“I had a great experience and will definitely rebook in the future! I hate leaving my babies when I travel but it gave me peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. She even brought my package in that was delivered while I was away which is very much appreciated. Thank you so much!☺️☺️”
“Davianna was wonderful. She came over for a meet and greet before the date I needed her to be watched over so she wouldn't be a stranger to my pet when the day came. During the entire time she took care of my pet, she sent multiple daily updates along with pictures so me and my wife could see how our pet was doing. It left us a peace of mind since this was the first time I needed someone to watch over my pet that wasn't my family. Davi will be considerate of how your pet has been accustomed at home and will work to make sure they're comfortable, especially when they're staying in a new environment. I highly recommend Davi if you need someone caring and considerate to watch your pet!”
“Gwen took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. She was responsive and the boys loved her. I’d definitely recommend Gwen, and would have her take care of my pets again.”
“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 :)”
About: Hi everyone! I am first and foremost an animal lover! On top of that, I know how to keep your baby active, happy, and healthy! I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand because I want you to rest easy knowing that your baby is in good hands! I had two weenie dogs growing up and they are my world. I've dog sat for friends and family and always have an amazing time! If you have any questions, please contact me! I work the typical 40 hour week so anything after 4:30 on weekdays and any time on weekends I'm here for you and happy to help! Currently I have two kitties that put the biggest smile on my face the second I wake up. Animals just trust me. Every time I visit a friend with a "they don't like people" animal, they still like me!
“Alex was so amazing with our kitties! She really went above an beyond and we felt so comfortable knowing that she was taking amazing care of them. She communicated very well and updated us frequently!”
About: I absolutely love dog sitting and spending time with dogs. I've taken care of older animals as well, my own is 11 and has medications. I have cat sat for cats over 15 that are skittish and hard to feed with strict medication regiments. If requested I can happily do small cleaning chores around the house without complaint. I have taken care of cats as well; specifically one that was in its 20s and had to be given medicine every 12 hours crushed & mixed in cat food. I'm currently a student and have class for a short period of time 4 days a week and I also work, as of right now only 3 days a week. But I can work around my schedule to make sure your dog is taken care of. If I am not able to, I promise you I will let you know! Please keep in mind my current work schedule as Rover doesn't allow me to arrange my calendar by day as I wish: Monday: 11:00AM - 10PM Tuesday: 11:00AM - 10PM Wednesday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Thursday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Friday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Saturday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Sunday: 11:00AM - 5:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 5:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) I do not offer at-home service. Although my dog is sweet, he is very skittish around other dogs and I would never want to harm someone else's animal. At your home, I always make sure to be in the same room as them for 1) to avoid them getting into any mischievous actions, and 2) to make sure the dog doesn't feel alone while their loved one is gone!
About: -walking pets -bathing pets -scooping litter -giving meds -playing with pets -senior pet care -special needs pet care -small pets care -trim nails -food accommodations I'm a college student and my life basically revolves around pets. I like to be organized with my schedule so that all the pets I care for get everything the need without fail, I can br flexible though if something needs to be adjusted. I have quite a few pets of my own and I love all pets just like I love my own! I'm willing to have small pets stay over at my house, I have experience with guinea pigs, gerbils, and hermit crabs. Pets such as dogs and cats I will come over to your house. I can walk them, stick to a feeding schedule, play with them, groom them, and give them all the attention they need!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Cane Corsos, and many others. My love for animals goes far beyond simply caring for them—they truly become family. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. If you choose me as your pet sitter, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will be treated with patience, compassion, and plenty of love every step of the way Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., which allows me plenty of time each day to provide attentive care before and after work. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love and attention they deserve. On the weekends, I’m completely off, giving me even more flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and spend quality time with them. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In my client’s home, I strive to keep your pet on their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed and with instructions), and plenty of affection. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while I’m there. To give you peace of mind, I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide patient, loving, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs.
“Incredibly helpful and quick to assist in a pinch. Adapted to my dogs’ usual schedules for a few visits while we were out of town. We’ll definitely reach back out (with more of a heads up next time)!”
“I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough. From the moment I entrusted my three cats to her care, I knew they were in excellent hands. One of my cats, Hope, has special medical needs and requires nebulizer treatments. She handled those treatments with confidence, patience, and ease, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It's not easy to find someone who is both capable and comfortable providing that level of care. Beyond meeting their physical needs, she genuinely spent quality time with all three of my cats. She played with them, gave them attention and affection, and treated them as if they were her own. It was clear from the photos and updates she sent that she truly cared about their well-being and happiness. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and professional. Every visit was communicated clearly, and I received thoughtful updates and pictures each time, which meant so much to me. As a pet parent, especially to a cat with medical needs, that level of communication is invaluable. What sets her apart is her empathy and genuine love for animals. She doesn't simply "check in" on pets, she cares for them. Knowing my cats were safe, loved, and receiving excellent care allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away without worry. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, dependable, and exceptional with animals, I would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Lauren was amazing! She was so considerate, on time to every visit, and great with communication. She was fantastic with my cat and I'll definitely be re-booking her in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest City
Patti is fantastic. She sends photos & detailed info on what’s going on with my girls back home. She is reliable and trustworthy and we are so so blessed to have found her upon moving to a new area. Truly a blessing that my cats get to see the SAME person each time we go away. We even moved here locally, further away from her, but she continued to see my cats..! You get the feeling with her that she truly loved my animals. I would recommend her without hesitation!
Ava did such a great job watching our kitty while we were on honeymoon for 2 weeks! She worked with my shy cat and gave him plenty of exercise and made him feel safe while we were away. She’s super flexible and helpful! Hope I can book her again for my next trip.
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!
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!
This was my first time using Rover and the first time leaving my two cats alone, so I’ll admit I was a bit nervous and anxious. Patricia was amazing, she kept me updated the entire time and sent photos, which really helped me feel at ease. She was very professional and patient. One of my cats is extremely shy, and on the last day he even let her pet him, which truly surprised my husband and me. I would definitely rebook with Patricia without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Forest City is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 729 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 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.
