About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs. I have been trusted to take care of, walk, feed and play with friends and families dogs and cats In both my own home and theirs. Both of my dogs have passed away now. My boy was 14.5 years old when he passed in June 2026. My girl passed in April 2024. Being able to care for other animals while not fully ready to have my own fur baby again will help me with the loneliness of not having my baby here any longer. I am available for all care levels from drop in to house sitting. I am currently unemployed, so i currently have open availability to walk and care for others pets. I am available any day of the week, and look forward to connecting with you and your beloved fur babies. I have a nice size yard that is fully fenced allowing dogs to be able to run and play freely. I do have another dog in the home who is friendly with other dogs, she is an Australian Shepherd. I am able to crate either dog at anytime if necessary. I am a big cuddle lover, if you prefer your animals not to be on the couch, please let me know so I don’t have them on the furniture.
“Dana was great! I came home to happy, healthy pets. She kept me informed after each visit, and notified me of any alterations (eg, cats were eating a little less than normal while I was gone, so she cut down on the daily food amount). I would recommend her to anyone needing cat care.”
“Simply an awesome human being! Bobbi's looked after my old guys a few times now and they've always done great with her. She's committed to making sure your family members with four legs are well looked after.”
“Alexa & Connor were wonderful cat sitters for us and we highly recommend them! They took great care of our boys, especially our older cat that needs twice a day medication. They fed them, cleaned up, and spent time giving them attention, and sent detailed notes/photos on each visit which we really appreciated.”
“Monique was great! We really appreciated how professional she was and she took great care of our cat Gracie. I would definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much!”
“I was away from my kitties for three weeks and the only reason I wasn't afraid everyday was because of Tatiana! They've never liked anyone else, but very quickly she and them had bonded and I was getting oodles of pictures of them happily cuddling away. She stayed in full contact with me and I could feel how much she cared about them from the pictures and messages. Will be re-booking next time!”
“He isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty that’s for sure!! This is the second explosion my poor old lab has had on my laundry room carpet while at work, and Damon hasn’t even flinched at cleaning it up! You would never know anything happened! HE IS AND ANGEL FOE REAL!!”
“Angela looked after our 4 kitties while we were away. She was so kind to them and sent us so many photos and videos, it really put us at peace knowing she was looking after them.”
“Katelyn is responsible, reliable and a joy to work with. She is very professional and I felt very comfortable she was talking care of my cats. She was on time, followed all instructions and was even there to help last minute!”
About: I have extensive experience with sitting and walking different types of dogs. I have one pup at home and have grown up with dogs (and cats). I’m currently working part-time while on summer break from WWU. Meaning I’ll have plenty of time to spend playing, petting, or walking with your pups :) I can’t host dogs at the moment, because of renovations. But am more than happy to travel to petsit and can accommodate any requests or health issues your pup may have.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. I have personally had 9 dogs, 2 of which are still living. They are a German Shepherd and a mixed hound. I also foster dogs from time to time. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, with dogs that need any special medication, as one of my dogs was a diabetic and blind. Also, I am comfortable with dogs that have aggression issues, as long as we work out how to address them before your dog stays with me, and no one gets hurt. Two of my German Shepherds have aggression issues that I had to work through. A little about me: I am going back to get my master's and teach. Currently, I am substitute teaching, and we undergo a very thorough background check, including fingerprints and a check with the FBI. I am willing to provide long-term boarding for deployments or similar situations. That is the case; we can discuss the details and the long-term care rate. I have a very large fenced yard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play. It is 1/3 of an acre. I have radiant heat in the floors of my house, and most of the time, the dogs lie on the nice, warm floor. I do have a camera in the backyard. I can give you access while your dog is staying here with me. :) I’m sorry, I cannot take any more neutered dogs. The few I have had have been working all over my house, and it doesn’t matter how much cleaning you do, or how special the treatments are, they don't work. It’s a big problem with unneutered dogs. I do hope you consider neutering your dog. I am currently working to go back and get my masters and education to be a teacher. I am available all days right now and flexible on times. I have a large yard that is fully fenced with a 6 foot fence. I treat pets as part of my family but keep them well behaved and mannered. I have fostered dogs before too, and I always try to meet the dog where they are at whether they are stressed, fearful, or have a lot of. For example, if they need a lot of exercise we go on walks and play several times a day. I find a happy dog is a happy life.
