“Felicia went *above* above and beyond with my skittish cat! She sent such nice updates and lots of photos, brought extra treats for my lil man, and experimented with different ways to engage him. He was having big trouble before my trip, as he’d recently lost his brother – so I was extremely worried about leaving him. Felicia took that to heart and loved on him as if he were her own. She must have a sixth cat sense, because my cat is very shy and skittish; despite that, he quickly became comfortable with her, and even endured a building-wide alarm test without any residual trauma upon my return. That speaks volumes about how Felicia put him at ease! I can’t recommend her as a cat sitter enough.”
“Emma did a great job with our pets. Our two dogs have some special needs and Emma did a great job accommodating us! Rocket needs to be carried and Quill needs a little patience as he’s slow with his commands (He’s a nervous guy). She demonstrated care, attentiveness, and was prompt. As a bonus she gave out cats some love while I was out. I’ll gladly trust my pets to her again. Thanks Emma!”
“Mark was super efficient, easygoing, and great to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I felt comfortable leaving my pup Grace in his care. I’d definitely love to use his services again in the future.”
About: "As a dedicated and reliable pet caregiver, i will provide an experience tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that your dog is a beloved family member, which is why I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine—from specific feeding times and favorite walking routes to their preferred sleeping spots. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer who needs plenty of playtime or a calm senior who appreciates gentle companionship and belly rubs, I offer attentive, one-on-one care in a safe and loving environment. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and the same level of affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure your dog stays happy, healthy, and tired out until your return!" As a part-time employed Mom and Grandma, I like to be busy and have time to spare for loving more than just my family and pets. At this moment, I have 3 dogs and two cats, all who need my personal attention several times a day. I would love to do that for you too. I know what it’s like to be stressed about your kitty or dog while away and I can help relieve that, even for just a day or a week.
“Julia was AWESOME!!! The communication was amazing!! Very reliable and trustworthy. Julia went above and beyond her duties and I will definitely use her service again and spread the word!! THANK YOU JULIA!! Baby says hi!!!”
About: I love all animals and grew up around dogs :) My family’s adopted dog came to us with lots of past trauma to work through. With lots of love, time, and care she’s made so much progress! Through this experience I’ve been able to understand dogs better and the care that they need. She is also a senior dog and I have grown up with her, so I understand the needs of dogs of different ages and temperaments. I understand that not every dog is the same and different dogs have different needs. I will do my absolute best to provide for specific needs of your dog! I have quite an open schedule at the moment, so I will be free quite often to walk your dog or drop in to check on them! I have a fenced yard at my home and if caring for dogs at your place I can take them out, make sure everything is clean and under control, or whatever you would like!
“Claire is an amazing sitter! She took such good care of our sassy teenage cat. It is my first time using Rover and Claire made me feel immediately at ease and was incredibly communicative while watching our cat. We highly recommend her for any pet sitting you may need!”
About: We have owned pets for 20+ years including cats, dogs, a rabbit, fish, chickens and more, and have taken care of a variety of pets for friends, family and neighbors along the way. We have also volunteered for the local Petsmart taking care of kittens and adult cats in the catio. We love our pets and will adore yours as well! We can provide care such as, but not limited to, feeding, watering, medications, cuddling, playing, walking and plenty of love. Laurilee works part-time a couple of days per week as a RN. Travis works full-time from home generally with a flexible schedule as a consulting Forester. We have availability for drop-ins or walks generally between 12:30-2:30 a few days per week and occasional weekends, however this varies and will need to remain somewhat flexible, as we also care for our elderly grandmother. We can not offer baording or overnight stays at owners homes at this time. We are not available for evenings currently, as we have our childrens' activities. We are responsible and will honor the safety requests that you have for your pet(s) in your home and/or on walks. We will maintain a friendly and fun environment while keeping safety the #1 priority. Rover completed background checks on both Travis and Laurilee. In the case of an emergency we would contact you, your emergency veterinarian if shared with us, and Rover immediately. We both have the American Red Cross Pet First Aid app downloaded on our smart phones for quick access for urgent care recommendations if ever needed, along with quick access to the Rover Guarantee webpage and emergency number. Available most weekdays, M-F 12:30pm-2:30pm. Not available evenings or weekends. Boarding and overnight care is not offered at this time. Check-ins and walks may be done by Laurilee, Travis or both depending on the day. If approved, our teenage daughters may join us when available for extra pets and playmates. At this time we are unable to offer pet care service in our home. We have many of our own pets who do not appreciate having other animals in the house.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 11, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether it’s for a day or longer stays, I truly enjoy being around fur babies and always provide attentive, loving care—treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s routine, safety, and comfort, so you can feel confident your pup is in caring, reliable hands! I am currently unemployed, which means I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be home and fully attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day. This means consistent supervision, timely meals, regular walks, plenty of playtime, and loving, dependable care :) I care for pets just like I do my own at home. I have two dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I keep a safe, clean space, supervise closely, and make sure everything is secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. My goal is always for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
“So kind and so thorough with checking in. Really appreciate Jenna because we were so nervous about leaving our babies to be looked after by someone we didn’t know but she was so great with them!”
“My worries vanished when I started having Autumn catsit! Daily photo updates kept me calm, while their attentiveness ensured my shy cat came out of her shell. 5 purrfect stars, no question!”
About: With 14 years of experience in veterinary medicine, caring for animals has become second nature to me. From energetic puppies to beloved senior companions and pets with medical needs, I've had the privilege of helping animals through every stage of life. My veterinary background allows me to confidently administer medications, care for pets with chronic medical conditions, recognize changes in behavior or health, and provide calm, compassionate care to pets who may be anxious or require a little extra patience. I know trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a big decision. That's why I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your companion loves long walks, playing fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to professional animal care. I'm excited to bring years of veterinary experience, dependable communication, and genuine compassion to every family I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday life. I share my home with a 7-month-old Chihuahua puppy and a 4-year-old Chiweenie, so my days revolve around walks, playtime, training, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. I enjoy all kinds of activities with dogs, whether that's relaxing on the couch, exploring local trails, or going on longer hikes. Since I have a flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets lots of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With 14 years of veterinary experience, I'm comfortable recognizing signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and responding appropriately if concerns arise. I take time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special care needs to help them feel secure while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully and keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets can relax, have fun, and feel loved.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Shore
She did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very thorough. I especially appreciated that she emptied the Litter-Robot waste drawer and took the bag out to the trash in the garage. She also rinsed out the cat food bowls really well, put them in the dishwasher, and recycled the empty food cans, which I really appreciated. It was clear she paid attention to the details and took good care of everything while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
Rebecca checked in on time twice a day and took great care of Arlo. He likes to go outside on his leash and she sent me plenty of pics on their “walks.” Arlo loves his humans and I felt terrible leaving his at my mom’s house for three days but Rebecca was in touch with me all of the way and put me at ease. I highly recommend Rebecca!
Kristen was very communicative and flexible with my last minute request. My usually shy cat took to her right away and was immediately comfortable upon our meet and greet. I felt very comfortable having Kristen come over while we were gone and felt happy knowing my cat was in great care, getting lots of snuggles and loves from her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lake Shore on Rover is $15.54 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 3,425 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Shore. 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 Shore. On Rover:
- 97% 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.
