I have a medically fragile senior cat who requires injectable medication. Diane was professional, easy to deal with and listened to instructions. She gave exceptional care to my cat and sent detailed updates. I will be booking her again and would recommend her to others!

Brittany came in as my savior yet again, my sweet kitty got sick right before I left for a short vacation and she was able to squeeze in a very last minute, extra visit to check on him and administer his medication. Normally I would have been a wreck under the circumstances but with Brittany I was confident he was getting the best care. The peace of mind that comes from knowing my babies are in good hands is priceless. Thank you as always Brittany!

Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby. Over the last year we have bonded very tightly. And this is the first time that I've ever left him for a length more than a day or two. So I really appreciate all the love and affection that you gave him. Linda Hirsekorn

Anays and Francis helped out with my dog while I was out of town for 6 days with 2 walks a day. He was staying with a family member that doesn’t walk much so their help was wonderful. I am beyond impressed with Anays’ thorough reports via the app with pictures and notes on how the walk went and how far they walked. It gave me the peace of mind I needed while I was away!

About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

Hannah cared our kitty Edison for 21 days while we were on vacation. Hannah is such a natural with cats and Edison got comfortable with her from day one. The regular photos and videos with Edison she shared with us made our vacation more fun and less worried. We will definitely ask for her help again next time.

About: I have worked professionally in the dog care industry for 3 years as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Professional Dog Bather. During that time, I have cultivated skills that include puppy and senior canine care, administering topical and oral medications, and assisting physically disabled pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to the specific requirements a pet parent has described. I am available 9 am-6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, every week for drop-in visits, walks, and playtimes. My schedule will be updated if and when my responsibilities change. I am happy to follow specific instructions in your home and on your property when taking care of your pet. Please let me know if you'd like shoes removed at the door, rooms to remain unaccessed, where you would like pets kept once I leave the premises, and any other important details about your home and pet.

Haley and Alex were fantastic! Super reliable and responsive, and they were also incredibly friendly. Our dog is a husky and pitbill mix who gets bad separation anxiety and is also high strung around new people. He warmed up to Haley and Alex right away, and they were well equipped to deal with a more high strung dog. Highly recommend them!

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily routines including feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I enjoy getting to know each one. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many weekends. I'll do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and can provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication (if needed), and exercise instructions, and I make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also keep the home clean and respect it as if it were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment.

Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Long Lake on Rover is $16.65 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 1,359 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Long Lake. 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 Long Lake. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
