“Adam watched our two dogs Josie and Gordon while we were gone for the weekend and was amazing! He provided updates throughout the day and took them on many walks/played with them outside - we knew they were in great hands while we were gone. He also left our house clean! We trust Adam watching them and know they had a great time. We’ll be booking again in the future!”


“Alyssa did a great job watching our pups! She sent us lots of updates and pictures to put us at ease while we were away. We will definitely have her again! My very timid pup liked her immediately when meeting her.”

“Brittney did fantastic with my 2 dogs. They seem very happy when I came home. Brittney also kept my home as she found it. Definitely recommend Brittany and will consider her to sit my dogs again.”

“Orima is incredible!! She was so thorough and attentive to our doggos, making sure they were happy felt loved while we were away for a few days for a wedding! We had a terrible experience with a doggy daycare, so having a loving caring dog sitter really feels like a blessing!! We truly look forward to having Orima sit for us again!!”

“Taylor was lovely! Our house was clean when we got back despite our gremlins running amok in our absence. She was communicative everyday and our babies loved on her and snuggled with her too. ♡”

“Jada did a wonderful job with our boys! She was very attentive and had great communication. While we were away she sent us plenty of pictures and made us feel at ease. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future 😊”

“Andrea was great with our 13 year old girl Roxie. This was their first time together and when we got home we could tell Roxie was well taken care of. Our place was the same as we left it. We will definitely use Andrea again for our baby!”

“Rym did a wonderful job watching our dog and cat over Easter weekend. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and our animals were happy and well cared for when we returned. We would definitely use her again!”

“I enjoyed meeting Hannah and my old pup, Apple, connected with her from the moment she came in the door. Hannah stayed in our home and we would not hesitate to call her again.”
“Bianca watched our girl Bindi in our home over the Thanksgiving break. She was easy to communicate with and sent us daily updates. She even picked up some packages for us that were unexpectedly delivered. Everything was spotless when we returned to a happy and relaxed pup. Would absolutely recommend her to others and would love to have her watch Bindi again. :)”

“Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!”

“GUYS! When I tell you my boxer is my baby I mean you can’t convince me that I didn’t birth him. I am CRAZED about who takes care of him while I’m gone because he is going through chemo and I don’t want just anyone. Gess is beyond words. Updates, pictures, you name it. I KNEW he was getting the attention and love he needed. And honestly, my house was cleaner than when I left it a week ago …. 10/10 as a dog sitter and 100/100 as an overall human.”
“Melanie did a good job with my boys (Persian cats). She sent daily updates and pictures as requested! We came home to some instant pictures that she had taken and left for us which was very sweet!”

“Malia did such a great job taking care of our sweet puppy. She babysat him for a long weekend while we were out of town and they had a blast together! She provided regular updates and was super responsive. Our flight home ended up getting delayed and she even stayed a bit longer to make sure our dog had the proper care. He can’t wait to see her again. Thank you Malia!”

“My parents and I have two extremely anxious rescue dogs that we needed to find a late night dog sitter for since we were attending a wedding. Finn and Kas are so gentle and calm, they made me feel at ease since I was also nervous having strangers watch them. They sent many updates, good communication, and took great care of the home. I totally trust they genuinely care for people's pets and would 1000% book again/recommend to anyone. The dogs were very happy! Thank you again ❣️”
“Yenny stayed with my pups for 2 weeks and did a wonderful job!! She stayed in constant communication with me, was so sweet and kind to my dogs, and took care of my house as if it was her own. I would happily book with her again!”

“Teagan did a great job watching Niko and left my apartment immaculate. Very kind and provided regular updates for Niko which put my mind at ease and let me enjoy my trip to the fullest. Definitely found a long term dog sitter!”

“Ruben really helped me out in a pinch when my sitter cancelled last minute! He was great with Ollie and kept me updated throughout the trip. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”

Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
We used Emily for the 2nd time. She is wonderful and we highly recommend. Was a rainy long weekend and she kept the dogs entertained and even walked them every chance they got when there was a break in the rain. Dogs were loved, lots of updates and photos and house was spotless.

Regan was so great with Griffin! He is anxious, but she was extremely patient with him, willing to meet with us before the stay to get to know him better before watching him over night. I got daily pictures and updates, and she left our apartment as clean if not cleaner than we left it. We’ll absolutely book with Regan again!

Allie was amazing! She was very caring and attentive to my two girls. One deals with lots of anxiety when we’re gone and Allie was able to keep her comfortable with cuddles on the couch. My other is a senior who is declining everyday, Allie accommodated by the minute with great updates throughout the stay. Definitely recommend Allie for your pups!

Jen was awesome! She made it so easy to be away from our dog knowing she was still getting lots of love! Jen sent us pictures and updates daily and we could see our pup felt so comfortable with her! She left our house in great shape and treated like her own. We would love to have Jen back taking care of our Chocho!

This was the first time my husband and I have ever used a service like Rover, and Angela did a great job making us feel confident in our decision. Our dog is 10 years old and not used to people she doesn’t know. Angela was super sweet and attentive to our girl during our trip. She sent several photos, videos and check-ins throughout her stay. She took good care of our place and Mo was in good spirits when we came home. We’ve already booked Angela again. I would definitely recommend her!
