About: I've taken care of dogs of various breeds and personalities, from bouncy, excited dachshunds to calm, ageing Airedales. I'm eager to meet your dog and show it the love and attention it needs! I have also owned pet birds for many years, so if you happen to have those, I'm happy to look after them, too! I mostly work remotely, which means I have a flexible schedule and can easily take Zoom meetings from any location, allowing me to pay a lot of attention to your pets. I'll be sure to keep a close eye on your pet or give them space - whichever you and they prefer! I'm also happy to send pictures as desired, which will help you feel close to your pet, even while you're away.
“Marissa is amazing! She went above and beyond for drop in visits, and she is soooo sweet and nice with our shy cats, kept us posted for all situations, it made our trip so much better since we were not worried about the cats! Thank you Marissa!!”
“Holly was great! She is a lovely human and showed up on time every day to check in on my 21 year-old cat! It was really a mental comfort to know that my little buddy was taken care of while I was away. Lots of good communication, pictures every day, and Mocha appreciated the visits!”
About: I am a life long pet owner and animal love of all kinds, I am trusted w friends and family’s pet and comfortable with different routines and pet personalities. I am available and flexible during the week, since I am transitioning between jobs and I can also be flexible on Saturdays. I am pretty open to what your needs require Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in my presence is very important to me. I like to take time for your pet to get used to me and will never force them to do anything they are clearly uncomfortable with. Before leaving a home, I always make sure they have water, they’re given a treat (I will fill a food bowl if necessary as well) and plenty of love and attention before I go.
About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!

“Kristen took great care of our young, playful cats while we were new to the neighborhood and needed to travel. She was super responsive, kind, and communicative. Will definitely use her as a sitter again!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for most of my life. We had a family dog who lived to be 18 years old and I also was the neighborhood go to for pet sitting while growing up. My schedule is very open right now. I’m open to hanging with pets pretty much any time and any day! I will work your needs into my schedule. I live in a second story condo with a balcony. I have plenty of grassy outdoor space to take pets outside. I can let the pets hang out on the balcony with or without supervision.

Highly recommend. Happy to say Sascha has a new friend.”

Lakewood cat parents share their Rover experiences
We’ve had many Rovers do drop-in visits for our 2 cats and Makenna was by far the best! The litter box was thoroughly cleaned better than any other Rover in the past and our very shy cat warmed up to her to the point of purring!! When we returned our cats were calm and happy. We will definitely book her again!!
Anna is communicative, reliable, responsive, kind, easy to schedule and talk with and took great care of my cats when I was out of town for a week! She listened to my requests and gave me updates each day. I would trust Anna again to come into my home and take care of my kitties. Thank you!!
Holly is a ray of sunshine and my cat who is very skittish came right up to her and befriended her. She was very accomodating to come the day before on short notice to show her the ropes and how to get into a difficult to find apartment. Meeting her and speaking with her, truly made my day and turned around a very challenging week. Definitely will be booking her again.

Ari and Sarah were excellent with Queso and Nugget! They sent us a whole lot of pictures and videos while we are away and went the extra mile to take care of our two cats! They brought a new toy and that really excited both the little ones! They were also very kind and communicative!
We’re so happy to have found Blair - she is such a down to earth and genuine person who carefully followed care instructions for our senior kitty, Bella. She checked in, sent photos, and was happy to meet Bella on her terms which was so helpful in gaining her trust. We would happily choose Blair again to look after Bella for us and recommend her to all pet owners seeking care, too! Thanks so much again Blair! You’re the best!
