“Margaret made me feel comfortable from the start. She listened to Bardi’s schedule/quirks and made me feel at ease with her relaxed responses. She sent so many pictures and gave regular updates. I felt comfortable the entire time and Bardi had a great time.”
“Amazing sitters, you won’t regret booking with them!! Took amazing care of my baby and gave me lots of updates throughout her stay! It’s calming to know your pet is in good hands :)”
“Melinda was great! I feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her and plan on using her services again. She sent pics and updates, which was nice. Definitely recommend her services.”
“Tabea was so great and took such nice care of our dog and communicated very well throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely awesome. She asked a bunch of questions when we met up for our dogs to check compatibility and sent a bunch of photos during Remy’s stay. Would book again!”
“Anthony was a great pet sitter for my senior male dog, Otis. I got updates all weekend long and Otis came home so wiped out from all the playtime with Anthony’s 3 pups. I was able to fully relax while out of town and Anthony was so flexible to work with. Would highly recommend him and his puppy family for others seeking a reliable and fun pet sitter!”
“Erin was amazing! She was very understanding of my dog’s anxieties and took great care of him. I thoroughly enjoyed her updates and she was very reliable. I would definitely book her again!”
“Kristen is amazing! She treated my dog like it was her own. She sent me so many wonderful updates with photos and videos. I would definitely use her again! My dog loved her!”
“Greg is a clear and kind communicator; he sent a quick update about every day while I was away on a business trip. This meant a lot to me, to not have to ask or be preoccupied while I was busy with work. My dog was so relaxed and chill when I picked him up, it was visible he was well cared for so I can't be happier. Greg (plus his partner) also accommodated me when my flight home got delayed by about 90 minutes. I'm grateful!”
“Amber & Chris were fantastic. They took great care of our Finn and Theo while we were gone for a long weekend. Both of our boys need a bit more attention than other dogs, but Amber & Chris had no issues with that. We can tell that they were well loved and we really appreciated the daily updates and photos. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Erin was amazing! She has the two sweetest black labs that kept Riley company for her sleepover and a beautiful backyard for them to run around in. Aaron was super accommodating and Riley had the best time. I would highly recommend!”
“I really liked Tiffany (and her daughter Sophia). She took great care of my dog Mika. They took her on walks and made her feel comfortable in their own home. She sent photos and updates that my dog was fine. From the beginning, communication with Tiffany was easy. I highly recommend her and in fact already recommended her to my other friends who have dogs too. Mika will be back for sure.”
“Victoria was amazing with my Penny. She provided so many updates, took such sweet care of her, and picked her up and dropped her off. Her son was so sweet with my dog, I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Shakti was great communicating throughout the entire booking process and throughout our pups stay at her house. Shakti provided pictures of her interacting and hanging with the dogs, allowing the dogs to get used to her. The pups seemed happy and well adjusted. She followed our pet instructions and was accommodating to our schedules. I’d recommend Shakti for anyone else wanting a zen puppy experience!”
“Ryot had the best time. He came home tired out from playing so hard. Cody and Nicole are amazing. We will definitely ask for their help again. Thank you both!”
“Betty had the best time staying with Hannah, and I got to follow along through all the photos she sent! I feel lucky to have found her, and confident leaving Betty with her in the future.”
Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Miranda is a godsend! Our frenchie is...well a frenchie and so as easy going as she is for a dog, she still has quite a few quirks that anyone watching her has to be mindful of. It's been hard to find someone (friends and family included) that we can trust will be cognizant of Penelope's limitations but not also get overwhelmed by them at the same time AND Miranda gets it! Plus, I can tell that Penelope loves her since she ran up the walkway to meet her at drop-off even though she had never been to Miranda's new place. It's always a good feeling to leave your furbaby behind when they're clearly happy!
Kayla is such an amazing sitter ! Words cannot describe how happy Coco was through the updates and photos Kayla sent to us. It’s clear that Kayla genuinely cares for our Coco. We’re grateful that she was able to accommodate our last minute request with flexibility and kindness ! Thank you so much ☺️
Anthony is the Best! Our dogs have such a good time we wonder if they really want to come home!!! You can tell Anthony genuinely enjoys being around dogs and has fun with them. Throughout the visits, we have received multiple pictures of the fun and both dogs “have smiles on their faces”!! We strongly recommend Anthony for your dog care!
I was fortunate enough to have Kay watch my baby while on a business trip. Within minutes of meeting, her kindness and love for dogs is obvious. She was extremely professional and compassionate during our booking. My dog had the biggest smile in every picture she sent, so I knew he was happy with her. I immediately rebooked another stay after the first one. There is a good reason she's a 5 star sitter and in high demand! Thanks Kay.
