Top rated Forest Hills house sitters
“Ivy was great with our stubborn and aloof dog, Itza. She took time and went at Itza's pace, even coming over VERY early on the day I left to make sure Itza could warm up to her a bit before their week together. The house looks just how I left it and all our plants seem even happier than they were when we left.”
“Lucy was amazing with my dog and worked with me to understand her schedule and needs. She sent lots of update pictures and had great communication the whole time! She also was willing to pet sit Skye pretty last minute and was overall very flexible. Skye loved her and will definitely book again!”
“Schirn was a great house sitter! She gave me pup dates along the way and was easy to communicate with. She left the house spotless and my pup was in good spirits when I came home. Would book again!”
“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”
“Ava was prompt, sent tons of pictures and videos and seemed to love spending time with our cat. She responded quickly when messaged and was a respectful house guest.”
“I’m so lucky I found Ariel. She is so skilled and confident and somehow she got my very selective pit bulls to like and listen to her within hours of meeting them! Her knowledge of dog behavior and ability to control them was apparent literally 5 minutes after she walked into my house. I give her a 10 out of 5 stars! She exceeded every expectation I had and I believe this the start of a long relationship. I can finally relax enough to take a real vacation, thanks to Ariel.”
“Alex was wonderful - asked good questions, accommodated specific requests and needs, pleasant to communicate with, was a respectful house sitter and most importantly, was very kind when meeting and caring for my pups, one of which who is senior and a bit high need. Thank you Alex!”
“I was incredibly hesitant to leave my dog behind for a long weekend, Mandel sensed that, and helped me by being attentive during our conversation, patient and helpful when I was having anxiety about leaving, and sending pictures after I left that provided me a sigh of relief. Mandel took amazing care of my dog and home. He communicated often throughout the engagement, insured medicine was given, walks were taken, and met with me beforehand to walk me through all the need-to-know practices and processes that I would've forgot to mention and ensured a seamless experience. My dog definitely misses Mandel and we're both grateful for his help. We'll be rovering with Mandel from now on!”
“Cathy took such amazing care of Wiggles, my 8 month old puppy and my space! Not only was she diligent in watching Wiggy for his housebreaking needs, Wiggy LOVED spending time with Cathy. She tired him out for the day and a tired pup is a happy pup!”
“Loved Lauren! Perfect sitting experience - would absolutely rebook.”
About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a nursing student studying at D’Youville University in Buffalo on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am available every day from Monday to Sunday. With plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing. My goal? Happy tails, comfy naps, and peace of mind for you.

Ashly E.
“Ashly is a very compassionate young woman who loves dogs dearly. I adopted a dog a year ago and she was there while I was receiving him; she would always be gentle with him and play with him. She has also helped me care for him whenever she would visit me, such as helping me feed him, helping me teach him tricks, and she has given me valuable advice that would keep my dog safe and happy. She has always proven to be reliable and is always there when I need help caring for my dog. She has taken care of him whenever I am not home and makes sure that my dog is fully taken care of, whether that's with feeding, playing, or walking him. She is a very responsible person and I trust her to care for not only my dog, but other dogs as well. I highly recommend her for this position.”

Forest Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
I could not be more happy with Alyssa’s services. She cat sat for my 7 month old kittens during the July 4th weekend for 5 days. She kept in touch with me everyday on the status of my kittens. She continuously sent me pictures multiple times per day and constantly assured me that my boys were healthy and doing well. Furthermore, she managed to bond with one of my shy kittens and kept me updated on how the progression of their connection. She ensured my kittens were fed in the morning and evening, and gave them treats throughout the day. Lastly, she made sure to play with my kittens throughout her stay, keeping them entertained throughout the cat sitting visit. If you need a cat sitter while going out of town, definitely hire Alyssa. She’s awesome!
Tenzin took fantastic care of all of our pets. Our kitten had a surprise emergency and she handled his medication and care very well. It was clear that all of our pets love her. I would be happy to hire her again anytime!
Ryan was excellent. He took good care of my grumpy cat and dealt expertly with an apartment issue while I was away for almost 2 weeks. I highly recommend Ryan!
Analucia (along with her adorable pup!) took care of our dog while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and videos of their walks and snuggle time. When we came home, our apartment was clean and our dog was healthy, happy, and utterly exhausted from all the fun. Highly recommend!
Cathy recently watched our cat and dog and also house-sat for us — she was amazing! Not only did she take wonderful care of our “kids,” but I think our apartment was actually cleaner than we left it. She sent lots of photos and updates, checked in regularly, and made sure we felt connected the whole time. Before the stay, she even offered to come by to see our place and meet the pets — they warmed up to her faster than they ever have with anyone new! We immediately felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Cathy clearly has a special connection with animals, and we’ll absolutely be using her again.
Raja was fantastic! He took great care of our energetic 1yr pup and looked over our place while we were gone for a long weekend. Highly recommend!
Marcos was great - very responsive and super helpful. He checked in often to let me know how my dog was doing, and I really appreciate him!
Katie is outstanding! She was very attentive, accommodating, and our fur baby loved spending time with her. Highly recommended!
Dagi was great! She arrived a little early as requested and was a great sitter for our anxious little pup.
Tashi was a total professional and our dog loved spending time with her. She came to our rescue with a very last minute booking for in home care and she took wonderful care of our golden retriever. Tashi is an excellent communicator and the perfect person to look after your fur baby. We couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you Tashi!
Stephen is always such a wonderful sitter for Una. We really appreciate the quality time Stephen gives her and how clearly he communicates with us. We trust him immensely.
Adriana stayed at my house to watch my two cats for over a week. Absolutely no complaints! She was communicative and reliable.
Tiffany was super helpful even with my dog that has trouble with new people. I would definitely book again!
Amazing! I was gone for four days and so nervous about leaving my puppy alone. Kelly proved to be top-notch with no issues. Sent me unprompted pictures and updates. Will definitely book again!
Megan was super great at watching my cat. My cat required multiple different medicines and Megan did a great job administering them and keeping her on schedule!
Andrea took excellent care of my cat, playing with her and giving her extra treats, and she was kind enough to keep extending her stay when I was dealing with flight delays. I recommend her highly!
Tracey had open communication throughout and even dealt with my dog’s unexpected tummy troubles during the stay. She also left the apartment very tidy. Thank you for watching him.
As always a super sitter! My dogs adore her. So glad she was able to accommodate her schedule and watch them. They all had fun and lots of exercises. She’s also so sweet. Thanks Matilda!
