“Yeili was great! She took my last minute booking request and my two furballs loved her from first meet. I felt very comfortable leaving them and my house in her care. The pictures were great to receive and funny. Thanks again for putting our worries at ease. 10/10 def recommend her! 🙂”
“Easiest 5 stars for Mary Sue!!! Our girl got sooo many fun adventures this past week, we received at least 1 update every day and pics to go along, and we were so happy to see how much love she was getting while we were away! Mary Sue also took great care of our place and left us a clean home to come back to after our trip. We would be thrilled to have her back anytime, as would our Bumi !! <3”
“Mitch did a wonderful job sitting Kizmet! She was extremely happy when I got home. He sent updates and pictures to me regularly. Also, on his first stay, I got stuck out of town, and Kizmet also had a seizure. He handled everything extremely well, and took good care to reassure me that all was well, and that Kiz was ok. I would recommend him wholeheartedly! You can rest easy if he is caring for your fur baby!”
“Emily was a fantastic sitter for Cooper! She kept me updated with photos and messages, and was conscious of the terrible heat we’ve had recently; taking him for walks earlier or later in the day to avoid it. My house was so well kept upon my return as well! We greatly appreciated the stay.”
“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!”
“Mandy did a really great job. She kept in contact with pictures and updates. She was very respectful house sitting in my home, I came back to a made bed and a clean apartment. My pup had a great time and I was very happy with her care.”
“We had an excellent experience with Edmond! He took care of our three dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. He sent regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear our pups were in great hands — they looked relaxed, well-cared for, and loved. We truly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and kindness. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet 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.”

“Angelica is an awesome housesitter-we came home to two happy/calm dogs, the house was well cared for and she was responsive/asked good questions and provided great feedback (we have a grumpy girl who is tricky!) Thanks SO much for your help, Angelica!”
“Konner did an excellent job of taking care of Nessie and my home. He came to meet Nessie ahead of time and learn about her care. He kept me informed all weekend and my home was neat and tidy when I returned. I highly recommend Konner.”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“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!”
“Maddy and Nicole took wonderful care of our two border terrier dogs while we were away for 10 days. They were attentive, responsive, proactively communicated, and kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of our dogs unexpectedly needed medication, and they handled everything with care and made sure he received it as instructed. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups, which says it all. We felt completely reassured knowing they were in such great hands. We would gladly have Maddy and Nicole watch our pups again and highly recommend them. Thank you both so much!”

We hope to continue to have her watch our pup in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Natalie was an excellent pet sitter for our dog ringo! We received lots of updates and photos, and he was in excellent condition when we returned, he’s previously had anxiety issues that resulted in other problems when we’ve left but he was fully comfortable with Natalie! She also did an excellent job with home care, we will be booking her again!
Sydney (and Coleman!) were absolutely amazing! I’ve had a tough run of unreliable people watching Zoey, but Sydney and Coleman were the complete opposite. They were very communicative, sent lots of updates, and were even flexible with helping when I thought I wouldn’t be home on time. So happy I found Sydney and will absolutely be booking her to take care of Zoey again!
Maria and Omar were an absolute joy to work with. We recently lost our other dog so this was our first time away leaving our Great Dane alone and we were very nervous to do so. They came over before to meet our giant pup and asked all of the insightful questions. Our nerves instantly disappeared. During their stay, they communicated and asked any questions that came up. When we got home, our dog seemed disappointed to see us because he was hoping it was his new friends. I would use them again and again!!
Ariana was fantastic! I wasn’t able to give much notice since my cat got surgery unexpectedly and needed oversight while I was at work. She still agreed to cat sit and was so attentive to my post-surgery cat and gave me a lot of updates! I don’t know what I would’ve done without her help.
Brandon took care of our black lab during our wedding at the venue during the reception. Our dog instantly loved Brandon, and he was very thorough and detail oriented in terms of baloo's care, understanding his preferences for treats and was extremely kind to him and us. Communication was 10/10. Additionally, Brandon was very personable and all my wedding guests complimented his politeness, ease to talk to and how great he was with baloo. I am very protective with baloo and am nervous with newer people watching him, but Brandon was so great and I didnt worry at all!! I would 10000% recommend him.
Mckinzie was great! Excellent communication and felt super comfortable leaving our pups in her care. Came home to a spotless house and happy dogs! Mckinzie went above and beyond to make sure they weren't left alone too long. I know the dogs are looking forward to having Mckinzie stay again!
So amazing! So refreshing to have someone who both says and acts like they love animals. My neighbor even commented that she was at our place often and for a while each visit. We got plenty of updates and pictures! Our house was left exactly as we left it. I'm confident everything and everyone was taken care of during our vacation. Without a doubt, 10/10 recommend!
This was our first time using Rover and we felt very lucky to have found a sitter like Angie to watch our dog for two weeks. Our doggo can be tricky with some reactivity and he bonded and trusted her very naturally. Angie sent daily updates and photos which helped us relax, knowing we left him in very capable hands. We came home to a calm and happy dog and a clean, well kept home. Highly recommend Angie to anyone needing a quality dog and house sitter.
Serina saved me! I had another sitter cancel with two days before my trip and she was here for a meet and greet the very next day. She learned a lot of Bowie's commands and took him on good long walks and stayed in my house and left it looking great. I would definitely hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lakewood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,896 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.
