“This was our first time using Rover and our great new cat sitter Corrie! After our Meet & Greet, we were confident Corrie would be a great fit for us and our 17 year old cat, Gracie. And then, Corrie exceeded our expectations on the first assignment. We've already got another assignment with Corrie in a few weeks and Rover is our new Go To for pet sitting services!”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.
“Heather took great care of my cat while I was gone. She also was very responsive and helped me add a day I forgot to book last minute. I will certainly be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Casey watched our cat, Aurora, for a couple days while we were out of town. She was timely, very communicative, and made sure our fur baby was happy while we were away. We also appreciated her taking our last minute request!”
“Jordan did a great job! They kept the space clean, litter boxes tidy, and the cats fed and entertained with lots of pictures and updates! Very grateful for their care.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something that truly brings me joy! I raised my own dog from the time she was just 4 months old, and we shared many wonderful years together before I sadly had to say goodbye to her last year. She taught me so much about the love, patience, and commitment that go into caring for a dog, and she will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ Throughout our time together, I taught her all kinds of tricks and commands, including sit, down, turn around, speak, roll over, up, and stay, along with many others! I love spending time with dogs, keeping them engaged, and helping them learn through positive reinforcement, patience, and encouragement. These days, I enjoy helping friends care for their dogs while they're out of town. Whether it's keeping them company, playing with them, maintaining their routines, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I'm always happy to have some furry friends around! I also have experience caring for a dog with additional medical needs. During my dog's last year, she developed Cushing's disease, which taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and understanding when a dog needs extra care and support. This experience has given me a special appreciation for senior dogs and dogs who may need a little extra help or a gentler approach. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, still learning their manners, getting older, or needs extra attention, I'll do my best to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you're away. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. 🐶💕 I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to fit pet care into my day. I love having furry companions around while I work and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I'll do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! ❤️ I follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur. I live with conures and I also frequently watch my sisters miniature zoo which includes dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, bugs, ducks & chickens. & I enjoy saving stray animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.
“Manny did an excellent job with my puppy Maggie! He responded to messages quickly, made sure she got a good exercise and potty break, and sent pictures of every visit. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel came back to watch my cats again while I was gone for work and we had a great experience just like the first time. She is very communicative and proactively took care of things I hadn't asked her to do, like vacuuming up kicked litter. My cats seem to enjoy spending time with her and both they and my apartment were in great shape when I got home.”
“Julia is absolutely amazing. Typically, my roommate watches Cleo, but she was away this week. I was hesitant to book with someone I didn’t personally know, but after meeting Julia I was confident she would take good care of my baby! I am very anxious every time I leave Cleo, but Julia eased a lot of my typical nerves. While I was gone, Julia sent me daily updates including details about her mood and appetite (which can vary especially when there’s change). One day, Julia noticed that Cleo hadn’t eaten that much. She notified me right away and even offered to come back and do an additional check-in that day. Of course, she was totally okay! Cleo seemed to warm up to her more and more everyday. When I got back, Julia came by to drop off the keys and Cleo ran to the door! I am really grateful I met Julia and am forever appreciative of the gentle love she gave my kitty. We both look forward to seeing her again🩷”
“Amy was incredibly sweet and took great care of my cat. My cat ran right up to Amy when they first met and immediately loved her. She followed all the instructions perfectly!”
About: I have 38 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and kittens. My experience includes caring for multiple animals during extended house stays, administering medications, bathing dogs and kittens, and providing attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs and personality. I’m also certified in Dog & Cat First Aid and CPR, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Before and after work visits. On days when I am not working my other job I am happy to visit mid day as well. Regular 30 min visits unless otherwise booked. Dogs will get outdoor time which will be on a case to case basis. My pets are spoiled. They get so many snuggles, lots of play time, they are papered with getting brushed and treats every night. Their litters are kept clean and I even have a cat that likes to hydrate in the shower multiple times a day.
“Thank you both so much for taking such good care of our kitty. I never once worried about her while we were gone; I knew she was receiving her insulin on time and all the food she needed. You went above and beyond dealing with her extra-litterbox activities.”
“Katie was amazing!!! My cat is very shy but instantly took to her. She took great photos and I felt so comfortable trusting my kitty with her for an extended stay. I will absolutely book with her again.”

Corrie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Boba and Ube! She was reliable, caring, and took great care of them while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciate her taking the time to care for our babies, and we would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Melissa is an absolute gem! She is so kind, communicative, and reliable. Most importantly, she was so sweet and caring with my cat. She’s incredibly thoughtful with her notes, pictures, and videos with each visit. I feel so grateful to have found a sitter like her and will definitely be reaching out to her again!
Caitlyn is highly recommended. When you meet her you will see she is a very caring and responsible person. Her calm demeanor helped my skittish cat gain trust quickly and Caitlyn’s communication was excellent. Thank you Caitlyn for helping me have a worry free weekend.
Megan was excellent. You can tell she loves cats. I don’t like leaving my babies but when I met her I knew she was a cat lover. I have never had anyone that I didn’t know take care of them before. I truly felt comfortable and all was well when we got home. I would highly recommend Megan.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lakeside is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 1,945 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 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 Lakeside. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
