“Kristy did a great job! We had fairly complicated instructions with two pets on medications and everything went smoothly. Would certainly recommend.”

“This is the second time I've used Terri, she was again, great with our pups and great with communication. I'm excited to keep this relationship going.”


“Absolutely stellar experience with Mary! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and truly great with our dog, Honey Bear. From the moment they met, it was clear that Honey Bear felt comfortable and happy in her care. Mary was also very flexible and kind, especially when our plans unexpectedly changed — she handled everything with grace and understanding. It’s such a relief to know our pup was in such good hands. Would definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”


“Linsey was great with my cat Trout while we were out of town! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos during her check ins. Trout seemed content when we returned. Would definitely recommend Linsey!”


“Lauren went above and beyond taking care of my cat while I was away. She was regularly in touch with me and suggested changes to his routine or schedule based on what she was noticing about our cat. I felt really confident knowing he was in her car. She also went out of her way to take care of our home while we were gone, and that was way out of the scope of what I had asked her to do. A bear had broken through our trash barrier while we were gone and Lauren even addressed that, very professionally. I would absolutely ask Lauren to care for my pet in the future!”


“Megan did a wonderful job. He seemed to have fun with her and felt comfortable. I also appreciated that she noticed that he ate all his breakfast and that he will need to poop. Will definitely rehire Megan I'd she is willing to come back!”


“Melina is great - book her!”



“Mandy was so caring and loving with Sterling, and she was so helpful with his care. She was on time (slightly early) and kept me updated at every step. I feel complete confidence with her caring for my fur babies.”


“Sara communicated super well and sent me a lot of photos when she stopped in to check on my pups. It was a huge stress relief knowing they were being taken care of. Thank you!”

“Amanda took such great care of our kitties while we were gone! They didn’t even subject us to the silent treatment when we got home. She really went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for - including taking one to a last-minute unavoidable vet visit that had to be scheduled during our time away. 100% recommend! Thank you!!!”


“Kelly gives me peace of mind when I have to work long shifts and need someone to check on my pets. She is easy to communicate with and reliable. I can tell my pets are well loved and cared for by the way they act when I come home. I highly recommend her!”


“Janie was great with our cats! Aside from the usual duties, she was consistent in getting three different cats four different medications each on different schedules - sincerely appreciated! I recommend her and would work with her again.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover born and raised with golden retrievers and now a proud golden doodle mom. I live in Denver and love spending time outdoors, whether it’s on a trail, at the park, or strolling through the neighborhood. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup, and I treat every dog like family. Whether your dog loves cuddles, playtime, or long walks, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I was a government contractor and recently laid off so my schedule is flexible for dog care! Available morning, afternoon and early evening most days I grew up with dogs and know how important it is to make them feel safe, especially when they’re meeting someone for the first time! I’ll always do my best to make your dog feel comfortable, especially when I first arrive at your house

“Mara is so wonderful and caring with my little guy - I highly recommend her!”


“Alexa was absolutely amazing and really went above and beyond to take care of and love on two foster pups I’m looking after. Highly recommend!”


“Holly is a wonderful sitter! I have two slightly needy cats, and she easily adapted to their needs and kept them happy and comfortable during our vacation! Would happily book again.”


“Destiny was conscientious. She called when she had an issue which I greatly appreciated. She offered to water plants or bring in mail when we were away. I highly recommend Destiny.”


About: I’ve always loved dogs. When I was 12, my sister and I were surprised with a Golden Retriever puppy and soon after that we adopted a Beagle puppy. In 2013 I was working at Petland as a kennel technician for a year. I made sure all of the puppies were clean, fed, happy, and healthy. In 2014, I was working at an animal hospital as a kennel technician. Even though I was picking up poop as a job, I loved my job. I loved the dogs that would come in to board for a few days. We had regulars and those were my favorite! They would recognize me and that would make me excited. We also had adoptable dogs who always had a special place in my heart. I have been around so many different dogs and I can’t wait to meet more. I’m a stay at home mom looking for a way to meet new people and animals. We just moved to Colorado from Illinois for a change. There’s always been a cat or a dog in my life so it’s nothing new to me. I’m excited to meet new friends! My 3 cats are fed twice a day with new water each feeding. With our current living situation, there are also two dogs. My cats haven’t met the dogs yet so throughout the day they take turns exploring the house. For clients I’ll happily hangout with your pet, clean a litter box or two, and take your dog out for a stroll.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I take the pet’s best interests at heart. I make sure to treat each pet like they were my own. I am off for the summer (work in education) so my schedule is pretty free at the moment! I am available for walks, check ins at this time! I make sure to spend time with your pet, having them get used to my presence and feel safe and comfortable. I am also very respectful of your place and make sure your pet gets what they need.

Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Linsey was very communicative and gave great updates at every checkin for Fig and Momo. My dog Fig unfortunately got an anxiety fueled upset stomach while we were away and Linsey did her best to clean up the resulting mess. I was without cell service most of my trip but Linsey took the initiative to find my cleaning supplies. I was able to come home to clean floors which was greatly appreciated.

Greg was fantastic! He was patient with my anxious pup who is fearful of going outside at times and kept me updated. He sent photos at each check in and was always responsive and flexible!

Destiny is AMAZING! She took care of our 3 dogs - 10 week old puppy, a 13 year old senior dog, and a 5 y/o dog with epilepsy. Not only did she do an incredibly job, including administering medication, but she provided detailed updates with the cutest pictures. You could tell how happy our dogs were to be spending time with her. We will definitely be booking with Destiny again!

Cosmo loves Melissa. Felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Melissa and having Melissa in our home.

Elise did an amazing job coming by to spend some time with my dog while I was at work! She spent quality time with him & fed him as well! She took the time to be patient and get to know him, overall wonderful job and 10/10 would recommend! She also sent so many pics!

Abby was a huge help in a pinch. She was able do to some last minute drop in visits. She got my shy dog to walk everyday and take her medicine. I was grateful for her flexibility and help!

Courtney has done two drop ins with our pets so far and both have gone fabulously! It was our first rover experience and she made me feel comfortable and sent cute pics! I would definitely recommend her services.

Ben’s Rover cards are the best. He always gives a good update when he stops in to check on them. He has also been flexible and accommodating with scheduling.

Sara was wonderful! My camping plans kept changing and Sara was extremely flexible and communicative. She took great care of my senior dog who needs a little extra love!

Christian is awesome! Super friendly guy and followed my instructions to the T! Will definitely book him again :)

Adisa was so wonderful with my dog while I was away for the holiday weekend. It was such a relief knowing Zola was in good hands and she sent the best photos and videos of her which totally made my weekend. It’s never easy to leave the pup behind for a trip, but Adisa truly made it easy and I would love to use her in the future. Thank you Adisa !

Samantha was only needed for 1 day but she had so much fun with my doggy Juno. It was quite clear my dog had a great time with her. Will definitely use Samantha in the future!

Great communication and a fun visit with our pups who were so happy to have her come by. Thanks again Erica!

Arriana was amazing. Very friendly, always prompt with her visits, and sent tons of photos. What i really have to thank her for is helping me out amd coming for an extra visit when I had made a mistake.

Tori has been great for my Mom's elderly dog, Tootie. Mom needs help with Tootie's medication She is always friendly and caring. Tootie looks forward to her visits, and so does Mom! We will book her for Tootie as long as we can

Chea was awesome! She cleaned up the puppy and kept him engaged. Made my life easy. Would definitely recommend

Laura was so wonderful throughout every step of the process - from our meet and greet, to caring for our pets. We had such a good feeling right out of the gate from Laura and boy were we right! Everyday we had silly and fun photos of our pets and details about their day. We came home to relaxed pets and we could tell that all of our care instructions were followed. We will definitely be back with Laura the next time we need pet care!!

Victoria was so great and our pups loved her! She went above and beyond with taking care of a few hassles around the house and making sure her schedule aligned with our needs. Will definitely be booking again!

I can’t recommend Sandra enough! She took such great care of my two pups while I was out of town. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which gave me so much peace of mind. She sent regular visit updates and photos that truly showed how happy and comfortable my dogs were with her. It was clear they were in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for her help and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
