If I could give Katy 100 stars, I would. She helped us out when our pet sitter bailed out on us at the last minute and I was at the airport just before boarding our flight arranging for a back up sitter. She also helped us with an unexpected errand of being on hand for the Uber courier when we needed help with that. Katy is great about communicating, which is very important to us, and she took very good care of our cats.

They did a wonderful job taking care of my baby. They gave him lots of love that he always needs when I'm out of town. They made me feel very comfortable leaving my boy at home.

Aneesa was so accommodating from the start! My pups were happy and so well taken care of. She provided lots of communication and pictures while she was here for her visits over our two days. This was also our first time using a dog sitter for our pups as we’ve never left them before. I felt very reassured and happy knowing that my dogs were happy and well loved. I would highly recommend Aneesa again and will utilize her in the future for our dogs.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, and my love for pets has only grown over the years. As an adult, I worked at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I have also adopted and cared for three dogs of my own throughout every stage of their lives, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. This experience has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing the love and comfort pets need to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention due to age or special needs, I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while you're away. I am currently in between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide your pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your furry family member enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I can tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care, I am committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced backyard with a 5-foot chain-link fence, providing a safe and secure space for your pet to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. I do not have neighbors directly adjacent to my yard, so there is minimal concern about pets being distracted or stressed by animals on the other side of the fence. I am a lifelong animal lover and currently share my home with a senior dog, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, and a young cat who has been part of our family since he was 8 weeks old as well. Having cared for pets through every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention—I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I personally allow my pets on the furniture, but I fully respect each owner's preferences. If your pet has specific rules, routines, feeding schedules, medication needs, or restrictions, just let me know and I will be happy to follow them to ensure consistency and comfort during their stay. I believe communication is important, so I am also happy to provide updates, photos, and messages while your pet is in my care, giving you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well loved.

About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.

About: Hi, my name is Katie! I’ve been pet sitting for over 6 years and have hands-on professional experience as both a veterinary assistant and an animal care technician. I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including seniors, anxious dogs, and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I provide care, love, play and consistent updates! I prioritize patience, safety, and individualized care so each dog feels secure and well-loved. I’m a full-time student, but I have flexibility built into my schedule to provide dependable pet care! I’m fully free on Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I’m free from 2:45pm to the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m free from 9am-9:30am before class, and then I’m available 5:45pm to the rest of the day after classes. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, medications, playing, and love! I plan my classes and commitments carefully to allow me to prioritize a pet’s routine and ensure they receive consistent, attentive care. I’m committed to maintaining routines that help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities! I know how special pets are, they’re family, and I treat each one as if they’re my own. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions, routines, and safety guidelines. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health and communicate promptly with owners. I maintain a calm, clean and loving environment to make sure pets feel safe and cared for at all times. I send regular updates so owners know their pet is comfortable, safe and happy!

Abbi was very reliable, easy to communicate, most importantly; she took the time to make sure she understood the dog’s strict time sensitive medication schedule. She also provided lots of pictures and updates for every visit. My dog was very well cared for and loved while we were gone. 100% recommend Abbi!

If you want your dog to stay active and provided that human comfort during the relaxing moments then Midori is the answer. Out of the sitters on Rover & available in her area, I’d say she’s at the top. She provides plenty of exercise, not just a walk around the block or fetch for a few minutes and back inside, no, she gives your dog an enjoyable workout if they prefer that. Plus where some sitters may get complacent once inside the house, she continues to stay engaged inside by constantly communicating, cuddle with them, or playing with the toys when the dog is clearly trying to play. This made me happy to see, bc I’ve had sitters get inside and go right on their phone or tablet while my dog keeps bringing toy after toy to them dropping it on their lap, and little attention is provided. When I ask to have my dog watched, that means giving them that human interaction since I’m not there. Plus she followed all needed instructions, and most importantly IMO she was not a “clock watcher”. Wasn’t leaving early, in fact she stayed a couple minutes over a couple times which shows she’s not worried about that and truly enjoys doing this. 5+ Stars.

Victoria took great care of my cat! I was worried my cat would be very shy and lonely while I was gone but Victoria sent plenty of pictures showing her and my cat hanging out, which really relieved my concerns. Would definitely use her again in the future.

About: I’ve spent years caring for both my own dogs and cats as well as those of friends and family. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing extra care, I’ve gained hands on experience adapting to a wide range of personalities and needs. Whether it’s managing medication, keeping up with playtime, or offering quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable and thoughtful care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am an online college student this semester and can have a very flexible schedule that works best for what you need!! I can take same day bookings. I have two cats and three dogs of my own, all with different ages and personalities. One of my cats has a medical condition that I’ve cared for and medicated, which has taught me how to spot potential health issues and respond quickly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and maintain clear communication with owners so you can trust your pet is in capable, caring hands.

About: I will take care of as if my own. I tend to get attached and fall in Love fast with furry friends. It’s actually called baby kitty syndrome. Like when you want to squeeze them so hard you will hurt them. Lol I need something to do with myself and make a little extra cash. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rabbits all my life. I rescued 2 dogs, brother and sister, from the woods when they were 6wks old. They made it to be 16. I do have issues with my left leg/foot and lower back. So I won’t be able to lift more than 25lb max. I’m new to the area so this will help me to get out of my house and do something. I actually watch pets to get my fur baby fix and for a place to stay, specially when I travel. And im usually solo on my travels I will stay in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your fur babies. I will follow all your instructions and love them as my own

Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lanexa 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 941 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lanexa. 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 Lanexa. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
