“Carla did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was dependable, communicative, and treated them with great care. We came home to happy pups and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Heidi was fantastic! She communicated well and took the best pictures of my 2 cats. I had to book last minute and she was very nice about it and was even able to stay an extra day when my flight was canceled. She took excellent care of the pets and the home. If I ever need to get a pet sitter again I will be using Heidi if she's available!”
“Sarah was great! She was able to do a couple of meet and greets so our dogs were familiar with her which made us all feel good. She communicated well and loved all the pictures we got!”
“Ashley is incredible! We decided to do a meet and greet with our lab since it was our first time using rover drop-in visits. Ashley was more than happy to meet with us and even spent time playing with our Gus during the visit! During visits Ashley takes great care of our lab. I always look forward to Gus’s visit card where Ashley provides detailed information on the visit and THE BEST photos of their time spent together. Ashley was also super flexible when our visit schedules changed and even helped us out last minute. She is our go-to pet sitter!”
“I definitely recommend Stephanie, she took great care of my cat Tsunami, she played with her, petted her and followed all instructions put in rover. Tsunami had a great time with Stephanie, and looked very happy!”
About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m currently a graduate student looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love — caring for animals. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and since high school I’ve volunteered at animal shelters helping care for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a graduate student completing my degree online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I also go to the gym daily for about an hour and a half, which fits easily into my routine while still allowing plenty of availability for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, drop-ins, and overnight care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to spend my time with pets while also earning extra income during grad school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow routines carefully, pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, and make responsible decisions to keep everyone safe — including your pets, your home, and myself. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs extra patience, I provide attentive and compassionate care at all times.
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was clear and precise. He punctuality was awesome. She even altered her visit time to better facilitate our fur babies. Plenty of pictures and awesomely detailed updates. I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitter needs.”
“I had to leave unexpectedly to visit a sick sister. Chelsea did an amazing job with a very short run through of what my cat needed. In addition my cat is a 9 year old indoor rescue that I have not even had a year, so she is a little leary of people. She took right to Chelsea. Having to leave unexpectedly brought it own challenges and Chelsea went above and beyond in looking out for Luna, my cat. I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea and highly recommend her.”
“Our first experience with Rover couldn't have been better and it's all thanks to Dezarae! We really appreciated the updates and pictures every time she checked on our turtle & elderly cat while we were on vacation. They both seem to warm up to Dezarae quickly and we'd highly recommend using her to pet/house sit! We'll definitely be asking her to come back whenever we leave town from now on!”
“My dog and cat absolutely lived her based on the pictures we recieved! My dog usually doesnt like adults but after the meet and greet we already knew she would get along with her well. Very communicative and sent lots of pictures! Would definitely request again.”
“Jennifer is the best!!!!!!! We were not comfortable with our first dogs Rover sitter, and she responded right away offering to help!! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Savanna is amazing! We have 4 animals and she met with us before our trip to give us peace of mind and she worked with us when our flights got changed and we needed to come back at a different time. All the while she sent pictures and updates of our animals. I highly recommend her!”
“Courtney was great with our dog. He was alive and happy when we got home. He was well taken care of and didn’t chew up our house. She sent pictures and let us know how he was doing.”

If I ever need to get a pet sitter again I will be using Heidi if she's available!
Heidi was great! My cats seemed like they really liked her. They are a bit iffy about strangers, but both cats seemed to feel comfortable with her from the first day (seeing as they were both in the photos). She was very communicative during during her visits which made me feel a lot better. I'm pretty anxious about leaving my cats, but felt a lot better after her first drop-in. She takes great photos which is also comforting, since they seem to be happy in their photos. Came home to a couple of calm and satisfied kitties! I'll definitely work with heidi again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Black Forest on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,332 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Black Forest. 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.

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.
