“Holly was great! She is a lovely human and showed up on time every day to check in on my 21 year-old cat! It was really a mental comfort to know that my little buddy was taken care of while I was away. Lots of good communication, pictures every day, and Mocha appreciated the visits!”


About: 6 years of experience with cats and dogs. I’m my care they will be very well taken care of and taken out for potty breaks every 2 hours. I am a veteran currently in online school part time and love helping other pet owners in need of their pets to use a safe and comfortable home and in great care while they are away or unable. All pets are taken care of hourly or as needed. Potty breaks are every 2 hours. All animals are fed according to pet owners desire.

“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!”


“I highly recommend Chase as a pet sitter. He genuinely likes animals, took the time to play a bit each day with my 12 yr old cat. He also introduced both of us to Cat TV, for which I am eternally grateful.”

“Chelsie is amazing! She take such good care of our dogs and gives them lots of love and affection. They truly look forward to her coming every time and I have 100% confidence in her to treat our dogs like her own.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of various breeds and personalities, from bouncy, excited dachshunds to calm, ageing Airedales. I'm eager to meet your dog and show it the love and attention it needs! I have also owned pet birds for many years, so if you happen to have those, I'm happy to look after them, too! I mostly work remotely, which means I have a flexible schedule and can easily take Zoom meetings from any location, allowing me to pay a lot of attention to your pets. I'll be sure to keep a close eye on your pet or give them space - whichever you and they prefer! I'm also happy to send pictures as desired, which will help you feel close to your pet, even while you're away.
“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!”

“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.”

“Meghan did a great job watching my two cats for an extended trip. She made sure the cats got plenty of food and water when the power got shut off to my electric feeders for multiple days. She also gave them the attention, love, and snuggles they need!”

“Adisa is amazing, and went above and beyond to make our two dogs feel comfortable and loved while we were out of town. Would highly recommend to anyone - thanks again Adisa!”

“Glory took such great care of our cats, Nova and Lyla! She sent lots of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. She was very patient with Nova, who can be a bit anxious and wary of new people, and handled her perfectly. She played with them, fed them dinner, and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We’d absolutely recommend her and would love to have her help again anytime!”

“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!”
“Courtney did an excellent job caring for our fur babies while we were out of town for the holidays. She spent time with them, sent us cute pics, and wrote us a sweet note. This was our first time using Rover and we had a very positive experience! 10/10 would work with Courtney again.”

“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.”

“Thank you, Lauren, for being willing to take on a new client with short notice before a holiday! Lady is nervous and skeptical about new people but she did great with Lauren. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away and will definitely book again in the future.”

“Alyssa went above and beyond caring for our cat. Not only did she reliably show up to provide our cat with the basic care but when we had an unexpected house security concern, she showed up to make sure everything was okay. Choose Alyssa for any house visits where you need someone responsive, caring, and professional!”


About: My husband and I are extremely active outdoors. We're always walking around our neighborhood, nearby parks, and hiking in the mountains. We love our pets and enjoy spending time with furry friends. We have a super sweet 8 year old Golden Retriever named Walter and a 9 year old sweet Cat named Princess (she also loves dogs). We have experience with most breeds after hosting and caring for Pups on Rover since 2018. During the day, I run a small business and also teach yoga. My schedule is flexible to accommodate your pups schedule. However, I may be gone between 4-6 hours at a time. My husband can also serve as backup for potty breaks if necessary. I’m the only one who would stay overnight if we make arrangements for overnight stays. We've both had pets our whole life of various needs so we will be accommodating to anything you and your pet need! We follow instructions well. We would love to meet you and your pets! Have a good day! *If you are a returning customer and my calendar is showing unavailable, please email me anyway. If we are in town we would be happy to still host our repeat clients! I own a small business so I have flexibility with my schedule and work demands. I can be available most days and nights to be with your pet as you may recommend. My husband may also help me if for any reason I have a minor conflict. I love morning and evening walks and happy to take your pup along! We start the day with a feeding and going out back to play or for a walk. Happy to do a midday potty break or walk if needed. Evenings I can follow a feeding schedule and downtime as prescribed by the pet parent.
Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ryan was absolutely wonderful with our doggy! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent, which gave me so much peace of mind. He was incredibly willing to help, adapt, and make everything easy. The pictures and videos he sent were the best, not only did they show how well she was doing, but his funny and witty updates genuinely made my day. It’s so clear that he takes amazing care of the dogs he watches. Our girl absolutely loves him, and that says everything. I truly appreciated how communicative, kind, and genuinely fun he was throughout the whole experience. I will absolutely be recommending Ryan over and over again, and we would love to book with him again in the future!
Maddy and their partner were fantastic. They took excellent care of all my pets (dog, cat and bearded dragon). They provided daily updates and pictures of all the animals. I'm pretty sure the dog loves them more than us 😁. I will definitely be using them again the next time we go out of town.

Kelly did so well with our dog! She sent many updates and pictures and went above and beyond to make sure our girl’s needs were all taken care of before leaving. Our dog is sometimes weary around new people, but warmed up very quickly to Kelly. Will definitely be booking again!!
