About: Choose me as your dog sitter for 23 years’ experience, EMT training, CPR certification, and true animal devotion, providing safe, dependable, loving care every single time. As a self-employed worker, I set my own hours, giving me the flexibility to provide pets consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and night. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, monitoring their behavior, and keeping spaces clean. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent communication, and a calm, comfortable environment.
About: Ever since I was little i’ve always loved having animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles and fish so I can do a range of services. I want to ensure people get the dedicated care when they’re away that I would want for my own animals! I’ve dealt with many breeds of dogs and cats that range of all ages! I mainly specialize in drop-in services and dog walking! Most of the time I have open availability so i have plenty of time to care for your fur baby while you’re away on vacation, work, or just going out! Whenever taking care of any animal I make sure to treat every client and their home with the proper care i would want for my own!
“Jaime did a great job with our dog and cat, especially our dog who is very scared of strangers. Jaime clearly has lots of experience with dogs and knew just what to do to make Georgia feel comfortable. We'd definitely book him again for future trips.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Sofia! She was amazing with our dogs, who absolutely adored her from the start. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Sofia kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I have worked in a well renowned and amazing shelter & animal rescue (no kill shelter) for 5 years. I’ve got plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve also got certifications in fear free animal training, along with helping train many dogs for Leader dogs for the blind. I’m recently moved to the area, and currently working part time. So I have a lot of extra free time, my time is very flexible. I consider animals family, so taking care of them properly how their family ask is very important in my eyes. So taking care of them will be followed directly as stated. 😊
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeside on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of June 2026, there are 66 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
