“Tedy did an excellent job with Peanut, including making sure his paws were wiped and he was dry after his rainy day walk. She is thoughtful and goes the extra mile one her own initiative.”
“I was away on vacation for 15 days. Melanie made every day stress free when it came to my Siberian husky. Blanco really enjoyed expecting her every day for walks and treats and he loves the little training she does with him too! Blanco and my cats fight for her attention all the time. <3 Although Blanco makes a mess on occasion Melanie is always happy to help out with that, which I really appreciate. As always, I am super grateful for you Melanie!!”
“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!”
“Jonathan was great! He is super friendly and great with my energetic husky ginger. He came out for all her walks even in very very cold weather. Will be rebooking Jonathan for any future dog walks!”
“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.”
“I couldn’t recommend Melanie any more highly. She’s amazing with animals, kind and always responsive to any time I need her. Thank you for always being so great and taking care of the little one, I always know he’s in good hands.”
“Our dogs enjoyed walking with Melisa. She treated our dog with care, and her reports after every walks satisfied my curiosity on how my dogs were doing with her. Thank you Melisa!”
About: Hi there! My name’s Nicole, and I provide dog sitting in your home as well as my own. I love dogs of all sizes and ages, and I'm happy to give baths as well. I have a dog of my own, and any dog I care for will be treated just as well as mine is. I’ll take them on walks, take them to the park and care for them overnight if needed. I'll play with them and give them treats when they're good. I can also train them, as I have experience training a border collie in the past which I did daily. This border collie (Charlie) also had a prosthetic leg, so I was very patient with her on our walks. My schedule can be pretty flexible, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask about my availability! I have a dog, I have many toys that your dog may enjoy as well as a roomy backyard that they can run around. I am also near Juniper Park which is a great place to walk the dogs. You can trust that your dog will be in good hands!
About: Hello, My name is Leilani and As an animal lover, I find pet sitting to be a rewarding and enjoyable job. It allows me to spend time with furry friends and provide them with the care and attention they need when their owners are away. In my personal experience, I have had the pleasure of caring for animals for several years. During that time, I learned how to provide them with proper nutrition, and exercise. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also taken care many dogs and other animals on multiple occasions. This has given me the opportunity to gain experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, and has allowed me to expand my knowledge of animal care. Overall, pet sitting is a fulfilling and enjoyable job for those who love animals. It allows us to provide care and companionship to furry friends while giving their owners peace of mind knowing that their pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available to house sit on weekends and weekdays, anytime after 12pm When a pet owner hires a pet sitter to care for their pet in the sitter's home, safety is often a top concern. As a responsible pet sitter i will take several measures to ensure that the pet is safe and secure during their stay. This may include providing a secure and comfortable environment for the pet, ensuring that the pet is supervised at all times, following any specific instructions provided by the owner, and having emergency plans in place in case of any unexpected situations. Communication between the pet sitter and pet owner is also essential to ensure that any concerns or issues are addressed promptly and effectively. By taking these steps, i can help provide peace of mind for pet owners and ensure that their pets are happy and healthy while in their care.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and dog and cat owner, here to facilitate adventure walks, sunbeam naps, and all the good sniffs! I have experience with reactive and sensitive dogs, and my philosophy is to always prioritize setting a dog up for success, whatever that may look like. I am available for check-ins, feeding, long or short walks, and playtime to keep the zoomies at bay! I am on a freelance schedule, and my availability is open and flexible on weekdays, evenings, and weekends as needed to provide care for your pet. I would request as much information as possible up front about your pet's routines and preferences to maintain consistency and keep them comfortable. My experience with reactive and nervous dogs has given me a strong awareness of stress indicators, so I can react appropriately and deescalate if needed. I am responsible and responsive, and will provide constant updates on your pet's well-being.
“After booking with Mandel regularly for a few weeks I can say that he is reliable, responsible, and caring dog walker. With Mandel, you can be confident your pet's in good hands and will have a good time. My German Shepherd mix can be a strong puller on walks, and Mandel handles it without trouble. He also sends nice photo updates! It's great to see my dog happy and active while I'm at work!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than 15 years of my life. I have a small senior dog who gets along with everyone. We love having other dogs hang out with us. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs for all kind of fun walks. I currently work from home 3 days a week and spend lots of weekends at home taking care of my senior dog. I am the go to person with all my friends and family when it comes to pet care. My senior dog spends much of his time in a giant play pen sleeping in our apartment. We still make it out for 3 walks a day. My apartment is very pet friendly.
About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs. Old. Young. Small. Large. I give them the attention and love that they need and deserve. I love going on long walks so I am sure your dog will love that too! I had a boxer mix for almost 14 years but due to old age and sickness he passed away. I have a lot of loving to give to another dog! I work as a personal trainer at a couple of gyms that are close by so I usually make my own schedule. I am always local so I would be able to give your pet the time it needs. I give them their own comfortable area to be in and I am easily available to walk, play, feed and pamper your dog! I listen to specific instructions given.
“Where do I start. Coming on this app I was very nervous as I’m sure all of us are with our babies but Deshaun made the whole process easier. From taking his time to come meet Jack with me on our walk before committing, to even taking him on long walks and being so kind. I’m very happy with him and so glad and excited to keep working with him! Thank you so much.”
