As usual, Jessica was awesome taking care of my 3 chihuahuas. I like using Jessica not only because she does a great job of taking care of Pablo, Izzy, and Mooch, but also the continuity and familiarity the dogs have when she comes over. She always communicates with me with pictures and texts. One of my older dogs needs several medications and she is always accurate when giving Pablo his medications. Thanks, Jessica for taking such good care of my babies! Stefny Craft

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!

Was willing to help me out with a pretty inconvenient schedule (daily, early morning and again late evening). Always kept us informed with how things were going, followed all the various procedures we gave her, and sent pictures. Responded to communication quickly and was very easy to work with. We had unorthodox pets to watch, too: chickens. Beverly got to know them over the week and work with each of their personalities.

Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.

I would highly recommend Hadley to anyone in the area looking for a highly trusted, dependable, conscientious fellow cat lover to care for feline companion(s). I was worried and felt guilty for leaving my kitty Xyla at home while I was gone away for 7 days. Hadley provided me with daily texts and photo updates so I knew how they were doing. I had the peace of mind and I trusted Hadley. Xyla enjoyed her daily visits & playtime. I look forward to having Hadley again and I will urge others to use Hadley’s services as well.

Johann is fantastic! Our 2 pups Bacot and Karl absolutely adore Johann and it was clear that Johann truly cares about them. He took care of them as if they were his very own. His communication was second to none and he let us know how they were every step of the way. Despite our tugging labs he always kept them safe and left no shadow of a doubt that they were in the best of hands. 100% will call on him again in the future to take care of our babies!

Heather has been a blessing from above. We have been fortunate to have the same pet sitter for our Penny for years but excitingly she left to further her college degree up North. Picking a new sitter to take care of your family member and be in your home personal areas can be hard. Heather is at most an uplifting character and has the best personality, our Penny loved and warmed up to her instantly during their meet and greet. Heather sent detailed updates with pictures, she was extremely prompt on all four of the drop-ins daily, and took Penny on extra nice walks in our neighbor when the weather was nice for the day to get her outside more for some more vitamin D and exercise. We have stray neighborhood cats on our front porch that I have fed for the last six years while here and she even took it upon herself to feed them while we were away, She clearly loves all animals with all of her heart. We truly appreciate her and we already have our next out of town week booked for May and hope she is available. Thank you again for everything. Caroline, Robert & Penny

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 508 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:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
