“Daizy was very attentive and tended to my cat's needs and personality during her drop-ins. She definitely made me feel better about leaving my cat under her care. She's thorough and detailed with her check-ins. I highly recommend Daizy if you're looking for someone to look after your cat with the utmost care.”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was five years old. I currently have a maltipoo who is 2 years old which I love very much. I am always responsible and respectful. If you need a walker, Im always open and available 24/7. I can also offer drop in visits. I am currently a college student looking for a side job. I will be going to school 4 days a week but I always have room for your furry friends. I treat all pets will love and respect that they deserve. Dogs are easily attached to me. Before I walk dogs, I make sure they are fed and hydrated and even after a walk.
“Issis is always professional and the smile on my guys face when she sends rover cards makes me a little jealous ;)- Always a pleasure to work with her, I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your fur baby or have someone walk them if life gets a little busy!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have loved them for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the everyday care, attention, and patience that comes with having them. One thing that really sets me apart is how naturally I connect with shy or hesitant dogs. I’ve always had the most nervous dogs among my friends and family warm up to me surprisingly quickly! I’m patient and gentle, and I never rush a dog that needs time to feel comfortable. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles they’re used to. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I work from home three days a week, so I’m able to provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I’m especially open to longer daytime stays and doggy day care during the week. I’m also flexible and available for weekend care depending on my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, and I’m especially patient with shy or nervous dogs. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions and make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and given plenty of attention. I have two babies of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or visiting them in theirs, I treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own.
About: I’ve had 2 bunnies and currently a 4 year old shitzu. I’ve also taken care of my family’s dogs in Nicaragua. From a Great Dane, Husky, Coker Spaniel, and random mixes. I’ll always treat any animal with kindness and respect I’m currently not working for the summer so I’m free almost all the time. I’m going to school from Monday-Thursday in the fall but I will update then. I will take care of your pets and your house to the upmost standard. I will bring my a game to match your pets energy while also making sure they’re good.
“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
“You could not ask for a more kind, loving sitter/walker then Stefanie R. We will definitely ask her to stay with our pups again. She is good with people as well as dogs. She made us feel safe and relaxed to go away knowing our dogs and our house were on good hands. A++++ Greg”
“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I understand their needs for a fun, caring and safe environment. I’m confident to be a reliable pet sitter for ur furry friend. I have my own best friend who loves belly rubs so I can say I’m an expert on bully rubs and having a good time . I’m currently a college student who has a good amount of free time for walks and care. My morning work best but afternoon are great as well. Whether I'm in my own home or theirs, I maintain a clean and safe environment. I’ll always make sure to get details from owners about the needs and preferences their pets have.
“Marby was wonderful. She took extra special care of our cats, one of which had a wounded paw and needed extra attention. She kept in touch with us every day and left the house clean, floors vacuumed and trash emptied. Truly a great house/pet sitter. Could not recommend enough and will hire her again.”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: I’ve have had pets for all my life ( from big dogs to small teacups)! I have two babies , a maltipoo named Beaux and a Maltese/ Shitszu named Summer. Both dogs had puppies In October 2024, thank I helped care for and sold along with my mom. Can’t wait to spend time and care for your pets ! I am free on weeknights because I work during the day until 5pm and open on weekends from 7am to 7pm! Cancellations - 24 hour notice preferably! My dogs eat at a certain time and I ensure that their water is refilled daily. I clean their pause and ensure no hazardous grass or items are stuck on their fur. My babies get lots of hugs, kisses, and rubs.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for pets now is second nature. I raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with everything from potty training and basic commands to daily excersise, enrichment, and routine care. As a marathon runner, I am especially well suited for active and high energy dogs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, runs, hikes, or plenty of playtime, I am happy to help them get the excerise and attention they need. I also grew up with two family dogs and currently help care for my roommates cat, so I am comfortable with different personalties, energy levels, and care needs. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, and reptiles. At one point, I was responsible for 8 pets at the same time, which taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and reliable when managing multiple feeding schedules, cleaning routines, and individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving and capable hands. I am currently on summer break from UC Davis and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I am available for drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to work around your pets routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I will be extremely thorough and follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, excersise, training, and household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure at all times, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.
