“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”
About: Been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager. Experienced in pets, cuddles, mess clean ups, walks and giving medicine as needed! Can't wait to meet your pet! My schedule is open for helping take care of your critters! I am available throughout the day most days to provide the needed care for your cats and dogs! When caring for pets in someone else's home, it is really important to follow the standards set forth by the pet owners. Most pets have a set routine and it is important to stick with their routine while providing lots of love and attention.
“Mariela did a phenomenal job taking care of the doggies. She is professional, on time, and goes beyond expectations. We will definitely ask for her again. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.
“This is the first time I used Rover. We were very last moment and Sabrina was awesome. I have 3 cats with one needing insulin twice daily. Everything went perfectly. She worked with us to time the medication and feeding schedule. She was able to get my 2 skittish kitties to play with her and not run and hide as they usually do. I would definitely recommend her and will try to rebook her in the future.”
About: Hello! I’m a sitter in Lakeside offering loving, attentive care! I’ve been a cat and dog mom my entire life and a foster parent for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 5 years—from gentle giants to tiny pups. I’m passionate about daily walks, potty breaks, and providing love and care. If your dog needs medications, I’m experienced and comfortable administering them safely! Happy to do a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! Best, Angelina Darling I’m a student learning from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, I will always provide walks, playtime, meals (and medication as needed) making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved!
“This is our second time with Kaitlyn. She watched our puppy last time and this time she watched our cats while we were out of town. She sent us updates everyday with lots of photos. She is very reliable and took great care of our cats. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
About: Leaving your pet can be incredibly stressful, and leaving them with someone unknown can be even more so. I remember having a puppy and feeling so guilty going to work, always checking pet cameras to make sure she was okay, and then sighing when I saw her potty accidents that I'd have to clean later. I've had dogs my whole life from chihuahuas to pitties so I've learned a ton when it comes to animals. To me, each dog has a personality and I love learning about each one. Luna (white dog) is sassy, loud, and energetic whereas Aria (tan lab) is a huge (literally) lap dog who sleeps all the time. I'm very well equipped to handle dogs with medical circumstances as I have a blind senior chihuahua who has a seizure disorder and takes daily medication. I like to meet dogs before drop ins/walks/stays to not only learn their personality and preferences, but ensure they feel comfortable around me too. I will check in with you on how you want me to keep you updated: lots and lots and LOTS of pictures or maybe just one here and there so you can enjoy your day. I like to maintain your and your dogs boundaries and respect while providing an enriching environment with lots of attention so they feel okay without you there. If you have any questions or concerns I am always happy to talk more (: I am a new masters student at San Diego state university for psychology and as much as it would help to pay for school, it also gives me a huuuge stress reliever throughout the busy weeks. I only have classes in the afternoon and work a second part time job, so my hours are mostly on weekends (for your weekend trips!) with some flexibility during the week. I enjoy having some time away from my computer for a walk and fresh air and your dog is welcome to join! Communication is key, as they say! You know your pet best and I like spending some extra time learning about their personality, preferences, and party tricks! I've had some behavioral training with dogs and reactivity so I like to respect boundaries to ensure there is no bad moments with your pet. I have house sat numerous times and keep a clean place, especially if it's not my own space. For walks, I've had a reactive dog in the past and know how scary some moments can be. Safety is my highest priority for you and your pet, easily followed by having a blast.
“Loren communicates super well with us and sends pictures and updates along the way. She really goes the extra mile with the care of the dogs and I notice that when I get home they are relaxed, not stressed out. The space where the dogs dwell while we’re gone is orderly, and Loren also leaves cute thank you notes, which are a special touch. I’ve been using her pet sitting services for over a year now, and I will continue doing so because I feel assured they are in good hands with Loren.”
