“Betty did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She’s very responsive, professional, and easy to work with, and her notes and pictures were great. I’m already booking her for another round of cat sitting.”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with my cat Max and I would 100% use her services again. I adopted my cat before the pandemic and was nervous about leaving him alone for a week to travel home. Laura was always on time for visits, sent tons of pictures, and gave great updates which helped relieve my anxiety.”

“Kathryn took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She was quick with all communications and made sure to check all of our kitties' hiding places to send a photo!”
“Wow, Thoselin you were amazing! Although my brother and I had to leave so urgently for vacation, you were able to do everything needed and more for our sweet Beagle pup Bruno. We did not have much time to give you as many details as we desired before leaving, but that didn’t stop you from being so inquisitive and taking such gorgeous and cute pictures of Bruno. We missed him a lot while we were away and worried for his care since he is not used to being left alone for such long periods, but after seeing him playing with all his toys and having so much fun with you we felt so relieved and knew that we chose the right dog sitting professional. We will be sure to use your services again, and if you are a pet owner reading this - CHOOSE THOSELIN ! ? You won’t regret it as she has a dog and cat of her own and is very patient and accommodating. Thank you for being so caring and patient with our pup despite his puppy nips and high energy levels. Thank you times 1,000! ❤️”
“Catalina was amazing! My cat Louie really enjoyed her company. She was responsive and punctual with her visits. I felt very comfortable with our first meet & greet, her energy and love for animals radiates in the kind care she was able to provide for my old man. 100/10 would book again!”
“Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.”
“Isabel was great in the meet and greet, actually asked for more toys to get Alphonse familiar and happy. Got lots of photos like I wanted and was very communicative. Will rebook again!”

“Kira does an incredible job of knowing what our furry-baby wants. She goes the extra mile when it comes to play time, which means a lot for our Deci. She even deals with our keys arrangement! After having us sit for us twice, 10/10 would do it again!”
“Xiaoying is literally the best person for the job. She went up and above with caring for our 3 kitties. It was our first trip away and for a 2 week period so we were very nervous about leaving them alone. We have a 17yr old male senior cat with specific dietary needs and two 4 yr old male and female cats who need lots of play and attention. We booked her for the morning and evening and she played with them, fed them and cleaned their litter boxes. Our lil Luna is very wary of strangers but she loved Xiaoying and even gave her head bumps. We received detailed reports and so many pictures which we loved! The best sitter!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
I had a great experience with Charlie. He was communicative throughout the entire booking, kept me updated with messages and photos, and followed all of my care instructions exactly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated how reliable and attentive he was, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!
Emily is just the best. She knows how to approach cats and wins them over within seconds. She played with our two, which they adored, and kept us completely up to date with her visits and how they were going. I’m really looking forward to hiring her again to look after my dog. Good people you can trust with your pets are hard to find - Emily is most definitely one of them, and I highly recommend her.
She is wonderful! Even was able to help me out last minute when my flight got delayed. She was attentive thorough and gave me great detail when visiting my two 18 year old kitties-1 of whom requires twice daily insulin injections. I totally trust her with my boys and will definitely book her again!!
This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and using Rover. Misty made everything easy. My cats are covid kitties and don’t get visitors often, so when they do they often hide. When Misty made the first day visit at first they were suspicious but they actually came out to her. I appreciate that she sat with them while they ate and played with them. She truly is a cat whisperer! I would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you Misty for making this such a sorry free experience!
Rosandy and Edward treats Blaze, Starlette, and myself like family, and the feelings are reciprocal. I am set in my flight attendant career, and I hope that I will always have Rosandy and Edward as pet caretakers. We are absolutely grateful to have them in our lives, especially for the love and care they give. Thank you for always going above and beyond for us.
Once again, Melanie and Veronica saved the day when my schedule got complicated. They are efficient, flexible, highly reliable, and absolute pleasures to work with. Leaving my two senior cats is stress-free because I know they are in the best possible hands. I cannot recommend them enough!
Jamile was wonderful to work with and she went above and beyond in taking care of our cats! She was highly communicative, shared detailed updates and photos, and the cats got along really well with her, despite them usually being distant towards new people. I felt comforted that she was taking care of them while we were out of town. Highly recommend her services and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future.
Paula was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she took such good care of our babies. We have two cats that she visited and fed every morning while we were on vacation . She was really responsive, responsible, friendly , loving and kind . I got videos and photos everyday along with updates . She was a blessing . I was totally at ease knowing she was caring for our boys . I highly recommend her !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest Hills on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,051 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
