“We hired Rose to take care of our old kitty for 3 days with one hour drop-in visits. We were super pleased! She was timely, personable, listened to all our instructions and requests for “Princess” and she followed through on each and every one of them. Took care of our fish too:)! Most important to us was the lap time in the recliner our old girl needs. The pictures show she got it! We felt lucky to get Rose and will definitely hire her again.”
“Talia took very good care of our new kittens over the weekend. I received several photos during each drop-in visit. The care that Talia took with the narrative for each visit was much appreciated! My husband and I will definitely book with Talia again.”
“Michael was most helpful in facilitating my trip abroad over Memorial Day weekend. He was incredibly communicative and a friendly person, too. He dropped in to check on my cats and made sure that the house was well in order for when I returned. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience working with multiple dog and cat breeds, adapting easily to different energy levels, sizes, and personalities. My background spans a wide range of essential care, from dog walking and thorough check ins to bathing and administering medications. Friends and family have relied on me previously to manage care for their pets during extended vacations and trips. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I have plenty of time to take care and play with your preps, ensuring they get the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my top priority is maintaining their sense of security, safety, and comfort in their own environment. I know pets thrive on routine, so I would ensure they are as comfortable as possible with a new sitter by following their schedules for feeding and exercise. I focus on giving them undivided attention and play! Sending photo updates and messages so the owners have peace of mind while they are away is also important to me.
“This is our second time using David and he did a great job watching after our 2 cats for a week over the holidays. We would definitely recommend him and use him again.”
“Teagan has been wonderful taking care of our dog Daisy! We have used his services for regular drop in visits and he has always been prompt and accommodating to Daisy’s needs. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“AJ took great care of my cat and made sure my cat was OK when there was a fire alarm that went off in my apartment complex. He was great communicator and made me feel at ease checking in on my fur baby”
About: Mom at heart here - to humans and fur babies. I offer the kind of love that all living creatures deserve, especially ones that don't communicate with words. Being a mom to a special needs child has given me the patience and Spidey senses to anticipate needs, and pick up on cues from our non-verbal friends. I promise to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog or cat friend - whether that be in my home or any place when in my care. I don't have any pets of my own. But I have big house that I enjoy filling with the sounds and bountiful energy of someone else's lovely pets. I've had cats most of my adult life, and grew up always having a dog. My last dog was an energetic and clumsy Dalmatian named Kramer (yep, like in Seinfeld). He always knew how to make an entrance :) I work full-time from home (M-F). So flexibility is the name of the game. I have online work meetings and calls, here and there. But your pet will have a full view of me when I care for them in my home. My desk is set up in an large, open concept space, with lots of hardwood floors and a cushy couch for them to watch me work. I even keep toys near my desk for that impromptu 'catch' or 'fetch' session. And in between meetings, I will give them play time, potty breaks and walks. My back yard is large, but not fenced. If your dog prefers to run carefree and has difficulty with recall, I promise to keep them on a leash when exploring the surrounding flora and fauna of my yard. For neighborhood walks, we offer lotsa bushes to smell and grass to chew on. And for additional exercise, there are nearby dog parks to make new friends and burn off some energy. I work from home and my schedule is flexible to take breaks from my keyboard for play time, potty breaks and mostly to keep your pup company. While my backyard is not fenced, I maintain my doors locked at all times and will always ensure your dog is on a leash before we leave the house.
“Stephanie was an amazing cat sitter for our two babies. She was consistently on time, and communicated with us the whole time we were gone. She is the Mary Poppins for cats. She loved our cats like they were her own, and spoiled them every day. We definitely recommend her.”
“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! 🐈⬛🐈”
“Venessa has been walking MoMo for the past 3 months! She is the best and give MoMo such a great care! MoMo loves her! And she is so flexible and genuinely nice! We love her!”
“I'm so happy with how my dogs were care for . Sara clearly is passionate about dogs, and it shows in the way she cared for them. I especially appreciated how communicative she was throughout the day, sending me updates and pictures of my pups having fun. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter! Thank you again”
“I’m so glad Shelly was available to watch my cat. She did such a great job interacting and making him comfy and happy. I came back to a very content cat and so many amazing pictures during the check ins. Will definitely ask her to return for future trips.”
“Tori really helped put our mind at ease by caring for our cat (including administering her medication) during our recent vacation. Tori provided clear communication and pictures every day so we could see our pet was well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m that person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass, no matter where I am. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, long neighborhood walks, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. You can count on me for updates, snuggles, and lots of tail wags! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to drop by for walks, playtime, or whatever your pup needs! As a drop-in pet walker, your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and always follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, or playtime, I show up on time and give your pet the same care and attention I give my own. You can trust me to keep you updated with check-ins and photos so you always know your furry friend is in good hands.
About: What Sets Me Apart I provide more than just pet sitting—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I also trained my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I treat every pet in my care like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently in school. And would love to take care of your pets in the afternoons. I can check in on them and give them afternoon walks, treats and pee breaks, whatever you and your pet may need! How I Care for Pets in Your Home I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
I cannot recommend Catelyn highly enough. She is professional in every sense of the word, dependable when you need someone you can depend on, and trustworthy in a way that truly earns your trust. She communicates exceptionally well and consistently shows patience, compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail. Most importantly, Catelyn genuinely cares about the animals she works with. My dog absolutely loves her and is always excited to see her, which speaks for itself. The connection she builds with animals is positive, natural, and clearly based on trust. If you are looking for someone who is caring because she truly cares and dedicated because she is genuinely committed to what she does, Catelyn is an outstanding choice.
Stephanie was great!!! She took such great care of our pup and really knows her stuff across the board when it comes to cats and dogs. Super trustworthy, responsive and reliable. Everything you look for in someone looking after your fur baby. Thank you Stephanie!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Forest Park is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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.

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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Forest Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
