“This was my first time using Rover—and my first time having someone outside of family care for my furry family member. I was a bit hesitant at first, not knowing what to expect. But Rover made the process easy, and more importantly, I found a wonderful cat caregiver in Brooke. We did a meet-and-greet at my home, and I instantly knew my cat was comfortable when he greeted her at the door. Brooke was attentive as I explained his routine and asked thoughtful questions that showed her experience and genuine care. While I was traveling, she checked in daily with detailed notes and adorable photos (bonus: she has a real knack for capturing the best pet moments!). From my cat’s relaxed expressions, it was clear he was well cared for, not stressed, and thoroughly enjoying the playtime and treats Brooke provided. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. I’ll absolutely be booking Brooke again for future trips!”
“Lorie took great care of my kitties while I was away, she gave them lots of love and sent wonderful photos. She made my trip relaxing and stress free knowing that my kitties were happy.”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was a child and grew up caring for them. My family fostered dogs and cats for about five years, which gave me hands-on experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. During that time, I handled daily care like feeding, walking, and helping them adjust to new environments. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time remotely and can mostly set my own hours, which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure your dog gets the attention and care they need throughout the day. As a pet owner, I know how important trust is. I’ll treat your pet like my own, follow your instructions carefully, and ensure they stay safe, happy, and cared for.
“Rachel has been amazing with Millie. She goes above and beyond. She is a great communicator and takes care of Millie as if she was her own dog. It gives me so much peace to be at work knowing my dog is getting loved on so well by Rachel.”
“I found Miranda last minute and she really helped me out watching my new puppy. She gave him lots of love and always sent me a detailed report of how her visit went. I highly recommend her.”
“Barbara was wonderful! She took care of our cat, frogs, and turtle while we were gone for 10 days. Our cat loved her and she made sure the other animals were cared for properly. She provided helpful updates and left us a daily log when we returned. I would definitely use Barbara again in the future!”
“Mike is very responsible sitter and help give love to MianMian as much as he can. We communicated well over the phone and he followed the instructions to take care of MianMian.”
“Christian was our first ever Rover, and he did a great job sending us pictures and updates at each check in to ensure we felt comfortable leaving two big energetic dogs in his care! We came home to two very happy dogs and would love to work with Christian again the next time we need a sitter.”
“I had a really great experience with Juniper. Juniper took wonderful care of my cats, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. My cats looked happy and well cared for when I got back home. Juniper even left a little drawing of one of my cats, which was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise. I really appreciated the extra care and kindness. I would absolutely book with Juniper again!”
“Cortney did a fantastic job checking in on our 2 dogs when we left them at home during a trip. She was reliable and communicative the entire time and took such cute photos of them! She refreshed their water every day and did a great job entertaining them during her visits.”
“We had a fantastic experience! Communication was excellent throughout our trip, with regular updates and plenty of pictures that gave us peace of mind. Zane clearly had a great time, and it was obvious he was well cared for. Everything we requested was handled exactly as discussed, and our sitter even went above and beyond by helping with a few house-related tasks while we were away, which we really appreciated. Our sitter was also very attentive to Zane’s needs and didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns when appropriate, which showed a genuine level of care and professionalism. We came home to a happy dog and a well-looked-after home. Zero complaints, we would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring pet sitter.”
“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”
“We have 2 senior cats that need specific food and medication. Amy was very responsive from the get-go and was very attentive to the cats! She did a great job with keeping us updated and sent us pictures of our kitties every visit. Our cats can be wary of strangers but they were clearly happy and comfortable with Amy!”
About: Loving sitter with tons of pet experience, from chickens to cows, and everything in between. I’m able to board your dog as a family member in my home. Must be good with other dogs and cats. My two teenagers are here to ensure lots of snuggles and walks- and the occasional treat. As someone who has worked in rescue a long time, I cannot accept unaltered pets. Work from home with two teenagers here to help as needed so someone is always here. I have 5 cats of my own and a small dog. We are able to create a loving, family atmosphere for your fur baby. We have a big yard but make sure to always go out with the fur babies in a leash. We frequently walk the neighborhood with our dog and are aware of the natural environment we live in. We’d love to board your dog while you enjoy time away.
