“Ivonka was a true superstar! We left her with my daughter's two cats and my spicy tuxedo. A lot to handle for 12 days. She has a great cat room and another area if needed. Lots of toys, cat climbers and love. We received videos every 3 days and she answered all questions quickly. We came home a day early and she accommodated us with pick up. The cats were happy and healthy. We will definitely use her in the future!”

“Alyssa did a wonderful job house-sitting for our 2 cats! She spent a lot of time with them, stayed the nights with them, and took really great care of them! She would send us daily updates with lots of pictures and summaries of all the ways they played and what they did each day. It was such a relief during our vacation to know that our fur-babies were being well cared for while we were gone. Even our older, grumpier cat eventually warmed up to her! On top of all that, she did dishes, took out the trash, and picked up before she left. I think the house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! What a wonderful surprise to come home to! We'll definitely be using Alyssa again in the future :-D”

About: I am an animal lover, through and through. Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds… you name it. I treat my guest animals like my own and love on them as much as possible. I enjoy taking cute portraits of the pets in my care and I send lots of photos and written updates. I currently have a female Aussie/Pit mix, currently fostering a female Blue Doberman, and have had Doberman Pinschers in the past from puppies through old age until the rainbow bridge. I’m patient with puppies and elderly animals. I check to see which commands they know and how they have been trained to keep them consistent in my care, and have experience administering medications to them. Before joining Rover, I frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently fully remote and based at home. I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. My schedule may change in the future but I will update my info when that happens. I have one female 7 year old Aussie/Pit Mix and occasionally foster Dobermans through Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus. I have a spare bedroom to host guest animals with any bedding and belongings but during the day they are with me, within line of sight in my home. My yard is fenced (4ft) and only two steps to the yard from the door. There are no children living in my home. I live is a quiet neighborhood and can go for walks as needed.

“Autumn was wonderful and all four of our pups, even our shy one warmed up and felt comfortable around her immediately. Autumn was in regular communication and sent some great photos and feedback on all of our girls after her visit. We’ve never had anyone except family members care for our girls and felt at ease after meeting Autumn and thought she did a wonderful job. We plan to book boarding with her and some additional drop in visits as well. Very happy and would recommend.”

About: I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way! I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am available all day Fridays and Sundays. And full days every other Saturday, because I work a half day every other. Can make some weeknights work, depending on the situation. I have a fully fenced in yard, so no need to worry about keeping your babies safe. Backyard comes with two super friendly dogs who love playtime with friends!

About: I treat every dog as if they are my own, learning their routines, preferences, and personality so they feel safe and loved. I have been caring for dogs all my life and it is something I take great pride in. I understand the importance of walking, exercising and proper attention to feeding schedules and water intake. Every dog is a new friend! I work from home and always have time for a four legged friend in need. Whether it be a walk or a drop in visit, my schedule is flexible. Please just message me with a time & date and we could work something out. I live in a house with a fenced in back yard, so there is plenty of space to explore outside. I will ensure your pet is leashed if there is no fence at your home as well as going on a walk. I would care for your best friend as if I was in my own home. I will ensure your pet is shown love, well fed, and appropriately exercised. Trust is a two way street along with respect and humility.

Ivonka is so great with my senior cat Luca who requires insulin injections. I can tell she cares deeply for him. She is prompt, reliable, dependable and this is the second year and several visits she has cared for Luca.

We returned again to happy, well-cared for cats who clearly missed Maria's attention and affection. Some of my favourite photos of our kitties have been taken by Maria, she really sees their unique purrsonalities. One of them has special medical needs and we know he's in very good hands with Maria. Thank you again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lakewood

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 1,427 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:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
