About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have 5 dogs of my own and absolutely love dogs. I know how to work well with young dogs and senior dogs. I’m currently on summer break from college. I have a lot of free time during the days and absolutely love dogs and taking care of them. As someone who has experience caring for multiple dogs of different ages and personalities, I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to laid-back senior dogs. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, secure, and stress-free.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and currently live with five of them, including three senior dogs and two puppies. Most of the dogs I’ve had throughout my life have been rescues. Caring for dogs of all ages has given me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and handling a variety of needs and personalities. I volunteered at the Lovejoy Foundation in California for about five years, walking and taking care of sheltered dogs. I also walked dogs for neighbors when I was younger, which helped me gain experience caring for pets outside my own family. I love animals so much and am passionate about providing them with the care and attention they deserve. I can't wait to meet and care for your furry friend! I am home for the summer and, as a collegiate athlete, I maintain a training schedule, but it is very flexible. This allows me plenty of time throughout the day to provide adequate care and visit multiple times if needed. I am committed to being dependable and ensuring your pet is well cared for while you're away. Because I currently have my own five dogs, I am not able to provide pet care in my own home. However, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home. Having cared for dogs my entire life, including both puppies and senior dogs, I am comfortable handling a variety of situations and am committed to following any specific instructions or routines you provide.
“Corrie came through for us after a cancellation and is a fantastic sitter! She communicates quickly and our Walter loves her! She made sure he had a good walk, treats, and snuggles 😊. She is very kind and responsible and we hope to book her again soon!”
“Josephine is an excellent communicator. She provides updates on my fur baby while I’m at work and I get the cutest pictures while they are out on walks. It’s brings me peace of mind knowing she is being well taken care of.”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals my whole life. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining a clean environment. I’ve cared for pets with a range of personalities, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routines and treat every animal like my own. I am currently a grad student with a pretty flexible schedule! I am available most weekdays after 2 pm and all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection!! I also keep your home clean and am happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Kelsey is so great with our Goldendoodle. She’s been walking him for over a year now. She’s always on time for his walks and he looks forward to hanging out with her!!”
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 fostering and owning dogs for my whole entire life. I’ve been taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes since I was young. I take care of my own pets every single day. I feed them, play with them, and make sure they have everything they might need. I know how to deal with and take care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I also know how to play with them often.
“Carey was very attentive, taking notes before walking my pup and was very communicative throughout! My dog was very happy after and I could tell she was well cared for! Highly recommend!”
“She is amazing. Very responsive. Sends lots of pictures and updates about the walk. I appreciate getting know how long the walk was, the distance, and if they went to the bathroom. She goes above and beyond with washing dog bowls and even changing his clothes”
About: Growing up, I’ve always been around animals and caring for pets. I had a corgi named Mickey, a bunny rabbit named Kiki, a German shepherd/hound mix rescue named Bailey, and a dachshund/terrier mix named Cinnamon. I’ve also helped house sit and care for my siblings’ dogs many times, including a shorkie mix named Oakley and a goldendoodle named Ranger. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time during the week, but I am available for pet care before and after work, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I maintain a stable schedule and can provide reliable, consistent care while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I pride myself on being responsive, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets in someone else’s care. I always prioritize safety, patience, and consistency while following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or during house sitting, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.
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 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!
“I asked Kayla to help with my puppy while I was at work and she was nothing short of phenomenal. Great communication, timely updates and very flexible and helpful. Truly appreciate the help and support, Kayla!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest Hills on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,208 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 your 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Forest Hills.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
