About: I go beyond the basics to ensure every pet feels loved, and truly safe in my care. I have genuine passion for animals with exceptional reliability and attention to detail. I pride myself on tailoring my care to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s providing energetic playtime, comforting cuddles, or simply maintaining their routines for a sense of familiarity. I also focus on creating a seamless experience for pet parents by staying highly communicative, sending regular updates, and being flexible to accommodate schedules. My goal is to bring peace of mind to pet parents, knowing their furry family members are in caring and capable hands. As a semi-empty nester, I’ve found myself with a little more space in my heart and time in my day for giving love and care to your fur babies. With a hybrid work position that offers flexibility, I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a cuddles during downtime, or sticking to their routines, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care when you need it most. I understand how important it is for your pets to feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Caring for them in their own home allows me to maintain their routines, which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. From feeding to playtime and cuddles, I ensure their unique needs are met with attention and affection. I’m also highly respectful of your home. I treat it as if it were my own—keeping it tidy, secure, and ensuring your pets feel cared for in a familiar environment. With my flexible schedule and attentive care, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pets and home are in trustworthy hands.

“This was our first time hiring someone to care for our pets and we were truly so lucky to find Layla. She took her time each and every visit to ensure they were comforted and well looked after. Her communication was extremely thorough and prompt. She took the BEST care of our boys, and we felt so comforted knowing she was watching them. We cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I would love to walk and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I love walking in and seeing the smiles when they know they get to go for a walk! I’m a local PreK teacher so my schedule is usually free after 3:30 on weekdays, but my weekends are usually wide open! Growing up I always had animals in my house so I’m very comfortable with messes they make or medicine they need, so if your babies need that too I’d be more than happy to help! If you’re looking for someone to have your pets feel comfortable and happy all day, even while you’re away, I’d love to be that person! I'm currently a PreK teacher at a local elementary school, so my weekdays are open starting around 3:30 pm! On the weekends, I usually hang out at home or around town, so my schedule is pretty flexible! In your home, I promise to follow whatever makes your pets the most comfortable! Whether your dogs like to lounge on the couch or feel more content in a crate, I'll do whatever you'd like!

“This was our first time using the Rover service for sitting our cats, so we were naturally cautious. Based on their prior reviews, we reached out to Mariana and Daniela. Our meet and greet was pleasant and we felt at ease that they would be reliable and caring for our boys while we were away. We were not wrong. They looked after our boys every day while we were out of the country for 2 weeks, making sure their food, water and litter were taken care of. They sent us daily updates so we were kept updated which put our minds at ease. I had forgotten to tell them that one of our cats has an eye issue. As soon as they saw the issue they reached out to make us aware and if there is anything they need to do. We appreciated that. Now we have used Rover, we will use the service again and would not hesitate on recommending Mariana and Daniela.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been the go-to sitter for friends and family. I also volunteer with Furry Friends Pet Rescue, where I’m approved to walk and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. In addition, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with dogs that require extra patience and care. Whether it’s playing, feeding, walking, or just keeping dogs company while their people are away, I bring experience, empathy, and genuine love to every pup I meet. I’m a student at USF with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most afternoons after class and all day on weekends for walks or drop-ins. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I provide care in your home where your dog feels most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or playtime, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I always follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with the respect and professionalism it deserves.

About: My experience includes different breeds, sizes, ages-(puppy to senior) disabilities, and some temperaments but exceptions may apply. Understanding individual needs is my best quality. If you have questions please ask. I am a student currently- so I am pretty available unless appointments overlap which I give plenty of notice. It is a top priority of mine to be transparent in scheduling as the animals depend on me! In my care I emphasise accuracy in your routine, plus safety for both me and the pet. If your pet has special requirements for safety such as being known to swallow or chew on certain things, communication is key!

About: I have lived with and been around dogs my entire life. While I don't have as much experience with cats, I love them just the same! My biggest priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy under my care. I currently work full time on weekdays and am free after 4:30pm, and free most weekends. I'm happy to assist with your pets any way I can! I live in a fairly small apartment (about 540 sqft) but I ensure pets under my care are completely comfortable. By default, I let pets roam the apartment freely but I have no problem accommodating crating as well.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. They have always been part of my life, and I never had any complaints. I’ve had cats, dogs, lizards, turtles, etc! everyone around me knows my love for animals and asks me questions about their own pets if they don’t know something. My dream is to have a huge farm filled with a bunch of animals. Animals will always be part of who i am :) I currently have a full time job from Tues-Sat so I am available mornings those days, Sunday and Monday all day to care for your babies :) I always treat peoples pets as if they were my own, giving them the care they need if it’s food, cuddles, or walks! whatever the precious pet needs!

About: Hi there!! My name is Jordan. I have grown up with so many different kinds of animals! I currently have 2 dogs, 5 fish tanks, 2 toads, 1 gecko, 1 turtle, 1 tortoise, and 1 little jumping spider (who i adore to death). My mom is a veterinarian so i’ve grown up surrounded by animals and known animal information all my life. Both of my parents are animal lovers, so of course I am! I love animals so much i have a huge space in my heart for all of them. A lot of people tell me that i love them too much or look at me crazy when i cry over a dead grasshopper or plan my fish a burial service if they have passed instead of flushing them, but it really is just true emotions haha! I will care and love your animals just like my own, i would really love to stay with them and make them feel comfortable :) I work a full time job, monday to friday 8am to 5pm, i take an hour lunch break at 12 pm! i can stay with your pets throughout any day, take care in the morning, if close enough, come and care for lunch time and then straight back after i get off! my job is pretty lenient with accommodations for schedules so please ask if anything different is needed, and i’ll do what i can :) Typically when i pet sit for my clients, i will make sure they are taken care of at the times you need, if needed to be given a good walk i will walk them because i love to walk! I play with them! Anything and everything to make your pets feel at ease and comfortable while you’re away! :)

About: I am currently a dog walker and have worked at shelters since I was 13. I love animals more than I love anything on Earth. Time spent with dogs is time well spent. My passion in this world is to take care of animals and make sure that they are the happiest they can possibly be at all times. I hope to one day open my own dog boarding facility where I can fulfill my dreams. I love dogs of all shapes and kinds. I have dealt with special needs dogs, senior dogs, sick dogs, etc. I am friendly and enthusiastic. I would treat your pet like my own at all times and love it like I would mine. Please ask me any questions you may have! I work a full time job, but have plenty of time before and after shifts that I can make myself available for your pet needs. I love doing drop in visits and dog walks for my clients. I get to bring a little bit of fun to the pets day and still fit that into my daily schedule.

Without a doubt the best sitter we have ever had. When your skittish kitty cannot get enough rubs from day 1 it is clear that your sitter is an animal lover. Bethany's daily pictures spoke louder than words showing our 2 kitty's enjoying Bethany's rubs with her lying on the floor next to them. Our kitties are older with gastric issues and accompanied vomits, but Bethany assured we come home to a spotless home. We highly recommend Bethany to take care of your animal friend/s The only issue we foresee is that your pet/s might be sad when you return home and Bethany leaves.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lakeshore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lakeshore is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,033 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeshore. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
