“Lisa and Drew did a great job caring for our dog. We appreciated all of the photo updates and reaching out with questions about how to keep our dog cool in the heat and if he had any issues with storms. We would gladly use them again! Thank you!”
“This is the second time Lauren came to visit my cats while I was out of town. She still had all the notes from last time 3 cats all with special diets. I felt good knowing they would be well taken care of. Thanks Lauren!”
About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix many years ago. He was with us over 14 years and we loved him so much! We just recently adopted a kitten a little over a year ago. She is a tuxedo house cat named Smokey. Drop-in visits and dog walking are what we are able to offer as of right now. We may bring boarding back into the mix when Smokey is a bit older. Jenny works part time and has time for drop-in visits as well as dog walking. If allowed by the pet parents our kids (10 and 12) would also love to help out! We play with Smokey in our home with balls, springs, socks! I am happy to pet and play with your pet. Feed, let out, clean litter boxes, and taking leashed dogs for walks.
“This is the second time we've had Julia check in on our cat Gizmo for multiple visits. She always sends great photos of how well he's doing and even fixed our automatic cat feeder this time and completely changed out his litter for us! We love Julia and so does Gizmo!”

Your paws are in good hands. :) I’m currently in my career don’t let that fool you! I am an early riser and a would love to be able to check in or walk your furry friend as early at 4am! Weekends and flexible! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and trustworthy environment where every dog is treated like family.

I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away!
“Robyn does an excellent job! We have 3 cats with an involved routine and had very lengthy and specific instructions. Robyn is intelligent, communicates well, responds quickly, and follows detailed instructions well. She also has a calming presence, vibe, and speaking voice, which is incredibly helpful for cats. She knows how to respect cat’s autonomy. I was impressed that she approached them in a way that lets them decide if they want to receive attention. She provides excellent notes and photos with each visit and as pet parents, we are relieved to have someone like her to care for them while we are away.”
“Emmalee took excellent care of our cats while we were away on a long vacation. She kept us updated with plenty of photos of her playing with them and spending quality time together, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip!”
“Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)”
About: I had a family dog growing up, and I have had two of my own dogs as an adult. I currently have a 10 year old goldendoodle who is the best being I know. I also have cared for and taken daily walks with another goldendoodle for a family that I work for. Love getting to know dogs and their personalities. Pets are simply the best! I make it a priority to take our dog to different parks and go for walks and spend lots of time snuggling. I look forward to getting to know your pets, what their needs are, and what makes them happy. I work part time, so I am able to easily fit in time between work hours to care for your dogs routinely. I generally have the most availability in the am. I have dog of my own who gets time outside, walks and play daily. I would be able to get your dog out for walks on a regular routine basis as I know how important this is for them.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.

I have flexible availability throughout those days, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, so I can adjust to your pet’s routine as needed.

I have lived with dogs and cats for about 15 years and also have experience with small animals such as guinea pigs, bunnies, ferrets, and hamsters.

I am doing pet sitting at home full time starting September 1st so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets!

About: Ive taken care of pets for friends and family across all sorts of breeds, species, and ages. I have years of experience owning a senior dog, and understand just how much our fuzzy friends mean to us. I currently work a super flexible job as a substitute teacher, and can make nearly any time you need work! Im guaranteed to be availible weekends and week nights, and will make more time if you are able to give me notice. I am keenly aware of the environment around me, as well as the lovable friends that inhabit it. I can quickly observe and react to their behaviors, and meet their needs with no delays.
About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cedar Lake is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 November 2026, there are 4,561 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cedar Lake. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
