About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!

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! 🥰🐶

Magen did a pretty last minute drop in visit for our chocolate lab. We booked her so he could get a little play, food and time out of his kennel for a long day. We did this cause we knew how much he loves Magen!

We had a wonderful experience! They took such great care of our elderly (and sometimes grumpy!) Chihuahua while we were on vacation. Communication was excellent, and they were so patient and understanding of our dog's unique needs and personality. It was obvious they genuinely love animals, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. We're incredibly grateful and would happily book with them again!

Lauren was wonderful! She accepted the challenge of the diabetic cat that needs insulin shots 2x a day. I have 3 cats that she took wonderful care of. I also received updates and pictures every time she visited. Even though I was on vacation getting updates made me happy. I will definitely be hiring Lauren again when I need a cat sitter.

Amy was such a life saver. I felt so comfortable since my pets were in their own home and she was able to drop in and take care them. Traveling is sometimes stressful and I was able to enjoy my time knowing the pets were safe and well taken care of. The pictures she sent of the pets while taking care of them were the highlight of each day while was away. Thanks, Amy!

Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)

About: I have had a passion for caring for animals since I was 12, when I started volunteering at my local nature center to care for the reptile habitats. Since that first job, I spent much of high school and college pet sitting and owning a variety of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, fish, and birds. I have experience caring for old and young animals, a variety of breeds, and administering medications. Whatever your needs may be, you deserve to have peace of mine while away from home. My pet sitting style is “there is no such thing as too much information!”. Before any visit, I will come meet you and your pet to help your pet recognize me, give us the opportunity to get to know each other, and discuss any details pertinent to your request. Throughout the visit, you can anticipate a plethora of pictures and videos of your pet, detailed updates on how your pet is doing, how their appetite is, how their bathroom habits are, and anything cute they've done in the stay! Reach out to me for your pet sitting needs, and enjoy security that your pet is in kind, competent, and caring hands. My schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a full-time job where I work from home, which allows me to be available anywhere I can bring my laptop and connect to wifi! Whether your needs are for day time visits, evening visits, overnight stays, or a combination of days and times, I am incredibly flexible to be where you need me when you need me. I will always treat your pets as though they are my own. I am committed to giving your pet the same standard of care that you would give them yourself. If there is a special request you have for your pet then by all means, ask! I understand firsthand how important those special routines are to our pets. If your dog needs someone to lay on the floor next to them while they eat, then I will make sure I am not wearing white so I can get down there.

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.

Angela did a great job of taking care of our senior cat. She also went above and beyond by taking care of little things for us like watering the flowers and gathering mail. She kept us up to date by giving us daily pictures and feedback. We will definitely recommend Angela to anyone and be a repeat customer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeville on Rover is $27.75 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 2,611 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 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 Lakeville. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
