“Valerie was absolutely wonderful as a drop-in sitter for our two cats! Not only did she conscientiously complete all instructions with care, she noticed details and proactively took initiative. Communication was outstanding with many updates, photos, and cute cat videos. She was insightful and sensitive to our cats' unique personalities, in tune with their needs and respecting their cat moods. She worked above and beyond, generous with her visit time, even bringing a fun cat toy that my kitties loved. We are selective about our pet care, and I am confident that our kitties were in the best hands!”

“Mark did a remarkable job...so remarkable that I think KodaBear misses him! He sent pictures or videos with every visit and gave him all his medications with ease. I will, without question, be asking him to take care of KodaBear again in the future. Thank you, Mark!”

“LeAnn was very friendly and conscientious with our two cats. She came over before we left to meet them, go over the instructions, and understand where everything is and what needed to be done while we were gone. She spent enough time to play with both cats and give them some much-needed attention. We appreciated her pictures and updates on how the cats were doing. Both of them were comfortable with Leann and were very friendly with her. We are very happy with how she did and plan to use Leann again in the future as our primary cat-care person.”

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

About: I grew up being around dogs my whole life. We typically had at least 2 and they have always been treated as family members. I lived with a cat in college and brought my own baby home shortly after. We have two cats at home, and I would love to spend even more time with animals!! I work full time and live in the same city. Depending on the weekend, I don’t typically have a lot going on and would love to be around animals more. I am pretty active so I would gladly take walks! We have two cats that are strictly indoor. They basically have free rein of the house. I understand that pets can be reserved around unknown people, so I am willing to build that trust and just hang out if needed.

About: I have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs in both daycare and boarding environments. My responsibilities included supervising groups of dogs, providing meals and medications when needed, maintaining clean and safe play areas, giving dogs individual attention, and making sure each pet was comfortable and well cared for during their stay. I also have experience grooming dogs, including bathing, brushing, drying, and general coat care. Working in a professional pet-care environment taught me how to handle dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs while keeping their safety and happiness a priority. work full-time in the afternoons and evenings, so I have great availability for pet care during the mornings and early afternoons. I’m also available on my days off and can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’m dependable and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. take pet safety and comfort very seriously. I’m experienced caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages, and needs, and I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home secure, make sure your pets have everything they need, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”

About: Your pets are part of your family, and they deserve the best care possible. That's exactly what I give every animal I look after. I'm a proud cat mom to Salam and Binx, and I've been caring for other people's pets for years. I've dog sat for my family's goldendoodle for several years and regularly look after friends' cats. I also volunteered at Caring for Cats, where I got hands-on experience with cats of all personalities. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. You'll get daily photo updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I truly love everything about caring for animals, and I'd love to meet yours. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. I don't host pets in my home, so all of my care happens in yours. Your pet stays in the environment they know best, with their own bed, their own routine, and none of the stress that comes with a new place. In-home visits: Fresh food and water, litter box scooped or potty break handled, medications given as directed, and real time spent with your pet. Play, brushing, or a quiet lap sit, depending on what they're into. I don't rush in and out. Dog walking: Leashed walks at a pace that fits your dog, whether that's a brisk loop or a slow sniff around the block. I keep a close eye on other dogs and traffic, and I always clean up. While you're away: I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, adjust blinds, and keep an eye on things so your home looks lived in. I leave everything exactly as I found it. Before every booking I do a meet and greet so we can go over your pet's routine, quirks, medical needs, and anything that makes them nervous. I want to know where the leash lives and what your vet's number is before you ever leave. You'll get daily photo updates, and I'm always reachable if something comes up.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lakeland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeland 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 2,477 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakeland. 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 Lakeland. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
