About: No matter the size, breed or personality of your pet, earning their trust and friendship (along with your own trust) is my top priority. I grew up in a multi-pet household taking care of dogs, birds and small animals. Since then, I have taken care of horses, anoles, cats, parakeets and my curiosity for getting to know an animal's individual personality has only grown over that time. I currently have two dogs: an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, both of whom I raised from puppies by myself. We are an active family, walking/hiking and in general spending time exploring the neighborhood for hours a day, traveling together for camping or cabin vacations in our free time. It's cliche, but my dogs are truly my family and as a long-time Rover user on the customer side, I understand what it means to have a sitter/walker you can trust while you're away. I love finding people who strive to understand them as individuals and who are sensitive to their needs. My border collie is highly sensitive and I have learned to work within his limits, giving him the stimulation he needs by finding more isolated parks to sniff around, mental challenges inside, etc. that keep him entertained while reducing stress. I am more than comfortable getting to know your own pets' quirks and finding ways to keep their days consistent and stress-free. Pet care is already at the center of my life, as I have two energetic herding dogs. We walk frequently every day to help burn energy -- I like to let my dogs walk at their pace so they can sniff around and stimulate their brains while getting exercise. As someone with pets I understand the importance of trust-building in drop-in visit situations. As your schedule permits, we can meet beforehand via a meet and greet to get a feel for your schedule and space, and how to support your comfort and your pets'. Pets thrive with routine, and I strive to support that.
About: Welcome to CharMollys Pet Sitting! 🐾 Hi, I’m Mario, and I provide loving, reliable care for both dogs and cats in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. Whether your pet is staying for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every animal like a member of my own family. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. From energetic dogs who love playtime and walks to cats who prefer a quiet, relaxing space, I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. When boarding with me, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, fresh water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a clean, comfortable place to rest. Safety is always my top priority, and I strive to create a low-stress environment where pets can feel happy and secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected and have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. Thank you for considering CharMollys Pet Sitting. I look forward to meeting you and providing exceptional care for your beloved pets! – Mario CharMollys Pet Sitting 🐶🐱 I’m available for drop-offs and pick-ups anytime, day or night, and I maintain a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether you need early morning, late evening, or last-minute arrangements, I’m happy to work with you. I have an open schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care while making the drop-off and pick-up process as convenient and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will enjoy a calm, private, air-conditioned room designed exclusively for boarding. I provide personalized attention, daily photo and video updates, and an stress-free environment where shy, nervous, and senior pets can feel safe and comfortable. With years of animal care experience, I understand animal behavior and give each guest the patience and care they deserve. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, your pet will stay in a room by itself, helping reduce stress and create a more relaxing experience
“Allison was great. She was very attentive to my cat and she was very understanding of the needs of a senior cat. I got regular updates and pictures and Allison put my cat, and me, very much at ease.”
“It was my first time using Rover, and as an anxious cat mom I was a little nervous, but Lindsay was a dream! She’s super responsive, detail-oriented, gives the kiddos good attention, and provides lots of pictures! I’ll definitely be using her again! Couldn’t recommend more!”
“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 🥰”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pups over the weekend! She did great with administering oral medication to our senior dog and arrived on time and stayed the full length of the visit for every visit. Our dogs love her and we can’t wait to book with her next time!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Andrea was phenomenal! It is evident that caring for pets is her area of expertise. I was apprehensive about hiring someone to watch our cat but Andrea put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We received daily updates of texts and pictures which we looked forward to seeing at the end of the day. I look forward to having Andrea take care of our cat in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
“Macy was awesome. My usually shy cats warmed up to her and she sent pictures every day. Their food and water were full when I got home. She even brought my mail and an Amazon package in for me. Would definitely hire again. Thanks, Macy!!”
About: I have recently gotten into dog sitting. I have experience taking care of dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I love every type of dog. I am a college student that is home for the summer with a lot of flexibility and a desire to make some extra cash to support myself I ensure that there is nothing harmful to my pets near my pet or anywhere they can get into. Caring for animals is my top priority and will do anything in my power to keep them safe.
About: I have grown up around pets all of my life, having had multiple dogs and cats throughout. As a teenager, I would be trusted by neighbors to sit multiple pets at a time while they went on vacation. More than that, I am familiar with senior pet care and administering oral medicine. I am currently working part-time so I am available and ready to handle pet care most days of the week, including weekends. More, I am able to do early morning and late night care. I can create a safe environment for your pet by finding their comfort and acknowledging what they need within the home. Likewise, on walks, I am able to handle large dogs and other animal contact, making sure your pet stays safe in my care.
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.
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lilydale
Lindsay was very communicative during her visits, sending updates and pictures of our kitties with all the needed information. She was great to work with and gave our pets good attention and care! It was wonderful to have peace of mind while we were out of town, especially given one of our cats has diabetes and needs medicine twice a day. We are very grateful!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lilydale on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,825 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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
