“Kristi is wonderful! My puppy: Gordie immediately loved her which made me feel very comfortable. She has excellent communication and taught me how to see her walking route on the rover app. I have already rebooked with her and will continue to do so!”
“Shannon has been both a cat sitter and dog walker for us. When we went on vacation, she went above and beyond to not only take care of the kitties, but all the little extra things I asked her to help me with. She also walked and played with our pup when we had a last minute day trip. Reliable, friendly, and takes great photos as well!!!”
“Madison is very reliable and was able to help out with walking Callie last minute for me. Ever since then, she is my go to dog walker. She takes great care of Callie, communicates well and always makes sure my house is secure when she leaves. I will definitely keep booking her for future walks! Callie says 10/10 recommended!”
About: I have years of experience with cat and dog care - from drop-in visits to weeks long vacations for family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I've watched cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've administered medications including pills, chews, and liquid. I love playtime, walks, and quick hangouts! I am a full-time teacher during the school year, so pet care is perfect for my summers and weekends. During the summer, I am readily available most days. I am comfortable entering a client's home to care for their pet in their own safe environment. I always be sure to follow instructions on entering/leaving. I am a cautious, caring sitter. If your pet is wary of newcomers, I will be sure to provide them with patience and trust.
“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care Renee provides for my pet. Her dedication and genuine affection for animals shine through in every visit. Whether it's a walk or an extended pet-sitting session, Renee ensures my dog is happy, healthy, and loved. She goes above and beyond to keep me updated with photos and messages, making me feel at ease while I'm away. I wholeheartedly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter and dog walker!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, gerbils, and fish! I grew up with 4 dogs and currently have 1 cat. I have experience raising a feral kitten, so I definitely understand our furry ones have unique needs! I’d love to drop in to check on your pets or take your pets for a walk :) I currently work full time, so I am available most weekends. At this time, I ask that requests be submitted 1 week in advance of the drop-in/dog walking date in order to allow time to coordinate a meet and greet. Message me if you need someone urgently during the weekday, I’ll see if I can make it work! I’m a big advocate for playtime! One of the best things for any animal is bonding with their owners. The best way to do this is playtime or simply being in the same room as your pet (whichever they prefer). I’ve used Rover services for my own pets in the past, and absolutely love the platform!

Yaritza F.
“I used Yaritza's "sitter" services recently and was very pleased with the overall experience. I've had my dog for 9 years and this was the very first time I've left him to go on vacation so I was a bit apprehensive. She stayed at my place for the entire 4th of July weekend to make sure he was well cared for which included keeping him company, feedings, walks, potty outings and a fun trip to the park. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout her stay. Had I not known she was there, I wouldn't have guessed anyone was even there since she left my place exactly as I left it. Clean and tidy. I feel she is a very responsible and loving caretaker. Highly recommend!!”

Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Claudia was fantastic. I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my pit bull, Neo, to Claudia for his daily walks, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. Claudia is not only punctual and reliable, but she also has a natural affinity with dogs that is truly remarkable. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Claudia is easy to communicate with and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets she looks after. She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and preferences, ensuring that each walk was tailored to his energy level and temperament. She was also able to get some of his daily training done while on walks. My dog absolutely adors her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. Claudia's professionalism and dedication have given me complete peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and loving hands. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.
We booked a walk with Rachel for our puppy, who is also special needs. Rachel took amazing care of her, comforted our special girl and even took the time to make sure our senior dog got a potty break outside too. We would recommend her services and will be booking with her again in the future!
