“Mauro and Diego made me feel comfortable leaving my pets for the first time in ages. My cats were taken care of and seemed happy and healthy as soon as I got home. 5 stars, would definitely book them again.”
“Jacquie was literally the best dog sitter we have ever had. She was so attentive, careful, and truly amazing. If she lived in Houston she would be our go-to sitter every single time. She takes this job very serious and it's so comforting as a dog mom! The girls absolutely loved her! 10000/10!!!🔥🥰❤️”
“Haley is helping us with our people nervous/shy pup and she is great! It is clear she understands dog body language and will meet the dog where they are at. Our pup, Finn, adjusted really well to Haley at our first meet n greet. Would highly recommend to anyone with a dog that needs a bit of extra care.”
“Melissa did a great job with all the things. Communication was on point and she provided updates with photos and information. Our babies loved her as well! Thank you Melissa!”
“Victoria was great! She tuckered Gunner out every time she dropped in. Easy communication, she followed instructions and provided photo updates with every visit! Looking forward to booking her again next time!”
“I’m so grateful for Megan. She was able to watch my pup with short notice. She was very kind and kept me up to date how my guy was doing. I could tell he was in great care with Megan. She let me know before she was leaving and I would love to work with her again! 11/10 stars!”
“Lara helps me out greatly by letting out my pup during my long shifts. She administered meds and filled her kong to keep her occupied. Kiwi enjoys her afternoon breaks!”

“Jessica was wonderful with my cats! She clearly loves animals and is a caring and dedicated sitter. My boy cat especially loved being able to still have playtime while I was traveling!”
“Jenna did a wonderful job and communication was great. She showed up when expected and put in some extra care to make sure our super shy cat was comfortable. Did not have to worry one bit while we were away on vacation. Very grateful for her help :)”
“Greg and Hilary are fantastic pet sitters! From the very first meeting, they were incredibly patient and kind — my 11-year-old wanted to give them the full rundown of instructions, and they listened attentively to every detail without rushing her at all. It clearly meant a lot to her that Greg and Hilary took it so seriously. They were flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process, and kept us updated with photos and check-ins while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Terri took great care of my two cats! She was very thoughtful about meeting them beforehand and sent thorough photos and descriptions from her visit!”
“Linda is amazing! She spends time with my pups exactly as they need - snuggles! She comes exactly when she indicates and makes sure the dogs get what they need! They are very excited to see her and give her kisses!”
“Samantha is amazing!!! Always takes such good care of Victor (my fur child). The days that she visits him he’s always happier when I get home. I always pictures and updates as well. Highly recommend Samantha!”
“Juliana was a great pet sitter for my cat Archie. She was very accommodating and I feel 100% comfortable having her taking care of my kitty. I would definitely recommend Juliana to anyone that wants to see their pet cared for.”
About: * Lifelong experience with dogs * Experience with puppies through senior dogs * Experience with small, medium, and large breeds * Have had my own dog for the past ~3 years * Live a very active lifestyle * Attentive and detail-oriented * Comfortable following individual routines and instructions * Experience helping care for other people’s dogs I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I know firsthand how helpful it can be to have someone reliable care for your pet when life gets busy, and I want to provide that same peace of mind to other pet parents. I genuinely love being around animals and am excited to meet some new furry friends and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away! I always make sure to follow each pet’s individual routine and the care instructions provided by their owner. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any specific needs or preferences. I love keeping dogs active and engaged, while also making sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I’m respectful of my client’s home and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for the entire 31 years of my existence and have vast experience caring for others' animals as well! I’ve been a pet sitter for many of my friends and family members, I worked professionally at doggie daycares for over 5 years and I most recently worked as a mental health therapist on an animal ranch with 41 "co-therapists". This includes my fluffy companion, Mokie, who became a certified therapy dog in September 2024. Because I’ve been an avid pet owner and worked closely in the animal field for my entire life, I am comfortable and experienced with all breeds, ages and medical issues. I can provide a knowledgeable, fun and exciting experience for your pets and I will have just as much (if not more) fun! I am so passionate about animals that I've curated a life specifically designed to spend as much time around them as possible, so getting the opportunity to meet and spend time with even more amazing pets would be incredible! I currently work adjustable hours Tuesday - Saturday and I have a great deal of flexibility to be able to check in throughout the day. I currently work full time Tuesday-Saturday. I have plenty of breaks throughout my days in order to facilitate potty breaks and frequent check-ins. I can accommodate my schedule to fit your pets' needs. I have a fenced yard, 2 friendly pups and 3 curious and dog friendly cats. I can easily crate your pup provided you bring their crate if desired. We allow our animals on our furniture but are happy to keep stronger boundaries if desired.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
First time booking Aubrey, and she delivered exactly as promised! She was friendly at our first meet-up, asked all the right questions, and followed through on every detail. The kitties were happy and relaxed when I returned, and the place was spotless—she even cleaned up a little throw-up! Thank you, Aubrey. Will definitely book again!
Brooke was wonderful! I would book her again in a heartbeat ♥️ She kept me posted and made it easier to be away from my girl. Brooke was dependable and there when she said she would be. This was important because my cat needs medication every 12 hours. She took great care in her job and even taught me a few things about my girl’s behavior when I am not there- valuable information!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeside on Rover is $20.71 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 6,920 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