About: I grew up with so many animals around me! My mom has 3 cats and 2 dogs, and my dad has the opposite, 3 dogs and two cats. For a semester at college, I volunteered at a small cat adoption area where I would clean, play, and process cat adoptions. I also volunteer at an SPCA where I walk dogs, and clean dishes and laundry! I love love animals and learning their personalities, and have never lived without them. Even in college, my roommate had a service dog! I am on break from school, so I am available anytime within my break timeframe! I'm perfectly comfortable with quick check-ins, walks, and overnight stays! With good communication, I can ensure walks are safe by knowing your dogs' typical behavior and reactions to people, cars, other animals, or anything else. I would love to foster a good relationship with your animal and build trust so I can read their mood and behaviors efficiently!
“Shelby and Dalton took care of our 2 very shy, very aloof semi-feral cats. They followed the routine we had set up for them, and provided daily feedback and pictures! We would not hesitate to recommend them to others, or to have them back to cat-sit again.”
“Amber was absolutely awesome. My 2 Dobermans felt so comfortable with her, she gave me updates every time she was there feeding/walking them, also sent updated pictures of them. We are so grateful and happy to finally found someone to care for our pups while we are away. 10 ⭐️”
“Alexis is the absolute best. I LOVE looking at the photos and how happy Carter is during the visit. He adores her and all the time spent cleaning & playing & feeding him is so appreciated.”
“Maureen is amazing, so communicative, and she really cares about your pets! She’s so nice and friendly- all the animals love her! Highly recommend, will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised and helped raise multiple dogs from puppyhood, with experience across all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is real-world experience and reliability. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. This flexibility enables me to provide dependable, attentive, and consistent care for your pets while accommodating scheduled visits as needed. At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visit services. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and enjoyable care while following each dog’s individual routine, energy level, and specific needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.
About: I have about 10 years of house sitting experience. I am comfortable with all types of animal. From dogs and cats to turtles and chickens! I currently work in education on Monday-Friday 7:30-4pm. I am excited to do walks after work and snuggles in the evening. And lots of love and playing of the weekends. Safety is a top priority for me as well as updates. I love sending pictures of what we are up to and the fun we are having.
About: Hi my name is Ash! I currently don’t have a job so I’m available for all services at any time. I’ve been around different types of dogs my entire life. I love to keep dogs entertained and happy by playing with them, walking with them, letting them run around the house, feeding them yummy treats and food, and give lots of cuddles! I’m very good at keeping an eye on dogs when they are wearing a cone or if they are sick. I have experience on giving antibiotics to dogs. I usually let dogs out to go pee every 2-3 hours. I love all animals and am so excited to take care of your dog! I have an apartment but I live close to plenty of dog parks! My schedule is open I don’t work at a physical place right now so I have more than enough time to care for my dogs and yours! I have a nice spacious apartment your dog can run around in and I will always keep an eye on what they are doing. I always make sure there isn’t anything they could get into that would hurt them. Any mess that is made will also always be cleaned up.
About: I have been taking care of animals from small critters all the way to larger animals like horses for over 20 years. I am reliable and highly responsive. I will send photo updates, and make sure your pets are happy and well taken care of. I work part time outside of pet sitting and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to make sure your animals have the attention they need. I am able to care for your fur babies at your place, so they feel comfortable. This also minimizes stress instead of staying in a new environment
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lakeside is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Rubie did a wonderful job taking care of my boys while I was away. She made sure they were fed every day, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing with them so they stayed happy. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!
Shelby and Dalton were amazing! They did an initial meet and great with our cat prior to the scheduled drop in visits. They were thorough during the visits and were very good sports when our cat was being feisty. They even brought out/in our trash bins when asked. Would definitely recommend.
This is the first time I used Rover. We were very last moment and Sabrina was awesome. I have 3 cats with one needing insulin twice daily. Everything went perfectly. She worked with us to time the medication and feeding schedule. She was able to get my 2 skittish kitties to play with her and not run and hide as they usually do. I would definitely recommend her and will try to rebook her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeside on Rover is $28.89 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,088 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakeside. 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 Lakeside. On Rover:

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.
