“Melissa has gone above and beyond to take great care of our aging pup, including commiting to and following through on checking in on her during a winter storm advisory (not once but twice!)! Very effective communicator so you have all the details you need to know everything is being taken care of perfectly as discussed, and more!”
“Megan did a wonderful job. He seemed to have fun with her and felt comfortable. I also appreciated that she noticed that he ate all his breakfast and that he will need to poop. Will definitely rehire Megan I'd she is willing to come back!”
“Linsey was great with my cat Trout while we were out of town! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos during her check ins. Trout seemed content when we returned. Would definitely recommend Linsey!”
“She was super friendly and reliable, even for me reaching out to her for three walks with only a week notice. Takes amazing photos and my dog seemed to really like her :) Excellent communicator. Will definitely continue to reach out to Michelle!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a very young child. Most recently I owned a 65 lb Australian Shepherd/Rottweiler mix and a 70 lb Plott Hound. I did treat training with my dogs. Both of them were already crate trained and house trained. I work from home Monday-Friday, 8 am-4:30 pm. I would be able to stay at your house if your internet speed is fast enough (not the slowest speed should be fine) and if I would be able to set up up my laptop and monitors in a quiet work space. I would be able to give your pet(s) breaks before work, during my 2 breaks and lunch break, and of course after work. Otherwise, I am free Mondays - Fridays, after 4:30 pm, Saturdays and Sundays all day N/A I will not be caring for pets in my home. I will be caring for pets in their own homes so this doesn’t apply.
“Adisa is hands down the best kitty sitter you could ever ask for. I wasn't too comfortable at first as a first time rover user, and Adisa made everything so easy. My kitties got love and attention while I was away, and I got peace of mind that they were well looked after. Adisa will absolutely be my first choice for any future check ins.”
“Abby was a huge help in a pinch. She was able do to some last minute drop in visits. She got my shy dog to walk everyday and take her medicine. I was grateful for her flexibility and help!”
“Greg was fantastic! He was patient with my anxious pup who is fearful of going outside at times and kept me updated. He sent photos at each check in and was always responsive and flexible!”
“Sara communicated super well and sent me a lot of photos when she stopped in to check on my pups. It was a huge stress relief knowing they were being taken care of. Thank you!”
“Oh my gosh!! Abigail was AMAZING!!! This is the most relaxed I have ever seen my cat after I was away. She took lots of photos and also sent videos!! Highly recommend her and would use her again in a heart beat!!”
“Courtney was fantastic! She watched our cat and fed our axolotl. She sent a lot of pictures and it was great to see our cat so well taken care of. Our cat is normally a little shy around strangers but she immediately took a liking to Courtney. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Leidy did great taking care of our puppy! You can tell she really loves animals and takes the job seriously. She took a lot of pictures and even brought in my packages from the front porch. We were able to communicate perfectly with Google Translate. I'm so glad to have found a reliable petsitter in my community!
Greg reliably dropped in on our dogs for 6 days and kept them happy while we were away. One of our dogs is pretty old and requires twice daily meds. Good communication, even though we were in a remote area with limited internet, everything worked out. Thanks Greg!
Elise was communicative and attentive with our cat! She provided great summaries of her drop in sessions and followed all our instructions (giving meds and checking for improper bathroom behaviors). We came home to a very happy and relaxed kitty. Will definitely book Elise again!
Courtney was awesome with my two skittish cats and one of them even played with her and warmed up to her immediately! Very communicative and sent lots of pics so I knew my babies were okay on vacation :) Would definitely use her again, thank you so much Courtney!
