“Rachel was absolutely amazing with my Stella girl. I can’t say enough good things. She sent me updates, videos and pictures which I absolutely loved. Stella was very standoffish at first but Rachel was very patient and they finally became friends. I highly recommend Rachel for anyone that is looking for a pet sitter. She is a true animal lover.”

“Kerri was incredibly helpful to me with my 3 cats. She also went above and beyond with taking my mail in and lowering and raising my blinds daily so my cats can look out the window on their perches. let's not forget the litter boxes. She did it all. I absolutely would recommend Kerri and will have her again to take care of the cats in the future.”

“Dawn is amazing! We have booked her twice now to take care of our three cats while we are away and will book her again and again. She is attentive to our cat’s different needs, super personable, and always gives updates on how the cats are doing. We appreciate how trustworthy she is and can always have peace of mind when we are away now knowing she is keeping our babies in good hands!”

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.

About: I have experience watching dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have watched reactive dogs as well as some dogs with disabilities. I am very passionate, communicative, respectful, and flexible sitter. I am currently working a full time job but work remote 3 out of 5 work days. This allows me to be fully attentive to your dog on those remote days. I’m also available during the weekends and in the evenings! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pooches company. With that being said, I can easily separate them as well if need be. Additionally at a clients home, communication, making your dog comfortable, and safety are my number one priorities.

About: Hi! My name is Audrey. I have experience caring for pets through personal and informal care, including feeding, walking, and providing companionship for dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable with drop-in visits and understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine while their owner is away. I can administer medication if necessary. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I provide clear updates and photos after each visit. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and aim to create a calm, reassuring presence. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Caring for pets fits easily into my weekly routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for drop-in visits and walks. I keep a flexible schedule so I can be available when pets need care, and I always do my best to be consistent, punctual, and attentive. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free during drop-in visits. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, and medications if needed. I always pay attention to safety, making sure doors are closed and pets are secure before leaving. I also spend time giving pets affection and calm companionship so they feel cared for while their owner is away. I send updates and photos after each visit for peace of mind 💛

I am a college student, so during the week I am available at select times in between or after classes, and on Saturdays I am available all day. I do not board in my home, but in your home, I would be able to walk, feed, play with, & clean up after your pet.

About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!

About: Hi! My name is Courtney and I have always been known as the animal girl/lady and have worked in just about every part of the pet care industry with pride. I am a former master groomer as well as canine trainer, have worked with thousands of dogs regardless of breed, age, or background and have never met a dog, cat or creature that did not love me as much as I do them❤️ From trimming nails to snuggling up with your pup at night, if you choose me to care for your animals, they become my own and part of my family❤️ when applicable, I also do incorporate training into regular walks and drop ins to make life a more pleasant experience for both our furry family members and us humans! I am also well versed in other species from big to small and am meticulous in my care of all creatures. As a trainer and handler I have also cared for dogs during show days at venues, prepped dogs for the show ring and taken dogs to canine sporting events as well as lessons. Lastly, I’m always quick to snap a great photo of a pup, cat or our other family members looking their best, and always love a good impromptu photoshoot to send you! Overall, I am here to support you and your animals to have and be the best you can be as a team, and look great doing it! I currently have full availability to bring any animals into the Courtney’s Cuddles and Care Family❤️ I work from home making dog apparel and service dog gear, so always open for communication and a drop in! I am always happy to go over each individual pets needs and routines and follow them meticulously, as well as incorporate training and/or grooming as needed! Every animal I have the pleasure of caring for becomes a part of my family and is treated like my own. My service dog, Tsunami, is also an extremely well trained, very neutral dog that I am happy to introduce to others that need friends! She is a rough collie, or as many people recognize, a lassie dog!

“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 work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play or give pets if your cat is feeling up to it! I’m available most days - let me know what works for you and we’ll figure it out together. I firmly believe in respecting the boundaries of your cat. If they want pets and playtime, I’m there for it. If they’re nervous around strangers, I can be a quiet presence giving them time and space.

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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lakewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $26.75 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 1,460 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
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
