Ciara was absolutely amazing! Not only did she pull through for me at the very last minute, she went above and beyond while checking in on my boys, including grooming and vacuuming which were not expected but greatly appreciated 🙌 Pirelli and Sweeney already miss her, and we can't wait until the next time I'll need her services again. Ciara is friendly, knowledgeable, incredibly reliable, and with super fair rates. She is hands down my go-to for pet sitting services as long as she's around! Thanks Ciara :)

Shannon was excellent taking care of my kitties. She went above and beyond in caring for my cats. Shannon sent photos daily and on occasion videos. One video was one of my cats rubbing against her. I had no worries or concerns with Shannon. I was having problems getting and receiving text and emails When she didn’t hear from me, Shannon touched base with my son as requested. I will certainly use Shannon in the future and would recommend her as well.

Erika did house sitting for our dogs, Dolly and Baxter. Erika understood and worked with their high energy and fun during those visits while we were away on vacation. We highly recommend her for any type of sitting. Thank you Erika for all your help and support with our wigglebutt kids.

Alyssa swooped in and saved the day a few times when we were out of town for a week. Our little Princess loved her from the start and we felt good knowing she was in such good hands.

Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs, and I understand how important it is to make them feel comfortable when their people are away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet individually. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, or just someone nearby to make them feel comfortable, I’m happy to work around their normal routine. I understand that every pet is different, and I believe their care should reflect that. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I will always respect the instructions and preferences you provide and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar, comfortable, and stress free as possible.

Trish was great with our puppy. After the initial meet and greet, we were very comfortable having Trish come to our house and care for our puppy. She is clearly an animal lover. Her communication is excellent. She also sent us pictures and an overview of how things went during each visit. We are looking forward to having Trish care for Betty again.

Emma helped us out last minute by watching our dogs. Our dogs are unique and have special restrictions, so I was initially concerned about entrusting a stranger to care for them! However, Emma did a wonderful job and the weekend went off without issue. She was attentive and quick to respond via text as well!

This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.

About: I grew up with a variety of animals all around me, but I have especial experience with dogs and cats. I am a cat mama of 1 sweet, docile senior kitty. I am a 1st year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine, and I would love to take care of the furry friends in my new community! I am a full-time medical student. My first priority when I return home is my sweet old kitty, and your pet would join him in that spot as well! I am prompt to give abundant attention and play, and I follow a diligent feeding schedule. My cat is very socialized (grew up in a household of 7 people and 4 other cats/dogs), and he is fully up-to-date on his vaccinations. I love animals and would love to give a little extra care to others’ fur babies when I can! The safety and wellbeing of my cat is my number one priority, and I treat all animals to this same standard. I love showering my cat with attention, and I of course would pour my love into your pet as well. I am extremely mindful of respecting animals’ boundaries as well, and playing to the tune that is right for them. I love to embrace the unique animal personalities which come my way, and I am happy to accommodate pet needs as they present!

She responded to my inquiry really quickly and was accommodating to my cats special needs. He gets insulin shots and it’s hard to find someone with the availability for his times shots and knowledge to do them. She was great!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lackawanna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lackawanna on Rover is $17.76 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 463 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lackawanna. 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 Lackawanna. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.

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.
