“Elizabeth took great care of my cats. She fed and cleaned litter boxes daily. According to the cats, she gave out treats and pets as they demanded. I definitely recommend her for cat sitting!”
About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.
“Autumn is absolutely amazing!!! She provided exceptional care to our dogs, cat, and hens. She really went the extra mile to make us feel at ease that our fur babies were well taken care of with detailed updates and pictures after every visit. I highly recommend Autumn and will definitely be re-booking with Autumn next time we leave.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and understand their need for exercise, attention, and consistency. I enjoy making sure every dog feels happy and safe. Pet sitting fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care. I’m a student and work full time so I am usually available evenings, weekends. I follow thr guidelines set out by the family and would never hesitate to reach out to the family if I had questions. My goal is to do things almost exactly like the owners would if they were home so the pets are at peace!
About: I've cared for animals of varying breeds, shapes, and sizes since I was a young girl. As an aspiring veterinarian, I've made staying informed and attentive to animal's needs my top priority. In my time taking care of other's pets, I've conduced overnight stays, routine check-ins, walking & enrichment activities, mild grooming, as well as medication administration. I keep detailed logs of the eating, drinking, and energy levels of the pets I watch and communicate regularly with the owners. This way, I can ensure that your loved ones are receiving the attention they need to thrive in your time apart. I have a pure, genuine love for animals, and I look forward to meeting your pet! I currently work as a Veterinary Nurse at a clinic with 3 days off a week. With proper notice, I am comfortable rearranging my schedule to meet the needs of your pet. I have open availability on Wednesdays and weekends as well. I make sure to thoroughly read and notate any instructions left by the owners. I understand that allowing someone into your home is a huge act of trust, and I make it a point to remain considerate, respectful, and tidy as I operate around the house. I understand that being around new company can be stressful for some animals, so I make sure to slowly build a bond that allows your pet to trust me.
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”
About: My first job was being a pet sitter in high school and I did that for about two years. Once I joined the work force, I was really focused on my career and still loved caring for animals, but didn't really have the time to do so. Now I am in a position to be able to help other working pet parents whether they need to go on a work trip or just want a vacation for themselves. I'm very good at following instructions and would love to be able to give the piece of mind that their furry family is well taken care of! I am currently a full-time worker so Monday-Friday I would not be able to be at a house all day. However, all weekends and holidays I am available all day. During the week, I am able to give my full attention after 4 p.m. Any house rules I will strictly follow and will ensure that you're fur babies are able to stay on their schedule and will receive everything they need (of course to include pet rubs and cuddles).
About: I am patient with all animals and worked as a kennel tech for six months and have my own dog who I love very much. I work full time but have availability on weekends to watch pets and drop in and go on walks or just hangout with them too. I would pet them and make sure that they had enough food and water. I would also play with them if the owner wanted me to.
About: We are Karina and Letícia, two friends who share a deep passion for animals and have turned it into a mission to provide the best care for your pets. Together, we offer personalized Dog Walking, Pet Sitting, Boarding, and Daycare services, ensuring your furry friends receive all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Our large backyard is fully fenced, providing a safe and secure space exclusively for dogs. Here, they can enjoy nature, run, play freely, burn off energy, and socialize with other dogs in a supervised and stress-free environment. We also welcome cats and can keep them separated if needed, as we have a dedicated room equipped with scratching posts where they can bask in the sunlight. While cats are free to explore the entire house, they also have access to a special playground designed to keep them entertained and happy. This setup ensures the safety and comfort of both dogs and cats, offering them a loving, cage-free environment with constant care and attention. Karina works from home as a groomer and occasionally needs to go out for dog walks. Leticia also has a flexible work schedule and is home most of the time. In the rare case that we both need to be away at the same time, it will be for a maximum of 3 to 4 hours. The dogs staying with us, have free access to the entire house but also have a designated space where they can play peacefully. With appropriate toys available at all times, they can have fun while feeling at home. Additionally, we have a fenced yard where they can run, play, and burn off energy, making new friends and enjoying a safe and welcoming environment.
“Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!”
“Thanks so much Yerlis. Very professional. Dogs took to her immediately. Timely and accommodating. First time on the app and a great impression so far. Will see you soon.”
“Melissa watched our two cats, Lily and Brie, on short notice. She did a phenomenal job! Our cats are usually shy around sitters, but they warmed up to Melissa right away. She sent photos of our babies, which put a smile on our face and let us know they were in good hands. Would highly recommend Melissa!”

“Shekyira was an amazing caretaker for my cat. She fed her on schedule each day and sent photos to negate any anxiety or worries. She is very personable and has a calm spirit which both I and my cat appreciates and welcomes. She will always be my first choice. Much gratitude Shekyira.”
“Suany was prompt, responsive, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. You can tell she wants to take great care of your dog (and she did!). Also sent the best pictures. Can't recommend her enough. She'll be my go-to from now on!”

Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!
Cassandra is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She is proactive, detail oriented, and reliable. We were gone for a week and have two very spoiled cats. I left a long list of things I wanted her to do for us, including giving one of our cats his inhaler every day, and mixing in supplements into food, along with lots of preferences to keep their routine as normal as possible. Cassandra not only followed everything we requested, but went above and beyond. She gave us detailed reports about how the cats were doing and photos every day for us. We do not leave our cats alone often and I was so happy to have someone that I knew was exceedingly capable of caring for them. We had a few issues with another sitter that was also booked for another time of day while we were away on the same trip, and I think I would've lost my mind if Cassandra wasn't around. She gave me peace of mind that she was handling any potential problems, even if she wasn't the one that caused them. Thank you again for all of your efforts and keeping Spooky and Jinx happy and healthy while we were away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest Heights on Rover is $22.47 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 7,449 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest Heights. 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 Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
