“Alexandrea and our cat Bruce made friends on the first visit. Alexandrea also stayed for a good 30 minutes (Check-In) and made sure Bruce was fat and happy and also played with him while we were gone. Past experiences is was in and out in 15 minutes it seemed from others. I will be looking for Alexandrea on our next trip for sure!”
“This is my second time having Victoria for my babies. She is really good with communication and immediately let me know if anything happened during her visit. She always be my first person to reach out when I need help.”
About: I have been caring for street cats and some dogs since I was eleven, both in my grandmother's neighborhood and my own. Additionally, I can train your pet; I've successfully taught my two-year-old cat four tricks: Sit, Paw, High Five, and Turn. Taking care of pets fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routines, especially since I just graduated from trade school. This gives me plenty of time to focus on their needs. It’s wonderful because it means I can give them the attention and care they deserve without feeling rushed or pressed for time. Taking care of pets in my home or my client's home is about giving them love, attention, and meeting their basic needs. I do want to share that, at the moment, I can't host pets at my own home because of ongoing construction work.
“Mara made an instant connection with my shy girl Prima! She did a great job taking care of Prima while I was away and always made sure to send me videos or pictures when she was doing her drop in to visit and care for Prima. Her communication was good and she was flexible with things like scheduling the meet and greet and returning the keys to my apartment.”
“Sabrina has been absolutely wonderful with Cali! 🐾❤️ She is reliable, caring, attentive, and treats Cali so good! I felt comfortable knowing Cali is in such good hands when she’s with Sabrina. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure Cali was happy, safe, and well cared for. I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kristi is excellent at watching pets and you should utilize her pet-sitting services! This is now the 5th or 6th time that Kristi has watched my cat Apollo. Kristi is excellent with communication and is flexible in terms of drop-off and pick-up if life circumstances come up e.g. I've had to drop Apollo at 11 pm due to getting back late from work. She's good at sending pictures of my cat without prompting. My cat isn't lonely and gets attention from her and her kids. Apollo appears in good health every time I've picked him up. Kristi is very reliable and caring. When she was watching my cat Piper, Piper had a seizure and Kristi immediately rushed her to the vet and notified me. Hands down, book Kristi to watch your pets!”
“Aria took great care of my 8 week old kitten. Every picture or video she sent showed him relaxed and content. She is also lenient with start and pickup times. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 10 years and have also spent time fostering both dogs and cats, including animals with special needs. That experience has taught me that every pet needs something a little different, whether that means extra patience, a specific routine, a slower introduction, or just plenty of attention and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with everything from newborn kittens to extra-large dogs, and I’m very comfortable around big breeds since we have large dogs of our own at home. Fostering has also given me experience working with animals who may be nervous, shy, adjusting to a new environment, or in need of a little extra care. I’m patient and attentive, and I always try to meet animals where they are rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, cautious and reserved, or convinced they should be the center of attention at all times, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, and varying times throughout the day, including early mornings, late evenings, and everything in between. I know pet routines don’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or a little extra flexibility, I’ll do my best to make scheduling easy and reliable. Safety, trust, and communication are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I make a point to keep owners in the loop. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. In your home, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, and I always respect both your space and your pet’s boundaries. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate right away if I notice something. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re apart.
