About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
“This was the second time we’ve booked with Rachel to watched our two cats, and same as the first time, she was fantastic! My cats remembered and warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. She is incredibly communicative and sent us regular updates and photos. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Super reliable, caring, and communicative—highly recommend! Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Shoshana did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Her daily texts and photos made us relieved that they were in good hands. Some of our cats are shy but they warmed up to Shoshana quickly. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had pets growing up weather it was a dog a cat or a Hamster, I’ve even took care of my aunts pet pig and cat. I’m currently in school from 8–1 but after that i’m free, and im very flexible with weekends and weekdays Im a senior in highschool so when summer comes around i will be free! I’m a very responsible and respectful person so you won’t have to worry about having a messed up home ever! I have a puppy of my own so if your pets ever want company she’s great with cats and dogs
“We were in a bind when our regular cat sitter had to cancel last minute due to illness, and Kerri stepped in immediately. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and took full responsibility from the start, which gave us such peace of mind. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she handled everything seamlessly on short notice. Most impressively, our two very timid cats actually came out to greet her — something that almost never happens! We’re so grateful to have found Kerri and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Christina is a rare and talented gem who gives incredibly thorough and tender care to our furbabies. The peace of mind she provides when we’re away is unparalleled, especially as our one kitty is newly diabetic. He’s also a very shy guy and she quickly mastered issuing his oral pill. All 3 kitties and our exuberant doggo pretty much immediately took to Christina. She’s truly an animal whisperer and an extremely reliable support for us. We are beyond grateful for Christina and highly recommend her!”

“Vee helped me in a last minute need for a walker. Not only did she take care of Kai but stayed a bit longer and made sure she got a good walk in! Will be using regularly in the future.”
“Rodney took great care of our dogs while we were away on only a few hours notice after our original sitter had to cancel. He took the time to call us beforehand to ask about how to care for our dogs and kept us updated throughout our trip. We’ll definitely be giving him a call next time we are away!”
About: I had a lab and weinerdog when I was little into my teens. We got our pit when I was 11. He's a senior now. And currently I have 2 cats if my own. One of my cats takes a med every night while the other one needs a butt wipe and grooming. I work full time as a para at a school for disabled, and part time ABA therapy for kids with autism. I'm hoping to fit in hours during the weekend and during school holidays. I feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and administer meds to my cats. My male cat is very playful, while my female cat all she wants is to be brushed constantly. Growing up I had a very feister daschound who played a lot, even in her old age. Generally I'm comfortable with whatever your pet might require.
“This was Lisa's first drop-in visit with Bogey, who is a rescue , previously abused, and normally reserved around new people. He and Lisa got along very well. She took the time to meet Bogey in advance, arrived on time, and obviously cared about making him comfortable, something that is not easy to do. I was very pleased with the care Lisa gave him, and I will be scheduling her in the future. It is my hope that she will be my "go to" person when I need a dog sitter.”

“Carol was excellent. She responded to my initial request promptly and confirmed the visit one day in advance. She arrived an 1/2hr earlier than scheduled. My dogs took an immediate liking to her. She took plenty of pics and kept me posted throughout the visit. I also want to mention how patient she was with my special need fur-baby Duke. Her patience, attention to detail and persistence is what Duke needed for his “special issue”. Thank you Carol. I will definitely rebook future visits with her.”

Cassie is fantastic! One of my cats is on oral medication, and it’s not easy to give her the pill each day, so I can’t even begin to describe my sheer relief in finding someone competent, caring, responsible and reliable to take care of everything when we’re away. All three of my kitties loved her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $27.75 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 1,380 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.

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.
