Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
I have never felt so safe with someone watching my dog!! So happy with the updates and photos. The best rover ever!!!

Ana is amazing! My pup had a great time. She was very communicative and sent lots of videos. I will continue to use Ana for my puppy

Karsyn is absolutely wonderful! She helped me with a short notice booking. But, more importantly, my dog seemed so happy and loved. I can tell she was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Karsyn and will be booking with her again!

I am sooo grateful I found Mathias in a short span of time and he had availability to take Ralph in. The daily pictures and updates were a plus. I was happy to see Ralph getting along with Mathias and the other pups. The giant smile on his face in every picture let me know that he was having a grand time. He was sad to leave, but I know who I will rebook with when my family and I hit the road for another vacation. Mathias, thank you for taking such good care of Ralph. He slept the whole night when we got home so I know he had himself a great time!

Adriana was amazing, took very good care of my princess. And great location so close to the airport.

Tierney was great! I was running behind she was very understanding. And she took good care of my dog. I will definitely use her again.

can’t say enough good things about our experience with Kiohra she took amazing care of my dog, and went above and beyond to make sure she was safe, happy, and loved while I was away. Delores can be a bit high energy and particular, but Kiohra handled her with so much patience, care, and attention. I could tell right away that she felt comfortable and well-cared for. I received regular updates, pictures, and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. It truly felt like Delores was on her own little vacation too! It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can fully trust with my fur baby. I would absolutely recommend Kiohra anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and loving sitter. Delores is already looking forward to her next

Omg, Jett loved Angie. I don’t think he would want to come home. She communicated well and kept me up to date throughout the day. I found me a good one! Thanks Angie!

Cooper loved his stay with Alissa! Alissa came prepared with excellent questions about Cooper’s care and took detailed notes. She was very responsive, both for setting up the booking and throughout his stay. She took Cooper for lots of long walks (his favorite!) and made sure he felt comfortable. We will definitely book with Alissa again!

Ayaana was the perfect person to watch my girl Zoey! She sent updates daily with photos and I could tell she took great care of her! She was great with communication & I will 100% book her again in the future

Great sitter! She is very communicative, keeping me updated with photos and texts during my dog’s stay

Domonique watched our dog for a long weekend and we highly recommend her! She was very communicative, shared a ton of thoughtful photos, played and walked our dog every day, and was on time with our meetups. We look forward to booking with Domonique again!

Olivia is so sweet and took amazing care of my Frenchie for a week! She sent tons of updates and pictures and he had a great stay. Highly recommend! She’s the best!!!

Maria took such great care of Max! She sent me lots of updates and was very attentive to him. He got lots of attention and affection. I would absolutely recommend Maria!! Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Hayden was amazing. She kept us very up to date about our dog and took such sweet care of her. Benson is anxious and gave her a bit of a hard time, but she never made us feel like a burden and I knew benson was cared for.

Katelyn did a great job with our dog, Thor! She was extremely responsive and sent daily updates. Thank you for taking care of Thor!

Liliana was so amazing with my pup Woody! She was so attentive and he had more fun with her than he does with me I think. We will definitely have her keep him again!

Colin and Nikki took great care of our dog! They were super easy to communicate with. They sent lots of updates including pictures. Would highly recommend booking with them!

Fred looked like he had an awesome time for his first visit! Shelby sent many pics of playtime/walks/etc and he came back tired and happy! We definitely recommend Shelby and will absolutely use her again!

Kelly is an amazing Dogsitter. She watched my husky while I was out of town, and even during the hottest days of summer ensured he got plenty of outdoor time and dogpark pool play time. She texted pictures every day and was phenomenal to have as a pet sitter. Highly recommend and I’ll book with her again.
