“Sydney has been absolutely wonderful with Rambo so far! 🐾❤️ She is very kind, dependable, communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. She always keeps us updated during her visits, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away at work. Rambo seems very comfortable with her, and knowing he gets some extra love, attention, and company during the day means so much to us. We’re so happy we found Sydney and are looking forward to continuing to have her care for Rambo! Highly recommend her! 🥰🐶”

About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”

About: Hi! I'm Elle and I am a "pet-deprived" student at who recently graduated from UWEC. I did Rover a bunch while in Eau Claire and absolutely loved it. I have a special soft spot for labs, goldens, and vizelas but will love all breeds and sizes. Right now I’m mostly looking for dog walking and house sitting, but may be able to be flexible if needed. I would love to love your dog! As a 4th year student, I have a fairly limited on-campus class schedule. I am not gone more than two hours at a time each day for classes. If for some reason I am unable to get home within a two-hour block, either of my roommates would be happy to provide care and let them out if needed. I would love to take walks around campus with your pet or stay in your home as well! I have a few classes online and would be happy to work out of your home with your pet cuddled up with me. I adore walks around the UWEC campus area and surrounding neighborhoods, so having your pet with me would make them even better! I prefer caring for your pet in your home so that they feel more comfortable, but I am willing and able to care for them in my home if needed. I am very organized and responsible with feeding and medicine schedules if that is what your pet requires.

About: I have been in the pet care industry since my first dog when I was 6, our family dog Skeeter was my best friend. Growing up I got my own dog in college my 3 year old black lab Otis who is as outgoing and loving as I am. I just recently brought a new wild one into. My home, my sweet German Shepherd Kiya! I currently work in a vet clinic and have worked in boarding/day care facilities. I own a home close to a big park and we love to walk there 2 times a day if not more and we love the outdoors. I work full time, I have half days every other Tuesday. Off every Wednesday. Half day every other Saturday. And I’m off on Sundays! I do have three sizes of crates if needed, however my dogs are now free roam and use their crates as safe spaces or nap time spots. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, it wouldn’t be called FURniture if they weren’t! However I do understand some parents may prefer their pets not on the bed or couch and I can continue that! I believe in structure for my dogs and will continue to follow your structure and “rules” you have set for your babies!

About: Hi, I'm Kayla!! I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, and I treat every single guest dog like a member of my own family. I live right here in Rosemount, providing a safe, attentive, and incredibly fun environment for your pup while you are away. Whether they love to sprint across the yard, go on long neighborhood walks, or just curl up on the couch for belly rubs, your dog will get the exact personalized care they need to feel right at home. I am extremely detailed when it comes to following your exact feeding schedules, bathroom routines, and crate preferences. I also have hands-on experience handling [ puppies under 1 year / senior dogs / administering oral medications ], so you can travel with absolute peace of mind. I know how tough it can be to leave your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication. You can expect frequent photo and video updates throughout their stay so you can see exactly how much fun they are having! I would love to meet you and your pup—reach out today to schedule a Meet & Greet! 🐾 How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine 🐾 Because I manage my schedule carefully, your pets will receive consistent, predictable, and highly attentive care right on time. My weekly routine is designed to seamlessly accommodate the unique needs of both dogs and cats without rushing: • Morning Blocks (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM): I start my day by welcoming any Doggy Daycare guests and running my first round of morning cat drop-in visits. Pups get immediate outdoor bathroom breaks, fresh water, and breakfast according to your exact instructions. For kitties, I handle morning feedings, refresh water bowls, and scoop litters so they start their day fresh. • Mid-Day Breaks (11:00 AM – 2:00 PM): This is my peak window for active dog walking and mid-day drop-in visits. If your dog is staying with me for daycare or boarding, this is our dedicated backyard playtime block. If I am visiting your pet at your home, I arrive during these hours to break up their day with a solid 30-minute neighborhood walk, potty break, and lots of affection. • Evening Blocks (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM): This is wrap-up time! Daycare pups are picked up by their owners, and I conduct my second round of evening cat check-ins for dinner feedings. Boarding guests get their evening meals, followed by a wind-down routine of couch cuddles and a final yard let-out before bedtime. To keep your routine stress-free while you are away, I send a comprehensive daily update between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM featuring 3 to 4 high-quality photos and videos. This ensures you know exactly how much fun your pet is having without having to check your phone constantly! 🔒 Safety & Care Standards First Whether your pet is staying at my home or I am visiting yours, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a completely secure environment with strict supervision, separate feeding stations, and dedicated spaces for rest. If your pup is a runner, rest assured that doors and gates remain locked at all times. In your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect. I follow all security, key, and alarm protocols perfectly, ensuring your home is locked up tight after every visit. For cat drop-ins, litter boxes are scooped daily, and food areas are kept tidy. For dogs, walks are tracked securely via the app so you can see exactly where we traveled!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lakeville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lakeville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,620 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakeville. 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeville. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
