“Above and beyond! Sent funny pics every day and played with him a bunch. Has a big dog at home too, so was super comfortable with my energetic boy. Thank you lots!”
“Justin is great! I just started booking him this month and have already used his services twice. Banksy is a sweet girl but has some issues with other dogs but Justin hasn’t any problems with her so far. He’s responsive, respectful, and I’ve always come home to a clean house and a happy dog. I’m so glad I found him and will definitely be booking with again soon!”
“We’re so happy we found Elizabeth! Both our dog and our cat trusted her right away, and when we came back from our trip, they were both calm and relaxed. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they had company while we were away. She stayed at our home, everything was great with the house too, and we absolutely recommend her 🙌🏻”
“Cheryl came and stayed at the house she was great! I felt much better that the dogs were in their own environment and were receiving one on one attention. I feel like we have built a relationship with Cheryl and look forward to using her again.”
“Jared came through for us when a previous Rover sitter bailed less than a week before our scheduled vacation which we had been planning for a year. He came over for a meet and greet within a day or two of contact. The pups really seemed to like him. We booked him and he showed up which was a great relief after being let down several times before from Rover sitters. We left him detailed instructions and our contact info if there were any problems or questions. He sent us a pic of the dogs when he arrived for the first day and was communicative throughout the stay. He took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our home. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a reliable sitter. We will use his services again.”
“Our boys loved Elise and took great care of them! One of our pups is terrified of storms and she did a great job following our care instructions and keeping him safe & calm!”
“An amazing rover! Sadie took excellent care of our pups each time we had to go out of town !! Would recommend and would hire again! Your pups will be in good hands with Sadie .”
“Ian communicated clearly and took great care of my pets. I was able to be gone for a family event and not worry about how the animals were doing, and I really appreciate that. Ian sent pictures and clarified any questions at the meet and greet and early in the stay.”
“I am so glad I found Monty to watch my dog Honeybun! They were a perfect sitter for him, he seems happy and very well cared for after my little trip and that means the world to me. Highly recommend Monty 😊”
“Karen was fantastic!! We were due to fly to an out of state wedding less than 24 hours after Francine rolled through. It took the city awhile to get power back and Karen happily offered to stay anyway, even without power the first night. It was a huge relief knowing our cat Pixie was in good hands and we were still able to see our friends get married. Karen communicates wonderfully, left our house spotless, and most importantly took the best care of our cat! She sent plenty of photos and Pixie was clearly very happy the whole time. Thank you again Karen, we would love to have you back to watch Pixie again in the future! :)”
“Joel is the best. A total pro, he took time and care to ensure that our senior chihuahuas felt chill and secure while we were out of town. He handled their high maintenance feeding schedule and complicated personalities with kindness, while keeping us updated on their progress each day. Upon arriving home, I could tell right away that they had a great time with him, as they were both relaxed and happy to see us. We are all so grateful to have met Joel!”
“Ryan was great! My puppy Clyde loved the visit as he got a walk and plenty of attention. Ryan sent photos throughout the day and we were happy with the visit. Will definitely be booking Ryan in the near future. Thanks Ryan!”
About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!
“Highly recommend Martha! This was my first time leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know, and she put all my worries to bed after the meet and greet. Sent daily pictures and messages, so I knew my dog was having a nice time :) Very attentive to the details I laid out and responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire experience and left my house just like it was when she arrived. I would book her again and would easily recommend her to anyone else!”
“Renee came in last minute and watched our pups for almost two weeks. When I met her, I knew she would be graceful and patient with my wily mini aussie. She was amazing, understanding and kind. She provided daily updates. I came home to happy dogs and a clean home. I am so happy that I finally found a pet sitter who I can trust with my babies. Thank you so much Renèe!”

Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Blakely did an awesome job caring for my two pups for the weekend! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures/updates. our dogs can get anxious when we leave town but they were very relaxed and happy when we arrived home so I know they had a great time and got lots of love and attention while we were gone! She also washed the towels and sheets before she left which was so thoughtful and above and beyond! Will definitely book with her again!
As much as we dislike leaving our pets (including two seniors with special needs) and home, we’re grateful they’re all in great hands with Joel. We appreciate the regular updates and him going above and beyond to take such good care of everyone while we’re gone. Will happily reach out to Joel for future pet-sitting needs!
Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.
Cheryl is simply the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She is so loving and gentle with my dog. She is beyond trustworthy and always kept me updated on how everything was going with pictures and texts. I finally was able to stay present on a business trip knowing she was there caring for my dog! She did a wonderful job once again. I will always use her to watch my dog!
Miglė was a dream sitter! This was the first time I used Rover and I could not have been happier with the care they gave my fur babes. I never once worried! I got updates several times throughout the day and night. Miglė was so patient with my pets. I will definitely use them again.
Absolutely thrilled with David as our dog sitter! He went above and beyond in every way- accommodating two back-to-back, last-minute requests without hesitation. From the start, he was professional, respectful of our home, and left everything spotless. Our pup was in the best hands- he sent daily photo updates, took her on regular walks, and made sure she felt loved and cared for while we were away. David is trustworthy, reliable, and truly a perfect house guest. We would 100% book him again and recommend him to all our family and friends without hesitation!
Molly took care of our pups and house over a weekend, and was extra accommodating and flexible when we needed to extend for a few extra days. She kept us up to date with photos and adventures, we highly recommend and would happily have Molly house and dog sit for us again.
Dani was absolutely amazing. I truly felt like she loved my babies like her own. When my older dogs heating pad broke, she offered to bring her own from home so she stayed comfortable. She cleaned the house before she left, and was incredibly communicative. I know we've found a dog sitter for life!
