“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up. I love going on walks and letting them take their time. Sometimes it’s like they walk me haha. I even taught my childhood dogs how to shake paws and to sit! I’m available most days! I work online so my schedule is determined by me. I’m available to take care of someone’s special baby! I’m a very active person so taking dogs out isn’t a problem. I have a cat that I regularly play with. I clean her space daily and change her bowls out. As for dogs, I take my mother’s dog on a walk about three times a day when I visit her.

Nardie is a long hair part Maine Coone cat. He is about 15 years old and he is diabetic which means I give him insulin shots 2x a day. He is a sweet loving man who loves to cuddle and be by my side.

“We were so thrilled to have Carly watch out kittens while we were away. She was always prompt in replying to messages and gave us plenty of updates with pictures and videos while we were away. It was definitely a great relief knowing that someone as capable and caring as Carly was watching our kittens, and we'll be sure to use her again the next time we're out of town!”
“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”
About: Hi 👋 My name is Amber and I'm a big cat person! I've had a cat since college..20 years ago already! But I'm experienced with different types of cats. I had two but unfortunately recently had to put my tortie girl down due to cancer. I have a very sweet male tabby cat currently who is good with other cats as long as they are ok with him. I am happy to board your cat here and am open to a meet and greet first to make sure our cats will get along, or at least tolerate each other. I am open to administering medication if your cat is somewhat agreeable (we can discuss this further) as both of mine have needed medication for various reasons in the past. I have a second bedroom to put your cat in until ours get comfortable with each other. I'm happy to play and give your baby some TLC while you're away! I work mostly from home and usually only go into the office on Thursdays so I will be home majority of the time while boarding/watching your cat. I have a second bedroom that I can separate the cats if need be. Especially in the beginning when they are getting used to each other.
“It was so nice to know our Chili Pepper the cat was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Andrea! Your check in pictures were really nice and gave us peace of mind. First time using Rover and so happy we did.”
“Anastasiia was wonderful! Our cat was not feeling well right before my trip. Anastasia graciously agreed to take the cat to the vet, got the medication and administered it. She made sure our cat was as comfortable as possible.”
About: Hi there, my name is Nina and I'm very attentive and compassionate with your loved ones. Comfortable administering medication? Yes. Velcro pet? Ready to accept attention at a moments notice. Anxious rescue? I started my journey rehousing rescues even crocheting blankets for kittens without mothers. From pubs/kittens to seniors I am your sitter ready for any type of care you might need while you’re away! I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I still devote some time to volunteering at shelters and pet sitting for international sits from TrustedHousesitters. However, for the holidays I am always home and available to care for pets nearby! I do a balance of everything for my clients: Housesitting for multiple pets at a time, Drop-ins for food or walks, Administer medication, Personalized care for traumatized pets, Senior specific care, And many more! Let’s connect and discuss what you’re looking for!
About: I have been born and raised taking care of dogs and having them in my family. I was raised with a Border Collie mix named Misty. Then, for 15 years I had a Labradoodle named Ferbie. He was a precious soul and wonderful playmate. I love to entertain and keep active/playful with all the pups I have the blessing of watching. I attend to rules and respect all wishes. I work part time at the moment so I have flexibility throughout my days to take breaks. I also work remotely so I have the ability to travel around the suburbs. I follow all household procedures. I think safety is the biggest priority and it is crucial for pet sitting. The space and animal(s) must always be kept safe and prioritized first in every situation.
“We are so grateful that our new Rover friends could take Cami for 3 nights while we had insulation work. They were so friendly & easy to work with, from booking, meet & greet, drop off & pick up. We got plenty of pics & messages about Cami. 5 star treatment all the way!!!!!”
“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Forest Lake is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 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.

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.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 89% 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 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.
