About: I work from home and am able to give your fur baby plenty of attention. I have a sweet, energetic 10 year old havanese. We're ready for any activity level! No back yard, but my dog and I walk 3-4 miles a day. I also live within walking distance of multiple parks and love to hike. We love some good couch time too. I have experience providing medications, if needed. FYI my home is a townhouse and does have a lot of stairs. I'm currently working from home. I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks and love to take long walks. My schedule is open most weekdays and weekends. My dog hangs out with me most of the day so your dog can have lots of company. He's getting older but still has some puppy energy. I also have a roommate that loves dogs too and is gone a lot.
“My puppy had SO MUCH FUN staying with Samantha - she’s amazing! I received daily updates and pics, and didn’t have reason to worry one bit because he was so incredibly well cared-for while there. Samantha definitely knows how to care for the furry kiddos, and I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. :-))”
“Kendra is an amazing sitter who took great care of our goldendoodle puppy while he was sick with pneumonia, including administering his medications, feeding him specialized food/water, and dealing with a whole host of instructions from our vet. She was incredibly communicative, caring, and would recommend her taking care of any dog!”
“Short review is Luke is a fully capable sitter who can handle any situation you may have. And your dog will come back happier. Long version, My dog Tucker her has special needs. He was attacked a couple of years ago and doesn’t do well around aggressive, male dogs or a bunch of dogs. The first time I brought Tucker to Luke’s house, he met his beautiful dog Brolie. He’s very energetic but very well trained. I was a little hesitant, but Broly let Tucker settle in and by time I had come back to pick him up the first day after an hour they were already best friends. It was at this time. I felt comfortable going on my four day trip. Not only did Luke send many pictures of Tucker looking happy and stress-free, but was always there to quickly respond if I had any questions. I also had a situation where I could be back a day earlier or not, and there was never an issue if I needed to extend my stay, Luke would’ve had my back. I can’t say enough good things about what Luke did to help make Tucker feel safe and loved. He realized that Tucker was super food driven and always gave him little treats when he needed it and even toppers for his food when Tucker was jealous of Brolie’s dinner. Not only that but Luca is training to be professional dog trainer so if you need somebody who is very understanding, kind hearted, and absolutely appreciates your love for your pet, Luke is your guy. But just not too many of you because I need him to save a spot for Tucker lol”
“Stefanie and her family took great care of our dog. They are so accommodating and great at communications as well. Definitely hope to have them watch only dogs again in the future!”
“Highly recommend Laura & Jeremy! They were super responsive and sent lots of updates with photos of my dog. Their space is amazing and I felt very comfortable leaving Brady with them for the weekend. Will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Our dog had a great time with Divya and Kyle! They sent pictures and videos all the time and always took our dog on nice long walks! Our dog was super happy when we picked her up and we already are using Divya again!”
“Ian was great!! We can tell our dog, Archie, had a great time. The fenced yard and extra dog friends really made his stay enjoyable. Communication was quick and easy and pictures/updates were sent often. We’ll definitely book again. Thank you! :)”
“Jessie was amazing! Very communicative and sent a lot of photos. I can tell my dog had a nice time with her. It gave me the peace of mind to have a nice getaway knowing my dog was in great hands! Would use her again for sure! 10/10!!!!”
“Lauren was so kind to my pup Claire and sent me lots of pictures daily. Claire also loved playing in Lauren’s backyard with the other lovely pups that were there!”
“Luna loves going to Deb’s house! Deb is so great with dogs & has a beautiful big backyard. She is an amazing communicator & I always get sweet & cute pics of my girl daily & sometimes more than once a day. Deb is amazing & I am so glad I found her!!”
“Jeni and Ashlie were absolutely wonderful dogsitters. We very rarely have to get a dogsitter for Bear, so when we do, we have a bit of anxiety about leaving him behind. Jeni and Ashlie were so responsive, sent us updates and photos every day and really made us feel so much better. We're so glad to have a them, will definitely be rebooking for our next trip!”
