“This was the second time Annie looked after our two cats. And, as before, she did a fantastic job. I may not have mentioned in my first review that we have an elderly cat that requires two small pills each morning. And she didn’t have any issues with that or with the other details associated with caring for them. They also both seemed content and that they had been well-loved when we returned home. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Katie was a pleasure to work with, this was the second time we’ve booked her for help over the holiday season with our kitties. I feel very comfy leaving my fur babies in her care & know they are being well loved on while I’m away.”
“Thank you so much Claudia for keeping a check on our “old man”. I appreciate you tidying everything up and leaving the key back. I’m sure Liam looked forward to you coming even though he kept to himself. If we ever need services again you are who we will call!! Thank you once again!!”
“Payton was great! She was communicative and followed all care instructions exactly as requested. Everything was handled smoothly, and I appreciated the thoughtful attention to my cats. Would book again!”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She kept me informed every day about my baby. And she was so sweet to my little blind kitty. She was able to do her meds daily and kept everything spotless. Will be booking again!!”
“Cassandra was amazing!! She took care of my cat for a couple of days and went above and beyond and made sure my cat was loved and taken care of. I couldn’t have done it without her!!! Def recommend Cassandra !!!”
“Mindy is very prompt, meticulous in her tasks and thorough. She was terrific with our two cats and seemed to warm up to her quickly. Definitely will use her in the future!”
“Thanks for everything, Caden! sorry for the late review and tip. Was as professional as could be, and it looks like my cat liked his lap. Everything was left as it was, and he did everything I asked as far as my Smokey and his medications. Will definitely hire again if needed :-)”
“Hannah was available at short notice, and did a great job with my two pups - caring for them as if they were her own. She is a warm, friendly, and responsible person. I will use her again!”
“Susan was fantastic to work with, both in her care for our cat and in her care for our home, daily communication with us and photos. She quickly recognized kitty’s needs, spent time with him, engaged him, and gave us such relief that he was in good hands while we were gone. We would count it a privilege to work with Susan again!”
“Ana took great care of our cat while we were away! She was always on time and made sure our cat’s feeding schedule was maintained. She played with him and made sure he was happy. Thank you Ana!!”
“Valerie was great watching my kitten for a couple days! Everything was taken care of in my apartment and had zero issues. She was very responsive and sent me some cute pics of her and my kitty seemed very happy when I got home. I definitely recommend!”
“Javi was such a thoughtful pet sitter. I received a long, well written note every day with photos of my cat. Javi followed all instructions to a T and went beyond expectations in helping keep litters off my floor. Incredible service, so happy I booked Javi.”
About: I've taken care of my own pets my whole life, and others' for 8 years now. I created Jackson Pet Care to provide pets with the comfort they need and deserve when their owners are away. I know personally how scary it can be leaving your pets alone- they’re family! It’s heartbreaking to see a pet missing their owner without any comfort, so I take the honor and responsibility of caring for someone's fur baby to heart. I have experience with cats and dogs, old and young, and would love to use my experience to create a loving environment for your pet. See Jackson Pet Care on Google for reviews from my awesome customers! I am a student (graduating soon!!), so I use the gaps in my schedule to make sure your pets are well loved on and taken care of. I look after an owner's home like it's my own. I’d want to return to a clean, cared-for house and make sure you do the same! I ensure the home environment I am in remains a safe space for the pet and keep them in their regular routine to build trust and comfort.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
Chloe was more than exceptional! We have two diabetic cats that need insulin shots twice a day and were very worried to leave them for our vacation. Chloe put us at ease after her first visit. Pics say a thousand words and seeing our two cats look so happy helped us enjoy our vacation so much more. Our first experience with Rover went better than expected and would trust Chloe again and again.....
Lauren was absolutely amazing! She cared for my three cats every day for two weeks while I was out of the country, and I truly felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She was incredibly attentive by feeding them, playing with them every day, and consistently sending me photos and updates so I always knew how they were doing. She also went above and beyond the basic visits. Since I was away for so long, she was thoughtful about things like the temperature inside the house, taking out the trash, and making sure the litter and home stayed clean and fresh. It also seemed like she often stayed beyond the scheduled 30 minutes just to give the cats extra attention, which I really appreciated. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire trip, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about my cats and their wellbeing. Having someone that reliable and attentive made being away from them for two weeks so much easier. I would absolutely hire Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!
Thank you so much Claudia for keeping a check on our “old man”. I appreciate you tidying everything up and leaving the key back. I’m sure Liam looked forward to you coming even though he kept to himself. If we ever need services again you are who we will call!! Thank you once again!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lake Forest on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,347 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
