“We've been searching for a reliable pet sitter near Cypress, CA, and were fortunate to find someone like Sue! She was incredibly responsive and generous in many ways. Sue consistently sent us photos and videos of our dog while we were out of town, which was very reassuring. She even took our pup to the dog park, and it seems our dog was happier than ever! We highly recommend Sue if you care about your dog's well-being.”
“If your dogs are your children like mine are, you definitely want someone like Alexandra to watch over them. I was able to leave Leo in her care for almost 3 weeks and I never once worried that he wasn’t getting the best love and care possible. In other words, I was able to enjoy my vacation! Alexandra is great!”

Thank you, Micah and Jessica, for taking such special care of our girl Mini! We could tell how much she enjoyed her two week "Camp Mini" stay with you from all the photos and videos. I said it before, and I'll say it again, we really hit the lottery finding you both to be Mini's trusted sitters. Your wonderful and trusted care of our little girl allowed us to be worry-free 2,500 miles away for a few weeks, the first time in a long time, so Thank You for that too!
My River is a rescue who has not been separated from us since we adopted him and they did an amazing job! My boy is a very picky eater and they took the time and got very creative to ensure that my boy ate every day, and the videos and photos that they sent us were great! We will definitely book again anytime we need to go out of town!
I’m so grateful and thankful for Marby! This is the first time I used rover, and she made it a really sweet experience. She sent me SOOOO many pictures and sweet check in many messages. I’m so glad that my puppy was well taken care of all weekend, received all the cuddles, kisses, plenty of walks and playing time with his toys. He even made a few friends. Marby was so sweet. My puppy instantly loved her because of her energy. I would definitely recommend Marby 💕
John, Ryan, and their whole family were the perfect find for Indy. They took us in last minute without a second thought and were so flexible and sweet to her the whole time. She was so happy and settled that she almost didn't want to leave! I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
Bella and her mom took wonderful care of Gizmo for a full month while I was traveling in Europe, and I couldn't be happier. Gizmo stayed indoors with air conditioning during the hot weather, and had a beautiful, spacious green yard to run around and do his business in. Bella sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Gizmo felt right at home with them. I highly recommend Bella for anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter — we'll definitely be booking with her again!
Angela D handle my two dogs very well. My older dog Honey was having difficulty and Gigi being younger was would get in her environment but Angela seemed to handle the situation well. Taking them frequent walks calmed them down. She was patience with them which I loved and kept me updated on a daily.
My first time using rover and Stephanie was so wonderful! My pup stayed at her house and had so much fun with her pup and playing in the backyard. Drop off and pick up the as a breeze, She sent multiple updates every day and was so responsive. I would absolutely use her again!
Lindsay was awesome!! We had such a great experience with her! From the moment we met, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog, Valentina with her. Lindsay was very communicative, responsible, and professional. We loved receiving updates, photos, and knowing that she was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely return to Lindsay in the future!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakewood home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lakewood.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
