“While away on vacation, Mitch did an incredible job of watching over our four dogs as well as our home. From our initial meet-and-greet, you can tell that dogs love him. Even our skittish Pippin and Remi responded to him almost immediately. We felt they were in great hands which gave us much comfort being out of the country and he communicated with us daily through texts and pictures. The house was spotless and well cared for when we returned. Thanks to his care, Mitch is now our "go to" sitter!”
“Michael was great and was very helpful in securing a short-notice sitter. He was flexible and able to adapt to my larger pack. Very communicative and was able to accommodate their various needs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a sitter who may have a less typical pet situation.”
“Juanita was wonderful in every way. Her communication was thorough and frequent and I received many pictures from her during her time with my dog. She left my home in excellent condition and I have no doubt my dog was very well cared for. I look forward to using her again!”
“Morgan is wonderful to work with! Very communicative and received regular updates with photos. I know our pup Todd is in good hands with Morgan and I can feel good about leaving town.”
“Mandy has always been exceptionally great, reliable,communicative & sends thr cutest updates that make you feel like she truly loves your pets. Always come home to happy pups & a spotless house! Thank you Mandy!!!”
“I am so happy to have found Cheryl on Rover! She took such great care of my pup while on vacation. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for peace of mind their furry loved ones will be well looked after while away!”
About: have experience working with pets of all ages, including high energy puppies who need structure, patience, and consistent training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach, medication reminders, and close monitoring. I’m very observant when it comes to behavior, so I can quickly pick up on changes in mood, appetite, or health and respond appropriately. I work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for drop-ins or extended care. I can easily adjust to your animals usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I focus on making pets feel at home, even when their owner is away. I stick to their usual routine, keep their environment clean, and give them lots of love and attention (or space if they prefer that). I’m very patient with shy or nervous cats and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times.
“From the beginning there was such a good communication with Zapora, she and Fiona got along very well and very quickly, she took good care of our baby Fiona when she needed it the most, we are super grateful for all the walks and patience.”
“Maddy was absolutely amazing w our shy and sensitive lil guy. Maddy went out of her way to engage him and get him out of the house. She strollered him around like a hero. She was so patient when he was naughty and so understanding of his quirks. I can’t recommend Maddy enough. She went above and beyond to care for our guy. Also! He was a few days out from a hospital stay for aspirated pneumonia and Maddy took his recovery care in stride. I was so relieved to have someone like Maddy taking care of him. He required lots of supervision and Maddy was there for it. I’m so grateful to Maddy for the care she provided. Sullivan can b a tough guy to win over but Maddy was patient and made sure he was comfortable and it paid off”
“Sara is an incredibly professional and caring dog sitter! She watched our dog, Waffle, in our home for the week while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. She also followed all of our directions and was more than open to doing two meet and greets prior to the boarding. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs!”
“Kelly was so amazing!! We left for 7 nights and needed a sitter we could trust. She was communicative and sent many updates throughout the day. I was running in a race during my trip and she even created a sign for the race that was “from the dogs” that said “Go mom!” It was the cutest thing ever and an extra special gesture that let me know how caring and attentive Kelly is. 10/10 and I will 1000% be hiring Kelly again! I think everyone should hire Kelly except for the weekends when I need her lol”
“Mckinzie treated our dogs so well! They are high energy pups and she took them for many walks and hikes during her stay. She sent lots of photos of them and left our house very clean. She also was intentional at the meet and greet to understand how to give our dogs the best care. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Seth is AMAZING!!! He went over and above with care for our two dogs ( one is a 6 mo. old puppy- Whew!), cat, and fish! He was in consistent communication with us, sending photos, even washing dishes and the windows while house sitting!! We already consider him one of the family, and will definitely reach out to him in the future!”
“Yeili came and house sat for my two fairly anxious pups and I felt they were in good hands the whole time. My apartment was as I left it when I returned, I would definitely recommend Yeili to another pet parent.”
