About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially willing to put in the extra time and care senior pets may need, whether that’s moving at a slower pace, providing extra comfort, or paying close attention to their routines. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a student, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am completely free every weekday after 1:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, and evening playtimes. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, my classes finish even earlier, so I am available starting at 11:00 AM. My weekends are 100% open for boarding or house sitting. Because I'm home studying often, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and potty breaks they need. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping them comfortable and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they’re used to. I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and secure, always double-checking doors and gates. I make it a point to give each pet plenty of love, attention, and interaction so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. I also communicate frequently and can send daily photo updates, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“This is the 3rd or 4th time having Angela do drop in visits with my 2 dogs. She is freakin great. My dogs love her. Finally got to meet her prior to this visit and she is very nice, responsive and reliable. Hire her!”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren, As the Pet Whisperer I would be thrilled to provide the Ultimate TLC for your fur baby :) ** My signature 5-star service on Rover is House Sitting ** since 2018 as I have resided in Los Angeles/OC, New York City, and Bay Area. I have also provided 100+ walks and drop-in visits on Wag and am available for those services on Rover as well. What You Can Expect: (T) Tender / Trustworthy: Above all, I believe Communication is Key for all of my pet family clients, and I make sure you are kept up to date with messages and pictures as often as requested while being responsive to any questions or concerns you may have - from prior to booking and throughout the stay. (L) Loving / Listener: I am adaptive to your pet's personality and temperament, attentive to whatever their heart desires (to an extent :P) while maintaining boundaries, rules, and expectations per your instructions on their routine, diet, training, and any special needs as their paw parent. (C) Care / Consistency: I have had the pleasure of working with over 80 satisfied clients (18 repeat clients) for pet care, and I provide only the utmost quality of services. My repeat fur families become very much like my own fur fam, and I would be honored to join yours :) Background: Since the early days of caring for my beloved family pupper of 9 years Maltipoo Andy (may He Rest in Peace), caring for dogs and cats alike as a grad student on Wag and Rover since 2018, and now being the proud auntie of four fur nieces + nephew (Ragdoll kween Kanani, Russian Blue muffin Hanya plus bb Tabbies Annie and Taruken - all rescues now in their furever homes) - I treat my clients' pets with the same love, care, and respect as if they were my own while remaining mindful of any specific needs and taking the time to learn about their unique personalities. Summary: Essentially, I am open to accommodating as much as able, as I understand every family's situation and needs are different. Most of all, it is my top priority that you feel assured about the care your fur baby is going to receive, especially in the comfort of your/their own home. That is my Pet Whisperer Promise to you, and please do let me know if you still have any questions. I look forward to connecting with you and your fur family further - ready to provide them all the TLC they deserve <3 Scheduling: I am available for weekday, weekend, and extended stays. Please feel free to discuss additional times with me, and I can confirm my availability. I ensure that attention and care is provided to my clients' pets by giving them space to first become familiar with me in their home and allowing them to freely approach me when comfortable - Meet and Greets are very helpful for this in addition to reviewing their routine, location of supplies, house rules/keeping etc. For house sittings in particular, I maintain cleanliness and respect my clients' homes (e.g. 5-star Airbnb guest), leaving them exactly how I entered while being attentive to any household maintenance needs (with additional surcharges, ranging per level of need e.g. cleaning, mail/packages, plant care).
“Lindsay was super responsive and so sweet to our pups! She helped us out last minute when our previous dog sitter moved unexpextedly. She sent great photos and our dogs looked happy to see her. She even brought our mail in the house! We had a great trip and didn't have to worry about our furry friends. We will definitely book her for our next trip. :)”
About: I’ve had 2 bunnies and currently a 4 year old shitzu. I’ve also taken care of my family’s dogs in Nicaragua. From a Great Dane, Husky, Coker Spaniel, and random mixes. I’ll always treat any animal with kindness and respect I’m currently not working for the summer so I’m free almost all the time. I’m going to school from Monday-Thursday in the fall but I will update then. I will take care of your pets and your house to the upmost standard. I will bring my a game to match your pets energy while also making sure they’re good.
About: I grew up and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve been cat sitting for friends for years. I love all animals but have the most experience with cats and dogs. I have open availability and here to help. I have open availability at the moment. So even if it’s last minute I can help. I am reliable and as long as I’m not booked up I’m willing to help. I will care for the pets in their client’s home. I think it’s best for the pet to stay in their environment and to have familiarity. Especially when first being introduced to someone new.
