“Marby was on time, communicated throughout the visit, followed detailed instructions, and figured out how to feed my finicky pug when he wouldn’t eat. I’ll be working with her again.”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from a Shih Tzu who lived to 17, to my current husky, pomsky, and kitten. I know how to handle all ages and personalities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I work full-time during the week, so weekends are when I get to soak up extra playtime with pets. Whether it’s long walks, fetch, or cuddle time, I love filling my weekends with wagging tails and happy paws. “At my home, pets enjoy plenty of play, walks, and attention right alongside my own. In a client’s home, I stick to their routine so pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially willing to put in the extra time and care senior pets may need, whether that’s moving at a slower pace, providing extra comfort, or paying close attention to their routines. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a student, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am completely free every weekday after 1:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, and evening playtimes. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, my classes finish even earlier, so I am available starting at 11:00 AM. My weekends are 100% open for boarding or house sitting. Because I'm home studying often, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and potty breaks they need. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping them comfortable and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they’re used to. I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and secure, always double-checking doors and gates. I make it a point to give each pet plenty of love, attention, and interaction so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. I also communicate frequently and can send daily photo updates, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Michelle was amazing! She sent daily updates of our kitty and took the time to cuddle with her while we were away- we’ll definitely think of Michelle next time we need a sitter!!”
“This is the 3rd or 4th time having Angela do drop in visits with my 2 dogs. She is freakin great. My dogs love her. Finally got to meet her prior to this visit and she is very nice, responsive and reliable. Hire her!”
About: I’ve basically lived in a zoo since I was a child, ha! My family always had a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I’m new to Rover, but have so much love for animals! I’m a doctoral graduate student, but on summer break! My availability is pretty open, and I’m always happy to spend time with fur babies! My dogs are completely spoiled! They’re family members and treated as such. Plenty of loving, belly rubs, and I’m a proud professional ear scritcher! They sleep inside (usually on top of me in some way). I walk them both daily, but it’s usually more like they walk me, ha! Also, my youngest has separation anxiety and my older dog is completely terrified of loud noises (fireworks, cars backfiring, etc.), so I’m also very patient with dogs that need a little bit of extra love and care.
“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: I’ve had pets my entire life and a cute dog for 16 years. I’ve also house-sit/baby-sit dogs, cats and chickens for family and friends. Happy I’m currently going to school full time so this would be perfect for me to do as a part time job and I’m able to work around my schedule. I understand the precautions to keep any dog or pet safe. If there’s anything that you’re worried just let me know and I’ll be more careful with whatever it is!
“Bronte looked after our cat Pacho for five days. We got photos and updates after each drop-in visit. It was clear Pacho loved her. Bronte is caring, communicative and trustworthy and I would without hesitation recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Excellent. Stefanie has sat for us numerous times. We love her. The dogs love her. She's excellent and keeps us updated with photos of the pooches. She's reliable and trustworthy. Next time you need a sitter or for drop-ins give her a try.”
