“It’s rare these days to come across people who do exactly what they say they’re gonna do. That is how I feel about Sherri. She was prompt, kind, and true to her word in sending pictures. I know my kitty cats were so grateful to have her visit. I didn’t have one concern while I was away, and that was exactly my goal. I will definitely be calling on Sherri again!! You will never regret asking Sherri to take care of your fur babies”
“We had back to back weekends away and Nicholas and Melissa did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We got great updates each visit and our crew did great. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlyn was great! She was so friendly. She took great care of Lincoln and i did not worry about him at all while we were gone. She did need to take her daughter to urgent care, and actually came early to take care of Lincoln before she went, which was above and beyond. I absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you very much Allison for taking care of our boys! They looked so happy, healthy, cared for and loved very much. We will definitely seek your assistance for future pet sittings.”
“Paris really is the best and always goes above and beyond! This is my 3rd or 4th time booking her to check in on my Cocoa, and she’s phenomenal! Flexible. Great communicator. Reliable. Excellent!”
About: My mom was a pet sitter when I was younger and I loved going with her to check on the animals. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own that I adore:) I also watch my close friends dogs and cats anytime she is out of town, her pets love me and she would highly recommend me. I am currently a stay at home mom available 7 days a week! The most ideal times for me would be after 11am, though I can make earlier times work tho if needed! I would have my baby with me when caring for your pets. I have a fenced in yard! I take my dog on walks occasionally during the week! If crating is needed I can accommodate to that as well.
“Thanks to Sylvia for rescuing my trip. I was scheduled with another sitter who had a family emergency and had to cancel. I reached out to Sylvia after reading her numerous, great reviews. She got back to me quickly and kindly agreed to take on my older kitty. She was great about communication and provided just what I and my cat needed. Will definitely call on Sylvia again to help with my creatures.”

“Thank you for checking in on Oscar! He was very well taken care of while I was gone. You did everything that we discussed and put my mind at ease. I really appreciated the notes and pictures of your visits.”
“Jaslyn was a terrific companion to my elderly cat, Matty. I'm elderly too, and it gave me so much comfort knowing he was in a caring and loving environment for the 12 days I was not able to care for him. Jaslyn sent regular updates on Matty including photos and that meant alot to me. She kept him fed, clean, entertained, healthy...and I really appreciate her! I'd recommend Jaslyn to anyone that loves their furry family member and needs to have care!”
“Cassandra was amazing with my frenchie! Very communicative, flexible, and sent photos of the pup which made me see he was in great hands. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays and open on weekends! Feel free to reach out and I can let you know my availability! I have a fully fenced back yard, and a pretty spacious home. I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.
About: I absolutely adore every breed and personality! I have a special place in my heart for brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers. With my veterinary technician background, I’m very familiar with their unique needs, including breathing concerns, heat sensitivity, skin care, and medication management. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior who needs a little extra TLC, or has medical needs requiring medications or special monitoring, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a wife, proud mama to my baby girl, and pet mom to 10 cats and 5 dogs, caring for others is simply who I am. My days are full, but they revolve around the things I love most—family and animals. Pet sitting isn’t just a side job for me; it’s an extension of my everyday life. With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I’m used to managing feeding schedules, medications, special needs, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Caring for multiple pets every day has taught me how to stay organized, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and routine. When you trust me with your pets, you’re trusting someone who truly understands that they are family. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll care for your furry family with the same love, patience, and dedication that I give my own every single day. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced-in backyard where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and fresh air in a secure environment. My home is truly animal-friendly. My cats and dogs are all used to being around other animals and have friendly personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I am fully able to separate my animals from visiting pets when needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
“Sidnee was amazing with my Daisi girl. My cat can take time to warm up to people and Sidnee was patient and not pushy. Daisi warmed up to her in no time. I have found my pet sitter for the future. Thank you so much!”

Rachel is so amazing and attentive for our cats and birds! She truly treats them like her own and goes the extra mile to be sure their needs are taken care of, AND commincates so well. I don't know what we'd do without her but she's been a complete angel for our family and all of our pet sitting needs, which can be a bit much. We can't ever thank her or recommend her enough!!
I have two now older and high maintenance pets and Shalik was fantastic with them! I came home to healthy, happy pets and no messes! The cat likes to express his displeasure in a variety of ways usually. His coat was like silk, so he had clearly been brushed and our dog was calm and content. Shalik was just wonderful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeside on Rover is $18.87 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 1,205 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:
- 95% 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.
