“Hadia did a great job watching our puppy, Maggie. She sent pictures and updates during the day and Maggje warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely hire Hadia to watch our pup in the future!”
“Rachel has house sat our 2 dogs a few times now & we are so glad we found her! Always quick to respond, sends great pics of the pups having fun or cuddling & just makes us feel at ease. We always trust the dogs are in good hands, and always come back to happy pups and a clean home!”

“Emily was amazing! She made us feel comfortable by providing references before our meet and greet, and was willing to learn how to give our dog daily insulin injections with no prior training. She sent us pics and kept us updated the whole time, and when we missed our flight she was flexible and stayed for two additional nights! Would highly recommend her!”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog.

About: I have taken care of rescues since middle school, about 11. Having dogs in this life time has been my greatest reward and joy. ❤️ I have almost full availability to care for your loved pet. I can work almost any schedule needed and can show up on short notice. Animals should be let out frequently and their body/minds exercised. Mixed with a hefty amount of cuddles and approved treats make a happy family member.
“Tyler was AMAZING… he was so thorough about sending pictures and updates of my pup. My dog was visibly very happy and comfortable with him in the pictures. He is very willing to adapt to whatever you need. I felt so comfortable to leave my dog with him, and I will 100% be booking with him again. would highly recommend him to anyone no matter the temperament of your animals! :)”
“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!”
“Rachel is wonderful! She is responsive, responsible, prompt and great with dogs. My two little pups were clearly very comfortable with her. She communicates so well and provided daily updates. She also took great care of my house and cleaned before she left! Ten stars!!”
“Averie did a perfect job pet sitting for us! We went on a cruise for two weeks and didn't have to worry about our 100 pound Husky Waylon at all. Averie sent us photos every day of our Waylon and kept him entertained. She fed him twice every day and genuinely cared for Waylon. We all love her now!”
“Having Zapora as a dog-sitting guest in my home was a wonderful experience. I would certainly invite her to sit with Honey and Yarra any time. A fantastic experience.”

Jackson is the best! This was our first time using Jackson as a sitter and we will definitely be working with him again. He made himself available twice before the actual booking date (first for an initial meeting and then a second time to visit the house before we left). Our dog, Nellie, just absolutely loves him. We just recently went through some scary medical issues with her and this was our first time leaving her since a major surgery, and she now takes medication twice daily. Jackson immediately put us at ease and checked in regularly with photos and quick updates. When we got back, we could barely tell he had been there except for the bed sheets already drying in the dryer! On top of being a responsible and caring dog sitter, Jackson is just a kind, compassionate and thoughtful person. We’ve enjoyed getting to know him and feel grateful we’ve found someone we trust with our girl.
Nick did an excellent job watching Finn and Henry this past weekend. His communication was outstanding—he sent pictures and kept us informed throughout the stay. Finn's been having a tougher week, and Nick really went the extra mile, keeping a close eye on him and making sure he was doing okay. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,928 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lakewood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lakewood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lakewood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
