About: As someone who’s always had animals, I know it can be hard to leave them and your house with someone new. I’m ready to make the transition as smooth as possible for both you and your furry companion! I’m a full time cosmetology student so I’m free after 3:30 Tuesday through Saturday to commit time to your animals and house whenever you need! And of course I’m flexible to come check in on them throughout the day, just let me know. As I have a kitty of my own, I want to respect your’s and your animals’ space. I’ll make sure they’re fed and their areas clean. That they get attention and play time as needed. And in case of emergency or abnormal behavior, that they are cared for or taken to the vet if warranted. I will take care of them with the love and attention I give my own pet.
“This was my first time using Rover and Kait set the bar high! My furry children were SO well taken care of. Kait was very communicative and sent us the cutest pictures of her spoiling the dogs!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my whole life, and I’ve been hired to care for other people’s pets for at least 4 years! As far as dogs go, I am familiar with basic grooming needs, I love to play and walk, and I have experience with dogs of all sizes!! I’ve cared for elderly dogs as well as overly-energetic puppy types! I am even more experienced with cats! I’ve fostered three litters and have experience with pregnant cats, newborns, elderly cats, and spicy babies!! I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs and would love to do whatever it takes for your pet to thrive! I have an extremely flexible schedule and reliable transportation! I can drop by whenever you need, and I’m of course willing to stay overnight as well!! In your home or mine, I will prioritize treating your pet with love and care! I am always excited to see a furry friend, and I’m committed to doing whatever they need to thrive!
“Always feels so good to know Sophia is looking after our pets when we’re out of town! We’ve used her for a couple trips and it’s life changing knowing you have someone you can rely on when you’re not home!”
About: I love any and all dogs. I would love to play, walk, feed, and love on your dog when you can’t. I have grown up with dogs my entire life.. I lost my 16 year old golden and need to be around some pets! I can be very flexible with times and will work with your schedule as needed. I will communicate with you as much or as little as you would like, to take the ease of being away from your loved one more comfortable. I work full time Monday-Thursday 8-5. I can come home at lunch time for a quick potty and walk break. Weekends I’m flexible and can work around your schedule. I will follow any feeding/water schedule that you have in place. Your pet will be well taken care of! Any instructions you have, I will follow.
About: I love dogs and have taken care of them all my life! I recently lost my companion of 12 years in April 2026, Finley, who passed onto the rainbow bridge due to old age. Finley was a 120lb gentle giant, so I am highly experienced with large breeds and dogs of all sizes. Whether you have a Great Dane or a Pomeranian, I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. Being a dog lover while no longer having one has been heartbreaking for me, but it also means that I now have the opportunity to hangout with your pup! :) I only ask for a week in advance notice and prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand to see if we align. Take a look at my calendar and see what works for you! I work my day job Thursday through Sunday and am currently available for house sitting Sunday night through Thursday morning and drop-in visits M, T, W. I am available to come to your home or your dog is welcome to stay at mine! I live in a 900 Sq. Ft. apartment with plenty of space for a small or medium dog or a low activity older large breed. I have two orthopedic beds that are cleaned thoroughly after each stay and two dog bowls.
“Taylor has been the best Rover sitter so far! She was so kind and thoughtful. She has excellent communication skills including offering a lot of photos of her time with my sweet Daisy. And kept my home tidy while we were away. I highly recommend Taylor!”
“Avery is always so wonderful with our pup! She is quick to respond, sends a detailed report and photos, and is always on time! I highly recommend her to help and we will continue to have her watch our dog!”
“Tori is the wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my odin. Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She kept me in the loop about everything going on. I would wholeheartedly recommend tori😍”
“Taylor is incredible. Super easy to work with and adaptable to me being in and out of meetings which I truly appreciate. She also tried fun little games with my cat I never thought of trying and has officially taken my favorite photo of him. She's the best!”
About: My passion for animal welfare extends beyond pet ownership. Over the years, I have volunteered with animal shelters and rescue organizations, including the Humane Society and ProCanine, assisting with the care, socialization, and well-being of dogs and cats awaiting adoption. As a vegetarian and lifelong animal advocate, I am deeply committed to treating every animal with compassion, patience, and respect. My volunteer work has given me experience working with pets of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds, including animals that require extra attention, reassurance, or specialized care. I also have experience supporting basic veterinary care needs, including administering medications under guidance, monitoring animals during recovery, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and assisting with transportation to veterinary appointments. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a senior cat, or a rescue animal adjusting to a new environment, I strive to provide attentive, reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I part time as a substitute teacher and residential faculty member. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for drop-in visits, cat and dog care, feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency in a pet’s routine and will work with you to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. As an educator and animal welfare volunteer, safety, trust, and responsibility are central to everything I do. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household rules. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, allowing them to interact at their own pace. I maintain a clean and secure environment, monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Pet sitting and walking was my first job in middle school, and I’ve loved caring for fur babies ever since! In my 10 years of experience, I’ve taken care of cat and dogs and even worked at an animal rescue center in Ecuador, so I can handle it all. I am currently offering pet drop ins and walking services. My clients can count on me for consistency, detailed updates, and, most of all, that I will take care of your pets as my own. I have two cats and grew up with dogs, so I know how important it is that your pets receive the best care. I have a soft spot for giant breed dogs because I grew up with an Irish Wolfhound and Great Pyrenees! Reach out to me, and let’s discuss how I can provide the best care for your pet! I’m a college student interning in Nashville for the summer from 9 am to 3 pm. This means I can drop in to care for your pet before most 9 to 5 jobs end! I can do one drop in and/or walk before work and as many as you need in the afternoon or evenings. I’m also available all day on the weekends. I will follow your instructions to the letter! Whether it’s ensuring they get their medication, exercise, or cuddle time, I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s care routine. All pets will receive lots of love from me:) Please reach out to me with any special requests or care your pet may require, and I’ll be more than happy to accommodate them.

Amanda was great with my cat RC! Amanda came on time, fed RC each visit, scooped the litter box and spent lots of time sitting with RC for cuddles. Not every Rover sitter will sit and give attention to a cat, so it was so wonderful that Amanda spent time engaging RC and sent many pictures!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest Hills on Rover is $26.64 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,058 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hills. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
