About: I’ve always been the one for my family and friends to call when they need someone to care for their dog. I don’t mind staying overnights in your home to make sure your fur babies feel safe and loved. I have a special love for senior dogs, I just had to say goodbye to my golden girl. I have the patience for puppies, seeing that I survived my corgi puppy. I have experience in administering meds, even getting the tough pills down. I will keep detailed notes on each dog and exactly what they need. I don’t take pet sitting lightly and I feel lucky to have gained pet parents’ trust when asked to watch their pets. I have so much love for dogs, I hope I’m lucky enough to watch your fur baby. I can make morning calls during the week any time after 8:30am. I’m free all day during the weekends. I can do overnights with 24 hour notice. I will strictly follow the client’s routine with sitting in their home. I know how crucial that routine is to pets. I will not be all routine and no play though. I’ll make sure to have fun interactive things to keeps the pets happy while tiring them out for a goodnight’s sleep.
“Met Darla for the first time over Rover.com, but right off the bat, she seemed very responsible and dog loving that I had no doubt she’d take good care of our boys. She helped us on Drop In service twice a day to feed the dogs, give injections to one of them who is diabetic, and minor spot cleanings. She was very punctual and provided updates with photos in a timely manner throughout the entire 4 days we were gone. Overall she did an excellent job and would certainly recommend to other neighbors around for any petsitting needs. Thanks again, Darla!!!”
About: Growing up in a rural environment with many kinds of animals has given me a unique perspective on connecting with them. I fed, cared for and played with many dogs and cats at one time and over a great many years. I look forward to treating your pet with the greatest of care and respect! Pet care is self care!! The worst of days can be made amazing faster by petting a dog or a cat than pretty much anything else in the world!! I have the deepest respect for your pet and your space. The only sign that I want to leave that I’ve been in your space is a happy pet!
About: I am an experienced dog trainer, walker and pet sitter and I pride myself on taking care of every animal as if they were my own. I currently teach puppy, adolescent and adult obedience classes and I am an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. I am also a dog pack walker, typically walking 3-5 dogs at the same time and have learned the skills needed to maintain structure and calm during walks. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter since 2019 so I have extensive knowledge about different dog breeds and animal behavior. My experience has taught me that every animal has different needs and that patience and respect are the key to fostering a wonderful relationship. Pet care and dog training is my full time, primary role and I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of all my clients. As a pet parent myself, I understand it can be stressful to trust your furry friend with a stranger, but rest assured that I am reliable, responsive and follow instructions closely so whether you are looking for a one time visit or on going care, your pet will be safe with me.
“Yasmin is the best sitter we could have asked for. She takes such great care with every single drop in. She loves our kitty like she’s her own. I never have a single worry when Yasmin is taking care of our baby!”
“Maria is kind and took immediate interest in making sure our young cat felt accepted at her home. She messaged photos of our kitty regularly, keeping us updated about her wellbeing and appetite. Definitely would recommend Maria for pet sitting services.”
About: I have spent over 20 years caring for humans and I am expanding my caregiving to pets! I have experience with puppies, dogs, and cats. I work mostly remote so I have flexibility in my schedule to drop in to visit, walk, and play with your pets! I am used to caring for my own dog and do daily walks and games. I am used to dropping into neighbors homes to help with dogs and cats. I am able to feed, walk, play, and do some enrichment activities.
“Daniel has been absolutely fantastic. He always responds promptly, and really loves the dogs. He is an incredibly NICE person, too! He has been visiting the dogs while their owner (my brother) was in the hospital. It was one less worry on my mind. I will use him again any time a sitter is necessary.”
“Veronica quickly became besties with my cat and took care of him with so much love! She sent daily pics and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Incredibly caring and reliable :)”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and other animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been one of my greatest joys. I currently volunteer with local animal shelters, where I continue to build hands on experience in dog walking, enrichment, and compassionate pet care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, cuddles, or dependable care while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m excited to help local families and look forward to getting to know you and your precious pet(s)! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care for your pets while you’re managing a busy day. I’m available for weekly and weekend walks and drop in visits. I am available for overnight stays as well, so that you can have peace of mind while you’re traveling. Providing attentive, personalized care is very important to me, so I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pup and I are enjoying a walk, I’m stopping in for potty breaks, or keeping your pet company with overnight care in your home, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I strive to provide the same love and attention that I would want for my own pets.
About: What started at 13 as an after-school dog walking business—armed with a stack of flyers and a lot of enthusiasm—grew over seven years into a full schedule of beloved, repeat clients until I moved away for college. Today, I’m still doing what I love: providing attentive, reliable pet and house-sitting for friends, neighbors, and new furry clients. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy puppy, accommodating a sweet senior dog at their own pace, or earning the trust of a delightfully grumpy cat (my specialty!), I treat every pet with the patience, safety, and care they deserve. I have a flexible routine and will work with your needs to ensure your fur babies receive appropriate and timely walks, feedings, playtime, and one-on-one care. Pets thrive on consistency, so I prioritize sticking closely to their normal routine—from exact feeding schedules and walks to meds and training cues. I stay mindful of safety details like secure gates and closed doors, keep your home tidy, and send regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while away.
