“This was my first time with her as a dog sitter and I had a great experience. I felt very confident throughout, especially because of her detailed updates, photos, and clear communication about anything that came up. She was reliable and easy to communicate with, and she took great care of my dogs. They were in excellent condition when I returned. I will definitely book her again in the near future.”
“Carli was great! She stopped in to visit my kitties and made sure they had all the needed. Very nice personality and excellent communicator. Would definitely recommend her to others and would book her services again in the future if needed!”
About: Our family has over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including two dogs and a cat. Through the years, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from active younger pets to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. An added perk, I am currently working remote from home and will be able to be home with your pets the majority of the day! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with flexibility for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins. I am home most of the day and can give pets the attention and care they need while maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, maintaining their routines, and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I am committed to providing a clean home, close supervision, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, I am able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship, bathroom breaks, and regular attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own.
“Emma was absolutely wonderful with my pets! She provided drop-in visits twice a day on the days when my boyfriend or neighbor wasn’t able to be there, and she handled all of their complicated little routines so easily. I was honestly a little nervous about finding someone who could keep up with everything, but Emma was fantastic. Her daily reports were incredibly detailed, and I really appreciated knowing how each visit went and how my pets were doing throughout my trip. She made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were being checked on, cared for, and getting everything they needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emma and would happily book her again! ❤️”
“Megan is so reliable, communicative, and loves our animals so much! She is very understanding and happy to follow long sets of directions. She has watched our pets multiple times and I would highly recommend her!”
“She took great care of Nudy while I was away. I really appreciated the detailed updates, photos, and notes after each visit. Nudy looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and I could tell she gave him lots of attention. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Zachary is a wonderful and timely dog sitter. He is thoughtful the the needs of your pet and is very loving and gentle with them. I am so happy he left a door hanger on my door and alerted me to his services. I will use him everytime I go out of town because my dog prefers him to a kennel. Thank you Zach!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little, friends and family rely on me to pet sit for their babies all the time! I have a dog and cat at home so I know how to handle both cuties! I’d love to get to know more animals and help out with your animal needs :)) I only have one class that's in the mornings (8-10AM) and I'm free for the whole day after that on Mondays and Wednesday! Thursdays I work during 5-11pm so I can do morning walks, Saturdays I work morning so I’ll be able to do evening walks! Tuesdays and Sundays are free all day! I can accommodate to any environment, if your dog would like to go out into the backyard that will happen, if they want to sit around and be lazy, that can also happen! In your home I will only be where your dog and will only touch things that are needed for your pet.
“Orly was amazing! She took care of the kitties while I was away on vacation. Got pictures daily and knew everything at home was running as usual while I was away! Thank you so much Orly. See you soon! :)”
“Christina is so wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than family. Christina is patient and knowledgeable. My dog was extremely nervous and anxious but Christina was able to comfort her. She took the best care of and I’m so grateful!!! I highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Phoebe is an absolute lifesaver! She jumped in to help me last minute and went completely above and beyond. I had a complicated situation with my three dogs and Phoebe handled everything, including three flights of stairs and some unexpected messes, with total professionalism and kindness. Because of her, I was able to focus on my trip without the constant worry I started with. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares for your fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Jonathan is incredibly kind & gentle with my cat - he is also so communicative! I was anxious initially using rover but Jonathan has made me feel so at peace when I’m out of town. I highly recommend him ✨”
“Camryn was absolutely awesome! She dropped in on my babies for 4 days while I took a mini birthday trip. Camryn checked in on my boys, sent pics and sent updates. She was very attentive to my boys and how they were feeling. She respected my babies and my house. I absolutely recommend using Camryn’s services! Thank you Camryn!”
“Provided peace of mind while we were away! Dogs were taken care of with love! Peter walked, fed and played with our dogs during visits! Communicated throughout visits and provided picture updates. Also appreciated brining in packages that were delivered! We will be using Peter again for our upcoming trip in July!”
About: I provide loving, reliable pet care. I handle every situation with calm handling, and personalized routines, ensuring pets feel safe, understood, and truly cared for. I work daily but can bring pets with me. I offer multiple walks, give meds, flexible updates, and full weekend availability for reliable, consistent care. In my home or yours, I follow each pet’s routine—feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and updates. I keep their space clean, safe, calm, and comforting at all times. I can create pets as well I have one already on hand
“Chelsea was very helpful and kind. We had one miscommunication on her first visit where she did not stay the entire length of the 30 minute visit and brought a guest to our home without informing us. However, after we clarified the miscommunication she was very professional and ensured the remainder of the service was completed successfully. We appreciated her help while we were gone for a trip and her willingness to ensure Milo got the best care in our absence!”
“Katie was fantastic! She was quick to respond in a short notice and my pup had a great time with her. She gave him lots of walks, cuddles, treats, and attention that an any puppy would want. Katie also sent me updates and pictures and I would definitely use her again.”

Carli was absolutely wonderful, and they were a lifesaver for being able to take care of our cat so last minute. Our cat, Kiba, was fed on time & given lots of love. The pictures were so sweet, and I truly enjoyed how responsive Carli was as well. 10/10 would recommend, and rebook with.
Camryn was absolutely awesome! She dropped in on my babies for 4 days while I took a mini birthday trip. Camryn checked in on my boys, sent pics and sent updates. She was very attentive to my boys and how they were feeling. She respected my babies and my house. I absolutely recommend using Camryn’s services! Thank you Camryn!
Patti, as always, does a fantastic job with my cats. Bart is not one to come out for "anyone" but myself and my husband, but she finally got him to come out and sit for a while. LIsa is always happy to see her. This was the longest time we have every been away from them and she did such an amazing job caring for them. Thank you and would highly recommend her.
Megan is reliable, detail-oriented, and will care for your pets as if they are her own! She has helped us multiple times and is always very communicative and awesome following our detailed instructions! Also she leaves adorable visit notes so you know exactly how your pets are doing :)
Nina did a great job watching our kitty, Sachi, over the holidays. Sachi is usually timid with cat sitters and won't make an appearance for several days, but Nina was good at seeking her out and earning her trust from the first day so that Sachi welcomed her each day. We feel so much better knowing that Sachi was getting some loving while we were gone. The litter box and area were clean and her food and water bowls were full when we got home. Thank you,Nina, we will definitely use you again in the future!
Callie was incredible with my cats! She’s a great communicator and willing to help with whatever I needed. It gave me peace of mind knowing Stevie and Louise were getting taken care of while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest City on Rover is $18.87 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 2,457 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest City. 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.
