“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…”
“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.”


About: I've had animals my entire life! Dogs and cats of all sizes and ages/abilities, bunnies, birds, and fish! I love working with all animals (even the "difficult" ones that often just need love the most)! I am happy to clean up messes or care for sick or injured animals, whatever you and your fur babies need to be happy and healthy =) I am currently working full time as a teacher, so I am available for pet care services starting at 4:30pm Monday-Friday. Weekends are totally flexible! I only pet sit at clients' houses because I have a small home with a dog and bird of my own. I am happy to provide care for your pet in whatever way you need, I will follow your directions precisely.
“Alejandra took such great care of my Ollie bear—she was patient with his quirks and considerate of how the heat would affect him, as well! She was super communicative & took lots of photos of him. Will definitely book again :)”


About: Hi! My name is Sheni and I have 8 years of experience taking care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs. I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of two precious dogs long term in Jersey before moving here to Florida. This experience has given me the chance to learn the personalities of two very different breeds with different personalities, routines and needs. It has also deeply grown my love for animals in general. I’m extremely caring, patient, understanding, and adaptable to the needs and quirks of every dog I’ve come in contact with. I am committed to treating your dog like my own family and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while away from their real family. I look forward to meeting your furry friend; please feel free to reach out with any questions! As I recently moved to Florida from Jersey, I have pretty open availability most days. I am willing to plan my daily tasks around your needs! I live in a one bedroom apartment with a balcony in Hallandale Beach. The apartment complex has tons of grounds for walking and a really awesome dog park.
“Allison took great care of my cat, Maevis. She checked on her daily and sent a picture of her. I felt good knowing she was having a visit and being checked on. I hope to have her for any sittings in the future.”

About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve always enjoyed their company and understand their unique personalities and needs. Although I don’t have a pet at the moment, I truly miss having one around, so I would be happy to take care of your cat with love, attention, and patience as if it were my own. I work from home, so I can spend most of the day with your cat, making sure they get attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. My home is calm, clean, and safe — perfect for a cat to feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for, just like at home.
“She's absolutely perfect!!! Thanks Habi for taking care of my babies. Estoy muy feliz de haber encontrado a la persona perfecta para cuidar de mi chihuahua y mi gatica ciega. Recomiendo a Habi 100% y espero que siempre podamos contar contigo en el futuro. Ya tienes una clienta fija.”
About: Hi, I’m Wesley! If you’re looking for calm, focused, one-on-one care for your dog — you’ve found the right sitter. I only host one dog at a time, which means your pup gets my full attention, a peaceful environment, and zero chaos from multiple pets. I work from home full-time, so your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether they love lounging nearby while I work, going for structured walks, or just being in a relaxed space, I tailor the day to their personality and routine. My home is best suited for: • Dogs who thrive in a quiet, low-stimulation • Pups who enjoy consistent structure and attentive care Because I only take one dog at a time, I’m able to maintain a predictable routine and keep things calm and stress-free. If your dog enjoys a peaceful home with lots of presence and individualized attention, we’ll likely be a great fit. **A Day in the Life of Your Pet with Me** When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family. My day revolves around ensuring they’re happy, comfortable, and loved. Here’s what a typical day looks like: **Morning:** We start the day with a refreshing walk or some outdoor playtime to help your pet burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air. Afterward, I prepare their breakfast exactly as you specify, paying close attention to any dietary needs, allergies, or medications. **Midday:** Throughout the day, your pet gets my undivided attention. Whether it’s cuddle time on the couch, engaging in their favorite games, or simply being by their side as they nap, I make sure they’re never lonely. If your pet enjoys enrichment activities, I’ll plan fun and stimulating games to keep their minds sharp. **Afternoon:** Another walk or potty break ensures they stay comfortable and active. If they have specific training needs or routines, I’m happy to incorporate those into the day. **Evening:** Dinner is served on schedule, just the way your pet prefers it. We wind down with quiet time, more snuggles, or a relaxed stroll before bedtime to ensure they feel secure and ready to sleep peacefully. I truly care for every pet as if they were my own. I pay attention to their body language, moods, and behaviors to ensure they’re always comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in providing a safe, loving environment where they feel cherished and at home. When your pet stays with me, I want to make sure their care feels as seamless and personalized as possible. To provide the best experience, I like to learn all the important details about their: - **Meals**: Their feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any preferences or specific preparation instructions. - **Medications**: If they take any, I’ll ensure they’re administered exactly as prescribed, with careful attention to timing and dosage. - **Allergies**: I need to know about any allergies—food-related or otherwise—so I can avoid triggers and keep your pet safe. The more I know about your pet’s unique needs, the better I can provide the love and care they deserve!

Kassadi was amazing with our puppy, Rio! We booked her last minute for a few days, and she was exceptionally communicative, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. She handled all of Rio’s puppy energy and routine with so much care and attention. We will definitely be booking her again!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Forest is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 7,027 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
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.
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.
