“You know how you just know when someone is an authentic, caring cat person and Sofia is one of those extra special people that trust will treat your pet as well as she takes care of her own! I am a huge fan! She is now going to be the first person I check with if we need cat sitting. Our kitty usually gets very grumpy with us after we go on a trip ... but not this time! She did all the good stuff-- fed him, checked his litter, etc-- PLUS she played with him (which is not always a given with cat sitters), brought in packages, and turned lights on/off to make it seem like we were home. Thank you Sofia for making our time away from Otis much less stressful.”

“Julie was awesome with our kittens. We went out of town for 6 days and Julie proved to be a reliable and caring sitter. She stayed with our kittens for at least a half hour each day, playing and caring for them. She also went above and beyond to clean up after them (a few accidents happened) and even brought in our mail and packages. Highly recommend!”

About: I have done dog sitting for my sister's dog and multiple family members dogs. The tasks required were to walk them every day, feed them and give them water, and play with them. I am available every day, from mornings to nights. I prioritize pet care in my schedule. I enjoy making money, and I love being around animals. My living space is safe for all animals. I do not have toys for pets or bowls to feed them since I myself do not own any pets.

She sent me updates and photos and was great about communicating throughout my time away. She even made sure that my flight was not delayed before she left the kittens. When I got home, my apartment was very clean and my kittens were very happy and well-cared for! I would definitely have her take care of my kittens again!”

About: Hi! I’m 22 and a college athlete who plays basketball and softball in Boston. We’re currently on break until late January, and I’m looking to pet sit or help out in any way I can. I grew up with dogs and recently lost my own, so spending time with other pups really means a lot to me. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and cuddles. I’ve also walked dogs for a neighbor and would treat your dog like they’re my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. Since I’m currently on break from school until late January, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs I will gladly take care of your pets in your home, or even take them on hikes if need be! I am able to help overnight as well as needed.

About: With 14 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, cat, and lizard, I really understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, love, and consistency. What sets me apart is the empathy I bring from being a lifelong pet parent, not just a sitter. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my babies. I do not currently have a job, so I have lots of time to play with your pets! My schedule in the mornings is taking care of my own pets, and then errands and friends and such. In a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent. I respect your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and make sure they get the love, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away!

About: I absolutely love animals, which is why I’ve been taking care of family, friend, and neighborhood pets since I was 12 (my family has also always had cats!). I am reliable and have been trusted to consistently and properly tend to pets, whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight and in-house care, or anything in between. I have experience with elderly animals, as well as puppies and kittens. I am more than happy to provide updates about your pet during their care, and will always reach out with concerns or questions should they come up to ensure they’re being taken care of in the way that’s best for them. I truly care about animals, and enjoy spending time with them maybe just as much as they enjoy having a pal. I’m excited to get to know new pets and keep them taken care of, safe, entertained, and happy! I’m currently already doing pet care part-time, and am excited to make time for even more furry faces! I am able to take care of pets that need early morning check-ins, as well as pets that need a companion overnight. I always make sure animals have the water, food, and essentials they need, and do what I can to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am just as happy as them to be hanging out and will make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and are okay before bed if it is an overnight stay.

About: Being an animal lover, I have taken care of all of my own pets and those of friends and family. From guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, cats, and dogs. I have seen the absolute best with pets and will do anything that a pet parent wants for their pet. While I look for a full-time/part-time job, I am available any day of the week, Monday-Friday, 7 am- 6 pm, and Weekends, any time of the day. I am able to come over you house, to be able to care for your pet when it is required. I am unable to at my house since I am in the process of moving. I am comfortable being in your house to ensure your pet is in a familiar area.

This is the second time Lauren has taken care of my two cats, dropping in, feeding, providing their arthritis and insulin medications along with sitting and playing with them to break up the day. Lauren is so easy to work with, very accommodating with schedules, and sends lots of pictures to ease any worries about how they're doing while I'm gone. The cats are always in good spirits when I get home and I know she's takes good care of them. Thanks, Lauren!

Needed a cat sitter somewhat last minute for a foster cat I'm taking care of. Our foster is still very skiddish around new people but Samantha did a great job and always found her little hiding spots. She was also super accommodating when I asked to adjust the number of drop-ins for the last half of the booking.

This was my first time leaving my two recently-adopted cats home alone, and it was such a relief to know Jessica was checking in on them. She was so communicative and made sure to send pictures (even when my girls were being shy and hiding). I would absolutely recommend her services, and I would book with her again in a heartbeat the next time I need a sitter! Thank you, Jessica :)

Melanie was wonderful with our cat Mino, who is very shy with strangers. She gave him space when he needed it and kept us updated every day with detailed messages. By the end of the stay, they had become good friends, which is a big deal for him! We’d absolutely book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Forest Park on Rover is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,837 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forest Park. 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 .

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 , 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 .

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 , 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.
