We were very anxious to leave our cat Bambi alone for the weekend for the first time and even more stressed when our sitter fell through last minute. Dana was incredibly attentive and patiently accepted all of our requests for Bambi on short notice. I definitely felt so much more assured that Bambi wouldn’t be completely alone and would have someone as compassionate as Dana to accompany him :-) Dana’s updates on Bambi during check ins really reassured us that Bambi was doing well. and in good hands :-) i would definitely consider Dana again in the future ❤️

About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 😉 and a reliable animal lover who loves keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I grew up with cats and dogs and have become the go-to sitter for friends and family when they travel. I’m happy to care for pets based on their personalities—whether that’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own pack (or clowder 🐾). I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and open availability, including weekends and holidays, and I’m an early bird, so morning feedings, walks, and check-ins are no problem. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, care, and companionship to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I follow their routine closely to create a calm, loving environment. I’m also tidy and respectful of your home, keeping things clean and organized while caring for your furry friend. 🐾

I am currently a full time student and dog dad with time in between my dogs routine to help other fur babies through their day. I am a responsible and trustworthy animal friend who understands the importance of following through with individualized care to ensure furry friends and their owners are protected and supported in their day to day.

About: I've had dogs of every size my whole life in every environment, and I really enjoy giving high quality treatment to the animals around me. This is currently my full time job while I apply to other places. I'm free morning noon and night for you, and your pets convenience. I have a fenced-in backyard that has been flea and tick sprayed so no critters will catch a ride on your fur baby. As for walks around your neighborhood I always carry an emergency pet care bag with me just to be safe.

About: We both grew up loving and taking care of our family dogs. When I was in college, I often worked as a dog sitter for neighbors and friends. I was able to build a network who trusted me with their precious pooches. We are still in the process of trying to find a pup of our own but in the meantime, while working from home, we have plenty of time to care for your pet. You can expect lots of snapshots and frequent updates (as often as you’d like) to keep you posted. Whether your furry friend prefers to lounge on the couch or go exploring and running around, we're happy to do what makes them happy! We love hiking, exploring, and discovering the gems in our city! I work from home full time so have the ability and flexibility to be available for your pets needs. Since I am still looking for a dog of my own, it's a great way to love on pups and get my fill of activities with walks or downtime snuggling on the couch. When staying at my home or a client's, I will always follow their guidelines and rules in terms of what is allowed. Mine is a very dog friendly home so they are always welcome on furniture or in the bed as they see fit.

About: I grew up in the small town of Valley Center and have been around animals all of my life. From dogs and cats to horses and sheep, I have worked with them all. I love animals of all sizes and would love to show care and love for your animal when you need it. I have raised puppies and had senior dogs. Worked with all types of livestock. I was in FFA in high school and raised cattle and sheep and was an officer. I work a job 5 days a week but will work around my main job. I start that job early at 5 am, so I'm open to early afternoons and evenings. Can do very early if needed, and closer to on my way to work. I will treat everyone's home like my own or like my best friends or sisters home. every pet will be treated as my own and get to know them so we both can be safe and happy.

About: I have been trusted by friends and family to pet sit the past 3 years. I love all animals the same and have owned multiple pets my whole life. I am working part time and college part time with a flexible afternoon schedule. Mornings on Friday-Sundays are always great and give me lots of free time. I have a secure fenced in backyard with chickens separated to the side. We have a dog crate inside. At this time I do not offer boarding while I am trying to train my puppy.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I have trained two dogs myself including my current dog. I can reinforce training during visits or walks. I know how to perform subcutaneous injections, prepare and use a feeding tube, and a master of delivering oral medication. Willing to do teeth brushing and nail trimming for an additional fee. I work part time at the Safari. My work hours range from 7am to 5:30pm most days. So I can do visits before or after work. I will share my availability for each week at request. Willing to do visits or walks as late as 8pm. I am flexible to how you want me to treat your pets whether it be spoiled or rigid training. I care for my own dog with one scent lead walk a night and the occasional heel walk. I also reinforce training throughout the day at home.

About: Growing up, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkies to larger and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their routines, feeding habits, personality quirks, and behaviors. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. Overall, I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, making knowledge, communication, and observation key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior-challenged dogs. Don't hesitate to reach out; I am always willing and able to assist in any situation! :) Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine; my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the pets in my care. As a high school graduate, I have learned to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. As a college student, I am able to schedule coursework around those in my care, giving each pet the structure they deserve while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. In addition, having free weekends allows me to dedicate more time to those in my care; I use this time for grooming, mental stimulation, or fun activities depending on the dogs' needs and abilities. My focus on time management ensures that each pup is always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into their routine. Overall, my goal is to provide a calm, nurturing, and healthy environment. I can ensure that pet care is prioritized in my routine, allowing me to meet the needs of every dog I meet. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment that fosters trust, respect, and well-being. Safety is my top priority; this includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, deep cleaning after every stay, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. In terms of health, I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses, supervise them, and monitor them while off leash closely. Building trust with animals is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, I create a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, potty breaks, and spending quality time/playing, I strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment for each dog I meet. I can ensure they feel valued and cared for. Overall, the environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. I respect established routines and follow your care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for your pet. My approach combines attentiveness, compassion, responsibility, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lilac on Rover is $16.1 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 3,754 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 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 Lilac. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
