About: I've had dogs most of my life and handled every dog emergency there is. I have kind and gentle nature and have lot's of experience both pups that have endless energy and older dogs that need a little more help. I work part time from home helping women who are caring for their parents so I'm very flexible and can often even change my schedule to fit yours. I feel strongly that the advantage of having pet care in your home is that they get to keep their routine! So my rule is follow instructions while making sure they feel safe and loved.
“Kait was amazing and so easy to communicate with! So glad she brought her pup along for Ralph to have someone to play and walk with!! 10/10 recommend! She sent lots of updates and pictures!”

About: Hi, my name is Sophia! I’m a proud owner of a 11 year old Jack Russel/Staffy mix named Liam! He’s typically shy with other dogs at first but opens up after a good few sniffs. I also have two cats named Emilio and Antonio. They want to be friends with Liam so badly but he hilariously ignores their affections. I have enjoyed working with animals most of my life and I’m experienced with dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and snakes. Having worked at a veterinary clinic all through high school, I then volunteered at the local animal shelter throughout college. I absolutely adore all animals and all the much needed love they bring. I can’t wait to meet yours! I work two part-time jobs as well as gigging in the music scene. My schedule is either super open or sometimes less so! That being said, my family has moved to town so I will always be around for the holidays. My dog has separation anxiety so at-home stays can be tough but not impossible as I also have a lovely roommate he adores. My cats are good with dogs as well! I’m very experienced with drop-in visits and overnight stays. I follow instructions well and can easily cater to the needs of your pup or pups.
“Taylor did an awesome job taking my pup for a walk! She communicated the entire time, and she followed all instructions perfectly. It was clear she cared about my pup, which means a lot as his owner. I would trust Taylor with my pups in the future!”

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.
“Samantha did a drop-in visits with lily and she was absolutely fantastic! Kept me up to date the entire time and made sure lily was exercised and loved on. I will definitely be using her again and again!!!”

About: I'm Maddie, and my two dogs, Jimmy and Fallon (the J and F in the company name), and my cat, Tige, are my entire world, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur babies. As a lifelong pet owner and long-term volunteer with local animal shelters and Saddle Up Nashville, my goal is to give you peace of mind while you're gone and to treat your pets like members of my own family. I am the owner of a full-time pet care company, so pet care fits daily into my routine. I am available every day of the week to provide needed care. I am insured through Pet Sitters Associates, so you can have peace of mind when providing me with access to your home and beloved animals. I offer services ranging from check-ins, feedings, walks, and basic grooming for dogs, cats, and small animals. I provide photo evidence while/after caring for your pet.

“Andrei was a great sitter! I missed my pup dearly while traveling but the photo updates of a happy pup helped!! Thank you to Andrei for taking care of my fur baby!”
“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!”

“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: 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 am my friends go to pet sitter. I love pets of all shapes and sizes and will make sure they are doing well and having a good day while you are out and about. I love spending part of my day and week by taking pets on a walk or just checking in on them as needed during the day. I will take care of your pet and home however best suits you and your pet. They will be taken on a walk if needed and given a fun buddy to play with.
“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!”


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.
“My dog is rather timid, and often doesn’t take well to strangers, but she seemed to warm up to Matthew in no time! I love the pictures he sent and I would absolutely hire him again!”


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.

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.