“Kimber was amazing! She provided so many welcome updates and truly loves dogs. She had our puppy Penny for the weekend and it sounded like they had a blast together. I appreciated all the updates we got throughout the weekend, thanks so much Kimber!”
“Sparky has been boarding with Katrina and Mark a few times already but this time Sparky may have had a bit more anxiety then before because he had gone to a different sitters home a couple of days before boarding with Katrina & Mark. Katrina is very responsive to Sparky’s needs and knew exactly how to calm him down with extra TLC!! I appreciate all the love and care they both give to Sparky!💕”
“From day 1 the communication was so great! I truly feel like my pup had a little vacay of her own in a home environment! Part of me wants to not carry on about the positive aspects because I don’t want competition for dates! 😂 But honestly, I can not “say” anything negative!! But this family will be our go to for “boarding””
“Chelsea and Charles were great! They clearly communicated and sent us a photo every day. Winnie seemed like she had a great time and we would bring her back!”
“Jonathan was amazing. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety and Jonathan made sure she was comfortable and very well taken care of. He gave us constant updates, and adorable pictures/videos. He made our first time using Rover a great experience and helped us with all our worries and questions. Bruno was also an amazing companion and helped our dog feel at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using his services again!”
“Emily & Andrew were fantastic! Their yard is so spacious, which was perfect for my dog because he loves to explore. I appreciated the frequent updates and was able to relax on my vacation knowing that my dog was clearly on a vacation of his own with Emily & Andrew.”
“Raja loves staying with Carly, Hunter, and Tilly. He’s always super exciting to be with them and tired/slightly sad when he comes home. Those are signs of a happy dog. Carly and Hunter are the best!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Katrina and her husband were wonderful sitters! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of our pup, which made us very happy! The fact they had a backyard for our dog to lay in was a huge plus! We are excited to have found such great sitters in the Lakewood area!
Erin was a great pet sitter for our crazy Yorkie, Leo! We are not local and were only in the area for our wedding. Erin did a fantastic job of easing our minds so we could enjoy the big day! She was very communicative and sent frequent updates and photos. I know Leo must’ve been a little bit of a handful, however Erin did not make us feel that way. Very warm and kind, and Leo was perfectly happy when we picked him up! Thank you for making our first Rover experience a positive one, Erin!
YUEHUA is such a spectacular dogsitter! I unfortunately lost someone very close to me, so we had to schedule boarding for a few days. YUEHUA not only accepted our request, but she was so caring, kind, and compassionate as well. She welcomed our dog with such warmth, and she took tremendous care of our dog throughout the time. YUEHUA also updates frequently and is an incredibly communicator, so you always know what it going on with your dog. I cannot recommend YUEHUA enough! She is one of the best dogsitters in Lakewood!
Mike is a wonderful dog sitter! He took great care of our pups and sent lots of pics, was quick to respond and made sure all of our instructions/wishes were met. Our pups were relaxed, healthy and happy when we got back from our trip. We will definitely rebook with Mike!
Erin is a true animal lover and this was the first time we had left our dog and cat in someone’s care while we were out of town and she gave them a wonderful place to stay and be cared for while we were gone. She was very thoughtful in providing pictures and letting us know how they were doing. If we need animal sitting in the future, we are definitely going to call Erin!.
Brianna was wonderful with my Boston Terrier. I had a business trip last minute and family could not watch my man. I was nervous about leaving him with someone I had only just met. However, worries quickly went away as I got my first batch of pictures, showing him right at home and snuggling. I was gone for (5) days, and my dog loved his stay. I would definitely use Bri again.
Erica was great! We got photos and updates throughout our boys stay and they looked very happy and comfy. It made us feel so much more at ease because one of our pups is completely blind, and being in an unfamiliar place can sometimes be difficult for him to adjust. Would absolutely book again, thanks!!!
Molly took excellent care of our dog Leo. His stomach was upset and he had some accidents, which is not like him, from a change in his food prior to her watching him and she was so nice and patient about the situation. She sent pictures and updates. He seemed happy and very well taken care of when we picked him up. Would recommend her to anyone looking for care!
