“Absolutely great! Helped us out on short notice, went with the flow for our senior dogs extra needs, and took great care of our boys! Thank you, we will be returning clients.”
“Colleen was amazing, very attentive and took the cutest pictures. She was able to squeeze me in during the holidays which was a great help. I would definitely rebook with her, thank you Colleen!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful, and I am so thankful we found her! She completely eased my anxieties about leaving my two senior, high maintenance dogs for the weekend. It was obvious from the start that she is a true dog person. She followed all of my instructions, communicated clearly, and kept me updated with pictures throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She was patient, attentive, and more than capable of handling my senior boys and all of their quirks. I truly hope Melissa is willing to watch my pups again in the future because I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including rescue dogs with specific behavioral, medical, and emotional needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own I work a full-time job during the week, but I’m available for pet care on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I do my best to keep my schedule updated and communicate clearly to ensure the best care. I have experience introducing and caring for pets around other animals and can adapt in most situations. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment
“Just finished my first booking Kristi for cat visits and highly recommend! She put my mind at ease from the beginning of the meet and greet, and my cat thinks she's awesome. Loved the detailed updates/Rover cards. Our cat thanked her for the affection and care by puking multiple times during visits, and I really appreciate her patience! We came home to a happy cat and everything in good order.”

Your house will be safe. I work remotely and love animals. It's really that simple. I work remote in finance. I miss my own pets. This gives me the opportunity to get some much needed animal kisses. I've never met a dog that didn't love me. Happy to care for your pets in your home. Does your dog need crated? How about a good long walk to make them feel better.

About: My husband and I own a very sweet, playful Great Dane/mastiff and a pure bred English Mastiff. We have experience with all kinds of dogs and other animals. We have a large finished upstairs where our dog loves to run and play. We have a large backyard that is fully fenced/gated. We walk daily (in nice weather). We have fun toys to play with and a whole room for your dog to sleep in (instead of a cage) but if your dog prefers a cage we have a huge one he can sleep in (or you can bring your own). I stay home so your pet will have plenty of company! We have three young girls who absolutely love playing with dogs. They are gentle and dogs always love them.
“Megan did 3 drop in visits with my 2 very energetic 7 month old kittens and I will definitely re-book for future trips. I could tell Megan was very caring and trustworthy at our meet & greet visit. I loved seeing her photos and reading updates about them. It gave me lots of peace of mind knowing they were getting regular visits and play time while we were away. They were 2 very happy boys when we returned so I can tell they enjoyed their time with Megan!”
“Meg & Jeremiah are dog lovers who took great care of my canine companions and let me know how things were going. I would use their services again in the future for sure.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Mitchell is a fantastic sitter and was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I received updates every day of the two of them playing and having fun together. Mitchell is very attentative and goes above and beyond to make sure all of your care instructions are followed. I'll always consider Mitchell for pet sitting with future trips.
Sophia is so sweet! She’s helped look after my cats during a few extended work trips and was happy to help when they needed medicine or special instructions. Now whenever I’m planning to be away, booking Sophia has become routine. The cats are typically shy but they sure like her and she goes above/beyond every time.
Lexie was fantastic with daily check ins for my sweet cat while we were away for almost two weeks. She gave her a lot of loves, playtime, and special treats, sending me lots of pics each time so I got to stay updated on her happenings. I’ll definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,128 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.

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.
