“Qilin was great! She was very accommodating of my senior dog and spent plenty of time with him, and was great about sending updates about how he did. I was very happy with Qilin and would absolutely book her to walk Winston again!”

About: Hi! I'm Jewel, a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I love both cats and dogs-friendly, playful cats and all dog breeds are welcome! Animals naturally gravitate toward me, and I take pride in making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience with many types of dogs, including reactive, friendly, and senior dogs. I've owned Chihuahuas, a Blue Heeler named Ava, and I currently have my own puppy, Romeo. My experience has helped me understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and overnight stays. For social dogs, I can also bring my puppy along for companionship-with your approval. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every pet like family. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently working full-time from the comfort of my home, giving me maximum flexibility all days of the week and weekends to care for your pets. Sometimes I may just need to bring my computer or iPad along with me to stay on top of work. I have wide open availability and am explicitly available to take bookings for the upcoming 4th of July holiday! Safety is my absolute number one priority! I hold a professional security license, as well as official certifications in pet CPR and First Aid, so you can rest assured that your beloved pets are in highly trained, capable hands. For in-home visits, I love working directly from your environment because it keeps your animals comfortable, stress-free, and in their familiar routine. I always treat your home with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness while keeping your furry family members perfectly safe and sound
“She is amazing. My dog loves her and she is always on time. She follows all directions and is a genuine animal lover. Your pet will be in good hands!”
About: I've cared for a variety of pets over the years—including my own cat for 10 years, a guinea pig for 2, a parakeet, and a hamster. I've also looked after my parents' fish and my brother's Husky, and have completed house sits for both cats and dogs during my travels. I have a flexible schedule and live nearby, so I can easily accommodate your pet’s daily routine and provide reliable, attentive, loving care every day. Hi, I’m Betty, a native New Yorker and lifelong animal lover. I’m clean, friendly, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. As a homeowner and former pet owner who had relied on house sitters for my own pets, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and animals. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’ll treat your pets with patience and kindness and respect your home as if it were my own.
“Yuni is a great dog walker! She is very nice, calm, and responsible - she shows up on time and sends photo and video updates during each walk. Will definitely contribute working with her.”
“I appreciated Ronnie's quick response with little advance notice on my part. Ronnie provided photos of Rascal on the walk and spent some quality time with him. She was flexible with the pick up and drop off time (and logistics). I highly recommend Ronnie.”
About: I love animals and enjoy spending time with pets of different personalities and needs. I am patient, responsible, and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or simply having company, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. I am available on weekdays and weekends and can adapt to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Amazing as always. My dog had a great time with her, and immediately chugged water when he got home from the walk. He hates drinking water! Glad he got some exercise, or at least as much as his little Chihuahua legs will allow him.”
“Isabel was wonderful and was really nice. Our little pug Stella is a bundle of energy, and Isabel handled her really well. Stella loved her! We felt safe having her take care of Stella for her midday walk. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs because every one of them has a different personality. Some want to run around and investigate every smell in the neighborhood, while others are happiest taking their time and enjoying the walk. I’m dependable, patient, and pay attention to details. If you leave instructions, I’ll follow them. If your dog has a routine, I’ll respect it. And if they have a favorite route, toy, or weird habit, I’ll probably notice that too. Friends and family would describe me as observant and easygoing. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know what makes each dog unique. My goal is simple: make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. Whether that’s a quick walk, playtime, or just some extra company during the day, I’m happy to help. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule right now, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and checkins throughout the week. I’m reliable, punctual, and make it a priority to show up when I say I will. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their routines as normal as possible. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, feeding, or simply some company during the day, I’m happy to help. I believe good pet care starts with trust, communication, and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in their home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I make safety a priority, keep owners updated when needed, and pay close attention to how pets are behaving so I can respond to their individual needs. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.
“Kira took my dog for walks and she was excellent. She was always on time, responsive, and it was evident that she is a gentle person and very attentive with my dog as I accompanied her on the walks.”
“OMG like you’re the best!! Our dog loves you so much ? we will definitely keep in touch when we travel again, plus Baxter Met so much new friends!! Thank you again for being a really great walker for him!”
About: • I worked at the Howard beach animal clinic as a veterinary assistant where I assisted veterinarians with vaccine administration, blood draws, and wellness checks for both cats and dogs. I also learned how to administer medication to dogs/cats, give cpr to dogs specifically, handle hyperactive, anxious, and/or aggressive dogs/cats, and work with all kinds of breeds ranging from chihuahuas to Great Danes. • Before that, I gained experience working with dogs by volunteering at nyc pet services in Astoria, where I took care of many different kinds of dogs by supervising the area and ensuring all dogs were happy and safe. • My love for animals started with my golden Labrador and poodle at age 5, then at age 12 I got a Maltese whom I’ve grown up with and is now 16 years old. My experience not only includes dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes but also temperament, behavior, and personality. All of this experience has taught me how to read dogs and cats better, know when to approach sensitive dogs, and the best way to interact with said sensitive dogs. I can accept same day request due to my very flexible schedule, because of my flexible schedule I can focus on your pets happiness! I will have plenty of time to take them out on long walks for exercise, play time, and feedings. I love to spend time with dogs and cats, they truly make my day so much better! If it’s too hot out we can have play time indoors with some nice AC and play with some enrichment puzzles! I can assure your best friend will be in good hands and I’ll take care of them as if they were my own. I live in a pet friendly building, I’m on the first floor so your pets can enjoy jumping and running as much as they want! I have a park nearby where we can enjoy long walks and play time. A large living room that they can explore and take comfy naps. I can also make them tasty treats if you’d like! I have a small senior Maltese, she’s 16 years old and enjoys taking many naps but will still love to make new friends. She’s very chill due to her age so you can rest assured that your pups will be safe, but if you’d rather them be separated I have a divider that will ensure that! My priority is that both the owner and pup are comfortable and happy :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
We are thrilled to be back with Ashley walking our dog Cagney after a two month break this winter. She is so kind and loving, patient and above all professional. She has also done a bit of training with him. Cagney gets so excited when the buzzer rings and runs to greet her. Definitely an asset to Rover!
Carlos always goes above and beyond with my pup Nala. He takes such great care of her despite the extreme weather fluctuations from high heat to cold ice and snow. And he is incredibly flexible and understanding. I’m glad I have him as a recurring walker for my pup
We had a great experience with Julian watching Hazel, our Shih Tzu mix, and Louis, our Nebelung cat, for 10 days. He provided drop ins and walks and kept us updated throughout the trip with great communication and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. He was reliable and handled situations that came up during our time away, which gave us peace of mind. When we got home, both pets seemed happy, content, and very well cared for… Hazel even wanted to go with him when he returned our keys! Our home was also left pretty much exactly how we left it. We’re very thankful for the care he gave our pets and would absolutely book with him again.
Diego was amazing with my dog, Chai! He was super punctual and brought him back right on time after exactly an hour, which I really appreciated. He also kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was at work.
Xiaoying was fantastic! Our dog loved her from the first meeting. She went above and beyond to walk him, even saying hello to our cat (who is usually afraid of new people). She was very professional, timely, and flexible with a couple of last-minute changes, and sent us plenty of pictures. We would definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest Hills on Rover is $27.75 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 28,249 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:
- 87% of walkers 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.
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.
