“Jenni is the best. There is no money in the world that can pay for having peace of mind your baby is in safe hands. I have been using Jenni’s services for 5 years and she doesn’t disappoint. My baby is not the friendliest but when Jenni watches her they are best friends. God bless you Jenni you are truly a blessing to all of us and our furry friends.”
“Thanks so much for taking care of the pups! I really appreciate all the walks, feedings, and everything you did to keep them happy. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. ladded a little extra to say thanks - you went above and beyond. We'd love to have you back again next time!”
“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.”
“I was so happy that Sara was able to take care of my elderly cats while I was away! Was worried about them, of course, but the minute I saw how she took care of my kitties I was incredibly impressed and knew I had chosen the right person. I trusted her with everything I asked, and she even had to clean up “surprises” from my boys. When I leave again I want to make sure that she is able (& willing) to do this again! Thank you for all you do…”

“We are so grateful to Brianna for looking after our cat, Churchill, during our time away between August 19 and 27. This was the second time we’ve used her services, and once again, we couldn’t be more satisfied. Knowing that Churchill was in such caring and reliable hands gave us complete peace of mind.”

“Ailen was so great with my cat, Milo. Milo had a medical emergency prior to our vacation and Ailen was good at keeping us updated with every visit, giving him his medications (3 different ones orally), and monitoring his progress. Ailen also had an emergency of her own as we were away and did not let it effect our agreement at all as she stuck to the schedule and kept us in the loop. We appreciate her greatly and will definitely be rebooking with her in the near future.”
About: Hi, I’m Destinee. I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant, and I'm completing school to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. After that, I'll eventually become a Veterinary Dentist! It's cliché, but I've no other way to describe how I feel, I simply have a huge love for all types of animals—even bugs. There's something in everything for me. Getting to earn extra funds while spending time with and caring for beings that make me so happy—even the grumpy ones—is something I'll hold onto for as long as I live. No matter where I am or what I have, I'll always have a friend to help. At this moment, I'm unemployed, so I have all the time in the world. I'll try my best to work with the clients' and their loved ones' schedules. I try to remember I'm a stranger to them, but I certainly don't act like it. I love them to the moon and back, and will treat them as if I raised them myself, because why not? It's the right thing to do.

We hired Ekaterina to care for our cats, and we were very pleased with the care she provided. She was reliable, attentive, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We definitely plan to use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Deena was fantastic and I’ll definitely be booking again! She took great care of my cat for 10 days and we didn’t have to worry about a thing the whole time. We got pictures and updates everyday! We came home to a very happy and healthy cat, thanks to Deena. 100% recommend!!
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.
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.
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 :)
This was my first time leaving my cat in someone else’s care, and Tyler made the experience completely stress-free. He provided consistent communication, was incredibly reliable, and I felt confident enough to extend my trip thanks to him. I would absolutely use his services again and recommend him without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lake Forest on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,100 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 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 Lake Forest. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
