“Doreen did a great job with our three cats. She dropped in multiple times a day to make sure they had food, water, and clean litter. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Jillian is always very willing to help, even at the last minute. She is great with our cats and I know they look forward to her arriving when we are out of town for a couple of days or a week+. Thank you for everything!”
“Alexis was wonderful. She was able to care for our fur baby at short notice which really helped us out a lot. She provided updates and was very thoughtful and helpful. Highly recommended her services! Will definitely be using her again in the future”
About: I've had dogs and cats since I was 12, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I love learning each pet's personality, quirks, and what they enjoy most. I believe exercise matters for a dog's body and mind alike — getting to know a dog well means gaining a new friend. Currently home with a senior chihuahua and an energetic puppy, so I'm comfortable with pets at both ends of the spectrum. Available for evening and overnight care. Pet care fits around my regular work schedule, so I'm primarily available in the evenings after 5pm on weekdays, plus weekends. I can reliably handle drop-in visits and dog walks during these windows, which works well for pet parents who are away at work or have evening commitments. Overnight stays are something I can also offer, but those need to be discussed and coordinated in advance since my availability for those varies more than my regular evening slots. Unfortunately, boarding is not something I can offer at my home at this time! It is hopefully something I would love to be able to do in the future.
About: I’ve always had animals my entire life of all sorts and prefer their company. Naturally animals are comfortable in my presence. I am basically Snow White. Pet care is a regular part of my routine that I could easily adapt to your requirements. I work a few hour during the week for a few days and have plenty of time to accommodate your needs. I have fenced yard if necessary for run time. But I can make time to visit the home of your pets for their comfort ability.
“Kathleen (Kay) was wonderful! Leaving my two cats for a week was hard. Kay made it easier. She likes to have a face-to-face meeting before watching the cats, which is something I really wanted as well. We had a wonderful meeting going over details and quirks about my cats and getting to know her. I knew right away that my special friends would be in very caring hands. While we were gone, Kay always sent numerous photos every day of my cats. The photos showed that she was interacting with them, and I could see them warming up to her. I could tell that she was working to befriend them. I really appreciate that! I also want to commend Kay for keeping things very clean. When we got home, the area around the food and the litter boxes was very clean. I would definitely recommend Kay to anyone needing pet care! She's a nice person who loves animals and will treat yours as if they were hers.”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Doreen came into a very complicated situation with my mother‘s cat. In the short time, Doreen was with us she organized and kept me informed of what was happening with my mother in her independent living apartment. I think Doreen makes a great pet sitter and I would highly recommend her.
I am so pleased with Victoria. She is exceptional with my cat sir Albert and he really likes her and can’t wait to see her. She leaves my apartment organized and clean. She takes the garbage. She make sure that there’s not litter everywhere and I am so happy with how she works with my cat. I recommend her highly for someone who is caring, compassionate, and obviously loves her job.
Heather was absolutely fabulous and will 100% be booking her the next time I am out of town! As this was my first time leaving my kittens for multiple days I was a bit nervous, but Heather did a phenomenal job calming my nerves and taking care of the kitties. She sent a plethora of photos and videos and recounted a detailed account of each visit. She was incredibly kind both with her care and her communications with me. Highly recommend booking her to watch your pets, you will not regret it!
This was my first time ever using Rover and it was important to me to trust someone to look over my cats as I'm not from here! Kathleen was there every step of the way and took care of my cats as if they were her own, despite her being allergic! I am so grateful for kathleen, her kindness, and her love! I recommend her 100000%! Thank you for everything, Kathleen!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
