“Kati was amazing! We have never left our dog before and she made us feel so comfortable doing so. We would definitely use her again in the future! Thank you Kati!!”
“Katerina did a great job stopping in to see our DJ every day while we were out of town and providing pictures and videos that were greatly appreciated. Her flexibility was also fantastic as we decided to extend our time away by about another week. During the whole time, Katerina took care of our cat and our house and we greatly appreciated that she could help us out. We will definitely use Katerina again!!”
“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”
“Karina was everything I was looking for. My dog has a lot of special needs due to high anxiety and a rough background. Karina was so accommodating to all her little quirks with giving her space, giving her her medication, and cleaning up her pee pads. Her communication was excellent, and she even washed the forks and cutting board that were used for the medication. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. She was great, and I'd certainly use her again.”
“This is my first time using the app and Nataliia was fantastic! She arrived on time and followed all of our care instructions. She sent tons of pics that showed how delighted our pups were during her visit. Will definitely book her again if she’s available. 🙂”
“Christina did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Ginger while we were out of town for a week. We especially appreciated her detailed and humorous updates each day. Highly recommended!”
“Doug was great with Rose and sensitive to her needs especially during the rain storms over the weekend. Rose is scared of the rain and he took extra care with her. He communicated well with us on each visit. Highly recommend Doug.”
“Great experience with Dorothy. Kept my 2 dogs and 3 cats well loved and cared for while I was away. She provided helpful updates and pictures. Would seek out her services again in the future.”
“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 have taken care of animals for over 25 years. I work as a pet sitter with another company and have many repeat clients. For many years I also took care of my neighbor’s dogs when they traveled and had my own dog for 7 years. I currently have 2 cats. I have volunteered with Save-a-Pet, a no-kill animal shelter in Lake County. I’m currently a pet sitter part time, so have lots of time to take care of your pets! My schedule varies from week to week but I am pretty flexible when it comes to drop-in times and visits. I am not able to support boarding at this time but do offer overnight visits. I can offer drop-in and overnight visits for your pet! Please select which option works best for you. I currently have 2 cats and cannot board any pets at this time.
“Neda was AMAZING! Charley was well cared for, happy, and we truly appreciated the updates and extra attention. It’s a great feeling to find someone you can trust. We especially appreciated her patience and understanding when dealing with the challenges of getting into our home. We highly recommend this amazing dog sitter and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Aury has been so attentive and caring for my cats this past year. I am relocating for work and truly wish I could move her with me! I never had to worry when I left town because she always took such good care of my cats and sent me tons of photos and videos. 100/10 recommend, Aury is the best!”
“Haven did drop in visits for us when we left for the hospital to have a baby. Penny was well cared for and happy as a clam when we returned, and Haven was super flexible with us as babies tend to come on their own timelines! Thanks so much Haven for your help!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Forest Lake on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Lake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
