“Deena was great. She came on the right days and times and was so great to our cat Peter. She was very communicative and helpful. She listened to the directions perfectly.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and told me when she was leaving and had arrived each time. She also gave me details of every visit, as well as many pictures. She also was very tentative to my elderly cats needs, including giving him medicine daily. She was very respectful of my house, and asked many questions to make sure that my cat was comfortable and had the best experience while I was gone. It was very evident that she truly cared about his needs, which means a lot to me because he’s like my child. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future.”

She sent us updated pictures every day of our cat. Was very communicative. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her.”

About: Having spent several years helping my mom run a pet sitting business, I know firsthand that the first few days in a new environment or with a new person can be stressful for a dog. My main goal is to make that transition as smooth as possible. I use patience and scientifically proven techniques to make sure that every dog, no matter how shy or anxious, feels safe and comfortable with me. I am fully comfortable with administering any needed medication, whether it’s in pill, liquid, or inhaler form. No matter whether it’s a puppy or a senior, I have the experience to handle them all. If you have special requests or a detailed routine, I’m more than happy to follow them to the last detail to make your pet feel right at home! My schedule is completely open and flexible for anyone and everyone. Whether short notice or planned ahead, I am available to give your dog full care! Everything is done at your pet's pace with full respect for their boundaries. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable, giving you complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 5 years of pet care experience. I previously lived on a ranch where dogs were bred, so I spent a lot of time around dogs of all ages, especially puppies. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for my own dog who lived to the age of 16, giving me personal experience with the love, patience, and attention senior dogs need. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, puppy care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog like family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I am currently working from home so I have all the time in the world to care for your pet. I have two pets of my own who love their mom so they need attention constantly. My pets would receive their walks early in the morning to get the day going and good vibes flowing. My pets are on an eating schedule so of course I would follow any schedule your pet is on! Check ins are super super important so that would be another priority daily to ensure you’re comfortable. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and routines while making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and a clean environment. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I am attentive, responsible, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own.

About: Hello.My name pronouncedNe-Ka. I am a lifelong-animal lover. I've had dogs my entire life, and they have always been an important part of my life. I recently lost my 16-year-old Chihuahua, and while my heart is still healing, I realized how much joy being around animals brings me. That's what inspired me to join Rover. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. In fact, my love for animals runs so deep that I've been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your furry friends with the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own. I am very flexible to meet the needs of your pet and make them my top priority while in my care. I allow pets to have whatever you permit them to have-treats, cuddles in the couch we’re just playtime at the park. With plenty of pictures and videos for you.

Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, companionship while you're away, or extra love and attention, I'd be honored to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I prefer not to have any in home boarding at my home but in willing to come to yours. If you don’t see a calendar date just reach out to me. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs.

About: Hi! My name is Janet and I would absolutely be honored to help care your fur baby 🐾 all my life I have been around dogs, cats, and even other pets! I grew up with two gorgeous dogs, one small breed and one large breed so i definitely know how to care and handle multiple sized dogs. I also have and still occasionally volunteer at the animal shelter where in have encountered soo many different breeds, fur baby personalities, etc. I recently moved into the area and plan to get my own fur baby in the next year or so🐶🐱 so I find this as an amazing opportunity to help others care for theirs while I work towards getting my own! 😊 For pet boarding and day care; I make sure to deep clean my home with pet safe products between bookings to ensure a clean, safe space for your fur baby 🥰 Currently a student, so my schedule is open most times. I’m very active so not only do I have plenty of time, but energy as well! My classes are online and self paced so I can plan pet visits and walks around my day!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
kassadi was amazing! she spent 7 days with our cat. feed, changed her water and litter box everyday. she constantly kept us updated about her eating and bathroom habits. She sent us updated pictures every day of our cat. Was very communicative. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her.
Jess is such a sweet bubbly person and really does enjoy caring for your pets. She made sure all three of my cats were all cared for. She cleaned up after them sent me lots of photos. She even got my super shy cat to come out of his shell which means the world to me. I’m really looking forward to booking her again when I’m out of town. I highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!!
Sara took the time to always make everything as clean and tidy as I want my pet to have. He’s not very sociable (18yo Cat) so she had to go hunting for him and took a picture every day. That made me feel like he was OK, eating and using the litter box. Thank you, Sara! Until next time (I’ve used Sara’s services before) as I definitely recommend her for taking good care of your beloved pets.
Amazing experience as always. Andrea is so patient and kind with our cats. We always know they are safe and loved when we’re away. She provides the very best care during each drop-in visit and her service never feels rushed. Also very detail oriented. Happy repeat customer. ❤️
Jenni was great with my 4 kitties! Although 3 out of the 4 of them hid most of the time, she did a good job at making them feel comfortable with her presence. She followed all of my instructions and even went the extra mile to sweep up litter from the litterboxes. I'm so glad I found someone who knows what they're doing and really cares about it too! Will definitely book again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lake Forest is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $29 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. 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 November 2026, there are 865 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Forest. 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 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.

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.
