“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!”
“Highly recommend Kristin! She took amazing care of my cats and followed all instructions perfectly. She is communicative, sent great photos, and handled extra requests like mail and cleaning with ease. My cats were happy and safe under her care. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“I’ve been booking Dane’s sister for a while now, and she has been very reliable and responsive . Communication is easy and she gives excellent updates. My cat Flurry is shy, but he’s slowly getting more comfortable with her. Hopefully he ll get as playful and cuddly with her that he is with me. I appreciate that she tries to adapt her care with Flurry preferences and that I can rely on her every week.”
“Abdelkader is the best! He took care of my cat while I was on vacation and even was able to accomodate some last minute changes on scheduling to make sure my cat was okay and happy. I would totally book him again for my next trip. Totally recommended.”
“Xiaoying was the perfect sitter for our 5 months old kitties, she was very attentive and kind to the cats, she was also accommodating my specific sitting requests and last minute adjustments. Highly recommended!”
“Angelika is an amazing dog sitter/walker! She’s been dropping in on my dog for a little while and she is very attentive and communicative. Also very flexible with times. She even came in one evening when I couldn’t make it home from work and it really helped a lot!”
About: Hi there! My name is Anya and I am a college student in NYC. All my life I have been surrounded by dogs and cats. Feeding and walking animals have been a part of my daily routine since I can remember. In my hometown, I frequently house sat and dealt with old, young and sick pets with care and feel comfortable doing so. Since moving to the city, I miss my dogs terribly, so I know this will be enjoyable work for me! I am an extremely Covid conscious person, triple vaccinated and continue to take precautions.I am available to house sit, do check-in’s and dog walks. My schedule differs each weekday, so I would be happy to discuss and figure out a time that works. Please message me if you have any interest or questions. Take care!

I am quite flexible so feel free to message me with any questions. I am a very trustworthy and respectful person. I am very attentive to each client's rules within their own home. I know that every animal is unique and will follow care-taking instructions diligently as if they were my own pet.

About: Since adopting my own pup in 2022, I’ve fallen in love with caring for dogs of all kinds—from energetic puppies who need playtime galore to sweet seniors who prefer gentle cuddles. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, mastering the art of patience, routine, and tail-wagging fun. Working from home means your dog gets constant companionship, potty breaks on schedule, and plenty of affection. Your furry friend will be treated like family! 💕 Since I work from home full-time on weekdays, I’m always around to give your pup constant love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks (my own dog goes out 4+ times a day, so yours will get the same care!). On weekends and days off, I love staying active—whether it’s leisurely walks, park trips, or cozy downtime, I adapt to your dog’s energy level. From high-energy pups to laid-back seniors, I make sure every dog feels at home while sticking to their routine. Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll keep their tail wagging! My dog-friendly loft is a cozy, secure space wherever pups are welcome on furniture (including the bed!)—because let’s be honest, snuggles are non-negotiable. To keep things clean and safe, I wipe all paws after walks and tidy up any messes immediately. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s puppy-proofing for curious noses or senior-friendly accommodations. Rest assured, your pup will enjoy a happy, hygienic, and hazard-free stay!

“Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾
Booked Charlie for a last minute 1 hour drop-in visit, due to unexpected/urgent appointments that took me out for the day. My pup is a recently adopted rescue with some reactivity and other idiosyncrasies, and I wasn’t comfortable leaving her with an unknown boarder or daycare. I was upfront about Lala’s issues-in-progress and Charlie was gracious, accommodating and communicative. During the hour-long visit, he sent plenty of photos and met my pup where she was at. Visit went smoothly and I was able to focus on my rather stressful day without having to worry too much about her. Thanks again.
Nusta was absolutely incredible. I truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our dog while we were overseas. She went above and beyond in every possible way - taking amazing care of him, vacuuming and helping keep our home clean, bringing in our mail and Farmer’s Dog delivery, and even helping me during an emergency when I lost my debit card. Most importantly, our dog was SO happy. He had the biggest smile on his face when we got home, and it was obvious how comfortable and loved he felt with her. This was an extended trip overseas during such an important time in our lives - we got engaged while we were away - and because of Nusta, I genuinely did not have to worry about a thing back home. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone on this app, without hesitation. We will definitely continue using her because, at this point, our dog has officially welcomed her into the family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Nusta, for taking such incredible care of him and of our home. ❤️
Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Carolina is AMAZING! I just recently moved into my apartment, and was anxious about finding someone to take care of my dog (Staffie mix) and my cat - both senior pets - during a trip to visit family. I'm so glad I chose Carolina, she was absolutely fantastic - extremely professional, caring, and communicative throughout the visit, and I could tell from the first photo she sent that my pets were in great hands. The neighbors in my new building also had great things to say about her once I returned. I'm so grateful for her expert care, and definitely plan to book her again. Highly recommended!
Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!
Vanessa was a sweetheart! This was my first time using this and she made me feel very comfortable and easy about this decision. She even came to introduce herself to me and Otis prior to the visit so I really appreciated that. And Otis loves her! That’s my favorite part! I’ll definitely be booking again.
Christian is a great sitter. Gunner can be nervous/skiddish around new people, but with Christian’s patience and calm demeanor, Gunner was at ease in no time! There were no issues and he followed instructions I gave him. I would definitely book Christian again and recommend him to others.
I had a great experience with the nail trim service. She was incredibly responsible, professional, and patient throughout the entire visit. She handled everything with care and made sure my dog was comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated her attention to detail and reliability. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled pet caregiver!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated them like their own, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the detailed updates. I came home to two very happy pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
Mark is truly the best around. He is incredibly loving, attentive, and thoughtful with our fur babies, and he’s also an excellent communicator. We always feel so lucky knowing they are in his care. It’s a delight to bump into him around the neighborhood, too! 😆💕
Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Forest Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