About: As a remote worker, my schedule is very flexible! I grew up with 2 cats at home and 2 dogs at my brother's house! I've been taking care of them for over a decade, and recently started taking care of other dogs here on Rover. I have volunteered at several animal shelters across the city such as KittyKind, ASPCA, and Animal Care Centers. As a graduate student in Miami, I took care of cats and dogs for classmates, colleagues, and professors! This experience, in addition to growing up with both cats and dogs, has taught me the value and importance of their lives and what they do for ours. Trusting someone to take care of your pet is not easy (trust me, I know), but as long as you allow me 1% of your trust, I will work my hardest to gain the other 99%! As a full-time remote worker, my schedule is very flexible! I’m generally available for morning/afternoon bookings during the typical workday. I can also be available for overnight stays as needed. For drop-in visits or house sitting, I prefer to meet owners and their pups in person before confirming a booking. I treat all pets as if they were my own; with compassion, admiration, and respect! I will ensure your pet is always happy to see me, whether its for a drop in visit, walk, or anything in between!
About: "As an avid pet enthusiast with a genuine passion for canine companionship, I bring a unique blend of dedication and expertise to my pet-sitting approach. During my solo holidays in New York, I actively sought out opportunities to pet sit dogs for free, creating not just a service but a heartfelt connection with these furry friends. Fearless in the face of diverse dog behaviors, I pride myself on my ability to swiftly identify subtle body language cues, allowing me to preemptively address any potential triggers and make immediate adjustments to ensure a harmonious experience for both the pet and their owner. Beyond basic care, my skills extend to training puppies and providing specialized care for senior dogs, enriching their lives through tailored attention and companionship. Your beloved furry family member isn't just in good hands; they're in the hands of someone who values their well-being as much as you do." I work from home and have a great job that allows me to step away anytime I need! I'm also out walking my own dog 3-4 times a day. I live a very active life! First, I need to make sure your pet will get along with mine. If they do, both dogs have free range in the entire house. I will keep an eye on them the whole time, make sure there is plenty of water, keep all doorways closed and communicate that to my roommates, and at night we all sleep in the same room with both of their beds next to each other if they prefer, or at a distance. I will make sure there is no rough play, nothing on the floor or table tops where they can reach and chew on something they shouldn't, and have enough outside relief needed. I also live near Fort Greene Park, so they will have enough playtime so when we get back home, they can nap.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Forest Hills is $25

Johnathan is a very detailed and responsible walker. He is extremely communicative and it’s obvious how much he cares about my dog. He’s also very reliable!! Johnathan has saved me with last minute bookings. I am grateful I can depend on him to walk and feed my dog whenever :)
Paula is absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind, caring, and reliable, and she takes such great care of both my dog and my cat. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands with her. I really appreciate her care and attention, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter or dog walker!
I have had a great experience with Melissa! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, accepting the job just one day before I needed my dog walked. My dog absolutely loved the pack walk since he is highly social and used to attending daycare. He came home happy, content, and nice and tired—making for a peaceful, relaxing evening. I truly appreciate her flexibility, excellent care, and willingness to help on short notice. I have already booked her for future walks😊 Highly recommend!
Malik is the BEST! I'm so glad I found him:) He walks my 60 lb senior bully mix each weekday, and also checks in on my senior cat during his visits, giving them both some treats and affection at the end of each visit. My pets clearly adore him, and look forward his visits. His attention to detail and reliability is exceptional, and I so appreciate his flexibility and responsiveness as well. I can't tell you how comforting is is while I'm at work to know that he will be there to check in on my pets. I trust him completely with my pets, and can't recommend him enough!!! AMAZING.
I was scared to go and leave my fur baby. Jose was excellent his patience and communication skills are top notch. He keep me informed of everything he did with Nyla and he also sent plenty of photos.. I will definitely be using Jose to watch Nyla in the future. I wish I could rate him 10 stars. He deserves it.
I appreciated that she had availability on the weekend since i made sort of a last minute booking. Cosmo warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed his walk. She even made sure to wipe him down after he returned home. I would recommend to others and will rebook with Nusta in the future.
I needed a dog walker last minute, and Ashley immediately replied and made time to meet with me before the walk to go over everything. That alone made such a great first impression! From the minute Toby met her, he was excited and comfortable around her, and I knew he was in good hands. 😇 Ashley took Toby on a full hour-long walk and sent me pictures and live updates throughout. Seeing him enjoying himself gave me so much peace of mind. She even brought toys for him to play with, which was such a thoughtful touch! What stood out most was how attentive she was, both to Toby and to making sure I felt comfortable. Even with a last-minute booking, she took the time to discuss his care beforehand and kept me informed along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring, communicative dog walker. Five stars from me and a very happy Toby! 🐾⭐
Shirley is AMAZING! She’s so sweet and really attentive to the dogs needs and unique quirks. I’ve never used Rover or any dog walkers because I’ve been hesitant but she eased my anxiety and was communicative, timely, and reassuring. I highly recommend her and would rebook for when I’m off on my next trip! 🫶🏽
This is the 2nd time Mayleth has walked Mochi. She’s so patient and communicative with me by updating me with pictures and keeping Mochi safe even if she gets bursts of energy not knowing her strength as a big puppy herself. But I am confident she will never let Mochi out of her sight and protected from harm. Thank you!!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Hills is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $33 per walk.

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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forest Hills after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
