“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. My family ran a doggy daycare in Germany for several years, And ever since I've moved to Minnesota I've been longing to get back into the business! I have experience working with dogs of all different sizes, cats, rabbits, and even birds! No challenge is too big for me and I am very familiar working with animals that require special needs. Your animals well-being is my top priority and I will treat them as if they were my own! I am a college student with flexible, part-time work– meaning that your pets will never be alone for too long! We can discuss exact schedules in more detail as needed, and I am more than willing to be flexible and accommodating to your needs! As a professional in the industry, I am very aware of the fact that every client has their own needs and wants. I always engange with animals and client homes with the utmost respect. Please do not shy away from requesting any accomodations! No request is too small, and it is very important to me that you feel your loved ones are in good hands with me!
“Rob was an excellent sitter for our cat. He responded quickly to messages and was willing to adjust based on additional requests we had and gave us information on how he saw our cat Nephi was doing. Very grateful for him and highly recommend him.”
“Tyler did a great job taking care of George and Marco! Thank you Tyler for stepping in to help at such short notice! I really appreciate you and you professionalism!✨”
“Annie was fantastic - responsive and ensured Maeve was doing well while I was away. She even got her to come out of hiding daily - not something everyone has been able to do!”
“This was our 2nd time booking Sarah to watch our two kitties. She’s absolutely amazing with them. She’s always on time, sends lots of cute photos and videos and I can tell my cats love their time with her! I would recommend Sarah to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 25 years. Friends and family have relied on me to check in with and care for their pets. Walking my dog is a highlight of my day, I would love to be able to take your dog for long walks too! I’m a stay at home mom, and with the kids going back to school will have some flexibility to shower your pets with attention! I am reliable and responsible, and would love to be trusted to drop in and feed, water, potty, groom and clean up after your pet.
“Pamela did a great job with my two cats! I got detailed updates every day which was really appreciated, and I had a worry free weekend knowing they were in good hands.”
About: My name is Serenity, and I guarantee peace of mind when you leave your animals with me. I grew up on a farm and with a mother who adores animals. I've cared for all kinds of animals and have extensive experience with looking after their well-being and health. I love any animal from big dogs to baby kittens. I know that your pet is like family to you. If you choose me as a sitter, I can promise that they will be treated as family. I can work with rescues and special diets. I can bottle feed and help with disabled animals as well. Not only am I able to look after your animals with the care that is necessary, I can also ensure the loving environment any animal deserves :) I am a college student who has lots of extra time this summer. I recently moved states and I deeply miss my own pet family; for that reason I plan on working with animals as much as possible. Tell me what you need, I'll work with you! I don't plan on hosting because I live in an apartment, however I am very respectful of spaces that aren't mine. If you need me to watch your babies over night, I promise I'll treat your space with as much respect as my own- even if your pet makes a mess, you wouldn't be able to tell because I'd clean it asap!
“Natalie was wonderful! She was communicative and friendly, and I love that she's a true neighbor. The kitties were in good hands, and I would happily leave them in her care again.”
“THANK YOU SHYKALA. My cat has been experiencing some health issues and Shykala was so sensitive to my pets needs and made sure she was happy and comfortable and gave me great updates. She went above and beyond and even took the time to clean after my cat (she wasn’t asked to do that but it’s super appreciated). This isn’t the first time I have booked Shykala and it won’t be the last.”
“Alexandria was awesome! She was very responsive and made sure to send pictures and updates upon visiting. Both my cats seemed very mellow and relaxed when I returned! They were very well taken care of. Would 100% recommend!”
“Xander was fantastic and was able to help me out on super short notice!! My cat got lots of love and attention and the photos were excellent. 11/10, highly recommend.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. We could not have been happier with the results. The process was seamless and Tonia was exceptional. She sent us pictures of our kitties and kept us up to date with her visits. I would highly recommend her and when we need a sitter again we will definitely be contacting Tonia again.”
About: With 12 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and understanding to every furry friend I meet. Growing up in a pet-loving family, I had the joy of bonding with cats and dogs alike, and now I have a sweet pup of my own who continues to teach me every day. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and have some training experience that helps me connect with each pet’s unique needs and personality. To me, animals are the most precious beings, and they deserve more than just basic care—they deserve to be loved, respected, and pampered. I will always go out of my way to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home, as if they were my own! Even though my job comes with an unusual and ever-changing schedule, pet care is always a top priority in my life. I make it a point to plan around the pets I care for—ensuring they get all the love, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s making time for a walk, a cuddle session, or just being there when they need company, I’m fully committed to giving every pet in my care the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility is part of my lifestyle, and it allows me to show up for your pets when you need me most! I care for my own dog with daily walks, lots of playtime, and all the cuddles he could ever want—he’s truly part of the family! That same level of love and attention is what I bring to every pet I care for. And while my dog is friendly and well-socialized, I completely understand that every pet has different comfort levels. If your pet needs space or a more private experience, I can easily keep them separated to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home!
About: I've taken care of many different types of animals throughout the course of my life. I have more formally done pet sitting in the last 4 years. I have a good understanding of animals and would be a great choice for your pet. I currently work 8:30 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I am comfortable driving throughout the metro. I'm available most weekday evenings. I'm available most weekends. I am respectful of animals. I have also cared for pets with complex medical needs. I have a great compassion for animals and those who care for them.
“Thank you, Amanda, for letting me return home to two very well-cared-for cats who apparently didn’t really notice my absence. And also for helping a neighbor shovel the walk when it had snowed—truly above & beyond!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale
Kristi went above and beyond looking after our cat Penny! Penny really warmed up to her and she was able to administer Penny her daily meds which we appreciate so much. We loved the communication and descriptive notes and photos after each visit. Highly recommend and we will definitely be booking with Kristi again!!
I can't recommend Tanya enough! She made sure our cats were well taken care of while we were away. She was very quick to respond to messages and she kept us updated throughout the entire time. She even vacuumed so we could come home to a fur-free house! We (and our kitties) are so grateful for her services.
Scott did a fantastic job caring for my kitty. I appreciate the updates and the pictures showing me the engagement they had together. Peepers loves to be pet and brushed and Scott definitely took the time and engaged Peepers in her favorite activities. I will definitely ask Scott back and highly recommend others do too! 🥰😻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lauderdale is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .

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 , 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.
