“So thankful Doreen was able to do a few last-minute drop in visits for our cat while we were out of town for the weekend! Took great care of him, sent us so many cute pictures, and left us with a beautifully clean litter box.”
About: I’m reliable, active, and patient, and I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, puppies who need structure, and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra care. My goal is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Being a pet caretaker fits into my daily routine because I am able to work from home. This allows me the ability for check-ins/walks and for the consistency that a pet owner needs when they are away. In a client’s home, I follow the owner’s routine closely so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I can help with feeding, water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins. I’ll also respect the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet is cared for before I leave.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
I am so pleased with Victoria. She is exceptional with my cat sir Albert and he really likes her and can’t wait to see her. She leaves my apartment organized and clean. She takes the garbage. She make sure that there’s not litter everywhere and I am so happy with how she works with my cat. I recommend her highly for someone who is caring, compassionate, and obviously loves her job.
Heather was absolutely fabulous and will 100% be booking her the next time I am out of town! As this was my first time leaving my kittens for multiple days I was a bit nervous, but Heather did a phenomenal job calming my nerves and taking care of the kitties. She sent a plethora of photos and videos and recounted a detailed account of each visit. She was incredibly kind both with her care and her communications with me. Highly recommend booking her to watch your pets, you will not regret it!
Alexandra is a great dog sitter . She is courteous on time and very pleasant and did a great job watching our golden retriever Jax .Alex kept us updated on how Jax was doing and also sent us pictures .We would use her again and highly recommend her to our friends and family thanks Patty S
This was my first time ever using Rover and it was important to me to trust someone to look over my cats as I'm not from here! Kathleen was there every step of the way and took care of my cats as if they were her own, despite her being allergic! I am so grateful for kathleen, her kindness, and her love! I recommend her 100000%! Thank you for everything, Kathleen!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
