“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”
“Loren takes great care of my boy and gives detailed reports about how the walk went, which is great for an anxious pet parent like me! 10/10 will hire again!”
“Amanda is great with Dodger. She is enthusiastic and dependable and clearly loves my pup. I have such peace of mind knowing she’s coming for a visit 3 times a week while I’m working. She always includes a photo and lots of details about her visit. I would recommend booking services with Amanda.”
“Alaina is super conscientious and great at communicating while you’re away. She’s a pro in the sense that she gets it when you tell her one cat likes this, the other likes that. She’s been there and gets it straight away. It’s a real peace of mind to leave town confident your cats are in good hands. This was our first time using Rover/Alaina. We’ve had other sitters years ago who had a ton of extra rules and made things a little challenging. Not Alaina. Super flexible and on the ball. I loved her updates and when we got home both cats were calm and happy. It was kind of like they were expecting Alaina. Waiting on their perches for her regular visiting time which was when we got home. Then, surprised to see us but not needy and stressed out. So happy to have found a great cat sitter for our future trips. Thanks, Alaina! Cortado and Bonzie send their love.”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our beloved kitty, Minou, over the holidays (including Christmas and New Year’s) for two full weeks. From the moment we booked, she was flexible, communicative, and totally committed to ensuring Minou had everything he needed—plus plenty of love and attention. Not only did we come home to an extremely happy and content kitty, but Hannah also went above and beyond by helping with a few little household things that popped up while we were away. Her frequent updates gave us peace of mind, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. We’re so glad we found her, and we’ll absolutely be booking Hannah again next time Minou needs a sitter!”
“Faith was great with our Gina. She even made sure to ask questions about care for Gina, to make sure that she would have everything she needed. It was a last-minute booking, and faith made us feel comfortable, leaving our fur baby in her care.”
“Michelle was absolutely fantastic! She was punctual, communicative, made sure Roux La La got her meds, and gave her lots of love. Michelle has a warm energy that my kitty took to right away. I'm so grateful to have peace of mind while I'm traveling, knowing that I can rely on Michelle. Roux La La and I look forward to more bookings with her.”
“Kate came for drop in visits with our 2 tiny toy poodles. Our girls can be timid but I knew right away after meeting her that she knew how to manage these two. She and her husband took their time getting to know the girls and it was obvious the girls were comfortable! Kate made regular visits and was great about communicating, which put my mind at ease. If I sent a text or called there was always an immediate response. Kate also sent lots of pictures. We just got home from our time away and the girls are happy and healthy. We will most certainly be contacting Kate again. I highly recommend her sitting services!”
“Cristina did SUCH a great job watching our cat Calvin while we were out of town for ten days!!😊 before we left for our trip she did a thorough meet and greet with us and Calvin which gave us peace of mind before leaving. While on our trip she kept us informed after every visit with pictures and made sure Calvin was fed and looked after. Would highly reccomend if looking for a sitter. Thanks Cristina!😊”
“Lanie was great! She gave extra attention to my shy cat and he really warmed up to her. She sent me pictures and updates everyday. It gave me such peace of mind to know he was being well-cared for while I was away”
“Natalie was amazing! Had a last minute trip planned and she was available to check on my cat. She was very good with him and kept me updated when she dropped by! Came home to a happy cat :) Would book her any time I need a pet sitter!”
“Hanna did a great job taking care of our two dogs this weekend. They are not easy to deal with and they were well taken care of all weekend. We loved the pictures, and plenty of care was given to their needs. Would love to have Hanna take care of them again next time we’re out of town.”
“Lindsay was great with my cat! She followed all the instructions that were given, sent daily pictures/videos and updates, and made sure that my cat was well taken cared of and loved. Would definitely book her again. Thanks, Lindsay!”
“Elise is great - She willingly came by to meet Maggie in advance of the drop-in visit, was very communicative, and clearly loves dogs :) Will definitely be using her on a regular basis.”
“I hired Jackie to come to my apartment once a week and check on my two beta fish tanks and my tarantula. I was so relieved that she took the job because a lot of people are too intimidated by spiders to accept. She went above and beyond taking care of my fish and my spider, going so far as to troubleshoot my filters and test my tank water. She is extremely knowledgeable about fish and spent a lot of time making sure they were OK. This is so much more than I expected and I felt so confident leaving my pets in her care. She was Amazing with my tarantula and even offered to go to the store and get more crickets for her when she ran out. She sent me pictures and asked questions when she wasn’t sure how to proceed with her and I was really relieved to know that all of my pets were getting a lot of attention and care. It was very obvious that Jackie really cared about doing a good job of taking care of my pets. She is very detailed with her check-in visits and always takes pictures. she is extremely capable and responsible and I felt very safe giving her my keys and access to my house. I would hire Jackie again in a second and if you are looking for a sign to hire her, this is definitely it! Wish I could give her 100 stars.”

Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
E is so amazing!!!!!! I strongly recommend anyone who needs a dog sitter consider E. I can tell from the photos that E gave my dog a lot of love and care every morning and evening. I was initially really afraid of my dog getting depressed when I was away. But E really made my road trip worry-free!!! I feel very lucky that I had E’s help during this trip!!! I will definitely ask E to help look after my dog when I have to travel next time.
Faith was WONDERFUL. My pups are very wary of strangers, and this was the first time they had someone new care for them while I was out of town, and Faith was an all-star. She gave the sweetest/funniest updates about the dogs and took excellent care of them. Highly recommend!!
Samantha is excellent! It was my first time leaving cats for a week and Samantha made it easy for me to be away and not worry. She gave updates twice a day with photos, and patiently answered my text questions. Samantha went above and beyond the required. Great communication skills. Reliable, responsible, and flexible. I highly recommend Samantha!
Cristina is the best cat sitter we've ever had. She clearly loves animals, she asked thoughtful questions when meeting us and gave great updates throughout the days of her cat sitting for us. She really went above and beyond for our kitties, Fiona and Moses, and we will certainly turn to Cristina for our future cat sitting needs. If you want a sitter who is conscientious, attentive, and will give your furry family members the love they deserve, look no further!
Nina did a fantastic job checking in on our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. From the very beginning, she was polite, communicative, and easy to work with. She made sure we were always in the loop with regular updates and photos, which helped us feel confident and at ease knowing our pets were being well cared for. Both our cat and dog seemed happy and comfortable in her care, and it was clear she took the time to understand their routines and personalities. Nina was also very respectful of our home—everything was just as we left it, and we truly appreciated the care she took while we were gone. Overall, Nina was responsible, trustworthy, and clearly great with animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!
