“Sydney looked after my 2 cats while I was on a camping trip. She took excellent care of my pets, was on time and thorough with the care instructions. Sydney has a warm personality, is very professional and communicates well.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Heather while we were away on vacation. She took excellent care of our dog and gave us peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable and caring hands. We especially appreciated the thoughtful photo updates she sent, which made us smile and helped us feel connected while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dog's happiness and well-being during each visit. We would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Ashley was fantastic! I didn't feel any fear or anxiety with her taking care of Apollo. I loved the photos I got and the little report card he got each day. Thank you again and I hope to use you again in the future.”
“Monica is a very professional pet sitter!!! We hired her to look after my two cats while on vacation recently and everything was perfect when we returned home. The cats were well taken care of !!! I would recommend Monica as a friendly pet sitter 🙂”
About: My name is Hannah, and I've been taking care of pets since a very young age. I love going on walks, no matter what the weather is, I will walk in any kind of weather just as long as the dog will walk. I like to take my time and build the pet's trust, even when they are shy at first. I always make sure I understand the information that is given to me. I love it when a pup gets used to seeing me, remembers my car, and gets so excited to see me. I did move from IL to Indiana, and i do have about 4 acres to run around to get some energy out. I use to work at a doggy day care. I stay at home taking care of any animal that i have for a petting sitting when i do not have a pet sitting I try to look for walks to meet new pets I have a fenced-in yard and also have about 4 acres of land. I take the pups out to use the bathroom and run them around to tire them out
About: Apart from obviously loving animals, I also have a lot of experience with them. I have 2 dogs myself that I take care of and love deeply. I worked at a doggy day care for 2 years before moving on to working at a vet for a year until recently. I am very comfortable with all breeds/sizes of dogs, as well as cats and other animals. I look forward to meeting your animals and forming a bond in a safe and fun environment! I currently work at an elementary school so my availability is anytime after 3/3:30 during the week, and weekends im free more in the day! I have 2 large high energy dogs myself so I am well accustomed to taking care of animals as such! Im also very good with cats.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have house sat for at least three different people and took care of their pets! I’ve worked with senior dogs and puppies. I also have a part time job at a pet store so I have a decent amount of knowledge on pets and am more than happy to get things from the store for you! I have also administered medicine to a dog with health issues so I am comfortable administering medicine. I work part-time at a pet store! But I have time in between these things to drop in on pets and walk them, play with them, and even feed them. I’m happy to do whatever needs to be done’ My cat is older so she doesn’t play much anymore, but I’ve played with lots of kitties before. I’ve also played with dogs, big and small. My old home had a fenced in yard that I used to play with the dogs in. I no longer have that, but I love taking my own dog on long walks to burn off some of that energy!
About: Hi! I have cared for dogs technically my whole life since I grew up with them. When I went to college I got a dog of my own and have had another since then. I love going on walks and playing with dogs. I am a part time nanny, but go on a walk every morning, afternoon, and evening. On top of that I do potty breaks first thing in the morning and before bed. I have a puppy proofed home since I have a pup of my own. I don’t have a fence but know how to get a dog’s energy out by playing however their style is and am good assessing what a dog needs.
“Alexa was a perfect sitter for us! She is professional, nice, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. And most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! We will be using her services again.”
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!
“Mackenzie is amazing! She is so kind and gentle with my girl and Mia absolutely loves her. She goes above and beyond to make sure Mia is comfortable and enjoying every visit. She plays ball, she takes her for a walks, and make sure that Mia is getting the attention she deserves when I can’t be at home. I trust Mackenzie with a piece of my heart and have absolutely no regrets.”
About: I have over 10 plus experience of taking care of my cat, family cat and family dog (yellow beagle). I love to play, spend quality time, and do whatever they love to do best (walks, cuddles, and play!). I currently work full-time but I would love to spend time with your furry friend anytime after 5pm-8pm. I love going on afternoon walks and enjoying the outdoors. Open line of communication is important to ensure safe entry/exit of home. I am open to sending pictures of your furry friend and confirming that they are safe in home when I exit.
“April was amazing! I have two German shepherds who are not used to strangers taking them out or being in their home. April was patient and very kind with my babies. Cleaned up any accidents they had in the house and even spent some extra time taking them back out for extra potty breaks. Great communication with me as well! Definitely would hire April again.”
“I just can’t say enough how great Crystal was at taking care of our senior German Shepherd. Ilsa LOVED her even on first meeting. Crystal was so wonderful about sending pictures, and giving us detailed reports of each visit. She was diligent about giving her medications on time, and she spent a lot of time giving her love. We felt so comfortable being away knowing Crystal was taking such good care of our baby. When we came home, Ilsa was calm and not nearly as starved for attention as she usually is when we’ve been away. We will definitely use her again and highly recommended!”
About: I absolutely love animals so much! My day revolves around caring for my pets and my children. All my life I have always had pets to love and care for. One day I dream to have a non profit animal rescue. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Dogs have always been in my life since I was a child. Now my two boys love to help care for our animals just as I did! Going on walks are one of our favorite things to do with our dogs. And long cuddles in my bed! Your dogs would be cared for just like they were my own and you would never have to worry that your baby went without love and attention in my care!

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!
Katelynn did a great job! She arrived at the time I requested. She took lots of pics & let me know how my fur babies did during her visit. Our meet & greet confirmed to me her committment to the care & love of animals she has! I would definitely recommend her for any pet lover in need of top-notch care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cedar Lake on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,263 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cedar Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cedar Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
