“Jennah did a fantastic job caring for my babies while I was away. She was communicative, attentive, and loving to my animals. I greatly appreciated everything that she did and would definitely hire her again when the need arises.”
“Holly is a ray of sunshine and my cat who is very skittish came right up to her and befriended her. She was very accomodating to come the day before on short notice to show her the ropes and how to get into a difficult to find apartment. Meeting her and speaking with her, truly made my day and turned around a very challenging week. Definitely will be booking her again.”
“Haley is helping us with our people nervous/shy pup and she is great! It is clear she understands dog body language and will meet the dog where they are at. Our pup, Finn, adjusted really well to Haley at our first meet n greet. Would highly recommend to anyone with a dog that needs a bit of extra care.”
“Marissa is amazing! She went above and beyond for drop in visits, and she is soooo sweet and nice with our shy cats, kept us posted for all situations, it made our trip so much better since we were not worried about the cats! Thank you Marissa!!”
“Courtney was able to drop-in on my kitties on short notice. She stopped by in advance to meet them and learn their routine. She sent me daily updates and pics, and my home was in good order when I returned. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin was so easy to coordinate with and took such good care of my doggie! Followed instructions perfectly and send great photos. 10/10 would use again :)”
“Sara communicated super well and sent me a lot of photos when she stopped in to check on my pups. It was a huge stress relief knowing they were being taken care of. Thank you!”
“Sarah was outstanding! We have three pups and she was able to handle them all with ease! From taking care of all the routine tasks for the pups to providing some comfort during unexpected fireworks in the neighborhood it was a relief to have someone like Sarah providing care. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be circling back when we need care in the future!”
“Glory was a life-saver! I had last-minute long workdays, so I needed to find someone to come and hang with my dog who has a touch of separation anxiety. From Glory’s communication and pictures, I could tell that Huck warmed right up to her! And usually it takes him a little time to embrace new people. He was so excited to see her when she came over for their midday walk. Glory is reliable, communicative, and, of course, very good with animals! She will definitely be my go-to if I ever need help with Huck again.”
“This was our second time booking with Lauren and once again she was wonderful with our two cats. She’s reliable, communicative & so caring. We loved her updates and came home to two happy pets! Thanks again!”
About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!
“Cal is amazing! I have a very shy kitty and Cal was so helpful while I was on vacation to find her when she hid extremely well. Cal did a great job with all aspects of caring for my cats and I feel so grateful. Thank you!!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond caring for our cat. Not only did she reliably show up to provide our cat with the basic care but when we had an unexpected house security concern, she showed up to make sure everything was okay. Choose Alyssa for any house visits where you need someone responsive, caring, and professional!”
About: I LOVE dogs!! I've grown up with two dogs and they got me through my adolescent years which is no easy feat. I now have two dogs of my own and we spend lots of time at the dog park getting to know many different types of dogs and learning how each breed interacts. I am an extremely responsible person who is prompt and compassionate. I would love the opportunity to take care of, walk or just check in on your dog/dogs! I'm home most of the day so I have lots of free time to spend with your dog. I also am happy to run with your dog or take them to the park if they need a little extra exercise. I'm here for whatever you need and can't wait to get started! I currently have a part-time job a few days a week so the rest of the time I am free to spend with your dog! I am available through the day and nights as well. I have a very dog friendly home and 2 sweet dogs who love to play and make friends. They will definitely tire your dog out with lots of safe play and we love to play fetch!
About: Hi pet owners! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with many dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Now I'm a proud cat mom to two amazing cats and would love to look after your kitties as well. From energetic puppies/kittens to senior animals, I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm a graduate student with flexible hours throughout the week to care for your babies. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm, reliable companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m available for overnight stays on the weekends, and drop in visits or walks on weekdays after class or anytime on weekends. I’m currently a graduate student, so that leaves me with flexible time to care for your animal while you’re at work or occupied during the day or night! I like to do either an in-person or virtual meet and greet beforehand to make sure I'm a good fit as your pet sitter. Beyond that, I pay very great attention to the animals while I’m taking care of them and make sure to follow all requests made by the owner. I'm happy to accommodate odd requests for pet care since I know some fur babies have their own quirky routine! I'm willing to do house sitting requests while you're away as well.
“Camryn was great! I had a long work day and Camryn agreed to do a meet and greet on a relatively short notice, and played with my puppy for about an hour while I was away. She sent me a picture too. I’d definitely hire her again!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lakewood is $22

Melina was amazing and super helpful during our long weekend trip out of town to watch our two kitties. Very thorough, super nice, compassionate, and thoughtful with both of them. Thank you so much again for watching our fur babies. Will rebook in the future when we have another trip. 5 stars!
First time booking Aubrey, and she delivered exactly as promised! She was friendly at our first meet-up, asked all the right questions, and followed through on every detail. The kitties were happy and relaxed when I returned, and the place was spotless—she even cleaned up a little throw-up! Thank you, Aubrey. Will definitely book again!
Kathleen is truly amazing. Our family was out of town for 10 days. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and 1 of our dogs is a special needs dog. Not once did I worry about them because they were in great hands. I loved the photos she sent and she gave us updates on how things were going. I really hope we can have her take care of them again. Thank you so much!
Rachel took great care of our cat while we were away; she even went above and beyond and spent some extra time with him since he was in a playful mood while she was here. Based on his talkative chatter upon our return, our boy was happy spending time with her, and everything was neat and clean when we returned. It was easy to see that animals gravitate toward her kind demeanor. Will request her again the next time we are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $22.2 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 6,929 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
