“Saralynn and Charlene spent the weekend with out 2 pups. I don’t think the dogs missed us as they had a great time with Saralynn and Charlene, as well evidenced by the pics they sent us. We came home to happy pups and a clean house! Definitely will use Saralynn and Charlene again.”
About: I absolutely love animals and had several when I was growing up! From cats to dogs to fish to ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, rabbits, lizards.. I believe nothing compares to the companionship of a pet. I've always been the go to person to watch my family or friends pets because they know I am going to love them as if they're my own. I have two senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a feisty cichlid (water pokemon). I am familiar with distributing oral medications and I'm willing to learn what is required for your babies needs I work 2pm-10pm, Sunday -Thursday I AM AVAILABLE ALL DAY FRIDAYS and SATURDAYS!! I am also available before and after my shift during work days. Just keep me posted, and we'll figure it out. I have 2 senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a cichlid (fish). I love animals and would treat my clients pet as if they were my own 💜 I am very nurturing and would do what is required to make my clients pet comfortable and happy!
“Andrea was great and helped care for Rosie while we were out of town. Would definitely use her services again, we really appreciate everything she did!!”
“Nikki did an amazing job house-sitting and taking care of our two dogs! She kept them happy, safe, and well-loved while I was away. I received updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My home was just as I left it, and my pups clearly adored her. Highly recommend Nikki for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jeni took such incredible care of my elderly dog. So much so that when I returned home after 16 days, my dog was so mellow and content that she didn't freak out over seeing me (which usually happens!). Jeni sent regular pics and updates and made me feel like I could totally disconnect and not stress about my dog at all. And on top of her care of my dog, she was the perfect houseguest and left my place SPOTLESS. An absolute treat after being gone for so long, coming home to clean house :)”
“We just moved to West Virginia, but Sonna was our go-to dog sitter for the past two years. We cannot express enough how great she was with our dogs. She was an excellent communicator every time she took care of them. We really valued having someone we could completely trust in our home with our babies. We will miss her!”
“Watched our dogs on short notice due to a death in our family. Great communicator and was able to handle our 15 year old dog with many medications. Highly recommend!”
“Emily housesat and tended to my cats for a week while I was out of town. The cats apparently loved her, and were calm and relaxed when I got home. She was respectful of my house, and I could not have asked for a less-stressful return home. I would recommend her highly and hope to have her come again.”
“Lishi cared for my pets like they were her own, and sent plenty of updates and pictures which made being away from them much easier. She even left the house cleaner than she found it, which was a fantastic surprise. We will be using her again!”
“Brad was great with my senior dog. He was very professional and always responded quickly and provided updates while I was away. I would definitely recommend him!”
“Our boys loved Scarlet and love having her company! We were so happy to have Scarlet care for them the first time leaving them with anyone but family! Thank you again!”
“Molly was absolutely amazing! She was willing to meet with us before to make sure our puppy was comfortable with her (she's a rescue), and sent plenty of updates while she was watching her!”
“Rachel was awesome! She watched my dog for a few days while I was away on a little trip and I felt very comfortable with her. She was a great communicator and very responsive. She sent updates whenever I checked in. Rachel also went above and beyond when my dogs medication wasn’t going to be delivered until after I left and she was able to make sure to get it and give it to my dog! Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!”
About: Hi! my name is Denique and I have a strong love for all types of animals. I am a 24yr old graduate from A&T University with a major in Animal Science. I have been caring for pets ever since I was a toddler. Caring for a pet in my household has always been my responsibility and I’ve done so very well, although I currently do not own a pet at the moment it just makes me more passionate to care for others. Making sure your pet is happy, safe, and having a good time is one of my main priorities. I am so excited to care for your pets and give them the best time. I promise I will be extremely loving to your animals. <3 I hope you decide to pick me as your pet sitter, you will not be dissatisfied. Feel free to contact me anytime. I currently have a job at a vet hospital where I tend to work long shifts throughout the week. In order to make sure your pet gets the most quality time they deserve I schedule my time where I am available to fulfill the needs of your pet. Your animals safety is one of my main priorities because I want to make sure they are always comfortable. When outside I prefer to leash your pet or hold them for their protection until we are in a safe area.
About: I have had a variety of different types of four-legged babies throughout my life from the beginning and can't imagine a world without them! I'm thrilled to be a part of the Rover community, and always appreciate the opportunity to care for yours! As a devoted lifelong pet owner myself, I understand the unique needs and joys that come with caring for animals of all ages, sizes and personalities! Whether your child needs lots of attention or is indifferent, takes medication like a treat or requires a trick, gets along well with others or not…as long as you share what they need to live their best life while you’re away I will make it happen! I'm currently not working and am doing Rover full time. While I may step out for an hour or two, I am home the majority of the day. I have a pug pup too and sometimes she comes with me on drop ins if you have a socialized pup who’s down for a play date! I live in an apartment and don't have a fenced in yard, but my community has plenty of green spaces and dog park for potty breaks and light walking. I have several repeat clients, some who I have never met in person. I understand it can be unsettling to leave your fur-child in the care of a complete stranger! When doing drop in/walking visits, I will respect your home, your privacy, and your pet(s).

Sara S.Star Sitter
“Sara is an incredible dog mom. Roxy (Pug) who is now 15 is cared for in every way and truly treated as Sara's child. Sara has dedicated her life to taking care of Roxy and manages a career and a life of adventure with Roxy always in mind and in the safest and healthiest care. Not only is Sara's care and focus on Roxy, she does the research to know what is best for Roxy's mental and physical wellbeing. I know Sara will do the same for any living being that she is honored to host, and their family will rest assured that all is well.”
Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second time using Allie and she was amazing, once again! We had some changes in plans and she was gracious and willing to help and accommodate. She sent frequent updates on our home and dog and took great care of both! To find someone that you can leave your babies with and know they are safe and loved is such a blessing, and Allie is that for us! One million percent recommend Allie!
Salina is absolutely wonderful! 💛 She is so amazing with Opal, and Opal has a wonderful time with Juni, Salina’s pup. You can tell that Salina really does have such a love for animals, as she goes above and beyond to take care of our girl. She has even trimmed Opals nails and gone to the pet store to get the specialized dog food that Opal must eat, and always makes sure there is plenty of food for when we get home from our vacation, so we don’t have to rush to the store right away. Salina always leaves the house very clean and tidy, which is obviously so nice. She has sat for us twice, and is booked to come back at the end of the month. Couldn’t recommend her enough! 🤗
Gregory was an incredible house and pet sitter! He was very communicative, sent pictures and updates, and did a wonderful job taking care of my pets and ensuring they were able to enjoy their daily routines. I really appreciate his amazing care of my home and pets, and would highly recommend him to anyone!
Ana did so great with Griffey!! ☺️ She has a great house, nice big backyard and a great personality. She sent me pictures throughout the day of her caring for Griff, playing fetch outside in her backyard multiple times a day, and a walk!! Griff came back exhausted and happy 😊 Griff would always get so stressed out when I would drop him off for boarding. Not with Ana. I would definitely recommend Ana for your pet care needs and will be booking with her again when I need it!
Erynne was such a blessing to us and our two dogs, staying at our home for two+ weeks while we were in Mexico for our wedding and honeymoon! She checked in frequently with photos and videos of the dogs, respected our house rules and took the girls on daily walks. If you need a reliable sitter with experience and lots of love for your pets, Erynne is your girl! Look forward to continue working with her.