“Angie took fabulous care of our Ruby while we were away. She communicated regularly, was very responsive and we really enjoyed the photos and videos she sent us. It was our first time leaving Ruby in the care of someone other than a friend, and we would hire Angie again in a heartbeat.”
About: Your doggie will receive extra care from me as I am a stay at home mom focused solely on pet sitting. We are an animal loving household in suburban Lakewood, CA with a large fenced backyard. We have a doggie door on the back door for our pups to go in and out as they please to play, run, or sunbathe (while I am home of course). I have the help of my awesome husband Ryan and our kids aged 10, 5 and 2. They know all about how to treat pets as they have grown up with our dogs. Your pup is welcome to snuggle with us on the couch and beds wherever they are most comfortable. I have 32 years of experience taking care of pets and have a love and passion for animals. I have very much enjoyed pet sitting with Rover since joining in 2019. I have doggie beds, bowls, toys, etc. here but you are welcome to bring any items your pet may like to have during their stay. I am usually available and always flexible with scheduling a meet n greet as well as drop off and pick up times to fit your busy schedule. I know how important finding a trusted and knowledgeable caretaker is for the furry member of your family! You can rest easy knowing they are in my care with regular updates and pictures.
About: I grew up and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve been cat sitting for friends for years. I love all animals but have the most experience with cats and dogs. I have open availability and here to help. I have open availability at the moment. So even if it’s last minute I can help. I am reliable and as long as I’m not booked up I’m willing to help. I will care for the pets in their client’s home. I think it’s best for the pet to stay in their environment and to have familiarity. Especially when first being introduced to someone new.
About: I’ve had pets since as long as I could remember. Right now, I have 3 babies that are my whole world. My dog, Chloe, is 17yrs and she’s been in my life since I was 6 years old. My rabbit, Eevee, was dumped and abandoned at a nearby field, and I found her while on a walk. She’s been with me for nearly 3yrs now. Then came my cat, Ponyo, and I’ve had her since she was a kitten, she will be 3yrs in July. I have always loved animals more than people, even more than myself, to be honest. I see every single pet, even ones that aren’t mine, as family, and equally deserving of love and respect. Update: My baby Chloe has recently passed and I am extremely heartbroken. She was my soulmate. I miss her everyday. Grief is love with nowhere to go. If given the opportunity to care for your pet I would not only be helping you but you would be helping me as well. My biggest and only responsibilities are my own little ones, so I am always at home caring for them. I struggle with my mental and physical health, so most regular jobs can be a bit too much pressure on me. I have 3 very different pets in my home that each have different needs. My dog being a senior means I have to pay extra attention to her and be diligent with her care. I am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling different types of animals of all ages.
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lakewood is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Anika, was just great with Marie. She had constant communication with me while i was away on vacation. She was also very punctual and very sweet with our kitty Marie. We were all so shocked when Marie let Anika pet her as she is a very shy and no new friends kind of gal. lol. Anika even offer to feed a little stray cat we usually feed. You are the best! Thank you ☺️
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!
Angela was absolutely amazing! She truly went above and beyond during her drop-in visits with Lizzo and Kingston. She sent me so many adorable photos and thoughtful updates every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. There was an issue with one of the automatic feeders, and she let me know right away instead of keeping it to herself. Thankfully, it ended up going back to normal on its own, but I really appreciated how quickly she communicated with me and stayed on top of everything. It's clear she genuinely cared about my pets, and that meant so much to me. I never had to worry because I knew they were in great hands. Thank you so much, Angela, from the bottom of my heart. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I will definitely be booking with you again in the future!
Michelle is amazing! My 15 year old pup has a lot of special needs, she wasn’t phased by my long list of all his needs which really put my mind at ease. She sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the visit and administered oral meds for me. As a dog mom who’s overly protective and anxious leaving my baby with others, I highly recommend Michelle!🩷
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lakewood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakewood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