“Thank you so much for being patient and caring to our neurotic little Moose while we were gone! Madison was sweet and reassuring that even though our cat wasn’t very friendly to her during her twice daily visits, Madison was going to care for her, let her roll around outside supervised, give our kitty lots of personal space, and show her lots of patience. We really appreciated having someone who was sweet and positive come by our house to check on our nervous, stressed out kitty.”
“Andrea is seriously magical with animals!! My shy orange cat hides from everyone and struggles to eat with strangers, but she managed to get him eating all his meals, and seeking her company for pets! I’m mind blown. My other cat loved her from the get go, both are in amazing hands when we are away and I’m always at ease because she sends the best and most detailed updates, photos and questions to make sure I know everything is ok! So so happy we found her to care for our furr babies 🥹❤️”
“Amanda was a pleasure to work with and she showed great experience working with my cats. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat (Jimmy) warmed up to her quickly which doesn't always happen so from there everything went great. Amanda's daily visit reviews contained photos which were greatly appreciated and I was able to send her additional help information during the multiple visits. My cats truly enjoyed Amanda's visits and I highly recommend Amanda for any single cat and/or multiple cat owner.”
About: I've raised a kitten for a year with my roommates before I had to move, I adored taking care of her and miss my bestie every day. I'm currently taking evening classes and have a lot of free time on weekdays and weekends. I'm very flexible and would love to add animal time into my every day routine. I cannot board animals due to my apartment's regulations, but am happy to watch your pets in your home or take them on adventures outdoors.
“Noiri was wonderful. She was very communicative and thoughtful. Our cat Ghana was very happy and had clearly been well cared for while we were away. We are very thankful for her.”
“My two precious babies were well taken care of. Leticia communicated with me effectively and put me at easy. I would most definitely be booking her again and would recommend her care to anyone who has any fur babies.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lakewood is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
We first used Dolores's services a couple of years ago, but unfortunately, we missed the window to leave a review on Rover. We really regretted that because she absolutely deserved a wonderful five-star review even back then! So my husband and I were truly happy to have the opportunity to entrust our three cats to her care again. This is especially important to us because our cats are quite sensitive to stress, and their comfort and peace of mind mean everything to us. We were so happy to see that they remembered Dolores, weren't afraid of her, and felt comfortable around her. In fact, their bond with her seemed even stronger and more affectionate this time! Our situation is a little unusual, as one of our three cats has special needs and lives separately from the other two. This means caring for our cats requires extra attention and an individual approach. Dolores is extremely conscientious, responsible, and attentive in everything she does. But what means just as much to us is that she doesn't simply take care of the basic tasks — she genuinely spends time with each of our fur babies, respecting their different personalities and habits. It's clear that she truly enjoys being around them, and they respond to her with trust and affection. While we were away, Dolores sent us photos of our cats, shared sweet little stories about her interactions with them, and responded to our messages. This helped us not only know that our cats were doing well, but also see how comfortable and happy they were in her company. It meant so much to us, especially since we missed our fur babies terribly! When you have to leave your beloved pets for several weeks, knowing they're in the hands of someone you can truly trust is incredibly important. We feel very fortunate to have found Dolores, and we're sincerely grateful for all the kindness, care, and attention she's given our cats! We wholeheartedly recommend Dolores to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter! ❤️
Anika was great at communicating and I could tell she developed a fun & loving relationship with all the cats. She got to know their personalities quickly and how to interact with each of them. We were gone for our wedding and I was happy to not worry at all about the cats while we were gone, I could tell Anika really cared about them and we were able to relax on our wedding day knowing they were in good hands.
Bronte was great and very understanding. My cats spent most of her visits hiding because she's new and they don't know her. But Malí eventually ventured out and decided Bronte was ok. Hopefully Malí will tell Felis and he'll come out of hiding next time. Thanks, Bronte!
Meghan stepped in at the last minute to care for our cat when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. We were on the East Coast when a Rover employee called & said that our sitter was hospitalized & that they were looking for an emergency replacement. We had a few options, but Meghan was the most responsive and had great reviews. We hadn't even met her, but we truly got lucky that she volunteered to step in. We look forward to meeting her in person the next time that we book through Rover, because we will definitely try to book her the next time we travel.
OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
I wanted to tip more but the app limited me? Brionna did a great job and she really helped out by picking up a few more days when I was stuck in Barbados airport with all flights canceled for 3days! Crazy East Coast weather! I recommend using her services as she is professional and thorough. Thank you Brionna!
Our pets love Cassandra!! She always goes above and beyond to take good care of them, such as helping to clean their feeding area/space and playing with them lots. She also takes great/cute pics of our cats and we feel they are safe and well loved while we’re gone. We can tell our cats are at ease with her. Thank you so much for your help, especially your attention and care for the pets!!

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.

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.
