet or just check in during the day if desired.
“Michael N. is a SUPER STAR and I can't imagine giving over the care of my Paco to anyone but Michael. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my pet with Michael because I know he will love and care for him just the same as I would and having that peace of mind is worth everything to me. I find Michael to be a genuinely kind and caring person and Paco loves him to bits so that's good enough for me. I HIGHLY recommend Michael and so does my Paco! He is simply the best!”
“Stephani is amazing! We just adopted our pup not too long ago and she is super shy, but she warmed up to Stephani right away! She’s patient, knowledgeable and caring, can’t ask for much more.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have always wanted one of my own. However, because my family is allergic, I’ve had to live vicariously through friends. I’m not super experienced in some of the more niche aspects of pet ownership, but I certainly know how to walk, feed, play with, and pick up after dogs. I am currently a university student in the Middletown, CT area. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule (besides when I’m in class). I’m most available on weekends, but can accept the occasional walk on weekdays. I always try my best to cater to your pet’s needs. I stay attentive, ready to interpret their cues, and able to accommodate any of their needs.
About: I have dog sat for all sizes of dogs and even ones with special needs (blind and deaf). I love and care for them all! I get off early in the afternoon most days so can spend time playing with or walking your dogs, whatever is preferred or expected to be done! We have a fenced in dog park that I can take any dog to, there are no breed restrictions and I have a second bedroom if the dogs prefers their own space (can have a queen bed to themselves).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest Hills on Rover is $21.09 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 1,463 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:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
