“Laura did an excellent job walking my pup, Indy. She was caring and attentive and provided updates on her visit. Looking forward to booking her again!”

About: I have rescued and cared for animals my whole life. In addition, I’ve done pet sitting, walking and administering medication when needed. Reliable and loving. I am currently working part time but have enough flexibility to help out with your pets…even if you just want someone to keep them company, or check in on them. I will spend quality time with your pet..undivided attention, playtime, affection, walking, feeding and fulfilling needs required by pet/pet owner. Pet will not be confined and becomes a “part of the family”.
About: Im reliable, communicative and caring! I try my best to accommodate every owner as a pet owner myself. I have had dogs, cats and even reptiles. I work from 8-4PM and my husband who will be assisting me works from home. Located in Woodhaven Queens I work Monday through Friday from 8-4PM. My husband works from home and helps me if I ever need anything. I’m available up to 3 times per day and can adjust based on preference. For in home visits I can check in every 6-8 hours for any owners traveling. I include pictures, videos , and updates to share all the details of our visit. I’m very easy to communicate with and am willing to adjust to your needs and expectations!
“Charlie was great with both Scott (cat) and Jamie (dog). He took great care of them while I was on vacation and they both loved him. Charlie did exactly what I had asked and he was never late. Great communication and lots of photos of my boys. I will definitely book again in the near future.”
“Ocho loves Thoselin! She’s been very conscientious and reliable, and I trust her in my home and with my baby. Ocho can be anxious and hard to get outside, but she’s been flexible and, judging by the photos she sends, he has a great time with her!”
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.
“Tedy is very patient with our Momo who can be very loud and excited. She takes her time to calm him down the best he can. Looking forward to working with her more.”
“Melanie is absolutely amazing! Franklin and Gracie love Melanie!! She is so incredibly good with dogs and was really thorough with getting to know my fur babies before taking them on walks. I highly recommend book her! I will definitely work with Melanie again especially when I have to travel!”
“Joshua came to walk my pups on a rainy day. This is the most difficult time to walk them as they hate rain and are shy around new people. He did great! He took them both out and checked in with me to keep me up to speed and if he had any questions. I have trouble taking them out in rainy days so 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Ronnie was super communicative and updated me after every walk. My pup is very picky with walkers but he walked well with Ronnie. Would definitely rebook her for walks.”
“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.”
About: Why Rover? My fur baby crossed the rainbow bridge at 17 years old, over a year ago. I miss my dog, but im happy that this platform gives me the opportunity to be around dogs again. About me: I work in fashion and love dogs. I wish could be surrounded by them everyday. I adore dogs of all ages, but senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m experienced in caring for seniors, including administering daily medications. I understand it’s stressful leaving your fur baby with strangers, but I’m extremely communicative and responsible. I’d treat your baby like my own. Im open to connecting prior to confirming the booking, if it helps calm any nerves. I am home most days of the week. I'm in the office 2 days per week. Fortunately my office has a relaxed pet policy, and I'm able to bring in dogs to work. I live in an apartment and believe dogs should never be crated. They’re free to roam my home and are welcome to sleep on my bed at night.
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
Hillary is amazing! I accidentally gave the wrong address because I just moved and didn’t realize I hadn’t updated my profile, and she was so understanding and went to the second location anyway. I am so grateful! She was very communicative before and during, and I’m so thankful she was able to help me with my pup !
Tedy has been walking our dog Willa regularly over the last few months and doing a great job! Tedy is respectful of our space, gives us full reviews of the walk (with great photos), and is easy to communicate with! We appreciate Tedy’s scheduling flexibility as well. We will continue to use Tedy as our regular walker!
Dongju is absolutely amazing! She is caring, patient, loving, and, most importantly, trustworthy. She took wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind. I would recommend her to everyone I know without hesitation. If you're looking for someone reliable who truly loves animals, Dongju is the perfect choice!
Nusta has been absolutely amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She’s incredibly responsive, reliable, and always communicates so well. Patsy absolutely loves her, which gives me so much peace of mind every time they’re together. One thing I really appreciate is how accommodating she is—whenever I need an extra walk, she’s always willing to help if she’s available. She’s consistently respectful, kind, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoys what she does, and that shows in the way she treats Patsy. We’re so grateful to have found her!
William was excellent with our dog Coco. Coco was quite nervous and apprehensive at first but William knew exactly what to do to make Coco feel better. And coco really enjoyed his walks with William. We will definitely be asking William to walk Coco in the future.
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

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.

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.
