“Jessica is great! Out of all the pet sitters we’ve had, our animals like her the most. She’s very patient with our anxious dog and elderly cat. She’s also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fish and aquatic creatures! Whenever she house sits for us I know we’ll be coming home to a very clean house as well. She is punctual, personable, great with communication, sends pictures and updates, and it’s obvious that she loves animals. I would highly recommend her!”

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.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. While serving on active duty, I consistently walked and cared for dogs for about six years. I’ve also house sat with pets for extended periods, with my longest stay being two weeks. I’m comfortable with animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, keep up with established routines, and give your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I also take house sitting seriously and will treat your home and animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. After taking a break from pet sitting, I’m excited to get back into it and spend more time caring for animals again. I work from home, which makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with drop offs starting at 10 AM. I’m able to provide consistent supervision since I work from home. My community has two dog parks, a dog spa, and a great walking trail, so there are plenty of options for exercise and enrichment. Percy Warner Park is also about four miles away for longer walks and outdoor time. I have two cats at home, so I’m mindful about safe introductions and making sure every animal is comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I’ll even run your dogs if needed!

About: I care for pets the same way I care for my own family, with patience, reliability, and real affection. I pay close attention to the details that matter to each pet such as favorite toys, routines, quirks, energy levels, or comfort needs. I am especially good with puppies who need extra guidance and consistency and with senior pets who benefit from a slower pace and a gentle touch. I make it a priority to communicate with you often so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you are away. What truly sets me apart is the combination of responsibility and genuine love behind everything I do which helps pets feel comfortable, understood, and cared for every moment they are with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already build my days around structure and responsibility as a Lipscomb student. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for regular walks, feeding times, play breaks, and check ins. I enjoy starting my mornings with movement, so taking pets out early fits perfectly. I also have long breaks between classes which allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. On weekends I am even more available, so I can focus fully on longer walks, outings, and extra attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it feels like a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday routine. I live in an apartment that is clean, comfortable, and set up to be a safe space for pets. When caring for pets in my home I follow whatever routines they are used to, keep their environment calm, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I am mindful of their comfort and always keep their feeding, crate, and potty schedules consistent with what they know. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home I make sure to respect their space and follow their established routines exactly. I keep everything clean, stick to the instructions you provide, and give your pet the same level of love and attention they would get if you were home. Whether I am in my own apartment or in your home my focus is always on making your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 13 years old and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for their pets while they were away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I currently have a miniature dachshund, so I have hands-on experience with puppy care, crate training, potty routines, feeding schedules, daily exercise, and reinforcing good behaviors. I know every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I’ll provide attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before work, after work, and throughout the weekends, depending on my schedule. I’m also usually home on the weekends and days I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, exercise, and lots of love. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is pet-proofed to help provide a safe environment for visiting pets. My community is very dog friendly, with a fenced dog park and plenty of sidewalks and green spaces for walks, exercise, and enrichment. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before their stay. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, crate training, or favorite toys, I’ll follow your instructions closely to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is, and I’ll care for your pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own.

About: I have always had a deep passion for animals, which began in childhood when I was thrilled to be old enough to walk my grandparents’ dogs. For the past four years, I’ve also had the joy of being a cat mom, which has further strengthened my appreciation for the love and care that pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and engaged while in my care. In addition to my personal experience, I have over two years of professional pet care experience, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and administering specific care and medical instructions. I am comfortable working with both low-energy and high-energy dogs, and I always tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, as I am off work at 2 p.m. each day and have the remainder of my day available to dedicate to walking or caring for your pet. In addition, I have 3 full days off each week, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Just as I do with my own pet, I carefully monitor the environment to ensure there are no potential hazards, such as unsafe objects, foods, or items that could cause harm. My goal is to provide a secure, comfortable, and caring environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. Whether we’re playing, building trust, or simply sharing space, I find every interaction rewarding!

About: Hey there! I’m Kyle, I am 23 years old and just graduated from the University of South Carolina. I am here in Brentwood with my parents for the next year or so and am trying to make some extra money before I accept a full time job and move out to my own place. I have had many pets since I was born, as well as a lot of random baby/house/pet sitting jobs since I was a freshman in high school. I love all types of dogs and pets, including my gigantic golden labradoodle Striker. I love walking and being outside and would love to meet and take care of your dog!! My schedule is pretty wide open. I have a couple part time jobs but nothing that has me on too tight of a schedule so it is usually super easy for me to switch things around and make things work best for your timing! I have a huge dog that I walk every day and have learned how to be super safe with dogs on the road. I have also grown up with many different dogs and animals so fully trust myself to keep your animals safe.

About: My family has had many pets and I raised and took care of them all since I was a little kid. From Dogs, Cats, Ducks, and Parrots. I’ve done nail and beak clippings to just taking dogs for walks. I am currently a student athlete at Lipscomb University and love animals so I’m looking to make a little money on the side taking care of any pets. I take care of all my dogs and cats when I’m at home and throughout my childhood. I can feed, clean, or take dogs for walks.

About: I would love to help you by providing care for your furry family members! I have worked at kennels and have been a dog owner for the past 8 years in addition to growing up with animals.

I provide sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. I would love to hear from you!! I provide a lot of attention (if they don’t mind), will follow your directions, and treat your home as if it is my own.

About: Hi! I'm Elaina. Most of my pet experience has been caring for my dog Bo, a sweet, goofy German Shepherd I adopted in 2016. We were best buddies for 10 years before he passed, and I miss him every day! He truly changed my life. I've also watched my friends' dogs for years, including mini poodles, beagles, Australian shepherds, pit bulls, multiple dogs at once, watching in my home and theirs. I also temporarily foster for a rescue sometimes. I have experience giving oral medications and subcutaneous injections to my dog, and oral meds to some of the rescue dogs I’ve temp fostered. I have multiple dog beds, bowls, and a large crate I can use if your dogs like a crate! I have a mostly fenced yard (open at the front, but I have a back section that closes and is fully fenced). I love walking every day, and I work a hybrid schedule, working from home three days a week. I live about 10 minutes from my office, so I can check in over lunch when I'm in the office. I love hanging out with dogs and I'm looking forward to making some new puppy friends! I'm a pretty easygoing and patient person. I understand dogs are different, some need different things, some might have accidents and might need to adjust to a new place. I'm here to help and make them feel safe and cared for and loved. My home can be their vacation home while you are away! I work from home three days a week and I'm in the office two days a week. I live 10 mins from my office so can come home over lunch. Currently the in-office days rotate each week, but I’m always home on Fridays. I take a good walk every morning, and maybe another in the afternoon or evening if the weather is nice! At my house I have a mostly fenced in yard (open at the front near the driveway, and fenced around the sides and back, with a section in the back that closes and is fully fenced, so there's an area they can run around). I have three dog beds I'll put out around the house, dog bowls, and a large crate I can put out if they use a crate. They're welcome on the couch and bed. I'll treat them like they're family! I'll stick to whatever feeding schedule and care instructions you provide.

“We had an excellent experience with Maimee. She was timely, responsive, and communicative. We loved receiving notes and photos of our corgi, Rhubarb. She spent plenty of time with her even on the days it rained or Rhubarb preferred to play inside. It was so helpful to have someone we trusted for the week I was out of town.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forest Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forest Hills is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 4,051 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Forest Hills. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forest Hills after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hills. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
