“Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. As soon as I was trusted with the responsibility, I was all in. Dogs have been a joyful and consistent part of my life ever since. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra gentleness. I understand how important routine, positive reinforcement, and consistency are for helping dogs feel safe and secure. As a healthcare worker, I bring an added level of attentiveness, responsibility, and calm patience to the dogs in my care. I’m detail-oriented, observant, and committed to making sure each dog’s physical and emotional needs are met. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs - I truly engage with them. Whether that’s structured walks, playtime to burn energy, or relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to your dog’s unique personality. You can expect dependable communication, photo updates, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys every tail wag along the way. 🐾 My job has me working three days a week, which means the other four days I’m fully available and dedicated to caring for pups! On my off days, I have flexible availability for walks and drop-ins. Even on my working days, I’m organized and intentional with my schedule, and I only accept bookings I know I can give proper time and attention to. I believe dogs deserve unhurried, dependable care - not just a quick stop-in. My goal is to provide consistency, communication, and peace of mind so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Familiar environments help dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of surroundings, and cautious with other dogs and unfamiliar situations. Leashes, doors, gates, and feeding instructions are always double-checked. As a healthcare worker, I’m observant and quick to notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. You can trust that I will treat both your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Clear communication and photo updates are always part of the experience, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. 🐾
“Erice is personal and professional. She takes very good care of Sunshine. She's very reliable. She has stayed overnight and done drop in visits. She's a wonderful sitter!”

“Parks did such a great job with my two cats - one of them is nervous around new people but he walked right up to Parks the first time they met and seemed totally comfortable. Parks also had no problem handling our excessive feeding schedule due to the health issues of one of the cats. Will definitely be booking again soon!”
“Lillie has been exceptional with the dogs and equally exceptional as a professional. She has house sat and dropped in with my dogs on several occasions. She is communicative, punctual and treated my dogs not only like family, but maintained our training and routine. Owning a large working breed requires a certain proclivity and understanding that Lillie has. It is hard to find this level of care or trust that is required for in home dog sitting. My only complaint is that she has other clients and I can’t have her all to myself!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/ cats my entire life. The last 2.5 years I have been working in Vet Medicine and have experience with many types of dogs/cats in various situations. My goal is to provide you with peace of mine that your fur baby is properly cared for & loved while you are away. Caring for animals is my passion! 🐾❤️ I currently work at an animal hospital and have experience with MANY types of animals. I work part time at the clinic right now. So most of my time is home with yours pets 🥰 I do prefer a meet and greet with me and your pet before the drop off. I have dog lot fencing put up in multiple spots of my yard, with plenty more that could go up as well depending on how many stays. Dogs do not intermingle outside of families, other than through the fences. I do have a Min Pin, 2 Pit mixes, and a GSP rescue, who have their own area and wouldn’t be around your pets. I would do crates/outside lots for all pets. They would get 4+ potty breaks throughout the day. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to accommodate where I can.

“Ashley did a great job looking after my 2 large dogs and cat while I was away. She was flexible when our schedule changed, professional and very easy to communicate with, keeping me up to date on my furwads and drop-ins. I highly recommend:)”

“Natalie was the best! She too care of my two senior cats while I was out of the country. She gave regular feedback with photos and was very generous with attention and treats each visit. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that Natalie was taking care of my girls at home.”

“Caitlin is wonderful! She was so quick to respond especially on such short notice. I really appreciated how thorough the visit card was. Communicative and punctual, I would definitely ask her to sit my baby again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and hamsters for a couple of years first was my family dog, then my cat in college and roommate’s hamster I only work 2-3 days out of the week for only 2 hours and I am free weekends. Which gives me enough time to care for your pets and spend time with them. I can also care for smaller pets like fish or hamsters if needed. In my home,which is my dorm, I feed my cat twice a day and make sure his water bowl is always full and clean out his litter box at the beginning of each day. In case of a fire I grab my cat with his emergency bag and I have also helped my roommate get her hamster out during a fire drill. I always make sure to spend time playing with them as well. For clients I make sure to care for their pets as I would want anyone else to care for mine; providing the food as asked by the client and cleaning after the pet as asked which includes cleaning the litter box or going for walks and playing with the pets.
“Debbie was wonderful and gave us so much peace of mind when leaving our two cats to go out of town! She did a meet and greet before we left and was very kind, attentive, and even took notes on the care instructions we gave! She was very flexible and easy to communicate with, responding quickly. Our cats can be very shy and seemed to really like her. She loved on and played with our cats as well as caring for them and cleaning up after them. She sent us pictures and updates and also left a sheet of what she did each day! I highly recommend! Will definitely book with Debbie again!!”

“Amy was available last minute for my nervous dog. Sent me photos and kept me updated which I highly appreciate. Will be using Amy again when we go out of town. Thank you for caring for my Mia!”
“Brinkley, Thank you so much for helping us out last minute with Duke and Wanda! You left us with no worries while we were away! Look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you!”


About: Hey there! My name is Allison and I’m 25. I have two 5 year old full sized goldendoodles. I have been a dog person my entire life. I am currently a stay at home mom that works this alongside my S/O’s schedule. Rest assured that your furry friend will have my undivided attention. Animals are just as important as our human kiddos!

About: I’ve owned cats since I was 5 and dogs since I was 10. Both puppies and seniors, so I have worked on taking care of them for a long time! I have also gained experience in the pet care world through working at a dog daycare! I’m currently attending school full time and work part time, but I am able to do evening and early morning walks! My availability does not change much unless I’m away from school! I will not be able to take care of dogs in my home because of the two others I already have. In others home, I will be able to follow details given. I can let dogs out, walk them, feed them, crate them, or whatever is needed!
Forest Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
A few days before I was supposed to go up north to visit an old friend I began looking for a sitter on Rover.com. Not having used an online service before I didn't realize that I was trying to book at the "last minute." Johnna and Samuel graciously agreed to watch Gabi, my cat, with drop-in visits. Each day, true to their word, they sent me a photo and a written update of how Gabi was doing. I will unequivocally recommend Johanna and Samuel for their high level of care.
Erica did a wonderful job! She was mature, conscientious, and responsible -- even took notes during our first meeting!!! I was able to communicate with her easily and received periodic updates with GREAT pictures!! I would recommend her highly and without reservation!!
We hired Lillie for a drop-in visit for our three dogs & it was a great experience! Lillie is extremely kind, communicative & caring and we could tell immediately when we booked our meet & greet with her. She stopped by for an hour and walked our dogs, fed them dinner, and gave them lots of cuddles. She communicated throughout the entire visit and sent us lots of photos. We feel great about recommending Lillie to anyone in the local area & absolutely want to work with her again in the future!
