“Yekatarina has been taking wonderful care of my mom's two cats. She sends beautiful photos and has been excellent at communicating and helping us with last minute bookings. Highly recommended!”
“She did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Trixie. She pampered her with lots of love, attention, & treats. We recommend her to anyone who's looking for a dog sitter! :)”
“Thank You Viji. Viji took great care of our dear doggo. She sent regular pictures and videos. She went above and beyond on making sure he ate his food everyday. When needed we will definitely come back to her to take care of our doggo.”
“I needed a last minute one night boarding for my VERY active 1 year old pup. She was very fast to reply to my messages during the entire process and Cooper came home exhausted which tells me he had a blast there!”
“Laura watched my four year old foxhound, Piper over Spring Break. Piper was homesick at first but Laura took special care to help her get adjusted. (She sent me pictures of my 45 lb dog sitting on her lap!) Laura was very communicative sending daily texts, photos, and videos. Piper looked so cute in her St. Patty’s Day scarf she provided. The dogs were very relaxed and were having a good time. Also, her house is away from a busy road for dog walk safety. Laura even made the extra effort to wash Piper’s dog bed before she went home. I highly recommend Laura! She is very caring and attentive.”
“Lindsey & Jose took great care of my pup! They have a wonderful family who all loved on him and made him feel at home. He enjoyed playing with their dogs and running around outside in their fenced yard. They sent pictures and were very responsive. I highly recommend Lindsey & Jose for your pup!”

“Very grateful for Rachel’s fast response to my last minute need for a pet sitter for 10 days! Rachel was super flexible to meet me and HUGS and take him into her home. She also provided picture mail updates which was a great treat! Even when my plans changed, Rachel and family willingly kept HUGS an extra unplanned night with late notice. I definitely recommend her and will be a returning client! Thanks again!”
“This is our second stay with Sylvia and she treated our dog Bentley so well. She even noticed he was not eating very much of his food and went to the store to buy him a rotisserie chicken to make sure he was getting enough food! We will definitely be booking with Sylvia again anytime we need someone to watch our dog. Thank you, Sylvia!”
“Clarissa is amazing! Great communication and even sent pictures during our time away! My crazy pup came home exhausted! She even taught her how to sleep without being in a crate or in the bed with us and she is doing well not messing in the house when we are resting! I am so grateful! We booked again and will continue to book every trip we can with her and her amazing family!”

She sent multiple pictures of Lucy during her time there ensuring she was having a good time.This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service as I’ve always been skeptical of leaving her with strangers.

Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Finding Rosangela was the biggest blessing in the world! We immediately felt so comfortable leaving our senior chihuahua with her. We had a wedding in Europe and were gone for two weeks. She sent photos/videos and took the absolute best care of him. We will most definitely be using her in the future!

Shera absolutely spoiled my dog Ollie during his stay with her. You can truly tell she cares about the pets she sits, and really appreciate her asking questions to ensure mine and Ollies comfort levels throughout the weekend. I highly recommend her and Ollie can’t wait to have another reason to have her as a sitter!
Abigail was amazing!! She was accommodating last minute and communicated with me about my dogs stay in a timely manner and sent lots of pics! My dog Rex had a great time playing with her dog, Maggie, and was happy and all tuckered out when he got home. 10/10 recommend!!
