“Meredith was incredibly thoughtful and reliable! I was so thankful for the detailed daily updates when I was gone for the week, and my cat seemed to truly love her!”
About: I am experienced in caring for all sorts of animals; from your standard dogs and cats to lizards, birds, fish, and bunnies. Personally my own pets were a cat, salamander, fish and a dog. I recently adopted 2 kittens of my own and I live with other people who are able to care for them while I'm away loving on your pets. I also have experience with giving animals medication. I work a job during the day from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but am able to spend overnights with your animals as well as weekends or holidays (my family is local so I don't travel over holidays). I am available for dog walking, in-home/overnight care, or daily drop-in care. I want to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible between my care and yours so I try to keep your pet's schedule as close to your current regimen as possible. I care for every animal as if they were my own and currently have no pets of my own which allows me to give all my attention to your furry friends. Before caring for your pets I love to get a little bit of a house tour to learn where you keep the food, treats, litterboxes, litter for the boxes, toys, etc. Additionally if you have your pet's vet information and/or list of nearby emergency pet clinics this is always appreciated information which I hope I never need to use but is good to keep on hand.
“Jennifer did a great job with my cat! She gave Oatmeal plenty of time and affection, and sent me pictures of her surgical stitches to allay any fears I had.”
About: I've spent years caring for both cats and dogs, including lots of time with our family dog. I'm patient, organized, and happy to follow your routine to the letter. Morning and evening drop-ins are my specialty. I'm a quick, reliable check-in while you're at work or out of town, so your cat never goes without food, a clean litter box, or company. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it that way. I lock up, keep things tidy, and leave everything as I found it. If anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away. In clients homes, I will -follow any notes left for care and routine -feed, walk, and play according to their needs -keeps pets living area and play space tidy -monitor health and behaviors and report any changes to the owner -respect the home and clients privacy
“Abby was so great with our cats! She took the time to get to know them during our meet and greet and spent a good amount of time playing with them during the drop in visit. I felt very comfortable having her take care of the girls and so appreciated advice on allergy care. I’ll definitely book again with Abby!”
About: I have experience with several long-term dog-sitting jobs, caring for dogs for multiple days and extended periods of time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including different shedding levels, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. I’m a genuine animal lover and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your furry friend is in good hands! If this is specifically for an over-night pup I would ask if it is possible to be accompanied by a friend that can also meet prior as it would make me more comfortable. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule! I only have one class a day during the week and work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 4–8 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, or just extra cuddles and company, I’m willing to help. I’m great at sticking to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets to feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while making sure they feel loved and cared for.
“Julia was wonderful! She left detailed notes on everything and was a huge help. Trustworthy, reliable, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. I'm already looking forward to booking her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
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.
“I cannot imagine anyone being a bigger hit with our cat. Cierra was sensitive, communicative, reliable and kind — and I cannot stress enough that our cat Babbs was OBSESSED with them. Normally the people we have catsit while we're out of town never even see Babbs because she's so shy — but she came out right away when Cierra came over because they have such a calming presence. Seeing pictures every day of my kitty cuddling and playing with her new best friend were so heartwarming — honestly, Cierra is above and beyond. Book them as soon as you can!”
About: I have been a fur baby parent and pet sitter/dog walker since my teenage years. I am a teacher with significant availability in the early afternoons/weekends and I want to follow my passion of caring for your sweet pets! From the purr-tastic snugglers to the energetic tough guys, I love them all and I'm confident I can provide the care they need. :) I currently have two rescue cats, both of whom have experienced significant trauma, require daily medication management, and have special dietary needs. I also have a sweet 18-pound frenchie named Mochi that we rescued last September! I am super comfortable with all dogs and would love to meet your pups! I have full availability weekdays after 2pm and weekends. I am available starting at 8am until the late evening. I always take my puppy for a walk in the mornings, and would love to add more of this into my week! I believe each pet is unique and I am committed to providing adaptable, reliable, and personalized care. I always follow the lead of each pet in terms of what they are comfortable with interaction, as well as their parents' requests. I will treat your pets and your home as if they were my own.
About: I have been working with all sorts of animals for the past five years. I started out as a dog walker/pet sitter for Cocobear pet care in St. Paul. Best job ever! I learned so much about all kinds of animals. Eating habits, behaviors, different energy levels. It was at that time of my life that I had learned how to care for animals of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I became comfortable with dog aggressive dogs, and people aggressive dogs. Administering medication to sick and/or elderly pets is no issue for me. I am highly energetic and self motivated, and absolutely full of compassion for all living beings. My goal in life is to impact as many people and animals in a positive way before my time is up.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats including watching multiple animals at once. I have a pet cat Alice who I’ve had for 3 years. I’m currently available anytime throughout the week and weekends except for Wednesday evenings after 5 pm and Sundays before noon. My availability is very flexible! My goal as a pet sitter is to care for your pet just as you do. I know all animals have their own personalities and quirks and I am happy to meet all needs!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lilydale
Jayda is responsive, easy to work with, and thorough in her care for our cat who has a couple medications and strict diet. She cares about the animal, and takes the time to make her feel like she isn't alone when we are gone for days. Highly recommend her service.
Michelle was so lovely and I felt like Crash was truly left in wonderful hands. She did amazing with updating me and just keeping me in the loop as well as doing everything in my google.doc to ensure Crash needs were met. Crash felt really safe and seemed to really enjoy her company. I know the next time I go on a trip, i will definitely be rebooking with her.
So, I just was so thankful for Rover, and for Danielle. Asking neighbors is difficult, because they have their own lives to live. One time I had to make arrangements with 4 different neighbors / friends to cover a one-month absence. Rover completely relieves that anxiety for me. I specifically liked Danielle a lot. I tend to be wordy, but I appreciate pithiness in others. Danielle was just right. Gave me nice updates, frequently just photos, but with a word or two of commentary occasionally. One thing that especially impressed me: when I introduced Danielle to our condo association manager, Danielle, on her own initiative, said "Do you want to see identification," and began digging into her bag for something. Martha said, yes, please. Danielle showed her a driver license (I presumed). That seemed professional and reassuring to me. Danielle left my place as clean or cleaner than when I had left 23 days previously. She was just real nice and competent and professional, I thought. So, I am super-pleased with how well things went. I really did have peace of mind regarding my cat as I tried to negotiate trains, subways, skytrains, buses, boats, and taxis in Japan and Bangkok. And that was worth a lot to me.
We can't say enough good things about Amanda. Our cat gets very anxious whenever we travel, so leaving him is always stressful for us too. Amanda made it easy. She was incredibly communicative, sent regular updates, and clearly cared about making our cat comfortable. It was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking Amanda again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!
Great sitter.Around the time she would leave because our cat knew the schedule he would sit at the door meowing for Amaiyah. Very gentle very kind great pet sitter followed all instructions and took great care of blueberry. Blueberry misses you. Thank you so much.
Michelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and a cat! She came over to meet our animals she’d of time and review their needs and care. She was great with all The animals and her care shone through! She was on time, communication was ongoing throughout our trip and we chatted about any updates and any issues while we were away! Fully recommend and we will have Michelle watch our animals again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lilydale is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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.
