“Ava did such an amazing job caring for my furbabies. I’d highly recommend!! I had no worry while away. She gave my pups so much love and did fantastic with them.”
“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!”
“Davi is always our go too sitter. Her rover cards are always the best! She is so thorough in taking care of our Sadie. She has shown time and time again why she is a 5 star sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Isabella. She took excellent care of our dog and was very attentive to all of her needs. I really appreciated receiving updates and photos after every visit—it was always so nice to know how Savannah spent her day. Isabella is reliable, caring, and truly professional. She gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we will definitely book with her again!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid and have years of experience with both dog walking and pet sitting. Looking after family, friends', and neighbors' pets has taught me how to care for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog like they're my own and always strive to give them the love and attention they deserve. I just graduated Highschool and am currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of free time to walk and care for your dog. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routines, and behaviors to make sure they receive the right care while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I always provide reliable communication, updates, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to give every pet a positive experience while keeping them happy, healthy, and safe.
“Zachary was awesome! Super organized, asked all the right questions and got to know that cats and house. He genuinely cared for Bean and Tembo, showed them lots of love and played with them! I will definitely be recommending him to family and friends, and using his services the next time I'm out of town. 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.
“Thank you Christina for coming by to take care of our 5 girls. We loved the photos too. We appreciate you taking the extra time to ensure Jovi ate her dinner. We would definately have you care for them again.”
“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!”
“Phoebe was fantastic. Even stayed with Mad Eye after the walk because she was afraid as a storm passed. Phoebe definitely went above and beyond! Definitely recommend.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest City
Patti did an excellent job taking care of our elderly cat Sachi while we were away for a week. She made sure to make contact with her during each visit and even though Sachi is shy, she made friends with her before the end of the week. She arrived around the same time each day which provided consistency for our kitty. The litter box was nice and neat when we returned, which is great to come home to. Thank you so much for taking good care of our girl!
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!
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest City. On Rover:

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.
