Camron is professional, efficient and detail-oriented. During my recent trip away, she was very attentive and sweet to my older, fussy male cat. And because of her pleasant daily communication and pictures, I was able to have a worry-free vacation. She is the best sitter ever and I look forward to having her visit my cat again!

Although Payton only watched our pups for a short time during a quick trip, she did an outstanding job! We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. We'll absolutely be using her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!

Ariana did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. She gave them lots of attention, played with them, and took care of all of their needs. We received updates and pictures every day from her and she was always very responsive to any messages. Highly recommend Ariana and will definitely book her again in the future!

About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.

During our initial meet and great I could tell that Pam loves cats. My cat, who usually runs from everyone she doesn't know, loved Pam as well. This made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cat in Pam's care. Receiving pictures everyday really helped put me at ease as well. I would highly recommend Pam and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a cat sitter!

About: I’ve had pets throughout my life. Most dogs approach me readily. I enjoy giving belly rubs and back scratching. Playing fetch in and outside and giving them attention I am retired and am available 7 days a week and am at home most of the day. I leave a sliding glass door and patio door open for them to go in and out freely I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room to run. I don’t have a a 80lb Black Lab under 2 years old that’s loves playing. I have Airbnb space and welcome pet guests along with the two legged variety. I have a pool for the swimmers and vinyl floors for cool resting spaces I’m retired from a career in accounting so dog care is the biggest part of my day. It give me flexibility to schedule meet and greets an can accommodate drop offs and pickups throughout the day and evenings I work hard keeping your pet safe. I separate dogs at their feeding times to avoid any territorial issues I allow the dogs as much outdoor time as possible I keep hard bones and ropes all around to keep them occupied. Most daycare dogs leave having spent a lot of energy and usually rest well when they get home I am fully retired so I’m home all day most days. If I go out to run errands I’m gone 1-2 hours. Should I be gone longer, I will check your practice that you use there. I’m outside a lot and will let your dog play as much as possible, I do have a covered patio with a tile floor so the can cool down and get water. I have a pool that I can block access when needed Pets sleep indoors and usually in my bedroom floor or my bed when there’s enough room. I allow them on my sofas and the sleep there as well. I feed them twice a day between 7-8am and 5-6pm and treats in between

About: We are located on 5 acres fully fenced in Land O' Lakes. It's like have a full doggie park out the front door. We love it!! We have been watching dogs for friends and family for years. The kids love playing with dogs. Any medication your pet(s) may need we will handle. Any special toys or beds are welcomed (and encouraged) to be brought, along with food/water bowls. We want your furry family member to feel right at home. If the furry family member needs special attention with anything we will accommodate those needs. When you are on vacation, your furry family member will be on their own little vacation in a home away from home. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. We love all dogs! Pet care is our everyday life. We are up between 5:30 and 6am. The larger dogs get a 1.5 to 3 mile walk every morning. The smaller and older dogs get a walk to more suit their individual needs. After the morning walk its breakfast time with one more short out before we are off to work. The pups get an afternoon walk along with a longer evening walk before dinner. Then shortly before bedtime we go outside one more time. This is normal day, but will be modified around the pups needs and our schedule. All pups are treated as they are part of our family while in our care. They get loved, pets and playtime. We allow all pups on the sofa and bed (unless asked by the owner not too).

About: I have always been an animal lover since I could remember. I have dog sat and walked many many years. I used to do it full time when I was younger so I figured why not make an extra buck doing something I absolutely love! I am a paramedic. I am an energetic person ready to help your dog burn some of its own energy. I look forward to caring for your dog as much as you would. I have experience with dogs from chihuahuas to retrievers, from puppies to seniors as well as birds. I have two birds of my own. I love them all. Unfortunately no cats in my house due to my husbands allergies. I only work 3 days a week so I am available more days then not. I do not ever work past 4pm so am available most nights. I am always respectful of homes and treat them as I would my own. Your home and pet or pets are safe in my hands.

About: I've been around animals for most of my life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up with cats and have helped care for family dogs over the years, including feeding, playtime, walks, and as many kisses as they will tolerate from me lol. I also completed community service at a local animal care facility in High School where I gained experience working around a variety of animals and learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and attentive care. As a pet sitter and dog walker, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reliable companion, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family members! I’m currently working part time serving so most of my days are free! This is a win win for me because i’m a hot girl walk lover!! I have two cats at home so I won’t be able to house any pets at my apartment but I would be more than happy to travel to you and care for your pets in your home! I also have an SUV so I can take pups to the dog park or just a car ride if they like those!

About: Hi I’m Andrea and I’m a big animal lover! I am 29, have experience with all types of dogs and have worked in a doggy daycare as well as volunteered at the humane society. With being in a smaller home, I don’t have the space for a pet at the moment, but I would greatly enjoy being able to care and love on your furry friends! I am fairly open on weekends and holidays. I enjoy going on daily walks around my community and am very active, I can do trips such as taking your dog to the park or beach. Although I cannot care for dogs in my home, I treat your home like my own. I am responsible and always ensure doors are locked as well as fences, and that things are left as they were. I follow your directions and instructions.

Camron did a great job with reoccurring visits to take care of my cat while I was on vacation. I always knew when she arrived and she always took plenty of photos to show what she had done and so I could see my cat. She even brought in my mail for me and swept up the cat litter off the floor. I will definitely use her services again!

“Chris did a great job checking in on my cats. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Even my more reserved cat felt comfortable around him, which says a lot. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I’d definitely trust him with them again.

I've used Ashley a total of 3 times now to take care of my baby. I was gone for 2 weeks on vacation out of the country back in October, then as soon as I got home, I immediately had to leave and fly out of state for a family emergency. She was able to help on late notice. She sends a ton of pictures and is communicative. Plus my sweet little cat likes her.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lakeshore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeshore 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 3,390 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakeshore. 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 Lakeshore. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
