“Very trustworthy and nice person. My golden Kali warmed up to Monica instantly. I will definitely be using her in the future. I was able to focus on my road trip and not have to worry about my pet. Monica was great”
About: We have a grumble of two pugs, two kids (8 and 9) I work from home so I have the time to take them out all day. We have had our pugs since they were babies, except for our late rescue who became paralyzed and needed our help with both urinary and fecal expression, as well as medications administered. We are experienced with puppies to older special needs dogs. We do not, at the time, feel comfortable with having aggressive breed of dogs in our home with our grumble of pugs or our children. We have a ranch home with no carpet, it is a very pet friendly home with a fenced yard as well. We are happy to help you with your fur babies too!~ I’m always home other than quick trips out to run the kids to sports or errands as I work at home so able to take them out very frequently Our yard is fenced, scenic view on a large pond, and extremely dog and kid friendly Our dogs and kids love to keep younger dogs busy and senior dogs cozy. They will feel right at home during their stay with us!
“Lily was very attentive to my cats and tuned to their needs ( meaning they got xtra treats! When they wanted :-). And they liked her and bonded right away with her, that says a lot. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Lily”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid! Whether it’s dog sitting for a neighbor, family friend, or family member. I love being around animals and enjoy the company! I also volunteer at the Austin animal humane society when I have free time :) I currently work 730-4 every day, Monday-Friday. I work in the office 2-3 days out of the week! I am flexible to your schedule though :) I currently live in a bedroom apartment with a dog park in the complex as well as plenty of trails around to walk them and make sure they get their exercise :) I also have a 1 year old husky/white Pyrenees dog who loves to make new friends and play!
About: I have grown up with a family of many people and even more dogs. I have dog sat for my family and friends for the last decade. I have given daily medicine and injections to miniature pinschers, German shepherds, and Boston terriers. I have walked large dogs and small. I love sharing a bed and chair with all breeds. I love running and jogging and entertaining dogs. I am available 24 hours on the weekends. During the week I work virtually. I love having the company of dogs and cats. Walks are so much more fun with all four-legged friends! I am available after 5 pm during the week and any time on the weekends. I would love to meet your pup or kitten ahead of my first walk or drop-in visit. I will make sure that your animals are comfortable with me before approaching them in your home. I will make sure to remove my shoes and to dry your pup's feet (if you would like) before returning inside after a walk.
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and I took a job as a kennel attendant at a rescue, but unfortunately they closed their brick and mortar location to go back to a foster based rescue. I have gained experience working with many types of dogs. From large and small breeds, to selective dogs, to puppies, and my personal favorite, special needs and senior babies. I currently lost my job at a dog rescue due to the building closing down to focus on a foster based rescue, so my availability at this moment is open I can provide love, exercise and enrichment as well as discipline, crating, and spoiling your dog. Unfortunately I cannot have dogs in my home so I would need to come to you.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for 6 years and have experience caring for dogs through all kinds of situations — from energetic puppy stages to recovery days that require extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, relaxing together, or giving extra attention when they need comfort and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication instructions if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and providing updates so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

“Timothy is very prompt, patient, and thorough with his drop in visits. Showed up on time and made sure to hit all his items on the punch list I gave him. My dog can be very excitable and he was very patient with her. I was very worried about leaving my babygirl with a stranger and he put all my worries at ease. I will definitely be using Timothy in the future.”

About: I have had a dog within my household for as long as I can remember! Starting from before I can walk (seriously) up until now! Taking care of dogs is 2nd nature to me since I’ve done it for so long! As of right now I’m available everyday until further notice! I work in construction so summers get busier than winters, and right now it’s been raining everyday so it gives me a lot of free time! I have a fenced in backyard for when my three dogs are outside. When they are inside I have beds for each of them to sleep in when it’s time for bed. They also have crates that I use for them only when I am leaving the house for a while in order for any accidents or unnecessary destruction of furniture.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.

I provide loving, reliable care with plenty of updates, photos, playtime, and cuddles—so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands!

Starting in August, I’ll be attending school two days a week, but I’ll still have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I do not offer overnight house sitting, but I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I care for every pet with love, patience, and respect, treating them as if they were my own. I’m honest, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My pet was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great, and I received helpful updates that gave me peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they look after. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely book again! 🐾❤️
Monica is fantastic! She was available last minute and able to come extra sessions when we found out we weren't able to get back in time from out of town. She leaves the place in great shape and sends pictures at every visit. We are so blessed to have found her!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cedar Lake is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 1,200 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cedar Lake. 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 .
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.

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.