“Marby was wonderful. She took extra special care of our cats, one of which had a wounded paw and needed extra attention. She kept in touch with us every day and left the house clean, floors vacuumed and trash emptied. Truly a great house/pet sitter. Could not recommend enough and will hire her again.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and a cute dog for 16 years. I’ve also house-sit/baby-sit dogs, cats and chickens for family and friends. Happy I’m currently going to school full time so this would be perfect for me to do as a part time job and I’m able to work around my schedule. I understand the precautions to keep any dog or pet safe. If there’s anything that you’re worried just let me know and I’ll be more careful with whatever it is!
“Michelle was amazing! She sent daily updates of our kitty and took the time to cuddle with her while we were away- we’ll definitely think of Michelle next time we need a sitter!!”
“Savannah is fantastic, easy to communicate with and great with our cats. This past visit she notice a potential health issue with our youngest and made us aware. Due to this we avoided a potential medical issue! I cannot recommend enough.”
About: Hello! Hello!! My name is Kaylee Lawson looking for something to do on the side and would be happy to take off an extra load out of your day and hang out with your petties. I have lifelong experience with pets and will try my best and treat your pets as my own! I’m open and free anytime! I’m always around animals whether working or not. I am in a family of four with two german shepherds and a Siamese cat. I’m quite familiar with pet care as I have always done it my whole life. Throughout the week I always take my dogs on walks!
“This was our first time using Rover and meeting Stefanie. Our kitties who are normally shy with other people took a liking to her really quickly. Stefanie was really thorough in making sure that she had all the information she would need while we were gone, and it was clear from her daily Rover Cards and communication that she really cared about taking great care of our kitties. We will definitely look for Stefanie the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up with three beloved dogs: Miley, a 120-pound Labrador; Scruffy, a rescued terrier mix; and Teddy, a feisty Shih Tzu. While they’ve since passed, my passion for animals continues. I regularly volunteer at shelters and have experience caring for family pets while their owners are away. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule and ample free time, I can accommodate nearly any pet care needs. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals set me apart from other sitters. As a full-time local college student, I usually have just one class a day, leaving me plenty of time for pet care. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means early mornings or late nights. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all provided instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication needs if needed. I keep the environment clean, secure, and free from hazards to ensure your pet feels safe and at ease. I also prioritize building trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive, helping them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Regular updates with photos and messages let you know your furry friend is well cared for while you’re away!
“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.”
About: I’ve been doing pet sitting for over 3 years & have experience in all types of animals & am familiar with giving medication if needed. My main goal is to always ensure that your pet is cared for 100% and that you come back to a clean environment. Will also bring in/take out trash, water plants & bring in mail. I currently work part time so this leaves me with time to spend caring for animals. I am currently available for morning visits from 8am -10am Afternoons 12-3pm Pm 4-7pm Can also do overnight visits on weekends if needed. When I am caring for an animal at a clinics home I always make sure to ask for any information or their routine with their pup. Not only to ensure that I am doing everything right & that needs to be done for your pup but to keep your pup in their routine. This will allow me to get familiar with the feeding, walking, etc. Safety of your pup and your home is my top priority & I ensure this by always making sure to close all doors/windows in your home & set alarm if needed
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. Big dogs, small dogs, playful dogs, and shy dogs. Whether your dog prefers to run around or take a leisurely stroll, I am willing to accommodate. I have no issues administering medication if necessary! I’m a full-time worker at the hospital and a part-time student, but my mornings are free most weekdays! If you need a weekend as well, I’m sure I would be able to accommodate given ample notice. I have a friendly dog and cat in my house and a fenced yard to make sure your pet is in a safe environment. I have no issues placing pets into crates if necessary.
“I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!”

Bronte took a last-minute booking to look after our cat Pacho, which we really appreciated. She had no issues handling his picky eating and daily routine. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to other pet parents!
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!
Andrea was very kind to take my request with very short notice. As soon as she agreed, she asked me how she could take care of for my babies. She was informative and sent pictures of my babies. And the last visit that I canceled, she was kind enough to tell me I would not get charged, since I came back from my vacation earlier than I planned. Overall, she did great and made sure my babies were taken care of. I would totally book again next time I take a vacation, if she’s available.
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 for Cat Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,400 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 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 Lakewood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
