This is my second time leaving my cat with Venetia and she was just as amazing! The pictures I got throughout the trip told me all I needed to know, that my cat loves Venetia and getting to play with her! Thank you, Venetia!

I had Fran make drop-in visits to care for my kitten, Milky, while I was away in Thailand, and she was fantastic! She took the time to play with him, kept him fed, and made sure he had plenty of his favorite treats. I came back to a happy, well-cared for kitty. Highly recommend Fran for any pet parents looking for peace of mind!

About: Growing up in a home filled with a beloved cat and two dogs, animals have always been a central part of my life. I understand firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished family members who deserve the highest level of love, respect, and attentive care.For the past year, I have been working as a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, providing everything from high-energy outdoor walks to cozy overnight stays. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable, calm, and intuitive when it comes to reading an animal's body language and comfort levels. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs a long walk, or a bit shy and prefers quiet, gentle companionship, I adapt my energy to meet their unique needs. I graduated from college and moved back home. I work part time. Pet care fits into my schedule throughout the week. I have 2 dogs of my own. I would love you walk your dog or take care of your cat! I can provide care to pets at my clients home. I will always make sure they are happy, healthy, and have all their needs met.

Teresa is friendly and easy to work with, and her timely (and amusing) reports and photos made me feel relaxed about leaving for my vacation. She helped with the house (looking out for plants, opening the blinds), etc. I would be happy to rebook with Teresa in the future!

There are some really great pet sitters and then there are the ones that have that seventh sense about things that seem to know what's needed in the moment -- that's Hadley. She was so careful to do what was asked but she also did what no human can know that you will need in a LIVE moment. What a great sitter! Thoughtful. Wise. Kind. On time. Organized. Respectful. Great Communication. Really and truly One-of-a-Kind.

Absolutely wonderful! Truly one of the best cat sitters I've ever had, super friendly and responsive - and the cats warmed to her quickly which is a big deal for them! Pets always have a sense of these things. I'm really glad she was able to look over them, I didn't have to worry at all about being gone for a few days. I also booked super last minute and she was really nice about it. Totally recommend!

Thank you so much for taking care of Ollie! We were gone for a longer trip and I was really worried about Ollie getting bored and Justine was able to come up with fun and different ways to stimulate him other than just playing! I truly appreciated that. Highly recommended using Justine to take care of your fur babies!

Sydney was so great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat for an extended period of time, and Sydney always sent photos with each visit and let us know how our cat was doing. Sydney was also super flexible with us too. If we ever needed a cat sitter again, I would want to book Sydney again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Forest Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest Acres on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 515 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest Acres. 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.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.

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.
