“As a first-time Rover user, I can honestly say that Stefanie put all my concerns at ease. She was very good at communicating and making sure she had all the information necessary. My shy furbaby took an immediate liking to her during our meet-and-greet. During her 30-minute visits, I received thorough updates, as well as pictures to reassure me everything was ok. When I returned from my trip, kitty was as chipper as ever. Without a doubt, I would trust Stefanie to look after my cat the next time I am out of town. I absolutely recommend Stefanie to anyone in need of a petsitter.”
“Daizy was amazing with my girls! My cats are very snuggly and like a lot of attention and her photos with them gave me peace of mind while away. One of my babies can be aggressive with her love and reading how she has spicy cat experience was a relief. Knowing that they had a friendly person to check on them and hang out with them was exactly what I needed in a sitter. Thank you so much and I will be booking again the next time I travel!”
“Very attentive to the needs of our cats. Notice a small problem and took care of it and notified us of what was happening. Jack is very friendly and sent pictures of our cats when he could take them.”
“Raymond went above and beyond to take care of our 2 cats. He did extra things like cleaning their food bowls and sweeping stray litter that the cats tracked throughout the house. We will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I have my own pets and have been taking care of family friends pets for about a year now. I love their company and enjoy exploring and going on walks. I’m confident that I can take good care of your pets by feeding them, walking them, and having a lot of fun with them. I’m currently working a full-time job at a dealership in Buena Park, so evenings work best for me to stay busy after work. The time I leave work is at 4:30. My off days are Tuesdays and Sundays and will be free all day on those both days. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out, i look forward to taking care of your pets ☺️ If you will be comfortable with me taking your fur baby’s into my house, I have two friendly cats and a safe space in my house. It’s very organized and clean, and no objects where your pets can get hurt.
“Christian is an excellent Rover! She has watched our cat twice now and he has had a great experience both times. We greatly appreciate the number of pictures and detailed reviews she provides us and highly recommend her to other.”
“Riley is awesome! She took great care of our pet and posted cute pics and videos. We enjoyed our vacation without worrying about our pet. Thanks to Riley. We would love to always get her for cat sitting our cat!”
“I would be asking her again when I need help. She was wonderful. I had many requests during a one hour visit and she did everything! My baby also seemed she had a good time with her. Thank you!”
“Jessica was so flexible with our schedule and was so helpful. She sent so many pictures of our kitty’s and gave us peace of mind while we were gone! Thank you Jessica😁”
About: I adopted a dog when I was 8, a pomeranian, took care of it and raised it since he was 1 month old. Now I don't have access to him since we moved out, someone else adopted him because we didn't have the ability to keep him. Them adopted other two puppies, huskies, the same story happened as we tend to move a lot. 1 year ago I adopted a frenchie and currently raising it, on a healthy 24 pounds and very active and energic, trying to work on his hyperactivity so I won't be able to take him with me if requested. I'm a Uber driver, so I would always be able to attend any reservations outside of this times: ●Monday to Friday 11:30am - 2:30 pm, 5:30pm - 6:30 pm. ●Weekends negotiable, standard would be 11 am to 3 pm. I feed mine twice a day, depending on activity of the day I might rise the amount he eats just a little to make up for it. Then daily training of 10- 30 minutes with split treats to not over feed.
“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”
About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.
“Shea is fantastic! Very communicative and friendly. Followed all instructions and ensured my little guy was taken care of while I was out of town, allowing me to feel like my kitty was getting the same affection and care that I would give him. Highly recommended!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 5 years. I love walking dogs and playing with the animals when house sitting. I always ask what the owners want and follow their instructions. For house sitting can come multiple times a day. Bringing good energy and ready for a walk or play time. I work part time but can come any time on Monday, Tuesday, and can do walks Wednesday through Sunday before 3:40 pm. I am always on the go and love going on beach walks or just walking around the neighbor hoods. For house sitting I can check on the animals through the day and after work can spend the night or do a night check. I take care of our neighbor dog and two cats when she is off traveling. Usually come in the morning and feed animals and play with them. Then I take the dog for a beach walk or we go on a jog in the neighbor hood. Then I come back around lunch and get all the zoomies out check on them and play with them. Then I go before work and after work to let them out and check on them. Before work we usually go on a 20 minute walk just to get them outside. The cats usually follow us on the second walk.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lakewood is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
I very much appreciate having Anika as my pet sitter. She is extremely easy to work with. My cat has special needs, he’s a senior cat and needs different types of meds and supplements. Anika is eager to help me with him to keep him as healthy as possible. I really appreciate her help.
Marby watched visited our home to check in on our cats every couple of days while we went on vacation. She did so great, was very communicative, sent us tons of photos, and spent some time playing with them each day. It was such a huge comfort to our travel knowing that everything was taken care of.
Samantha was great taking care of our two cats. She was prompt to respond and provided daily updates on their care. Of note, one of our cats is very fearful of new people and will hide under the bed until they leave. Samantha was able to get our cat to come to her. Every time she visited this was very comforting to us because we worry about our cat never coming out from under the bed, we will certainly book her again!
Bronte was wonderful. She made 2 visits a day to check in on my two cats for 3 weeks when I was away. She was always on time, communicative, thoroughly dependable, professional, and great with the cats. There were a few other small unexpected issues that arose with house related stuff - entirely unrelated to the pets - that she graciously took care of for me in my absence. Highly recommended and I'd gladly request her services again!
We first used Dolores's services a couple of years ago, but unfortunately, we missed the window to leave a review on Rover. We really regretted that because she absolutely deserved a wonderful five-star review even back then! So my husband and I were truly happy to have the opportunity to entrust our three cats to her care again. This is especially important to us because our cats are quite sensitive to stress, and their comfort and peace of mind mean everything to us. We were so happy to see that they remembered Dolores, weren't afraid of her, and felt comfortable around her. In fact, their bond with her seemed even stronger and more affectionate this time! Our situation is a little unusual, as one of our three cats has special needs and lives separately from the other two. This means caring for our cats requires extra attention and an individual approach. Dolores is extremely conscientious, responsible, and attentive in everything she does. But what means just as much to us is that she doesn't simply take care of the basic tasks — she genuinely spends time with each of our fur babies, respecting their different personalities and habits. It's clear that she truly enjoys being around them, and they respond to her with trust and affection. While we were away, Dolores sent us photos of our cats, shared sweet little stories about her interactions with them, and responded to our messages. This helped us not only know that our cats were doing well, but also see how comfortable and happy they were in her company. It meant so much to us, especially since we missed our fur babies terribly! When you have to leave your beloved pets for several weeks, knowing they're in the hands of someone you can truly trust is incredibly important. We feel very fortunate to have found Dolores, and we're sincerely grateful for all the kindness, care, and attention she's given our cats! We wholeheartedly recommend Dolores to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter! ❤️
Meghan stepped in at the last minute to care for our cat when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. We were on the East Coast when a Rover employee called & said that our sitter was hospitalized & that they were looking for an emergency replacement. We had a few options, but Meghan was the most responsive and had great reviews. We hadn't even met her, but we truly got lucky that she volunteered to step in. We look forward to meeting her in person the next time that we book through Rover, because we will definitely try to book her the next time we travel.
OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
I wanted to tip more but the app limited me? Brionna did a great job and she really helped out by picking up a few more days when I was stuck in Barbados airport with all flights canceled for 3days! Crazy East Coast weather! I recommend using her services as she is professional and thorough. Thank you Brionna!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lakewood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 2,788 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakewood. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