About: I have been around many animals since I was a little kid. I frequently help take care of my neighbors and friend’s pets as well! I currently do not have a structured schedule going on, so I am pretty available! Though, I would prefer not being out past 7pm unless it is an overnight. This could be negotiated if necessary! Due to having 2 dogs myself I cannot offer my house up for daycare. Though, I am comfortable crating dogs in their homes and watching them in their own backyards!
About: Hi there! As a lifelong dog person, I have a lot of experience - I have cared for dogs weighing 8 to over 100lbs, and from 6 week old puppies to seniors. I am experienced in dogs with complex situations such as reactivity, fearfulness & timidness, and significant physical impairments. Currently, I own two rescue dogs - a 3 year old female German shepherd/malinois mix, and a 2 year old male Aussie who was born deaf & blind. So when I say the “hard to handle” pups are my speciality, I mean it! I would be happy to take your dog on a walk or local hike, to play outside with them, to work/train (my GSD/malinois girl requires regular scent work, agility, and intense variations on fetch to stay sane), or to simply give them affection. I don’t at all mind working with dogs that take time to win over, or that need extra TLC. All dogs are good dogs, and I can promise you that to me, they are all precious cargo - and will be handled as such in my care. I am a music teacher, and primarily work afternoons & evenings - so earlier in the day I have free time. I am also the mother of a young child, so am unavailable on weekends when he is home from school. I will adhere to strictly to instructions given (ie, your dog is crated or not, food allergies or sensitives to avoid, fears they have or the best ways to make them feel safe) and make sure above all else, they know I am someone they can look forward to seeing.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, growing up with Bernese Mountain Dogs, and now with two rescues! I've worked in an animal shelter with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I'm skilled at socializing, walking, and playing with dogs with all kinds of personalities. I've also cared for a reactive dog of my own, which has taught me even more about canine body language and how to respond safely. With experience ranging from puppies to seniors, including medical and special needs care, I give every dog the patience, and love they deserve, as if they were my own! I currently have a hybrid position, and hoping to care for animals with my extra time! Due to remote work, my schedule is quite flexible and I'm available for boarding or check ins most days. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my goal is to make things feel as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I stick to your usual routines so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to their moods and body language, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own, leaving it just as you left it. Happy to align with your needs!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Lake
Brenda continues to be awesome. She shows up exactly on time, gives our old kitty lots of love and attention and takes care of any accidents. Her superpower is the amazing action photos of our cat flying through the air chasing his toys. It makes us smile every single day when we are traveling.
We recently went on vacation and had Stephanie take care of our pets. It was our first time working with Stephanie, and we felt so happy that we chose her. She is very nice, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We received daily updates about the pets, and she provided the extra help we asked for during our booking. We look forward to our next vacation as we can trust Stephanie to care for our pets.
I had such a wonderful experience with my Rover sitter, Qin! She took amazing care of my cat Mimi while I was away. Every single day, she arrived right on time, made sure Mimi was well-fed, spent quality time with him, and kept everything clean—including his litter box and any little messes. What really stood out to me was how thoughtful and helpful she was beyond just pet care. She even helped bring back my trash can and kept an eye on the yard, which I truly appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mimi was in such caring and reliable hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and that means everything to me. I absolutely loved her service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter!
Lorie is fabulous and our pets love her! She is extra communicative and truly cares for the pets she’s sitting. She went above and beyond cleaning bowls, vacuuming, and picking up after the pets—truly a dream to come home to after a vacation. We typically board our deaf dog, but are so glad we didn’t. Biscuit got the extra love, care, and attention she deserved while we were away. We highly recommend Lorie!
Amy took care of my 20 year old cat for 9 days and was wonderful! Amy loves animals and it shows in her caring nature and attention to details. Annie needs medication twice a day and lots of love and Amy provided this and more. She kept me up to date with pictures and texts and even a video with a speaking part for Annie. Annie looked great and no signs of stress when we returned. I will use Amy for any future travel plans as she is the best!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cottage Lake on Rover is $42.18 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,006 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cottage Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottage Lake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
