“Holly is kind, thoughtful, and communicative! She also sent some great photos each day she was with our cat Daisy. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone gentle to spend some time with your pet. 😊”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have over 5 years of hands-on experience as the primary caregiver for my own senior dog. Growing up in a family of dog lovers, I was always surrounded by dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need plenty of exercise and engagement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and treating them like family. I’m a teacher who has recently started summer break, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m especially available during typical work hours, making me a great option for midday walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, or extended care while you’re at work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a drop-in visit, I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Melina did a great job keeping Rosie company while I had to travel out of town for work. She is dependable and took great care of my dog. I would absolutely have her back.”
About: Hi, i’m Risa! I’m 28 years old and living in Lakewood with my 5yr old cat named Ponyo. P.S. she’s fully trained to sit, spin and jump! I have had pets from birds and rabbits, to cats and dogs all my life. I have experience walking breeds like Dachshunds, Belgian Malinois, Doodles, and more, as well as many years sitting for both dogs and cats. Additionally, I have my certificate of completion for the Fear Free Program to better help reduce and prevent fear, stress, anxiety, and frustration in pets. I’d love to meet your cats and dogs, and make sure they get all the exercise, stimulation and TLC they need while you’re away! I work remotely for a nonprofit, but I have time to do more, so i’m looking to help care for pets as well! My schedule is flexible, so i’m happy to make your schedule my priority. When meeting cats and dogs for the first time, i’m careful to watch for any behavioral signs that might tell me they need space, or more time to warm up. I know the power of a good treat, and make sure to use plenty so your pet knows i’m their friend! I pay close attention to each animal’s needs and boundaries, and also where they like to be scratched or pet best!
“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!”
“Thank you for watching over Bruno. Brooke was very communicative from the very beginning , arrived on time, followed the instructions we gave her really well and made sure our puppy was happy during her time with him. Highly recommend her!”
“Jasmine is absolutely wonderful! Every time she’s taken care of Zoey she has done an amazing job and is always so reliable. I will always recommend her to anyone and will use her to care for Zoey every time I can!”
“Courtney took great care of my 2 kitties and their special needs of staying separated when unsupervised. She is a responsible, trustworthy, reliable, and a genuinely kind pet sitter. We will definitely rebook! Thank you for loving on my kitties like they're your own!”
“Sara is an excellent pet sitter. I always know my pets will be well cared for when I am away. I also appreciate the fact that she sends several photos each day to let me see that my pets are happy and healthy.”
About: I’m a calm, reliable, and attentive pet sitter who understands that every pet has different needs and personalities. As a longtime dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My dog Charlie was part of my life for 14 years, so I understand the level of care, patience, and love pets deserve at every stage of life, from energetic younger dogs to seniors who need a gentler approach. I’m especially patient with anxious or high-energy dogs and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, sticking to routines, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also believe strong communication matters, so I make sure owners feel informed and at ease with regular updates and photos. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being active, going on walks, and spending time with animals. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, a slower pace for senior dogs, or helping anxious pets feel more at ease. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and peace of mind are when someone else is caring for your pet, and I genuinely treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, follow care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel informed and confident their pet is being well cared for.
“Megan was great and super communicative on how our dogs were doing. She accommodated to their needs and took the time to not only walk them but spend some time with them afterwards!”
“Hilary is an amazing pet sitter. She provides thorough and thoughtful updates for all 3 of our cats. She follows all care instructions and sends great pics with each update. We’re lucky we found her!”
“Kristen took great care of our young, playful cats while we were new to the neighborhood and needed to travel. She was super responsive, kind, and communicative. Will definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“I so appreciate that Alyssa was available to check in on my cat on Christmas Eve with only a few days notice. My cat is shy with people that he doesn't know well, and I am glad she has been able to come care for him several times. It always helps to ease my worries about him when we are away.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Currently have three standard poodles (spayed and neutered) and well trained. Large back yard and local park near by to walk my dog and yours! Educator by day and pet lover 24/7. Regularly free Friday night through the weekend. Completely free during summer break (June - August). Doggy door to large back yard during the day. Plenty of parks near by for frequent walks and throwing the ball. I have a large fenced in back yard. Many parks nearby include O’Kane park, bear creek, and sloane’s lake. Happy to walk your dog. Plenty of space in the house. Love loving on pups in the bed!
About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I find myself with an empty cup when not able to be around them. I have 10+ years of experience of meeting all the needs our dog pals have and more! I’m extremely communicative and want to continue creating a safe and loving environment for your pet. I’m currently working full time with lots of flexibility in my schedule to come throughout the day (2-3 times in a day/as needed) to the home as well being able to stay overnight at your request. I care for pets in my home and your home in my best capacity with compassion and care trying to meet their needs and wants. This looks like continuing to meet their routine scheduled needs of your pet. As well as trying to develop a relationship with your pet built on trust and insuring they don’t get bored 😁
“Janie was great with our cats! Aside from the usual duties, she was consistent in getting three different cats four different medications each on different schedules - sincerely appreciated! I recommend her and would work with her again.”
Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kathleen really helped us out last-minute by stopping by twice to check on our senior dog and help him get outside to go potty while we were gone for 11 hours. We came home to a happy dog and zero accidents in the house. She was communicative and flexible in coordinating timing.
I have an aging kitty and leaving her for one night is quite difficult. Lara met me and affirmed her ability to take care of Sascha and communicate her condition. I was reassured by Lara's pictures and timely reports. She was most attentive to Sascha's needs. A huge relief for me. Lara understood my concerns and addressed them perfectly. Great to work with. Highly recommend. Happy to say Sascha has a new friend.
Zapora was great with our girls and very flexible. One of our dogs can be pretty reactive out of fear, so we have to manage her outside time to avoid when the neighbor dog is out. I also asked her to change our drop in time more than once because I was trying to work with my husband’s weird schedule, and she was super flexible and accommodating. Zapora handled everything perfectly and both our pups had a great time during her drop in. Thanks so much Zapora!
Ari and Sarah were excellent with Queso and Nugget! They sent us a whole lot of pictures and videos while we are away and went the extra mile to take care of our two cats! They brought a new toy and that really excited both the little ones! They were also very kind and communicative!
Nick was absolutely wonderful to our girls! He was available last minute when our original sitter fell through, and his response time was great. Our dogs both took to him immediately; you can tell he’s a dog person! He was very communicative, took lots of adorable photos, and gave detailed visit reviews on the “report card”. He took extra care with one of our dogs who had recent TPLO surgery and administered her meds and special diet which put our minds at ease. We cannot recommend Nick enough and we would definitely book again!
Sara was great! She responded quickly to our last minute request for drop in visits/walks for our 5 month old lab/shepherd mix and made time for a meet and greet prior to the date of the visits! I appreciated how she clocked the walks in through the app and provided pictures on every walk! She was very communicative when our young dog had an accident while getting ready on the first day. Thank you Sara!!!
We’re so happy to have found Blair - she is such a down to earth and genuine person who carefully followed care instructions for our senior kitty, Bella. She checked in, sent photos, and was happy to meet Bella on her terms which was so helpful in gaining her trust. We would happily choose Blair again to look after Bella for us and recommend her to all pet owners seeking care, too! Thanks so much again Blair! You’re the best!
Megan was a huge help for me on short notice! My dog Ollie can sometimes be nervous around new people, but he immediately loved Megan. She has a very calm presence and was so sweet with Ollie. She followed my instructions perfectly and got some adorable pictures too 🙂 I will definitely be booking with Megan again!
