“Stephanie was great checking in on my Australian Shepard mix while I was away. She took her on walks multiple times each day and was very responsive. She provided lots of detail and updates each time, and showed a lot of care for my dog and her anxiety, both giving her medication, pets, treats, and leaving music on for her when she left. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie and book her again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and one sweet kitty that curled up alongside me for 18 years. I have experience with a range of breeds, sizes and temperaments and respect all their little quirks. I have a gentle and patient demeanor with animals and am more than happy to give lots of belly rubs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the week and some weekends too. I am a freelance illustrator and set my own schedule so I can be flexible during the week with pet needs throughout the day. Weekends may sometimes be available as well, just ask! I will treat your dog like my own, making safety a priority. I take time to learn each pets personality and try to meet their needs with compassion and care. When walking dogs, I’m very mindful of my surroundings to make sure everyone is safe while still having fun.
About: I've been a business professional for decades. I have had pets my entire life, until recently. I have passed FBI background, Special Olympics background checks and also here. Your house will be safe. I work remotely and love animals. It's really that simple. I work remote in finance. I miss my own pets. This gives me the opportunity to get some much needed animal kisses. I've never met a dog that didn't love me. Happy to care for your pets in your home. Does your dog need crated? How about a good long walk to make them feel better.
“Kristi was amazing per usual! The kiddos love her and feel very safe and comfortable. She had great communication and great pictures 🥰 we were very grateful for her care . Highly recommended so happy we have her as our go to drop in Rover sitter.”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care. We enjoy taking walks and exploring the city but also napping and relaxing when needed! I have a semi fenced in yard that is pretty spacious. Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.
“Aksel loves Colleen so much. She's one of the few people he still happy pees for when she visits. I thought he grew out of it, but he just didn't meet Colleen as yet! She's awesome and incorporates training with his play, so he's physically and mentally challenged during their visits. She's quickly become a part of his pack and we're both blessed to have her!”
“Lexi was absolutely wonderful with my sweet girl Poppy! She took such great care of her while she was sick and I had to be at work, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure Poppy was comfortable and well cared for. I really appreciated knowing Poppy was in such good hands, especially during a stressful time. I would absolutely recommend Lexi to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you Lexi!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I currently have 1 dog in my home. Got my first dog at 6. I walk or drop in visit my sisters dog, used to dog sit for family friends when they are out of state. Help take care of my partner’s elderly dog by letting her out mid day, cleaning up her incontinence and vet visits. I work full time but only 3 days a week. I am looking to drop in/ walk on some of my days off. I am an early bird looking for morning to after noon services. I will follow pet parent instruction to provide the care that the dog deserves and expects. Making sure doors are closed until on lead and keeping dog on lead until inside the house after the visit. If fenced in backyard is available, just having a good ole run around to release some built up energy if a walk is not requested
“Brittany was wonderful!! She was really great at communicating with me about my girl and always sent pictures as well. She was so patient and caring. She made us feel very comfortable with being away from Daisy. I would highly recommend her. She was great and we will definitely us her again!!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life! I’ve been the mother to many cats over the last 2 decades. As well as 2 dogs. I did a lot of dog training with my dogs. I’m also a mom and photographer. I’m currently looking to fill my days with long walks and playful animals while I’m on the hunt for permanent employment. I love to walk and would love to get to know your pup! I would definitely like to have a meet and greet with you and your pup before any walking or sitting. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I currently have an open schedule but that may change in the future. Looking forward to meeting you!! I am currently working full-time and am using Rover to supplement my income. I am available before and after work for your furry family member I prefer to watch your pet in your home. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats that are very settled in their own ways. I am willing to make exceptions upon a meet-n-greet
About: I have taken care of senior dogs for over 4 years. Clients trust me to keep their pets needs in mind while I am watching them. I am currently an online student, so that means my schedule is wide open for taking care of and getting to know your precious pets! I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I ensure their feeding, water, and exercise needs are met on schedule and take extra care to keep their environment clean and tidy. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I currently have a small Havapoo, but have had big dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I have experience with training, as well as administering medicine if need be. When I first moved away from my family, I was so nervous to try to find care for my pup while I was away! I am so thankful I have had amazing experiences with Rover, and I’m excited for the opportunity to give others an amazing experience, especially those who may be a little weary and nervous like I was at first! I work from home Monday - Friday, and have flexibility on the weekends so your pup will be in great hands with round the clock care! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly Havapoo that is dying to keep your fur baby company! If staying in my home, I will absolutely follow any special instructions or needs for your dog to make them feel right at home and keep them in their routine. For clients home, I will always make sure I leave the home the way I found it, and of course keep your fur baby in their routine!
