“We had a wonderful experience with Rose taking care of our little old lady cat over the holidays. We had not left her alone for several years, but she seemed instantly at home and snuggly with Rose, who gave her tons of wonderful attention. Communication was excellent and we got lots of great updates and pics. Even though our kitty can be very finicky about taking her daily medication, she seemed to gobble down every single dose while Rose was here - she just responded super well in general to Rose's care. Not just that, but her coat has not been this clean and fluffy in a long time - two brushings a day is going to be a tough act to follow! :) We wholeheartedly recommend Rose and would absolutely love to have her look after our little floof again in the future!”
“She is very communicative, responsible, puntual, professional, and my kitties love her. She did a good job trying to medicate my cat. Definitely will be next time. PS: she took amazing pics of them! 😻”
“Jovian was great with our kitties! She quickly warmed up to both of them (especially the younger one who is a bit more shy). She was very communicative, had a lot of pictures, was proactive and I’d surely have Jovian over again to take care of our kitties. Thanks Jovian!”
“Louise has cats so she truly knows how to care for them properly. This is exactly what we needed when we went out of town and needed to leave our cat back home. Louise went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and healthy while we were away.”
“My cat never comes out for anyone but Kayla was so great with her she felt immediately comfortable. So thankful my sweet girl was in such good hands and had the best time with her. She even let Kayla give her her daily inhaler for managing her asthma. Talk about trust! Thanks for going out of your way to take such good care of my home and my kitty. Naya and I are grateful to you and sincerely hope you agree to visit us again soon!”
About: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly love being around animals—especially cats! I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around visits and give each pet plenty of unrushed, one-on-one attention. I really enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine, whether they’re social and ready for cuddles or a little shy and need some time to warm up. I’m available for morning, midday, and afternoon visits and will treat your cat and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I primarily care for pets in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable and can stay in their normal routines. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure every cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime or enrichment, and plenty of attention—whether that means cuddles or simply keeping them company from a comfortable distance. I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life, including dogs, birds, rabbits, fish, and of course cats. Most recently, I spent nearly 15 years caring for my own cat, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual personality, routines, and little quirks. I really enjoy getting to know animals on their own terms and making them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for shy, independent, social, or senior cats and can also help with brushing, medications when appropriate, bringing in mail, watering plants, and making sure everything is secure before I leave. I’ll always send photos and a thoughtful update after each visit so you know how your kitty is doing while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Catie did an amazing job taking care of my cat Kitty while I was out of town for a week. She was reliable, attentive, and very caring throughout the entire week. She followed instructions closely, never missed a scheduled visit, and always provided detailed updates and pictures. She also went above and beyond to ensure Kitty stayed in a comfortable environment. It was reassuring knowing Kitty was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Catie to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Katelyn was extremely caring and professional with drop in visits with our cat. Quick to respond and communicated check-ins thoroughly. Will reach out if we need a sitter again. Thank you!”
“I do not know if I can adequately describe how I feel about Kimberly. She is not "just a sitter on Rover" - Kimberly has become part of our extended family. As with many pet owners, it can be hard to hand over the care of pets to anyone, let alone someone you do not know. That was how I felt when I first reached out to Kimberly. We recently relocated to the greater Seattle area, and one of the hardest parts of the move was finding a new sitter who could live up to the one we had in Canada. I had heard of Rover and, with some deep investigating, found Kimberly. I reached out; she quickly responded, met us in person and answered all our questions. We set off on our trip and received daily updates and photos. I know the updates are a part of the protocol, but Kimberly does it wholeheartedly. Coming home, our fur kids were happy and content, which was a great welcome. That was almost a year ago, and our relationship keeps getting better. We now plan our getaways around Kimberly's schedule as best as we can! Thank you, Kimberly, for the love you show our family and for being a part of ours - we are the lucky ones! Michaella”
About: For years, I have taken in strays to care for and helped out friends with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have worked closely with a dog trainer(specifically service dog handling) and love to include tips and tricks with dogs and owners who would want some guidance. I love dogs and include my own Mercury in as many adventures as I can. With a best friend in VetMed, I am no stranger to veterinary care and always have assistance a call away if needed. Mercury is very friendly and experienced with having other dogs over, he sometimes helps me with friends who want some dog training help also. Mercury and I would love to care for your best friend in whatever way we can! Pet care is a daily activity in our home, enrichment too. I am a helicopter parent and would be with any pet in my care. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to offer, and will of course let you know if it’s not possible. I live in an apartment, but live very close to a large fenced field that I take my dog to often to run around, and I will take yours if you're comfortable (I have long leashes for those who may not have great recall). If your pet is crate trained, we have more than enough space to keep a crate in the home. I walk my dog around our complex a few times a day, and also on long walks in the neighborhood. The same or more can be offered to your pet depending on its needs.
“Kali was wonderful with our cat Gus! She came by reliably each day, took lots of adorable photos to share with us (something we appreciate so much when we’re away!) and was very respectful of our requests and our home. Gus was thrilled to have someone to play with, and Kali took great care of him!”
“Fernanda came in clutch and saved us at the last minute! She was super communicative and available when we had a snafu with another caregiver. The cats seemed comfortable with her right away, and her updates and care were fantastic. She took care of other small house things without being asked. Highly recommend!”
“For the second round, Emmeline was a great caregiver to Aiko! She’s so engaging with her. Aiko requires a lot of mental stimulation which is my reasoning behind hiring a sitter for every trip. I’ve noticed Aiko is more settled once I’m home from traveling after Emmeline has cared for her. Thank you again!”
About: 25+ years caring for dogs of every breed and size, plus extensive experience with cats. I’ve helped deliver litters, given medications, and maintained spotless litter boxes. Cats trust me deeply — they often bring their kittens to my bed. I always take time to learn your pet’s routine, needs, and personality beforehand. I walk my own dogs three times daily and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, loving care tailored to each animal. My schedule is very flexible for pet sitting. I drop my daughter off at school by 8:30–9:00 AM and pick her up at 3:25 PM. The rest of the day I work online only 2–3 hours, so I’m happily available for morning, midday, and afternoon dog walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I walk my own dogs three times a day, which keeps me active and ensures I’m always ready to give your pets the regular outdoor time they need.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
Sarah looked after my cat for two weeks during my vacation in October 2026. I've been highly pleased with her care of my furry son and my house and how consistent and effective her communication was!!! I'll be leaving my cat in her hands with great peace of mind during subsequent trips
Ren did a wonderful job watching my senior kitty while I was away. Care included a transdermal medication which she applied confidently. I appreciated the daily check-in and had total peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. And in the future I will absolutely hire Ren again and exuberantly recommend her services! 🐈⬛🐈
Lu was amazing with our cat, Peeve! She was super responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and took such great care of her while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Peeve was in such good hands. We would absolutely book Lu again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Nora is the best of the best! My husband and I went on a long trip, worried about the impact on our young cats, being away for nearly three weeks. Nora gave them lots of affection, playtime, and honored their individual personalities. Reports and photos eased my mind. The cats were relaxed and content when we returned. I could not have asked for more. Household needs were taken care of well. We are grateful to Nora for their skill and kindness.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lake Forest Park is $30 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per visit.

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 .

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.
