“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.”
“Kristi is the best! She's super nice, flexible and quick to answer requests and texts. And her photos and descriptions of how my cat, Galahad, is doing always make me laugh (and make me worry less about leaving him). He loves her, and I'm confident he's in great hands. I've booked her twice now and I'll keep using her until she doesn't want to do it anymore!”
“Colleen, was a great sitter for our little Zara girl. Our cat loves her and she provided great updates. We already have her booked for another trip we have coming up!”
“Stephanie was great! She fed and gave my cat her medicine twice a day and was very responsive, always sent multiple pictures. She was easy to get in touch with. I would definitely use her again in the future”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I previously lived with two energetic Black Labs, helped raise my German Shepherd from the time she was a puppy, and through my job with a police department, I regularly spend time around our community K-9. Being around so many different dogs has helped me become comfortable with various breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m also a proud cat mom to two rescue cats, Opal and Jasper. Opal was rescued as a tiny kitten from a bus engine at my workplace in January 2024, and Jasper came into my life through a coworker who wanted to give him a loving home after realizing her own cat wasn’t a good match. Caring for them has given me plenty of experience with cats and their unique personalities and needs. What sets me apart is that I’ll care for your pets the same way I care for my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. My career in public safety has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe, responsible hands. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a rotating schedule and work 12 hour shifts. On the days that I work I am there from 6 am to 6 pm. My schedule rotates and is based on a Sunday-Saturday work week and is as follows: Work Sunday, off Monday-Tuesday, work Wednesday-Thursday, off Friday-Sunday. Then back to work Monday-Tuesday, off Wednesday-Thursday, work Friday-Sunday and so on. I know it seems confusing so if you have any questions about my schedule please ask me and I can explain it better! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat them and your space with the same respect I would my own. I know that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether that means feeding them on schedule, going for walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, or simply giving them plenty of love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. If requested I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and in good hands.
“Had a last minute trip and Kateri was able to make things less stressful! She was great with communication and always sent me plenty of photos. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“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've been a business professional for decades. I have had pets my entire life, until recently. I have passed FBI background, Special Olympics background checks and also here. 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.
“Mitchell was great! This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy with how easy it was to communicate with Mitchell, not to mention the awesome pictures we got throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
“Abigail was amazing- she showed up right on time and even suggested coming an additional time to bring the dogs in early on a very hot day. Definitely recommend her and will be using her frequently!”
“Megan is the first person other than my husband and I to give Joe his insulin shots. He was so good with her and even curled up on her lap to rest during a visit. That speaks to her level of care and Joe’s comfort with her as a caregiver. Very glad to have found Megan!”

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!
Elizabeth was amazing!!! This was a last minute request and she couldn't have been more accomodating and easy to work with. You can tell how much she cares as her updates were always thorough. So happy to have found her, she'll be our go-to sitter moving forward!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $22.2 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 1,131 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.