“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”
“Elizabeth was very kind and patient with Letty. She takes many photos and gives us updates on the visit. She even left Letty a treat bag. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks Elizabeth!”
“Meg & Jeremiah are dog lovers who took great care of my canine companions and let me know how things were going. I would use their services again in the future for sure.”
“Christabel was excellent. She responded quickly to my initial inquiry and kept me informed throughout the visit period. I received pictures twice a day and saw my cat becoming progressive more and more comfortable with her. The final nap on her lap melted me! Christabel is responsible, caring, and considerate. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Colleen, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your feline family members in someone else’s care. As a proud pet parent to a bustling crew of four cats, Anubis, Momo, Tigger, and Vader, I am incredibly attuned to the unique personalities, quirks, and needs of our feline companions. My true passion and expertise lie with cats. Whether your pet is a playful kitten who needs to burn off energy, a food motivated lounger, or a shy rescue who prefers quiet companionship from a distance, I adapt my approach to make sure they feel safe and loved on their own terms. What I Offer: Feline Expertise: From immaculate litter box maintenance and precise meal times to providing interactive play and chin scratches (only if they’ll allow it!). I am very comfortable reading subtle feline body language. Peace of Mind: I am highly organized, detail oriented, and communicative. You can expect frequent updates and plenty of photos of your kitties having a peaceful, stress free time while you’re away. I am currently serving the Lakewood area and would love to meet you and your cats to see if we're a perfect match!
About: My dog growing up was a black lab chow mix, so I work well with energetic dogs and love to run and play with them. I love to be outside and would love to take your dog on a walk/hike with me! I joined Rover to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and help you take care of your furry companions. I am hardworking, reliable, and punctual. I’m currently working hybrid so I’m flexible with dog walking times and my ability to dog sit! My job is 9-5, but I can stop over before/after and on breaks between meetings depending on your dog’s needs! I am flexible to either let your dog out in a fenced-in-backyard or take them on a leashed walk! The length and duration of that walk can be adapted to your dogs’ energy levels!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Stephanie went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She checked in on them exactly as requested and always sent us photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, she had even left us a thoughtful little gift. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone who is not only wonderful with animals, but also kind, reliable, and personable.
We’ve been using Bethany for a few years now. She is gentle, kind, trustworthy and competent. I recently had surgery and couldn’t walk my dog, so we called upon her to help. Not only does Max love seeing Bethany arrived for his walks, but her kind, gentle, nature was a comfort to me since I wasn’t feeling well. I cannot recommend her enough! 5 stars isn’t enough!
We were very happy with our first experience with Kristi watching our 2 kitties. She was kind, professional and a great communicator. it was evident how much she enjoys animals from our meet and great and her messages and many great photos while we were away. We would highly recommend Kristi and hope to have her care for our kitties again in the future.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Colleen. I needed to arrange care for Zoey on very short notice after my husband passed away and I returned to working in the office. Zoey has anxiety and is incredibly important to me, so finding someone I could trust was essential. The moment I saw Colleen’s profile, I had a good feeling—and our meet-and-greet confirmed it. She is warm, down-to-earth, outdoorsy, and absolutely filled with life. Zoey adores her! Colleen sends me pictures and videos every day, and seeing how happy, relaxed, and loved Zoey is gives me tremendous peace of mind. Even though we’ve only been working with Colleen for two weeks, I already trust her implicitly and could not be happier.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our boys receive with TJ! He is reliable, kind and clearly loves treating our pups like they are his own! He cares to understand our boys personalities and keep us updated after every walk. His report cards are personal, funny and so well written! It’s very reassuring to know our babies are in such great hands! I’m afraid our dogs might start loving TJ more than us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakewood is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,280 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakewood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
