Having Angela come even after the first meeting felt so relieved she put me at ease and was so understanding, reassuring having own cats just had a calming presence that I really appreciated. She was very communicative regarding when coming, letting me know if going to be late even came a little early one time. Really meant alot to me to know that they were okay/taken care of been alot of personal things going on in my family this year so was just really nice to know that someone was there for them while I was gone just felt like she went above and beyond what I asked. Definately would recomend and hire again :) so if you are a first time pet mom or just looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who cares for animals she watches, great communication skills and following directions, look no further highly recomend Angela :) ChatGPT said: Here’s a polished, warm, and professional version that keeps your heart in it while flowing a bit more smoothly. I kept the tone genuine and appreciative, just tightened wording and clarity: After having a few pet sitters—some great and some just okay—I’ve realized how stressful it can be to entrust someone with your babies, especially over the holidays, even if it’s only for a couple of days. I definitely felt that pet-mom guilt about leaving them. From the very first meeting, Angela immediately put me at ease. She was so understanding and reassuring, and having cats of her own, she brought a calm and comforting presence that I truly appreciated. She was extremely communicative—letting me know when she was arriving, giving updates if she was running late, and even arriving a little early one time. That level of communication meant so much to me. Knowing my babies were safe and well cared for brought me such peace of mind, especially during a year with a lot of personal family stress. It was incredibly comforting to know someone was there for them while I was away. Angela truly went above and beyond what I asked, and I’m so grateful for the care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely hire her again. If you’re a first-time pet parent or simply looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter with great communication skills who follows directions and genuinely loves animals—look no further. I highly recommend Angela! 🐾💛 If you want it shorter (for Rover, Google, or Yelp) or more emotional vs. more professional, I can tailor it to the platform you’re posting on. You said: Reword for a review ChatGPT said: Here’s a concise, polished review version that still feels genuine and heartfelt: After having a mix of good and okay pet sitters, I’ve realized how stressful it can be to trust someone with your pets—especially over the holidays. From our first meeting, Angela immediately put me at ease. Her calm presence, understanding nature, and experience as a cat owner made me feel confident leaving my babies in her care. Angela was extremely communicative, always letting me know when she was coming, updating me if she was running late, and even arriving early once. With a lot of personal family things going on this year, it meant so much to know my pets were safe, cared for, and checked on regularly. She truly went above and beyond what I asked. I would absolutely recommend and hire Angela again. If you’re a first-time pet parent or looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter with great communication skills, Angela is wonderful. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was great with Milo, she sent me pictures and updates with every visit and was kind enough to feed my fish while I was away. Would definitely recommend and book again for taking care of my pupper.”
“Our kitties are SOOO blessed and fortunate to have Ms. Laura take care of them again. Truthfully, she keeps their routine better than we do!… And they know it. 😅 When we get home, they look at us like, “Where is Ms. Laura?” “What did you DO WITH HER?” Our little old Jake pushes past his shoulder arthritis just to tap on her and let her know he wants more of her affection. When we get home, they are always so healthy and happy. We also truly appreciate how Miss Laura communicates With us, sends us pictures And little stories of all of the kitty cat shenanigans that they test her with, lol. Not to mention, she also takes great care of our plants while we are gone. Our kitties are very elderly, kind of rickety and they have a good amount of quirks about them. Ms. Laura knows exactly the way to hold them and keep them safe and comfortable in their old age. There is no one on this planet I would ever trust with my little babies other than Ms. Laura!”
“Maddie was wonderful with my kitties! They bonded with her fast and she was very thorough, responsive, and overall did a great job! Would definitely book her again!”

Anna is fantastic! She took care of our two cats for about 10 days while we were out of the country, and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout our trip. It was such a relief knowing our cats were being well taken care of while we were away. We really appreciate everything she did and would definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️
I was very grateful to Serenity and Daniel for being available to look after Spud at short notice. My cat can be a little shy at first, but he came out to say Hi to Serenity. I felt that he was happy with her and that put my mind completely at ease. Serenity followed all my instructions and sent me photos of Spud. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I can highly recommend her to anyone else who is seeking care for their cat.
Abigail was so wonderful with my cat. I am a first time cat mom. This was also my first time leaving my baby for a period of time. Abigail put my worries at ease. She gave me updates, and my baby looked very happy. She will be my first choice next time I need a sitter.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Forest is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $20 per visit.

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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 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 sitter.
