“I'm very happy with Melanie and Veronica's great cat care. Not only did they make sure our cat Zara's needs were met, they went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. They were patient and helped Zara come out of her shell and play. I got regular updates throughout my time away. Thank you so much!”

“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.”

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.
“Rosandy and Edward are phenomenal people who provide excellent care for Blaze and Starlette. From the very first moment I spoke to the couple, I knew I found the best persons for the job. They are trustworthy and reliable, kind and caring. The communication is outstanding. Above all, Blaze and Starlette are calm and comfortable with them. I am a flight attendant, with Rosandy and Edward, I can certainly relax at work and rest easy fr those nights I am away from home. I am beyond thankful for meeting you both.”
About: I’ve raised and trained my dog for 9 years. I have also pet sit for people in my neighborhood. I have pet sit young puppy’s and older dogs and love them all. I am very good at reading dogs cues and adjusting to their needs accordingly. I enjoy catering to each dogs needs and building a walk routine that works for them individually. I am currently taking online asynchronous college courses so I have great flexibility in scheduling and am available Sun-Fri, morning, afternoon and night! I love taking walks and hiking with my dog, and I would love to provide this service for others. I am very attentive and notice dogs moods, needs and wants. I’ve had my dog for 9 years and can read cues easily and learn other dogs cues like I have in the past, quickly.
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”.
“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!”
“Thank you so much! Great walker and super communicative! Love the photos of our babies with Catalina and how cute Jax looks in her sweater when on her walks with you.”
“Kira does an incredible job of knowing what our furry-baby wants. She goes the extra mile when it comes to play time, which means a lot for our Deci. She even deals with our keys arrangement! After having us sit for us twice, 10/10 would do it again!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
Rosandy and Edward treats Blaze, Starlette, and myself like family, and the feelings are reciprocal. I am set in my flight attendant career, and I hope that I will always have Rosandy and Edward as pet caretakers. We are absolutely grateful to have them in our lives, especially for the love and care they give. Thank you for always going above and beyond for us.
Xiaoying is probably the best catsitter I have ever had! My cat is 14 and quite shy, and it truly takes a cat whisperer to get him to socialize with you if he is not familiar with you, but somehow on just the first visit, Xiaoying was able to pet, play with, and feed snacks to my cat! Not only did she take her time with each visit, she left a very thorough report with many photos and I felt extremely reassured that my cat was doing well despite me being away. I would absolutely book again and would recommend her to anyone!
Once again, Melanie and Veronica saved the day when my schedule got complicated. They are efficient, flexible, highly reliable, and absolute pleasures to work with. Leaving my two senior cats is stress-free because I know they are in the best possible hands. I cannot recommend them enough!
Jamile was wonderful to work with and she went above and beyond in taking care of our cats! She was highly communicative, shared detailed updates and photos, and the cats got along really well with her, despite them usually being distant towards new people. I felt comforted that she was taking care of them while we were out of town. Highly recommend her services and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future.
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!
Charlie very gracefully accommodated our last minute request to drop in on our two cats, which we really appreciate. He did an outstanding job ensuring they had food, water, and litter, and was very responsive. We loved receiving updates on the cats every day. Would book again if I have the opportunity.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Forest Hills on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 27,356 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.
