“This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous about it, but I felt comfortable with Laura straight away. I could tell by the way she interacted with my cats that she truly loves animals. She took great care of them while I was away, took the time to play with them and sent lots of cute pictures. Highly recommend!”
About: I've spent years walking dogs and have also looked after friends' pups during trips, so I know how to read a dog and keep them comfortable in any situation. I always come prepared with water and treats, and I pay close attention to each dog's energy and limits. If a smaller dog needs to cool down and rest in the shade, that's exactly what we do. I'm starting law school in August, so this summer I'm wide open and looking to spend as much time outside as possible — your dog is the perfect excuse. Once classes begin, walking dogs is honestly my ideal way to decompress between sessions. Whether it's a long summer morning walk or a midday break from studying, I'll always show up ready to go. I don't offer in-home sitting, but safety on the walk is something I take seriously. If we pass another dog, I always move to the side, cross the street, or pick up smaller dogs if needed — whatever keeps your pup comfortable and out of a situation they didn't ask for.
“So flexible regarding scheduling and our last minute requests, and have been consistently caring and patient to our two mischievous cats! We are so grateful and feel so secure to put the kitties in their hands while we are away!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: At a young age family members asked me to take care of their pets. Fast forward now my sister has relied in me to walk and dog sit her pup. I'm an artist/art-teacher/illustrator/computer- animator. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. So why not use my free time to do something I enjoy doing and love. Will always respect someone's home and their pet and follow their rules and directions. And will leave a note or message to the owner on how day went.
About: I’ve worked as a pet sitter/ walker for 3 years. In those 3 years, every single one of my clients were treated with love, respect, and honesty. I send pictures and videos with every walk, and I take pride knowing that you can be comfortable that your pet is being taken care of while you can’t be there with them. I’m currently working a basic 9-5 schedule on week days and am available all day and night on Saturday, and Sunday, so I would be perfect for anyone working in the food service industry! I’m very in tune with your pet’s body language and can sense if they’re feeling uncomfortable. I listen to every client’s personal requirements for their pets, and give each and every animal my undivided attention.
“I am truly blessed by God to have Rosandy and Edward in my life. They are absolute angels, and I sincerely admire and trust them. I can go to work across the ocean with a peace of mind. I know for a fact that Blaze and Starlette will always be loved by them. I highly recommend Rosandy and Edward as pet caretakers.”
About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all sizes and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I make sure your dog stays safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, and I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I follow each pet’s normal routine by providing fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In both my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, follow any special care instructions, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect.
“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.”
“Tedy was a huge help in checking in on our kitties during our trip. She made sure to send lots of photos and videos as well as a thoughtful check-in note every time. Also super clean and respectful of our space.”
“Jeffrey took care of our big 15lb cat, Amor. Jefferey was fantastic and even managed to get Amor to eat treats out of his hand! I can't even get Amor to do that. He was wonderful and we would definitely have Jeffery come back when we go out of town again to take care of our Kitty. Thank you Jefferey!”
“Xiaoying was so great! She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat needs medication every other day and regular facial cleaning, and she handled everything perfectly. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my cat’s well-being. I was especially impressed by how clean and organized everything was when I returned. She went above and beyond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
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”.
“Qilin is an angel from Heaven. Foremost, she is reliable and trustworthy. Wonderfully providing a superior level of care for my cats Blaze and Starlette. I could not ask for a more suitable and perfect pet sitter. I look forward to a continued partnership with Qilin. Thank you for your utmost kindness and care for Blaze and Starlette. God Bless you Qilin.”
“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!”

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!
Melanie & Veronica are so reliable and take such good care of our cats & turtle. We get lots of photos and good recaps and I love that they use a laser pointer to distract our one cat from eating the other cat’s food! They are very caring ans trustworthy. Thank you again for keeping us from being worried while we are away!!
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Forest Hills on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 27,555 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Forest Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