“Meghan went above and beyond all my expectations! I was leaving for a trip, and our dog sitter called out sick. Meghan gladly accepted our Bubba at the last minute. She regularly checked in with us, showing where he had walked, how happy he was with his new companion, and, most importantly, that he always had company. She was very communicative and understanding of his needs as an old Bubba American Eskimo.I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone needing a care giver for their furry baby. Thank you so much Meghan you're truly the best!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. Growing up, my family always had anywhere from three to five dogs at a time, which taught me from a young age how to love, care for, and be responsible for animals. Those experiences helped shape my deep appreciation for the companionship, trust, and joy that pets bring into our lives. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My dog, Tommy Lee, is my world and one of the most important parts of my life. Because I know how much she means to me, I understand how much your pet means to you. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give Tommy every day🤎 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I primarily work remotely, which allows me to be home and present with pets throughout most of the day. While I occasionally need to be on-site for work, about 90% of my schedule is remote, giving me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I also have a park right behind my home where Tommy Lee and I regularly go for walks, fresh air, and exercise, giving visiting pets plenty of opportunities for activity and enrichment during their stay. Because I spend so much time at home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for interaction, exercise, and care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets are treated like family, not just guests. As a dog mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My dog, Tommy Lee, is incredibly friendly, social, and loves both people and other animals. Because she shares our home, I do require that pets staying with us are friendly, well-socialized, and do not have a history of aggressive behavior toward people or other animals. This helps ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for everyone. I work hard to create an environment where pets can relax, feel secure, and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Communication is also very important to me, so I’ll be happy to send regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease from the moment they arrive until the moment they head home❣️
About: I’ve had three dogs through my childhood/adulthood. I’ve had the same poodle since I was 10 years old (she’s 17 now!). Would love to help take care of your pups too and provide peace of mind while you’re away. I have a very flexible, remote job. Therefore, I am available any time/day of the week. I can drop in or house sit, whatever suits your needs I am open-minded when it comes to pet care and will carry out whatever pet routines you have in place. I’m open to multiple daily walks.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care our dogs received from Philip. From the moment we met him, we could tell he was a perfect fit for Max & Kody. He took the time to get to know our dogs' individual personalities, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved in our absence. Throughout the time we were away, Philip sent regular updates and photos, which reassured us that our dogs were in good hands. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. Philip followed all the instructions we’ve provided and even went above and beyond by cleaning up a trail of ants that was caused by leaving the dog’s food out when they didn’t finish. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, which speaks volumes about the level of care they received. We would absolutely be booking Philip again in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pups!”
“I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!”
About: hii! I have loved animals my whole life! I am currently majoring in zoology and have experience with dogs, cats and bunnies! Very patient and respectful. I have plenty of time during mornings and afternoon to walk and/or drop by to your pups! 🐶 Can work around any schedule for the time being. Currently not offering boarding but I take care of my pets 24/7 making sure they are well fed and supervised at all times. I can work around your pets emotional needs whether they prefer space or one on one cuddles!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up with three beloved dogs: Miley, a 120-pound Labrador; Scruffy, a rescued terrier mix; and Teddy, a feisty Shih Tzu. While they’ve since passed, my passion for animals continues. I regularly volunteer at shelters and have experience caring for family pets while their owners are away. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule and ample free time, I can accommodate nearly any pet care needs. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals set me apart from other sitters. As a full-time local college student, I usually have just one class a day, leaving me plenty of time for pet care. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means early mornings or late nights. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all provided instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication needs if needed. I keep the environment clean, secure, and free from hazards to ensure your pet feels safe and at ease. I also prioritize building trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive, helping them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Regular updates with photos and messages let you know your furry friend is well cared for while you’re away!
Over 104 pet parents in Lakewood have booked cat sitting
Lakewood cat parents share their Rover experiences
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.
Bronte took a last-minute booking to look after our cat Pacho, which we really appreciated. She had no issues handling his picky eating and daily routine. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to other pet parents!
Anika was excellent! I needed someone to drop by and take care of my cats for seven days while I was out of the country. Anika stopped by a day before to meet with me and the cats. I told her that the cats are shy and likely to hide during the visits. Boy! Was I wrong. By the end of my trip, one cat was showing his stomach, letting Anika rub him, and posing for pictures. Anika was also nice enough to give me updates about the feral cats who visit. I would definitely recommend Anika for your fur babies.
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!
Andrea was very kind to take my request with very short notice. As soon as she agreed, she asked me how she could take care of for my babies. She was informative and sent pictures of my babies. And the last visit that I canceled, she was kind enough to tell me I would not get charged, since I came back from my vacation earlier than I planned. Overall, she did great and made sure my babies were taken care of. I would totally book again next time I take a vacation, if she’s available.
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!
Tiffany is great. We left our furry ones at home and she did three visits a day for 10 days. Gave us detailed reports with pictures, every time. My two dogs and cat loved her. We first did a meet and greet and everyone was friendly, which is very rare for my furry ones. The cat is shy and my dogs don’t really do well with strangers. Then came, Tiffany to the rescue. Got the cat to come out of his shell and treated my dog’s hotspots. Tiffany’s communication was on point, her care for our furry ones was above and beyond the expected. Would definitely recommend and hope to be a repeat customer in near future. I could now go on vacation knowing they are in great hands. We are all now team Tiffany D 🐶😻🐶
