“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”

About: With years of experience caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, I've developed a natural connection with pets. Growing up surrounded by both cats and dogs, I understand their unique needs and personalities. My lifelong passion for animals, combined with my hands-on experience, ensures your furry friend will receive the best care possible. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I provide a loving and trustworthy environment for your pet. Pet care fits well into my current routine, as I’m looking for part-time work and have availability Wednesday through Saturday, primarily in the afternoons and evenings. This schedule allows me to plan my time around the needs of the pets in my care and provide attentive, dependable service during those hours. Starting in mid-November, I’ll have even more flexibility in my schedule, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of pet care needs. My goal is to make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve! I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, as I currently do not have the space to care for pets in my own. I follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, cleanings, and walks, to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to offer a stress-free experience by maintaining consistency and offering personalized care while you’re away.

“Belinda is our new go-to cat sitter! She was communicative throughout the entire stay, and took great care of our two babies like they were her own, even our more difficult cat who requires oral medication. We can’t wait for Belinda to watch them again for a longer stay in a couple of weeks 😊”

“Carla is the most amazing caretaker! I left her with one senior cat-very difficult. Also another middle aged cat. I left my two cats with her for 21 days, and when I got back Leo looked better than when I left him! I honestly believe he didn't want to leave Carla's. She is also very kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend this gem of a cat sitter one thousand percent! You can leave your feline with her with no worries.”

About: Hi! My name is Devin, and I’m a dependable animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. Over the past 10–11 years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities from small breed dogs and cats to large dogs weighing up to 80 pounds. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, senior pets, shy animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m an active person who genuinely enjoys getting outside with dogs. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk, an energetic run, or simply spending time exploring new sights and smells, I love helping pets stay physically and mentally engaged. In my free time, I often take my own pets to the beach to enjoy fresh air, socialization, and a little water play. Watching them have fun while staying active is one of my favorite parts of being a pet owner, and I’d love to provide that same level of care and enrichment for your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently offering: * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * House sitting * Overnight pet care I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and healthy. I enjoy being active, so adding dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays fits well into my schedule. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, consistency, and plenty of affection, and I make time to provide that level of care for every pet I look after. I always strive to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you know they’re doing well. For dogs, I’m happy to provide walks, play sessions, or even a run if that’s part of their normal routine. For cats, I take a patient approach and let them interact at their own pace while making sure they receive fresh food and water, a clean litter box, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, fostering dogs and cats, volunteering at SPCAs, and helping my mom dog-sit. My wife and I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 reptiles. Mya, our 7 year old Husky, and MJ, our 9 year old American Shorthair, have been with my wife for 7 years. Solina, mixed breed puppy, and our reptiles are newer additions. It would just be me providing care! My wife and I have a great routine for our pets. We feed them and take them out at consistent times throughout the day. We also take them on outdoor adventures at least once a week. We make sure pets are well taken care of while not letting them run wild. Our dogs are friendly and used to other dogs. The cat keeps to herself. We have a crate can keep dogs in rooms for alone time. If caring in someone else’s home, I would respect your personal property and ways of doing things.

About: I have pets for over 20 years; from puppies and kittens all the way to their senior years. With the majority of my babies being rescues, I have the pleasure of experiencing their early days all the way to their golden years as they prepared to cross the rainbow bridge. This has provided me a ton of experience to provide a wide range of range of care from when they are little and requiring lots of attention through teething and basic skills, all the way to the special care that older pets need such as assistance walking, medication and potty troubles. Currently, our pack includes one growing girl, a two year old mixed breed dog who gets along splendiferously with 3 dignified cats and 1 who begrudgingly tolerates her. In my years of pet sitting, I have worked with dogs and cats of various ages and breeds. I have always respected every owner's parenting style and decisions. I also respect the boundaries of the owner's home as I would hope someone would of mine. I am free most days, including weekends. I'm comfortable with several short visits throughout the day or long visits just to keep your babies company! Safety and the physical and mental health of your friend(s) are my first priority. From my experience as a foster, I’ve learned that every pet has different needs and I’ve learned to identify and address those needs. I regularly do full body inspections on my own pets and will do the same for yours to ensure they are safe and happy when you return!

About: We’re experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, medication, or a closely followed routines. What sets us apart, though, is how we care. We’re calm, observant, detail-oriented, and very comfortable following the little routines that make your pets feel secure. We notice if appetite is different, when a walk needs to be shorter, when the shy cat would rather make the first move, or when an animal companion simply needs a little more company that day. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine and is something we plan around with intention. We keep our schedule flexible so we can give each pet the time, attention, exercise, companionship, and supervision they actually need, without rushing through care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat both the animal and the home with a high level of care, respect, and discretion. We take time to understand each pet’s normal routine, temperament, boundaries, and environment so we can recognize what is typical for them and respond thoughtfully if something changes. For walks and visits, safety comes first. We pay close attention to weather, surroundings, energy levels, other animals, and any individual sensitivities or triggers. We follow the household’s established preferences while also using experienced judgment when conditions call for an adjustment. We are careful with home access, doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications provided by the owner, and any special household protocols. We also believe trust means keeping clients informed without making them feel like they need to manage us from afar. Our goal is simple: your pet should feel secure, understood, and well cared for, and you should feel confident knowing both your pet and your home are in responsible hands.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lilac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lilac is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $35 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,071 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lilac. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lilac. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