“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my cat. She has such a warm and assuring presence that was the perfect fir for my shy gal. Everything was in order when I arrived back home from my trip, and her daily updates assured me my pet was safe and well cared for. Thank you for your kindness!”
“Mollay did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our bunnies and our cat while we were away. From start to finish, she was a joy to work with and an excellent communicator. She sent frequent updates with thoughtful details about how everyone was doing, along with lots of pictures, which brought us so much comfort and peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear that she truly cared about our pets and took her responsibilities seriously. We felt completely confident knowing they were in such attentive, capable hands. I would highly recommend Mollay to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter, and we will absolutely be working with her again in the future.”
“We love Kyley! They are reliable and consistent, and I love all of the pictures and notes. I look forward to it every time! Sammy loves her visits and getting some quality play time and a break in the middle of the day. I am so grateful to have someone like Kyley to trust with my best friend.”
“Kim is reliable, trustworthy, and great with the dogs! Great communication! I’ve had her come for house stays as well as visits and will not hesitate to continue to work with her.”
About: I am a phlebotomist and medical lab assistant currently looking for work. I recently moved to Washington and love it here. I grew up being around cats and dogs. I have one cat named Binx. I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs and cats. I’ve taken them on walks, given them baths, helped with their training, play with them, clean up their litter boxes, brush them, given them medicine, and even gone to the park. I feel like I am the best choice because I respect and love animals. I always make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. I do accept both cats and dogs. I do not discriminate against any breed or size. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I will care for for each animal as if they are my own. I am looking forward to meeting new friends. I am currently looking for work since I moved here and I am pretty open . I am available from the mornings until 3pm or 4pm depending on my schedule. If you have any questions please reach out. I care for each animal as if they were my own. I will make sure they are fed and have water, give them space when they need it, play with them, walk them, give them company, pet them, bath them if needed, etc. I understand each animal has their own unique personalities and require different needs. I will ask for as much information as I need, to give them the best care.
“Clarissa was amazing! I needed a cat sitter last minute, and she was there for me right away. She was super responsive and even made time to meet with me the same day I booked. She was incredibly sweet with my cats and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I definitely know who I’ll be calling next time I need cat care!”
“10/10 would recommend & rebook. Megan was really great with our fur babies as well as keeping us informed while we were away. We forgot to leave the TV on for our pets and she remembered our conversation during our initial meeting, and turned on the TV for them. The peace of mind and care she provided was everything we could have asked for.”

Xavier is an AMAZING pet sitter. He even got my skiddish cat to run up to him, jump on his lap, and purr after just two days of visiting. He was able to give my other cat her medicine every morning and night with no issues. I will definitly be reaching out to Xavier the next time I need a sitter.
Dee Anne did a wonderful job watching our kitties, she sent photos everyday, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her whenever we go out of town again, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care while they are away.
Mitchell was amazing! Very communicative and did everything we requested of him. Booked drop ins for two nights and two mornings. Our cat Miko loved the attention and received lovings when he allowed lol. Our two other cats were a lot more shy. Treven and I are very appreciative of Mitchell (and the kiddos 😉)!
Angel did an amazing job! Thank you for taking care of our kitties and giving them lots of love. Angel definitely went the extra mile and cleaned up around the litter box swept gave us great updates and lots of pictures. We will definitely be using him again in the future and 100% recommend.
Noah is a fantastic pet sitter. Communication is timely and straight forward. Even our shy pets are interested in playing and interacting during visits. Reliable, caring, and attentive. After hiring Noah on multiple occasions over the years, we’ve not had a single issue or concern. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $22.2 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 4,519 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
