Pet Sitting in Lakewood

“This was Lisa's first drop-in visit with Bogey, who is a rescue , previously abused, and normally reserved around new people. He and Lisa got along very well. She took the time to meet Bogey in advance, arrived on time, and obviously cared about making him comfortable, something that is not easy to do. I was very pleased with the care Lisa gave him, and I will be scheduling her in the future. It is my hope that she will be my "go to" person when I need a dog sitter.”

“Pete is truly amazing. We haven't gone away or even done an overnight in over 3 years because of my reservations about letting someone watch our babies. Our baby Elf is high anxiety. He gets very nervous and anxious around new people. Pete did a few meetings just to put my mind at ease. As soon as we met him we knew he was a caring, genuine person and definitely an animal lover. He was very accommodating and always prompt. We were pleasantly surprised with how quickly Elf warmed up to him. Simba showered him with kisses right away. He sent us pics and updates. Our babies absolutely adore him. He played with them and easily gave Elf his meds. He treated them like his own. We will definitely keep using Pete and we're so relieved, grateful and lucky to have found such a kind hearted and dependable person. Elf and Simba can't wait to see him again. Thank you so much for everything.”

About: Hi there! My name is Sharon and ever since I was little I have always been around a dog and have been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs for many years! I promise that your dog will be in good hands with me! Now that my kids are older and I have more time in my schedule, I’m available just about whenever you or your dog need me! I’m available almost anytime, weekdays, weekends, doesn’t matter. I have a fenced in yard with room for your fur baby to explore. I also have an older bichon-poo who likes to meet new friends.

About: I have been actively caring for my family’s dogs since I was 10 years old, meeting their needs through every stage of life — from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. My experience includes administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and even helping a dog recover from a toe amputation. I’ve loved my pets through every stage of life, and I’d be honored to give that same care and attention to yours. I’m comfortable managing the needs of multiple pets and have a gentle, patient approach with shy or timid animals who need a little extra reassurance when their family is away. With me, your pets will be cared for as if they were my own. In addition to dogs, I’m happy to care for small animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule while you’re away. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 7-5. I’m available for evening care and over night stays during the week with pets who do well with being left alone during the day. On weekends and holidays, I can offer full-time care, giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely so their routines stay consistent and stress free. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet like family by keeping doors and gates secure, using leashes or harnesses as directed, and always supervising outdoor time. Whether it’s administering medication or offering extra cuddles, I take every step to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for until you return.

“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”

“Rachel watched my dog Asher for 12 days while I was out of the country. She is amazing!! Since Asher is a bit nervous and apprehensive, it's easier for him to stay at home. She dropped in to take care of him a few times a day. She was always on time, followed directions, and even sent me pictures and updates. I highly recommend her if you are in need of these services. She has a ton of experience and knowledge. Thanks Rachel!!”

“Jill is so amazing to my baby Thor. I actually have a super hard time trusting anyone and meeting her she goes above and beyond to make him be at ease with my long hours. I’m so blessed to have met her in person. She’s very accommodating to schedules and very caring. If your going to anyone else your wrong, she’s phenomenal. Thor and I are so blessed! Book with her. I met her yesterday and she keeps her word, is kind and updates me (my dog has ficone syndrome and finding someone is difficult) she makes sure he’s ok when she stops by. Thor will not stop wagging about the house about his day with Jill. Thank you again for taking care of my baby!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Dawn’s services. She took great care of our dog while we were away. She sent photos and updates with each drop-in visit that made us feel confident our pup was being well cared for. We look forward to using Dawn again in the future.”

In addition to feeding and cleaning their litter box I will entertain them by petting and giving them their toys to play with. And giving them treats .

About: I have experience watching dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have watched reactive dogs as well as some dogs with disabilities. I am very passionate, communicative, respectful, and flexible sitter. I am currently working a full time job but work remote 3 out of 5 work days. This allows me to be fully attentive to your dog on those remote days. I’m also available during the weekends and in the evenings! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pooches company. With that being said, I can easily separate them as well if need be. Additionally at a clients home, communication, making your dog comfortable, and safety are my number one priorities.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years—both my own and pets of family and friends. I have three cats at home who keep me on my toes, and I recently lost my soul dog who I had an amazing 15 years with. I have experience from my personal life caring for a senior dog who needed lots of love, patience, and daily medication. I have previously pet sitted for dogs of all sizes and personalities- ranging from pitbull puppies, havenese's, german sherpareds, and greater swiss mountain dogs. I also have experience with cats, goats, birds, rabbits, and rats. I also have been volunteering at the animal rescue, Rescue Ridge for about 9 nine years weekly and have experience socializing abandoned/traumatized/feral cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or cuddle time, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to know your furry friend is safe and cared for, and I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and communicative with owners. Any request is not too much to ask, it shows you care. I can accommodate any instructions, dietary restrictions, and boundaries communicated. Feel free to reach out with any questions/inquiries and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I recently have gone back to school full time for my masters and will be available any time as long as I am not in class or at my internship. I will be very transparent and flexible with my schedule during communication and requests! Pet safety and comfort will always be my #1 priority. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs and always follow owner instructions including feeding routines to medication to preferred walking routes. My mantra is I do my best in every avenue in my life to apply empathy met with competency. I will be patient with your animals while being a responsible and safe caregiver. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you updated with messages, pictures, and videos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy. I also make sure all walks are safe, with proper leashes and harnesses, and I’m mindful of other dogs, traffic, and weather conditions.

About: What sets me apart? I’ve been fostering puppies for years and have two dogs of my own (7 & 4 years old) who are my world. Your pup will be loved like family! A little about me… I’m a stay-at-home mom of 3, and during the pandemic, I began volunteering with a local dog rescue and I still do to this day! I also had the chance to foster several wonderful pups during that time. Dogs have always been a part of my life, but it was when I got my sweet Lulu (who’s now 7 years old!) that I truly fell in love with learning about training, structure, and creating a happy, balanced environment for dogs. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️

About: I have several years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for both cats and dogs—from energetic puppies to senior companions. My own cat is 17 years young! I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention, just like family. I know how reassuring updates can be, so I always share regular photos and check-ins. You can count on me to care for your pet with love and reliability. Flexible work schedule, I can typically work around you! Weekdays and weekends available. Whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay, I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines closely—feeding, walking, playing, and administering any needed medication according to their instructions. I’m respectful of the home and try to leave everything as I found it. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: Growing up with at least 2 dogs in my home since childhood, I have a soft spot for all dogs and am always willing to do whatever is needed to see the goofy smiles on all dog’s faces! Grew up with larger energetic dogs, no breed is too much for me to handle. I’m currently a full time college student home for the summer. I work long hours on weekends, but am very flexible during weekdays for both day visits and overnight care. I am strictly an on site sitter and cannot bring dogs to my own home as I do not have the proper yard or living space to accommodate your dogs to the full potential. Having experience pet-sitting in previous clients’ homes, I am always cautious of other’s property and boundaries, as well as the animal’s boundaries.

“Shoshana did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Her daily texts and photos made us relieved that they were in good hands. Some of our cats are shy but they warmed up to Shoshana quickly. Highly recommended!”
