“As always alexia goes above and beyond to make my cats feel comfortable! Especially my one cat that’s literally scared of everything. She manages to get him out of his shell, she’s definitely a permanent sitter for our cats!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve house sat and cared for dogs in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very active with my own dog and go to the dog park daily, so I’m confident handling playful, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I prioritize safety, consistency, and giving every pet the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give your pets lots of time and attention. I do have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm, but I’m available before and after, as well as all day on other days. I’m usually home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, including trips to the dog park for exercise and socialization. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex with a large dog park available for safe play and exercise. I take pets out for regular potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize their safety, whether that means supervising playtime, following feeding schedules, or crating if requested by the owner.
About: I love each animal as if they were my own. I have experience in taking care of cats and dogs of all ages. I have patience, compassion and a lot of love to give to animals. I am flexible with anything. I have experience in dog walking, house sitting for families with fur babies and having dogs stay at my home when their owners are away. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who live at home currently with me, a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel and a 4 year old Catahoula Australian shepherd mix.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities. I take them on walks and to the park and give them lots of cuddles! :D
About: I specialize in helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. When I enter a home, I don’t rush or overwhelm your pet. I stay calm, give them space, and let them approach me when they’re ready. This helps reduce anxiety and builds trust naturally. I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including shy, high-energy, and senior animals. I also have experience with medication administration and maintaining routines. You can expect: • Consistent updates and communication • A calm, respectful presence in your home • Care tailored to your pet’s personality My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, and you feel at peace while you’re away 🤍 I love to help busy pet parents with their loved ones!

About: I have extensive experience caring for the animals of family and friends. With a great deal of patience, I can help even the shyest animals feel comfortable and secure. Over time, I build strong, trusting relationships with the animals I care for, ensuring they feel loved and well-taken care of.

“Moving to a new place was tough on me and my fur babies. Dylan made sure to take care of all of us by keeping me informed while I had to be away, and taking care of my boys and place as if it were his own. I truly appreciate the top tier level of attention and care Dylan provides, and how intentional he is every step of the way with each visit. Thank you so much for making our transition easier, Dylan!”
“Miranda was amazing and will be booking her again. She visited my pet twice a day when I only asked for once and was a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures and I felt that my pet was well looked after with her. Thank you !”
About: I’ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember! I got my first cat when I was 7, and even though he was a little mean, I loved him dearly, and he was a big part of my life until he passed away when I was 17. I’ve had cats in my life ever since, and I’m very much a proud cat lady. I currently live in a household with five cats and two dogs, so there’s never a shortage of animal personalities around here. Living in a multi-pet household has given me plenty of experience with how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, boundaries, and routines. I understand that every cat has their own personality. Some are affectionate and want attention all day, while others prefer their own space or need more time to warm up to someone new. I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a lifelong cat lover (and proud cat lady!) who’s been around cats for as long as I can remember. I have two of my own—both rescues—and they mean the world to me. I’ve been through everything from bottle feeding and socializing a stray kitten to emergency vet visits and post-hospital care, including administering medication, syringe feeding, and round-the-clock monitoring. When my own cat was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis, I didn’t hesitate to do whatever it took to get him the care he needed. That experience only deepened my understanding of how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your cat. I treat every cat I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Cats aren’t just pets—they’re family. I get that, and I show up accordingly I provide drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or space, I respect their personality and routine. I’m experienced in feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, and administering medication if needed. I also keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in great hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 705 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Forreston. 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 .
