“Nick and Melissa took such good care of our 2 dogs Cash and Xena. We will definitely use them again in the future for any vacations. They even brought them a holiday treat which was so nice of them while we were gone for Christmas with family. They eased my mind and I was able to enjoy being away. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Sarah was great with Moose. He has a great time with her and my mind was at ease while we were gone! She went above and beyond to make sure his needs were met and I really appreciated the little extra things she did without being asked (like washing his water bowl!). I could tell she really takes pride in how she cares for her clients. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after their dogs!”
“Haylie came in clutch as a last minute sitter for my dogs. She was on time every day and stayed with them the full hour (I only needed a mid-day potty and play break for my dogs). She sent me pictures of my pups and let me know how they were doing. I would book Haylie again.”
“Sylvia was amazing as always. She goes above and beyond. I had a leak from my refrigerator which she discovered when she came to do a visit. She enlisted the help of her husband who helped clean up the water and turned off the water to the refrigerator. She advised me what was going on via email but had already handled it by the time I read the messages. You are so appreciated Sylvia.”
“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”
“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!”
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.
“Did a wonderful job with our cats! They're all happy and healthy, and the check-in pics sent were adorable. I think the girls will miss them lol. very professional, would book again!”
“I had a pleasant first meeting with Danielle. She took my service dog Sasha for a first walk in my neighborhood, and I got to watch part of the walk in action. She handled my dog very well. The fact that my dog is attached to me because of service work, Did not rattle her at all. Also, Danielle came prepared with items that may have been needed on the walk in a backpack. I had confidence as I took notice of her handling my German Shepherd and was very happy with her demeanor around my dog.”
“If you have cats (and I'm sure it applies to dogs), I don't know that you'll find a better pet sitter than Allison. I have had multiple cat sitters over the years and no one comes close. Allison came by beforehand and took nearly an hour just to get to know the cats and their habits, likes, dislikes, routine, etc. Allison was incredibly communicative before, during, and after her visits. She sent lots of pictures and kept me in the loop on what was going on. She is one of the few sitters that has sent me pictures of the cats not just hiding or under the bed. She actually got the cats to come out and sit with her - which is something I don't think a lot of other cat sitters even bother to do. It was wonderful being able to travel without worrying about the cats and knowing they were in good hands. I cannot recommend Allison enough. She's a great choice for pet parents and pets. 20/10 and would urge people to use her not just for their own sanity, but for their cats.”
About: I have experience with all types of animals from small to large! I don’t remember a time in my life where we did not own and care for animals! I have cared for horses, goats, chickens, rodents, cats, and dogs. I have experience with animals with specials needs as I have a dog that has seizures, a diabetic cat, and a rescue who is very timid with humans; so I have a lot of understanding and patience with all animals. I can administer insulin and give oral medication to both dogs and cats if required. I am open to meeting you and your pet ahead of any care so that you can meet me and feel comfortable with me watching your beloved pets! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I currently work part time on the week days usually only 2-3 days a week and only between the hours of 8-5. My days rotate every other week In your home I can do any routine with your pet that you normally do. Scheduling feeding times, potty breaks, play time in the yard, medications, or anything else they may require. In my home I do have two dogs who love every dog they meet, and a cat who keeps to himself most of the time but does fine with other pets. They have all been around plenty of other animals. We do have a very well fenced back yard. Unfortunately at the moment I will probably not be taking in our home care as we our doing renovations so our house is a bit of a mess for guests.
“Jaslyn is amazing! I wish I had found her sooner. She was great with our fur baby. Shared lots of pics of her, let her swim, played ball outside. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Meagan came over and took care of my pups when I had some work to do. She did an excellent job with playing/taking care of them and the pups seemed to really like her. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing their dogs watched, walked, played with, etc. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Kevin was very respectful, timely and exceeded expectations. I will definitely look for him on Rover the next time I need help with Kaiya. Thank you, Kevin and thank you Rover for connecting me with him!”
About: Hi! I am Shawna. I’m a five star Rover sitter with 32 verified reviews, now offering drop in visits and dog walking. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I grew up with cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. While I no longer provide boarding or doggy daycare in my home, I’d love to help make your day a little easier by caring for your pet in the place they’re most comfortable-their own home. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, fresh food, and water, or just someone to throw a ball and give them some attention, I’m happy to help. For cats, I’m just as happy to refresh litter boxes, feed them, play with them, or simply sit with them if they’re the quiet type who enjoys company. As a stay-at-home mom, reliability and kindness are important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and to feel confident knowing they were well cared for while you were away. I’ll always treat your pets with patience, love, and respect and I’ll send photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. (My favorite part about being a Rover sitter!) I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Please message me with any questions you may have. I’m currently at home with my 2 kiddos and since it is summertime my availability is pretty open! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I enjoy getting out for walks and spending time with animals throughout the week. I’m happy to provide dependable loving care while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I focus on keeping the routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter, box, care, playtime, and any special needs or medications. During each visit, I’ll also check that everything is in good order in your home and send updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel cared for, calm, and loved until you return.

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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,167 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:
- 94% 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.
