Melissa did an amazing job watching our senior dog and cat who requires medicine. She provided frequent and detailed updates about our guys, and was thorough in meeting each of their specific needs. We greatly appreciated her professionalism and kindness, and plan to try to use her as often as we can!

I reached out to Quiana in the late evening on Su day night hoping to arrange care for my pup on Tuesday morning. Quiana responded promptly, and though I had a morning full of meetings, and I was scheduled to travel on Monday afternoon, Quiana suggested and made herself available for a meet and greet early Monday morning. Aksel loved her immediately, showed his ball off to her and even tried sharing it with her (unheard of with strangers). Aksel has separation anxiety and usually has a pretty hard time when I travel. After seeing Quiana for 2 mornings in a row (meet & greet included), Aksel woke up on fhe 3rd day anticipating her arrival. He pickup up his stuffy and stood at the door waiting. Needless to say, seeing that instantly made my heart smile. He has a long top knot and shook out his ponytail, she took time to find something to his hair back before leaving When it's wet outside, she attempts to at least dry his feet, even though he's more interested in playing tug of war with the towel. She's my favourite person of the month and is definitely going to be a part of Aksel's village moving forward.

About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys

About: Hello there, my name is Davey, and I’m an experienced pet caretaker with over 15 years of experience. I live alone and have access to a bark park and local parks, which allows me to provide a safe environment and ample amounts of open fields and stimulating environments for the doggie's. I prioritize the well-being of all furry friends — including cats— by following the habits you have already curated for them; such as meal plans and diets, using familiar commands to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to make sure you return home to a clean and happy home, with a loving caretaker by their side. Some of my furry friends tend to get attached to me quickly and even sit at the doors, waiting for me to return. Overall, I have a deep love for these little furry companions called pets. I’m a full-time remote student and a freelance photographer. I have more than enough flexibility to take care of your little one because I prepare everything on my schedule two weeks in advance. Pets will be completely safe in my hands as I am very attentive and aware, and we are most likely going to be in the same room the whole time. Should anything arise with your furry one I immediately communicate about it and let you know what the issue is and how we got there. of course every case is dependent on the personality of the furry one. I treat your pet as if they are my own if I wouldn’t drink faucet water I wouldn’t give your little one faucet water. We’re kind of bougie over here.

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: 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: 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.

About: Even with just one year of hands-on pet care experience, I stand out because my approach focuses on attentiveness, patience, and understanding each animal’s unique personality. I’ve worked with a variety of cats—shy, energetic, senior, and special-needs—and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly through calm interaction, consistent routines, and gentle handling. I’m currently in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, but outside of those hours, my schedule is very flexible. Since I am not working right now, I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and evenings. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and able to adjust to pet-care needs with plenty of open time. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my focus is on keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow all instructions closely and treat your space with respect.

About: I like to observe the different personalities and traits displayed in their daily activities. Observing their behaviors to what they like and don't like and spend time giving attention to them. I'm working part-time right now at the moment but my schedule is flexible and definitely will fit in my daily routine which is greatly appreciated. I make space for the pet roam around, have lots of food and treats, walk them frequently, give them rubs and hugs, watch TV with them, give their space when needed and make sure that the house stays clean and safe by putting certain items up out of reach ensures that they don't chew or swallow objects that can be harmful to them.

Thank you for taking such good care of Charlie and spending the extra time with him when you were able to. He was a happy boy when I got home today, only because you brightened his days while I was gone. Regarding the keys, I’ll get them back from you when you return. Just let me know your availability to meet somewhere. I was out of the country and had very spotty cell service so couldn’t respond to you. Also, I’m going out of town for a long weekend at the end of September. As soon as I confirm the dates, I’ll send a request to see if you can look in on Charlie on a Saturday and Sunday. Again, thank you for all you do and for being a 5-star sitter. 💕 I really appreciate you.

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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Forest Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest Heights on Rover is $22.47 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,479 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.