“Peace was so kind and did a last minute house/pet sit for us while we were away for a weekend trip. I know our cuddly kitten enjoyed having her here and our dog Banjo got some good walks in with her. We came home to a happy animals and tidy house. Peace was communicative, reliable and worked with our schedule. I would absolutely recommend Peace to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Kristen was great and kept us updated especially cause we have a younger dog who is still learning and gets some anxiety. She was very nice and helpful. Thank you again!”
“Sthephany and Jeshael were fantastic about sending us lots of photos and checking in when one of the pups started to get an upset tummy (she's a sensitive baby) - we appreciated knowing they were being watched and loved on as best as S & J were able.”
“We will always be grateful that we have Alicia in our lives. She is so dedicated and truly loves being with our pets. She is dog smart and we trust her beyond. Thank you, Alicia.”
“Angie went above and beyond when we had a challenging previous sitter. I trust her 100% in our home and with our dog. Our dog is happy and safe in her care.”
Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Gosh, Helen was amazing with our baby! She was really thoughtful about sending updates and kept us in the loop if anything was out of the ordinary. We are so happy that our pup was able to spend time with such a kind and nurturing person, she got a bunch of great walks and play time, she was in good hands! Thank you Helen ❤️😊🌻
Ellie is amazing! She took such good care of our sweet boy Finley. He loved her and she really made everyone feel so comfortable leaving him for the week. She even left our home in perfect condition! We will absolutely host again and she will be the only one watching our doggo!
💗💗💗 GIO! GIO! GIO! You're the best, GIO! 💗💗💗 Thank you so much for being available at the very last minute on a Saturday. Your proactive updates throughout your overnight stay were so appreciated. I love all the pictures of Frankie & Kiki snuggling with you & hanging out in the yard. My dog children were very happy having you stay; you clearly showed them extra love & affection. I could not have asked for anything more. You are everything I could possibly hope for in an in-home sitter for my babies. But wait! There's more... On top of the excellent service you provided, I can't tell you how over the moon with delight & surprise I was to arrive home not ONLY to two happy & spoiled dogs, but ALSO to discover that you'd tidied up, swept my floors, AND taken out all my trash!!! My house was in much better shape than how I'd left it. You are a rock star!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 In my many years of being a dog mom, I have hired a lot of pet sitters & you, Gio, are my #1 favorite of all time!!! We will definitely be asking you to return.
Krizia is a first class sitter! We could tell instantly that she was going to be a good fit for our boy Tom and felt totally at peace knowing he was in good hands while we were gone. She provided timely updates, sent photos, and was able to follow Tom’s medication and feeding schedule perfectly. Would highly recommend her and will hire her again!
We feel very lucky to have found Janie on Rover. Janie recently watched our 2 dogs for 8 days, and I have to say we never had a single worry about them. Janie is such an intuitive animal person; we know that she would do anything to make them feel comfortable and safe. Before we met Janie, we sometimes avoided travel or did all we could to reduce the time away; we no longer feel that way and have full confidence that she will enjoy time with our dogs, who love being with her. We would 100% recommend Janie to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.
Jenni couldn't be more fabulous! She stayed to watch over our crew of two cats and a pup. The photo updates and communication were awesome and made our travel that much easier. The cherry on top was coming home to a clean space. Couldn't recommend Jenni enough!
Lara was so amazing! She stepped in last minute after our previous sitter backed out and was so amazing with our older 17 year old kitty, who requires daily medication and special food. I could tell they were loved and cared for by the photos she sent and how relaxed they were when I got home. So grateful to have found her!
Chris was amazing! While in Europe on vacation for 2 and a half weeks, Chris took wonderful care of my 12 (almost 13) year of dog at my home. I received daily photos and updates which helped reduce my worry. In no time, she had Chris wrapped around her paw. Upon returning, my home was clean and well cared for. Most important, my girl was happy and healthy. Chris is a great communicator prior to and during his service. I will DEFINITELY be booking Chris again in the future.
