“Paige was very prompt and communication was great. My shy cat even sat on her lap for pets, so she definitely is the right fit for us. The dogs did well too. We will have her back.”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
About: Over the years, I’ve been trusted to stay overnight at the homes of neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages (ex. Puppies, very high energy dogs, senior dogs, and those who are a little stubborn or reactive). I’m comfortable with feeding, giving medication, long walks, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I have a flexible work schedule and can give walks in the morning and/or afternoon and evening. I’m happy to work with any size or breed. I’m flexible, reliable, and always willing to adapt to the needs and schedule of both you and your pet! I currently work remotely, Monday–Friday. This means I’m able to stay home with your pet during weekdays (or provide walks/drop ins at any time), and I’m fully available on weekends. Im happy to provide bathroom breaks, walks, or overnight stays with your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their dog feels comfortable and safe. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Andrea was great. She arranged meetings free of charge to see if everything was a good fit before we committed. She often sent pictures to us to let us know our puppy was well taken care of. She also gave us many tips that were well appreciated as first-time puppy owners. Your pooch will be in great hands if you go with Andrea.”
“Jennifer had great communication and was always sure to send photos of the kitties during her visits. She was even able to get my shy kitties to come out for treats 🥰”
“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 have had a family dog my entire life and take care of her while my parents are gone. I walk, feed, and play with her every day. I also have experience with puppies! Pet care is a natural part of my routine, throughout my childhood and now. Daily walks with my dog Lily are also a way that I relax in the morning and evenings and enjoy them as much as she does! I feed our family dog Lily twice daily. She receives two walks daily in the mornings and evenings, and a few times a week she runs off-leash in our local golf course. She loves treats and playing with toys!
“Paige was wonderful with our kitties. They were happy when we returned, so we could tell they'd gotten lots of snuggles. And she pilled our senior cat twice a day, which isn't the easiest task. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
“Brenna was so great! She was super knowledgeable about cat care in general and asked all the right questions that I hadn't thought of answering. She came over beforehand to get lay of the land and meet the household members. On her visits she gave super detailed recaps and sent lots of pictures, and it was a highlight getting her updates every day, and knowing my loves were in good hands. Will definitely want to work with Brenna again!”
“Jennifer was great with our two dogs! She was very communicative and made us feel very comfortable for our first time using Rover. We will definitely contact Jennifer again in the future.”
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
About: I’ve had different breeds of both cats and dogs throughout my entire childhood so I understand the responsibilities needed to properly take care of a variety of pets. My parents have also been on Rover for a couple of years and I alway love helping them out! This also means I understand the apps processes and how to navigate it. I’m a college student at Macalester college, so right now I’m on summer break. I am flexible with owners schedules and willing to driving all around the metro for visits or at home stays! I can do whatever the owner feels is necessary for their pet. Whether it’s putting pets into crates, or active play, or if meals need to be more hands on, I feel comfortable caring for them in pretty much any situation. I don’t have much experience caring for dogs with special needs, so some animals who need that type of assistance might be out of the realm of care I can provide.
“Jill is so sweet and took great care of our kitties while we were out of town over the holidays! She was amazing about communication and we will absolutely use her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lilydale
Julie was fantastic! She clearly understands cat body language and genuinely enjoys spending time with cats, which was very important to us. Our cat, Pepper, is extremely social, and it was obvious Julie enjoyed visiting and playing with her. She also took so many adorable, high-quality photos during each visit, which gave us peace of mind and made being away from Pepper much easier. Julie followed all of our care instructions carefully, including Pepper's feeding routine, and kept the litter boxes clean throughout our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We're extremely satisfied with Julie's care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She's someone you can absolutely trust to take excellent care of your cat.
Being new to the area we were in search of care for our two male cats while we went on vacation. We had Beth care for our two male cats over the fourth of july holiday. She bonded with them immediately. We were grateful that she was available on a holiday weekend since a few other sitters we contacted were not. She sent updates each day. We would not hesitate to hire her again.
This was the first time I’ve hired Lindsay. She stepped in when I needed a last minute sitter. There was a lot for her to learn with complicated diets and 4 cats. She was fantastic! She Learned quickly, was thoughtful and caring. I was very pleased and would not hesitate to choose her again!
Kelsey was fantastic! Ollie and Lola loved her. She left the house in great shape and we had aproplem with a complaining neighbor (who always complains) that the dogs barked and Kelsey had too many dogs to walk so Kelsey spent the night! Very flexible. She sent photos! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
I knew from the get-go that Laura was a good fit for us and our pets. Our two kitties warmed up to her immediately. Laura provided regular, detailed updates with lots of photos and we felt confident that our cats and house were in good hands. They were happy when we returned and didn’t even seem upset that we were gone. Thank you, Laura - we hope you are available next time we’re out of town!
Hannah was a miracle worker! My kitties absolutely adored her and she sent helpful photos and updates. She is very responsible and communicative, and obviously very capable with animals. I would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you for treating my babies like you’re own!!!
Lacie was wonderful! She did a fantastic job working with my cat, making sure she had plenty of food & water and even playtime & socializing. Lacie also helped with my cat's medication, and had some insights and workarounds when my kitty struggled with it. Thank you, Lacie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lilydale on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,784 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lilydale. 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 Lilydale. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
