“This was our second time using Darian’s services to watch our easily spooked cats. She communicates well, is good at finding elusive felines,is friendly, prompt, and takes lots of photos to give you some peace of mind. We will be using her again !”
“Corrie was fantastic! She took such great care of both of our cats but especially our 18 year old boy and sent updates everyday. They were so happy and relaxed when I got back home. Would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future!”
“Diego was absolutely WONDERFUL. Very professional, very friendly and my old cat was clearly very comfortable with him. I got lots of updates and photos and no worries at all about how my boy was doing.”
“Terri is wonderful! She took such great care of our kitty and house. She gave our needy boy extra attention and was flexible when we were in a bind. We definitely hope to book her again for our future travels!”
“Ashton was great with our kitty! She watched him for 7 days and did a great job playing with him and making him sure he had food, water, and clean litter. She was always on time and great at communication. I would definitely recommend!”
“Mary was great with Junie, my 4 month old kitten. She made sure to feed her twice a day, scoop her litter, and just play with her. I can tell Junie really enjoyed having her around (and as a bonus, was tired when I got home from my 5 hour car drive!!).”
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.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Melissa! She was so easy to communicate with, took wonderful care of our kitties, and sent detailed updates with lots of photos!”
“Super responsive and flexible. Took really great care of my cat when I was out of town for a week over the holidays. Will use again and would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all throughout high school and college! During college I’d walk and dog sit various breeds. I also love cats too :) My significant other and I work from home full time! We have a very flexible schedule and will be willing to work with you to care for your pet. I currently live in a house with a spacious fenced in backyard. When I’ve cared for pets at my house I’ll let them play in the backyard and or take them for a walk around our neighborhood lake.
“Ruth was amazing with my two cats! She was extremely communicative and reliable. I looked forward to the updates that she would send with pictures of both of them. The kitties loved her! I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Allison seemed to do a great job with our kitty. Her report cards gave us peace of mind on our vacation with good details and pictures, and she cleaned the litter box more than was necessary.”
“Jessica was great! Each day she sent nice photos and detailed reports of how our kitties were doing. She also spent time keeping them company and playing with them during the visits. I would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Lara is a great sitter! She has watched my cat Rosi several times. Rosi is picky with her humans, but enjoys Lara’s company. She is responsive and responsible and we would recommend her services to anyone!”
“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.”

Ashton was incredibly thorough and communicative. She came through for me last-minute and sent great pictures. I had to switch sitters and was nervous, but my concerns disappeared instantly when she came by for the meet and greet. I really appreciate the detailed notes after each visit. Will happily book Ashton again!
We are so thankful Corrie was able to check on our kitties while we were away! She took such good care of them, including giving our anxious boy his medication and giving him lots of play time. We appreciated the updates and photos - gave us lots of peace of mind while we were away! We will definitely be booking Corrie again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Corrie!
Katie was wonderful with my three cats! She is kind, calm, attentive, and incredibly detail-oriented. I felt completely at ease while I was away, and came home to three happy, relaxed, well-cared-for cats. I would absolutely hire Katie again. Thank you, Katie! ❤️🐾
Anna always goes above and beyond. From being able to accommodate last minute appointments to handling anything big or small that might unexpectedly happen with ease, she has provided amazing care for our cats over the years and I would highly recommend her to anyone. We appreciate her communication and regular updates she provides along the way as well!
Jessica is the best! She’s our first choice for a Rover whenever we leave town. She is very attentive, caring, and communicative. We have two cats and she always takes the time to move boxes and toys around the house to keep them stimulated while we’re gone. We’ll of course use her again.
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!

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.
