“Chelsea was great! Will rebook anytime she'll have us. Jaxie boy didn't want to leave. Jax loved being outside and playing with their dog, Trout! She sent updates and pictures and made sure he was living his best life the whole stay! Very accommodating as well!”
“Noah was such a great sitter for our dogs Rusty and Lucy! They came home happy and tired. We love that they got lots of attention and had a safe place to play and rest at Noah's home. The photos we received throughout the day were the best! We'll definitely be booking daycare/boarding with Noah again in the future!”
“My dog must have enjoyed his day care stays with Joyce and her dog because he cried when we drove away. Joyce provided updates throughout the day and responded quickly to questions. She is compassionate, thoughtful, and took great care of my dog while he was a little anxious and tired from a home renovation project. Highly recommend Joyce as a sitter!”
“Resa is very sweet and accommodating! She spoiled my Jaxie boy with walks and snuggles and toys! It was easy to see that Jax felt comfortable and confident in her home! We will use her again, for sure!”
“Angela saved the day! I'm sick with a terrible cold and she took care of Sid for me. He got lots of walks and love all day. She sent me updates so I didn't worry about Sid and just concentrated on getting rest!”
About: Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience. My priority is making sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I can take dogs out for walks, bathroom breaks, or playtime whenever they need. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays and can easily adjust to fit your pet’s routine. I have a large fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and explore. Since I work from home, I’m able to give them plenty of attention, regular bathroom breaks, and exercise. I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment so your furry family member feels right at home.
“Janie was the best!!! She was so kind and caring with my puppy. She sent photos and videos throughout her stay. She is a wonderful human and I was so happy to find her last minute. We even did an awesome meet and greet beforehand. My pup cried in the car when I picked her up so we definitely can’t wait until next time. Thanks Janie!!!”
“Mango had so much fun on her first sleepover! Wendy took great care of her and she came home happy and tired from playing with Clyde and running around the yard.”
“Alex, Olivia, and Apollo are the absolute best. I started bringing Maya to daycare with them, and even after her very first day, she didn’t want to leave. They have truly taken her in as one of their own, have been so easygoing and understanding of her quirks, and are just the sweetest people who clearly love and care for every dog so deeply. I feel so at peace during my workday knowing she is being taken care of so beautifully. They always send updates and adorable photos throughout the day, and it warms my heart every time Maya whines and wags when we pull up to their house in the morning. I truly cannot recommend them enough!!! 🤍”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter and felt really comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. Our dogs were well cared for in a warm, home-like environment, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy dogs and would definitely use them again!”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my dogs! Both of my pups have special needs—one wears a diaper and the other has limited mobility in her back legs—which can honestly be a lot to manage. But Victoria handled everything with so much patience, care, and genuine affection. She didn’t just meet their physical needs; she went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I could tell she was attentive and truly present with them throughout the day. It’s such a relief to find someone who not only understands the extra care required but embraces it with a kind heart. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Katrina was amazing with our puppy, so sweet, flexible, and extra attentive, especially with her injured paw. We loved the hourly photo updates, and she made sure he got great walks and time in her yard. Highly recommend!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and active pet caregiver based in a safe, dog-friendly home with a fully fenced yard. I have a 3.5-year-old male golden retriever who is extremely friendly, well-socialized, and used to an active lifestyle — we regularly hike, ski, and spend tons of time outdoors. I’ve fostered dogs of all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from high-energy adventure dogs to anxious pups who need a calm, structured environment. I also have experience working with dogs that require separation from other dogs and can easily accommodate different behavioral needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. Whether your pup needs long walks, outdoor enrichment, structured care, or just a cozy and attentive home while you’re away, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to their personality and energy level. Bonus: If your dog loves being active, they’ll fit right in here — but I’m just as happy to match the pace of more relaxed or senior dogs too! Dogs are truly at the center of my daily routine. We typically start the morning with a ~3 mile walk before breakfast to get everyone exercised and mentally stimulated. Throughout the day, dogs have supervised access to my fenced backyard where they can safely play, explore, and relax, along with indoor time for toys, enrichment, and downtime. I work to keep a calm, structured, and engaging environment — whether that means playtime, rest breaks, or one-on-one attention depending on each dog’s energy level and personality. In the evenings, we wind down with another walk (weather permitting), lots of affection, and cozy couch time. I know every dog thrives on consistency, so I’m very intentional about following your dog’s existing routine, feeding schedule, activity level, and any specific needs to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have a fully fenced in yard, multiple crates if your pup needs one, and plenty of couches for lounge and cuddle time! Experienced giving meds, taking care of anxious dogs, and aggressive dogs.
About: I love caring for animals and I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs. I have also had dogs with many special needs and I would be happy to cater my care to what your pet needs. I left my career as a mechanical engineer so that I could do the things I love, like hanging out with pets! I am currently available Monday-Wednesday for dog walking and I have weekend availability for boarding dogs in my home. When dogs are at my house, they will get plenty of snuggle and play time. My husband and I both work mostly from home and we love having pets around. My goal is to give your pet the best time they can have while their parents are away :)
“Sophie handled a concern I had as the pet parent with great care and compassion. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing care for their animals. She went above and beyond !”
Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with our dog sitters last night! They watched our dog until 11 PM while we were at a concert, which was such a huge help and gave us complete peace of mind. From the moment we met them, they were incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and caring. It was obvious our dog was in great hands and being well cared for the entire evening. Knowing we could relax and enjoy our night out without worrying meant everything. We truly appreciate their kindness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and dependable pet sitters!
I couldn’t recommend Solomon and his tribe (precious son and dog) enough to watch my little guy. Solomon first watched Rocky for 2 weeks back in January when he was only 7 months old. His care and cuddles were above and beyond and Rocky now whines to have a playdate at their house. I highly entrust Solomon with Rocky’s wellbeing. You won’t be disappointed!
We had a meet & greet with Katrina and Mark and they were so welcoming to Sparky, he felt so comfortable in their home. I really appreciated the meet and greet, as it always feels better as a dog parent to meet before day care or boarding. Sparky has had 2 day care visits and the 2nd time it was a relief that he did not need his anxiety meds. He just feels so at home and I think he loves the backyard! But most of all as Katrina send me pics throughout his stay I can tell he enjoys spending time with Katrina! Katrina is very responsive and I appreciate her keeping me informed if there were any changes that were not expected in Sparky’s feeding and medication situation. Katrina also has this calm demeanor about her and I am grateful Sparky has a caring sitter. I was not expecting this but on his 1st daycare it seemed like he didn’t want to leave and hesitated to go to the car! That’s a good sign! Thank you Katrina and Mark for taking such great care of Sparky!
