“Vanessa took great care of our cat Teddy while we were away. We appreciated her questions in our meet and greet and her attention to detail in his care. Teddy misses her already!”
About: Hello, my name is Bianca I am currently a senior in high school. I have a cat named Cleo she is 13 years old now, I got her was she was just a baby from a family friend. At first she was shy and would pee on everything, but she was my birthday present and my favorite person in the world so with patience and love I cared for her when my parents were ready to get rid of her. Now Cleo is an calm cat, who loves to be pet by everyone and I think that’s because of the patience and care that I showed her. Every morning when I wake up at 7:00 am and I feed my cat. At around 7:20 am I go to the gym for around 1 hour and come back home around 10:00 am. I feed my cat some treats and refill her water at 12:00pm. Her next feeding time is 5:00pm. I have a indoor cat, she eats twice daily but sleeps most of the day. She sleeps in a air conditioned room, with 2 blankets.
“Second time using Jennifer - our usual sitter fell through last minute and she was so quick to respond to our last minute request. Very reliable!”
“Laura’s care of our cat Lila was top notch as always. Super responsive and timely, and Lila responds really well to her - eats, plays and is happy. Satisfied repeat customers!”
“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: Since adopting my own pup in 2022, I’ve fallen in love with caring for dogs of all kinds—from energetic puppies who need playtime galore to sweet seniors who prefer gentle cuddles. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, mastering the art of patience, routine, and tail-wagging fun. Working from home means your dog gets constant companionship, potty breaks on schedule, and plenty of affection. Your furry friend will be treated like family! 💕 Since I work from home full-time on weekdays, I’m always around to give your pup constant love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks (my own dog goes out 4+ times a day, so yours will get the same care!). On weekends and days off, I love staying active—whether it’s leisurely walks, park trips, or cozy downtime, I adapt to your dog’s energy level. From high-energy pups to laid-back seniors, I make sure every dog feels at home while sticking to their routine. Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll keep their tail wagging! My dog-friendly loft is a cozy, secure space wherever pups are welcome on furniture (including the bed!)—because let’s be honest, snuggles are non-negotiable. To keep things clean and safe, I wipe all paws after walks and tidy up any messes immediately. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s puppy-proofing for curious noses or senior-friendly accommodations. Rest assured, your pup will enjoy a happy, hygienic, and hazard-free stay!
“Betty did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She’s very responsive, professional, and easy to work with, and her notes and pictures were great. I’m already booking her for another round of cat sitting.”
“Qilin is an incredible sitter and we wouldn’t trust our boy Felix with anyone else. Extremely punctual, communicative and caring toward Felix, who loves having her as a sitter. 10/10!”
“Melanie & Veronica were excellent cat sitters. I was nervous about leaving our two cats and turtle for 10 days but they provided excellent feedback and photos, which I looked forward to. It made me feel at ease to know they were in such good hands and were well cared for. They also left two treats from them! I would absolutely use them again.”
“Tedy was amazing from the moment she met Angel! Thank you so much for caring for him while I was away - you were extremely professional and willing to go above and beyond, qualities that are hard to find these days. Angel and I will definitely be calling you any time I’m going on vacation or need a sitter!! Thank you thank you!!❤️”
“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!”
“Great with guinea pigs! I recently had Catalina do some drop-in visits to check on my guinea pig, and she was fantastic. Guinea pigs are very social animals, so usually when I leave mine alone for very long he's quite grouchy and cold afterward. With Catalina, though, he was super friendly and happy when I came home. She definitely took the time to play with him and talk with him, and I really appreciate it! ”

With me and my sisters taking care of your pup, they’ll never be alone—there’s always someone home to give them love and attention. I have a sweet Toy Australian Shepherd named Riley, who would love to make new friends! Your pups are more than welcome to stay with us while you're out of town. Rest assured, they’ll receive plenty of affection and playtime. I can’t wait to meet your furry companions! I’m currently working from home which means I’ll have plenty of time to play with your beloved furry friends! I also have two sisters at home who are just as experienced as I am! ( Your furry friends will never be home alone!) If I’m not free my sisters will be free, there will always be someone at home! I have a very playful toy Aussie named Riley and she’ll happily keep your furry friends company. I have plenty of toys and treats to offer too ( Riley loves sharing!) There is plenty of space for your furry friends to run around / chill.
“Chase was attentive to all of my dog’s needs while I was away and send regular updates about his behavior. I definitely plan to trust the care of my dog with Chase in the future!”
“Wow! Marla stepped in at the last minute when I needed a cat sitter for my two kittens and went above and beyond in taking care of them. She is phenomenal.”
“I’ve been booking Dane’s sister for a while now, and she has been very reliable and responsive . Communication is easy and she gives excellent updates. My cat Flurry is shy, but he’s slowly getting more comfortable with her. Hopefully he ll get as playful and cuddly with her that he is with me. I appreciate that she tries to adapt her care with Flurry preferences and that I can rely on her every week.”
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”.
Forest Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.
I’ve been using Melanie’s services for the past few times we’ve been traveling out of town, the longest being 10 days out of town! She is so attentive and responsive and I trust my baby Nuni with her. Having her has been a lifesaver and I recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! <3333
Paula was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she took such good care of our babies. We have two cats that she visited and fed every morning while we were on vacation . She was really responsive, responsible, friendly , loving and kind . I got videos and photos everyday along with updates . She was a blessing . I was totally at ease knowing she was caring for our boys . I highly recommend her !
Another fantastic set of visits with Mark! All three of our cats love him and he goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable while we’re away. My wife and I look forward to his messages, photos, and videos - they add so much joy and comfort to our trips!
Laura is very attentive and took great care of my cat, Bunny! Bunny had some mild diarrhea right before we left for our trip, but thanks to Laura’s attentive care, she was back to her healthy self in no time. She also kept me updated and took lots of pics which I really appreciated. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Jennifer was fantastic—even our most bashful cat, who had to be allowed to eat in the bedroom on her first day, was showing up to greet Jen at the front door by the end of her gig. We got plenty of photos from each session, and they were happy and full of energy when I finally came home. I would definitely ask her to take care of our cats again!
Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!
Emily took such wonderful care of my cats, Tigerlily and Dante, and we are all very grateful for her. This was our first time leaving our cats behind. We were nervous but Emily made the whole experience completely stress-free with her kindness, consistent updates, and genuine love for animals. Tigerlily is usually pretty shy, and Dante loves attention, but somehow Emily made both of them feel so comfortable and cared for. She sent sweet photos and messages that really reassured me they were happy, and getting lots of love while we were away. When we came home, both cats were relaxed and had clearly enjoyed their time with her. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and that kind of trust and warmth means everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful cat sitter. Five stars without hesitation!
Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!
This is our second time hiring Tedy to watch after our cat Baloo, and we couldn’t be happier! Shes so kind, incredibly communicative and has a natural gift with animals. We felt so assured our entire trip abroad that Baloo was in the best hands. Thank you!