“Mary has been great taking care of my two cats! Always prompt to get back to me and very flexible with my changing schedule. My cats get along great with her. No worries about them whenever I am out of town!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys! From owning a tiny Maltese to gentle giant Great Pyrenees, (as well as a rescue Pit Bull puppy who was completely covered in mange - I personally nursed her back to perfect health) we rescued off the street with a special rescued Beagle in the mix, I’ve loved getting to know dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Big or small, fluffy or fabulous, they all have a special place in my heart! 🐕💕 I’m also a lifelong cat lover who has rescued and cared for countless cats and kittens over the years. Whether your fur baby loves playtime, enjoys long walks, is a professional cuddler, or simply wants a little quiet company, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Every pet has their own unique personality, and I can’t wait to discover what makes yours so special! 🐈💖 As a proud Fort Lauderdale native, I’d absolutely love to meet you and your precious fur babies! Your pets will be treated like family, spoiled with affection, and cared for with all the love and attention they deserve. You can relax knowing your four-legged family members are in experienced, loving hands. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible, open schedule and am available 7 days a week to care for your precious fur babies! 🐱🐶 Whether you need a last-minute sitter or regular pet care, I’m happy to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, and companionship whenever you need me. ❤️🐾. 👀📆 Please refer to my calendar for availability. I update daily and/or as soon as I have a change in schedule! Don’t hesitate to contact me for last minute bookings. 🤗 I’m here to help assist you and your pet care needs.💕🐾🐶🐈 🐾 Care That Fits Your Pet’s Needs! 🐶😻 Every pet deserves love, attention, and care tailored to their individual needs! I’m happy to spend as much time with your furry family members as you’d like, whether it’s a quick visit, an extended stay, or extra companionship throughout the day. Dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making every walk a fun and enjoyable experience. I also adore cat sitting and making sure my feline friends receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention. From walks and playtime to cuddles, feeding, and anything else needed to keep your pets happy and comfortable, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐾
“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kittens. This was my first time using Rover so I did not know what to expect. However, Taylor communicated very efficiently the entire time and sent great photos to reassure me the babies were ok. The house looked the same way as I left it which means the little were also behaving thanks to Taylor’s visits. Would definitely rebook for another trip!”
“I love having Jenny as Bella’s sitter! This is the second time I’ve had her come back during one of my longer work trips away. Bella loves her, and I fully trust her for everything in my home! She is very caring and reliable and will take care of you pet like it’s her own! I highly recommend Jenny!”
“Mackenzie did so well taking care of my three cats while I was away! I felt at peace knowing my cats were in good hands. Will definitely rebook again & recommend to others!”
About: I have had pets in my household since I was a toddler. From a young age I have learned how to care for them and be responsible with such things as feeding, givings meds, regular walks and play, grooming, and various special needs like spoon feeding and assisting with mobility for senior pets. I have even taken part in going through a full puppy obedience course as well as a few months of agility classes. My work schedule is normally pretty flexible with hybrid depending on the time of the year. Typically I am the most free in the mornings and will have some availability in the afternoons where I will sometimes need to drive locally for a couple hours. Most evenings are pretty free as well. Since I am renting I am not allowed to have pets in my own home, but I have house and pet sat for friends and family before and always do my best to respect and keep the place in the same way it was left. Most times I do find that having the pet in their own space is best and can help ease anxiety instead of making sudden changes to a new one.
“Karla did a wonderful job, she followed instructions, and she was very neat, she sent us detailed reports while we were out every time she came. I am happy to have found her. I will absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
About: Grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, you name it! Experience with senior dogs/cats as to how to properly care for them to fit their needs. I know how to administer medication via pill and IV injection. Special experience with cerebellar hypoplasia in cats. I started dog sitting at 15 and rescuing/fostering cats since I was 18! Drop in visits availability: I work M-F 8-5 so I can take care of pets before and after those times. Weekends I am free all day to take care of pets. House sitting availability: I work M-F 8-5 so I can take care of pets before and after those times. Weekends I am free all day to take care of pets. I am patient when it comes to giving medication and gaining the trust of an animal as I know it takes time. I treat others animals how I would want mine to be treated.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lauderdale Lakes is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale Lakes
Heather is always so good with my fur baby. She follows directions, sends a daily text with videos. My cat loves her and her special bag with her homemade catnip and fun toys. As much as I hate leaving him while we’re away, I know he’s in good hands. We’ve been using her for about 4 or 5 years. Highly recommend.
I had a wonderful experience with Marianne! She came by for several days to care for my senior cat, and I really appreciated knowing my cat was in caring, attentive hands while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was being looked after with kindness and care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lauderdale Lakes is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
