About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child, and love all animals. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to give my attention to your furry family member. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility to set my own schedule to accommodate taking care of pets. I am also able to leave the house to provide care in your home or to provide walks throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard and a super friendly goldendoodle to keep your furry friends company. I'm also able to create separate spaces within my home for maximum comfort as needed. I am also able to come to your home or travel to your neighborhood to provide walks. My dog is a part of my family and I would treat your pet the same.
About: As a pet sitter, my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each furry friend sets me apart. I prioritize building strong bonds with pets, ensuring their comfort and happiness while their owners are away. With a keen eye for detail and a genuine love for animals, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of every pet, creating a safe and loving environment that owners can trust. I am currently in high school so i’ll have lots of time for the pups! I can walk and boarding on weekdays anytime after 4 pm and on weekends it will truly depend on the basketball schedule but I’ll be able to do whatever is needed anytime after 9 am. At home, I pamper my pets with love, playtime, and regular walks. As a professional, I offer reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and personalized care for clients' furry companions.
“My cat Rita is very shy and generally hates meeting new people. However, she loved Denise and opened up to her instantly. Denise was attentive, caring, and always made sure Rita got the attention and love she needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Denise to anyone who wants their pet to be well taken care of!”
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.
About: Ive taken care of great pyrenees ever since I was 10, my first was a boy, who was mixed and now I own two females all white. I adopted an 11 year old hospice cat and gave her a safe and final resting loving home. It was a honor and every cat I've adopted from shelters since, old or young has been a treasure. I love taking care of animals because I understand them and they love me. I am indigenous to the Caribbean so maybe it's the native epistemology. I am a full time online student. My classes do not meet and I go on the schedule I select for myself to finish my tasks. I have been so eager to get into pet care because it's perfect for my schedule. Im free all day, night, week, and weekend. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks, and feel safe and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including any medications, special diets, or routines. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a clean, stress-free environment and keeping owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.
About: My husband and I are extremely active outdoors. We're always walking around our neighborhood, nearby parks, and hiking in the mountains. We love our pets and enjoy spending time with furry friends. We have a super sweet 8 year old Golden Retriever named Walter and a 9 year old sweet Cat named Princess (she also loves dogs). We have experience with most breeds after hosting and caring for Pups on Rover since 2018. During the day, I run a small business and also teach yoga. My schedule is flexible to accommodate your pups schedule. However, I may be gone between 4-6 hours at a time. My husband can also serve as backup for potty breaks if necessary. I’m the only one who would stay overnight if we make arrangements for overnight stays. We've both had pets our whole life of various needs so we will be accommodating to anything you and your pet need! We follow instructions well. We would love to meet you and your pets! Have a good day! *If you are a returning customer and my calendar is showing unavailable, please email me anyway. If we are in town we would be happy to still host our repeat clients! I own a small business so I have flexibility with my schedule and work demands. I can be available most days and nights to be with your pet as you may recommend. My husband may also help me if for any reason I have a minor conflict. I love morning and evening walks and happy to take your pup along! We start the day with a feeding and going out back to play or for a walk. Happy to do a midday potty break or walk if needed. Evenings I can follow a feeding schedule and downtime as prescribed by the pet parent.

I can also house sit, on weekdays and weekends.

About: I’m a calm, reliable, and attentive pet sitter who understands that every pet has different needs and personalities. As a longtime dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My dog Charlie was part of my life for 14 years, so I understand the level of care, patience, and love pets deserve at every stage of life, from energetic younger dogs to seniors who need a gentler approach. I’m especially patient with anxious or high-energy dogs and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, sticking to routines, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also believe strong communication matters, so I make sure owners feel informed and at ease with regular updates and photos. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being active, going on walks, and spending time with animals. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, a slower pace for senior dogs, or helping anxious pets feel more at ease. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and peace of mind are when someone else is caring for your pet, and I genuinely treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, follow care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel informed and confident their pet is being well cared for.
“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!”
“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.”

Your pets happiness and safety are my top priorities. I'll treat them like family and keep you updated every step of the way! I have a full-part time job so fitting in dogs walks, feedings or overnight stays wouldn't be a problem at all. Monday-Friday daily check-ins and Friday-sunday I,m available overnight. I have a large fenced in yard that provides lots of space for my 3 dogs to run and play! I have so many toys for them if I'd get another one they're toy bin would be overflowing! My fur babies get fed 1-2 times a day.
“Jasmin is amazing! Went above and beyond helping out with our 3 dogs! Very professional and treated our pups amazing. Every day I received updates on the day, which helped relieve some stress. Highly recommend and would book again. Thanks for everything!”
About: Experienced with and love helping 1,2,3 pet households and catering to each pet’s needs. Have cared for elderly dogs and cats, and diabetic cats. I’m comfortable with large dogs and if your dog wants, they can get a robust hike or walk, or a nice walk in the neighborhood. Also a trained wrangler for horse care (yes, equine), and experience with chickens and other small stock. I work 50-50 in office and from home and can be flexible with my schedule for weekend or weekday needs. Open to last minute requests.

“Jasmine is absolutely wonderful! Every time she’s taken care of Zoey she has done an amazing job and is always so reliable. I will always recommend her to anyone and will use her to care for Zoey every time I can!”
“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.”
“Savannah did an amazing job sitting for our dogs. Her promptness, communication, and attention to detail were excellent throughout the entire stay. She handled our dogs with care and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended for anyone on Rover. We will be using her again for sure.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Laney was amazing with our two pups! We had excellent communication, prompt responses and kept us updated with her visits. We LOVED the pictures she sent of our boys playing. Our dogs are big and she did an amazing job with them. Theyre so so happy and cant wait to see her again!
Haley is helping us with our people nervous/shy pup and she is great! It is clear she understands dog body language and will meet the dog where they are at. Our pup, Finn, adjusted really well to Haley at our first meet n greet. Would highly recommend to anyone with a dog that needs a bit of extra care.
Nick was absolutely wonderful to our girls! He was available last minute when our original sitter fell through, and his response time was great. Our dogs both took to him immediately; you can tell he’s a dog person! He was very communicative, took lots of adorable photos, and gave detailed visit reviews on the “report card”. He took extra care with one of our dogs who had recent TPLO surgery and administered her meds and special diet which put our minds at ease. We cannot recommend Nick enough and we would definitely book again!
Sara was great! She responded quickly to our last minute request for drop in visits/walks for our 5 month old lab/shepherd mix and made time for a meet and greet prior to the date of the visits! I appreciated how she clocked the walks in through the app and provided pictures on every walk! She was very communicative when our young dog had an accident while getting ready on the first day. Thank you Sara!!!
Megan was a huge help for me on short notice! My dog Ollie can sometimes be nervous around new people, but he immediately loved Megan. She has a very calm presence and was so sweet with Ollie. She followed my instructions perfectly and got some adorable pictures too 🙂 I will definitely be booking with Megan again!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
