“Mitch was great. You can tell he's such a dog person and even stayed late when my husband's flight was delayed and he wouldn't return until almost 8 hours after we originally intended. Our pups always bark at a new person in the house (or even sometimes people they know) but they warmed up to Mitch instantly during our meet and greet and didn't make a peep!”

“Jillian took amazing care of our very needy puppy. He didn't stress while she was here, and didn't take any time to readjust to normal life. Quite a different experience than some other boarding situations we tried. Thank you Jillian!!”

“Morgan has house sat a couple of times for me and been great! Really easy to work with, a good communicator and my dog is always well taken care of and happy!”

“Heather was amazing with my two high-energy dogs. Typically when I am out of town, my older dog is full of anxiety and takes a while to warm up to anyone else. With Heather, he immediately was comfortable with her and was in such a good mood when I arrived home. This is such a relief for me. Also when I got home, my house was exactly the way I left it. She kept me updated and sent pictures, which made me feel at ease. I would 100% recommend Heather to anyone and hope to have to her stay with my dogs again in the future. Thank you, Heather!”

“Kathleen was a true professional from the start. She was communicative and prompt. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. She even went the extra mile and took care of our gardens and chickens. She left the house tidy and it was clear she'd been very respectful of our home during our 2 week trip.”

“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!”

“Maddy takes exceptional care of our dogs and home and we’d happily recommend her to anyone. She’s communicative, kind, and responsible and most importantly, takes great care of our two dogs who can sometimes be nervous with new people.”

“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.”

“Charlie was amazing! We have two crazy girls that can be high maintenance. Charlie was attentive, kept us posted with pictures and videos, and went out of her way to keep the girls entertained. I felt like I could completely relax on this trip knowing the dogs were in good hands where I normally have a lot of anxiety about leaving them. Highly recommend. Thank you, Charlie!”

“Sthefany and Jeshael were great! Our dogs instantly loved them at our meet-and-greet. They were quick to respond to questions and sent us lots of photos while we were gone. They were very punctual, professional, and the house was just as we left it when we returned. I would definitely hire them again!”

“Megan was fabulous!! She took great care of our pup Arya with lots of walks and cuddles. She was very responsive and kept us updated while we were out of town. She also took lots of photos and left our home spotless!! We will definitely be having her again!!”

“Sarah was very professional and a clear communicator. She sent us really nice pictures of our fur babies and it was obvious how much fun they were having with her. She adjusted her schedule due to the high temperatures to make sure walks happened when it was cooler. Sarah is a very kind and caring person. We would definitely highly recommend her. Thanks Sarah!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Seth was AMAZING! We left our two dogs with him during our wedding week and he gave us so many daily updates (photos, videos, etc) multiple times a day while we were gone! It took away so much stress as we knew that they were being well taken care of. He also was so helpful with the house and was very attentive of packages that arrived, cars that parked outside of our house, etc. He also took the time to come over and meet us and our dogs before we left! We will DEFINITELY be using Seth again. Thank you so much!! You were simply the best!!”

“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!”

Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ky was absolutely wonderful in every way. Our two dogs loved her and she was also able to take care of my exotics; tarantulas and a crested gecko. It’s so hard to find someone that is comfortable with that and she stepped right in without any hesitation. She also left the house in great shape and certainly gave me peace of mind while we were out of state. Thanks, Ky!

Kelly took exceptional care of our pup and our house while we were away! She spoiled him with snuggles, treats and even got him a new toy! We were very grateful for her communication, pictures and love she gave our little guy. Will absolutely use Kelly again!

Jennifer was incredible! I would ABSOLUTELY ask her to house and pet-sit again. In fact, she's going to the tippy top of my list of people to call, and will my first call for any future trips. She not only took great care of my two fur babies, but she left the house spotless as well, and even washed the sheets and towels. Totally above and beyond in every way. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Angela watched our dogs and cat while we were on a 10-day trip and was fantastic. The updates were great, and her photos of them made me chuckle - it was clear they all enjoyed her company. She also went above and beyond with our house, including reaching out to see when trash day was and checking whether any plants needed to be watered. Will likely hire again but don't have anything planned yet

Nick saved the day for us! Our plans changed a bit last minute and we meet Nick only a week before our trip. He was a solid communicator and we knew our Labs were well cared for. We have a rambunctious male and Nick took great care of him and kept him on his routine! He even helped us out with a few other things at home while we were away. I will definitely reach out to Nick the next time we need a dog sitter. Reliable and trustworthy!

Brandon was a great sitter for our two Golden Retrievers. Brandon came by before the sit to meet the dogs and understand our home. He asked good questions and took detailed notes to ensure he was fully prepared for the sit. During the sit, Brandon was a great communicator, sent regular updates and ensured that we felt good about the dogs' while we were away on vacation. I would highly recommend Brandon as a sitter!
