Lina is extremely attentive and caring towards our pets. Even our usually shy kitty has learned to come and greet her at the door. We feel at ease leaving our pets knowing they are in the best hands!

About: Hi, I’m Landrum! I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of hands-on experience. I’ve fostered two dogs and two puppies, lived with cats for two years, and spent three years volunteering at the Orange County Humane Society during college. Since my current living space doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love, I’m excited to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time with a flexible WFH schedule and I’m off on Sundays and Mondays. I can provide care around my work hours and have availability most evenings. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and create a comfortable, stress-free environment. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on safety, enrichment, and plenty of attention. My goal is to keep pets happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs like Boston terrier, golden retriever and cockapoo for years. Neighbors, families and friends, they all are comfortable with me for petting their loved ones. I have experienced with staying with dogs overnight, playing, walking dogs and blushing and cleaning them. I’m pretty easy to get along with any kind of dogs. I’m currently working a part time job, so I have plenty of time for taking care of the pups! I would be available after 6pm on weekdays and full day on Sunday. I’m pretty good and easy to get a long with any kind of dogs with warm heart. I can create and make your loved ones feel safe and comfortable with me.

Ajia is professional and communicative. I have two cats who aren’t always the easiest to deal with and have complicated medication, however Ajia handled them with ease. She also has managed to be in good graces with my oldest cat who is notoriously moody. I felt that my cats were in good hands.

Trent took excellent care of our three pets while we were away. We have three pets, an older black lab Coal requires medication twice daily (thanks to some jerk running him over in the dog park parking lot), along with my wife’s two cats, Cooper & Murphy. Trent was completely reliable with his care routine, including using excellent judgement on the length of Coal’s three daily walks in last week’s extreme heat. What really impressed us was how quickly he connected with Murphy. She is extremely shy and cautious around new people, especially men, but she warmed up to Trent almost immediately and even sitting next to him to let him pet her - which is the highest praise we could give any pet sitter! Trent was easy to work and coordinate with, including being very responsive. His communication throughout our trip was outstanding. He kept us updated and sent wonderful photos that gave us such peace of mind knowing our quadrupeds were in great hands. His attention to detail and genuine care for our pets made our time away stress-free, evidently stress free for our pets as well given Murphy’s endorsement. We highly recommend Trent and will definitely be booking him again for future trips.

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

Fantastic! Communication was above and beyond what I expected, the updates, and pictures assured me as a nervous Mom that I picked the right person for my little menagerie of pets. I am overjoyed with the care my pets and I received from Lindsay. Even from overseas I was able to communicate daily, and when the unexpected happened at my home ( loss of power due to a storm) she made me feel calm and assured my pets were ok. I’m so grateful to have found her!

Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!

About: I love all animals, big and small, and I am not afraid of any size. I feel all animals should be loved just as us. I was raised with cats and dogs, but love all types of animals. I can watch animals on a brief basis or longer depending on the situation. However, depending on the type of animal and their needs I can take care of all animals. The animals that I can look in on have no boundaries. If I watch an animal I would need it to be potty trained and comfortable in a small yard. It would get plenty of care.

Henry was great! One of our cats is super friendly and took to Henry immediately, enjoying lots of playtime with him. Our other kitty is much more shy, but Henry was patient with him, and he eventually warmed up to him as well. Both of our cats were well cared for, and we felt confident they were in good hands. We would definitely hire Henry again!

Lei went above and beyond in caring for Pumpkin. It was clear that she treated my cat with genuine kindness, patience, and love rather than just completing the visits. She paid close attention to Pumpkin’s needs and took the time to make her feel comfortable. Knowing that someone cared for my cat as if she were their own made our trip so much less stressful. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely trust Lei to care for Pumpkin again in the future.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lake Barcroft

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lake Barcroft on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,366 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Barcroft. 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 Lake Barcroft. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
