“Ethan was fantastic for our dogs first day care! At the meet-and-greet he took time to get to know both dogs on a short stroll around the neighborhood and paid careful attention to the instructions. After the first visit Ethan sent a photo of both dogs in the backyard - happy and ready to play. Really appreciate the punctuality and care he put into the details.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Did a great job introducing herself to my shy cat and gave him plenty of attention after he quickly warmed up to her! I could tell from the pictures she sent that my cat was loving her company.”
“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!”
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.
“Mike recently watched my two cats for a week. He took time to meet with me in person, kept me informed on when he stopped in, sent me photos and was very responsive when I asked questions. I am very pleased and would definitely recommend him!”
“We haven't used Rover before and were a bit skeptical until we met Miranda! She took such good care of our cat and made us feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Renee was absolutely great! We chose her based on her recommendations, and she lived up to them. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, which means so much to us since they're our family. She was friendly, personable, and so sweet with our girls. Renee arrived right on time, sent plenty of photos, and provided a thoughtful, detailed report after each visit. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Cortney helped me out in a pinch and am so grateful for her ability to check on my girl while I was at work and send photos too. Easy to communicate with and updated me with all the information I would want to know. Thank you Courtney!”
“Kathleen did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat. She performed everything we asked, and went above and beyond to vacuum our floor without being asked to. I would be very comfortable to have Kathleen take care of our cat again.”
“I was really nervous to leave Lulu for the first time but callaway did an amazing job, kept me updated and sent pics and Lulu seemed to enjoy her time!”
“Lorie looked after our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She is very professional, caring and conscientious and we felt at ease while we were away, knowing that our cats and home were in good hands. She gave us very thorough visit reports which we appreciated very much. We would love to have her look after our cats again.”
About: I have five years of experience dog sitting and house sitting for friends and family. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m responsible, reliable, and respectful of clients’ homes, and I make sure to follow instructions carefully. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I have experience house sitting and caring for pets while owners are away, and I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal schedule. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I communicate regularly and can provide updates and photos throughout my visits or stay. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I always follow care instructions carefully and make sure pets remain safe, comfortable, and on their usual routine. While house sitting, I keep homes clean, secure, and well cared for, and I treat both pets and property with respect. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel loved and you feel that your house safe and secure while away.
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Lake
Brenda was responsive and took time to come by before our trip for a meet and greet with our cats since this was the first time she watched them. She came within the desired time frame and followed our care instructions. We also really appreciate how well she handled our very old grumpy cat as well as our younger energetic cat who is dealing with a leg injury. We would definitely recommend Brenda to others and would book her again in the future!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cottage Lake on Rover is $42.18 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 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 August 2026, there are 6,019 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:

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.
