“Christy did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. It was the first visit and everything went very smoothy. I feel so fortunate to have found such a kind and caring person to look after my dog.”
“Sonia was AMAZING! Our cats are usually a little scared of new people but after the second visit, they both came out to get pets from her. Sonia was very communicative, kind, and really loves animals. I recommend her to any cat owners, and I will definitely use her services again. 10/10”
About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.

“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”
“Dani has taken care of my cat Razzberry on two different occasions this summer. She took very good care of my little girl and I wasn’t worried about her at all while I was gone.”
About: I’ve taken care of small to medium dogs since I was about 14! I’ve helped with medication. I have changed senior dog diapers. I’ve dog sat many different breeds! I’m currently going to school full-time, so during the week I can provide pet care in the evenings! During the weekend I can provide pet care every other Saturday and every Sunday anytime! I can offer your pets a calm, safe, and patient care. I am also able to play around and engage with your pets! Whether your pet needs a quiet care giver or a pet that loves to play, I can be there!
“Elizabeth always goes above and beyond to care for our dogs. You can tell this is her priority above all else, and always ensures they are safe and taken care of. 10/5 would recommend”
“Katelyn was very attentive and caring. She took excellent care of my dog and my home. She thought of things that I did not even think of when leaving. She went above and beyond my expectation. I will be hiring her whenever I have to leave my pet at home. I would recommend Katelyn to anyone needing care for their pet.”
“Emily was awesome - was on time - super easy to work with-Paid attention to details in the instructions. Sent regular updates and even brought in a delivery for me! My kitties are very grateful for her help !”
About: Hello! We are a pet-loving family in Northeast Minneapolis who miss having a dog around the house and would love to fill that void by helping you out in your time of need! We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our beloved golden retriever a few years ago and while we'd love to add a dog to the house again, with two preschoolers our home life can be a handful and it just isn't the right time for the full commitment of dog ownership. That's why we love to open our hearts and home to furry guests! If you're visiting my profile for cat boarding, it is very much a cat-loving house as well - we have 2 cats in our home. I work a hybrid schedule, with flexibility and leniency to choose when I go into office. Daytime schedules are flexible for potty breaks, walks, and stimulation. Always available in the evenings to get some energy out before bedtime. As you can see in the photos, our daughters have inherited the pet-loving genes from their parents - your pet will never be without attention! We have a decent-sized yard but not fenced in. We do have a long leash we can attach in the backyard so your pet can be with us while we're playing outside. Our neighborhood is very sidewalk friendly and bustling with other dog owners. Your dog will always be leashed when out of the house. We are also very friendly with the neighbors next door, fully-fenced, and can use their backyard for off leash time. We have two cats in our home who are very sweet and have had no issues with any of our guests. But our standard is just to create separate floors (unless it's a known guest) so there need not be any interaction during your pet's stay to avoid conflict. One cat tends to make herself scarce during our guests' visits, while the other watches curiously and without incident. Our basement is finished and I always stay down there with our guests and sleep on the couch when we have visitors (they're welcome to cuddle!). As for cat boarding - the same as above applies, we can always create separate areas for litter/feeding for your cat and the resident cats. You will get frequent photo and text updates throughout your pet's stay - take a look at my reviews to confirm. Apologies if the stats on my profile don't indicate 100%, as I tend to keep in touch over text messages as opposed to Rover's messaging (which is what counts towards that metric).
“Lucia was the best!! I have never felt better about my kitty while on a trip. She is super quick to respond and helped work around travel plans on short notice. Plus she takes really good pictures of your babies while you are gone!!”
About: I’m a college student who had the pleasure to work with the PAWS program at the University Of Minnesota which helps people meet animals safely. It helped me educate more people about how pets support mental health and wellbeing. My favorite thing in the world is hosting those angels in my residence. I’m currently taking classes mostly Monday and Wednesday morning but when i’m not in school i’m usually pretty free. I walk everyday in the morning so i usually like to have a buddy to accompany me! I prefer to adjust to the owner’s style rather than doing my own way. I’ve learned that cats and dogs especially can get pretty uncomfortable with sudden changes to their routines and schedules.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lauderdale is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale
She was an amazing cat sitter! She visited twice a day for several days to feed my cats, clean litter boxes, play with them and give them their medicine. She even cleaned up messes, brought in a package, and sent photo updates after every visit. My cats were happy, safe, and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great pet sitter!
We chose to hire Sophia as our very first sitter from Rover, and could not be more pleased with the wonderful care she took to look after our cats! Sophia communicated promptly and shared photos and videos during every drop-in visit. Both cats were clearly very content with Sophia’s care, and we were very pleasantly surprised when our very shy cat, who typically hides when strangers visit, was already happy to be out and about on Sophia’s first visit! We absolutely would recommend Sophia to others looking for compassionate care.
Meri is a fantastic sitter, that we will absolutely hire again! We had to find a last minute sitter, for a week’s time, for two cats, and our usual sitters were unavailable. I’m always hesitant with strangers around my pet-babies, let alone LEAVING them with a stranger, but I am so SO glad we went with Meri after receiving several recommendations for their amazing services. Fast, efficient communication. Great prices. Very kind, with good friendly energy. Made sure to keep us updated on a couple requests. Asked for an initial pre-meeting, which some sitters do not do, and I really appreciated that. Clearly speaks and understands cat fluently, and the boys had a blast! Thank you Meri!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lauderdale on Rover is $19.98 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 2,897 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lauderdale. 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 Lauderdale. 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.
