About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs. I have been trusted to take care of, walk, feed and play with friends and families dogs and cats In both my own home and theirs. Both of my dogs have passed away now. My boy was 14.5 years old when he passed in June 2026. My girl passed in April 2024. Being able to care for other animals while not fully ready to have my own fur baby again will help me with the loneliness of not having my baby here any longer. I am available for all care levels from drop in to house sitting. I am currently unemployed, so i currently have open availability to walk and care for others pets. I am available any day of the week, and look forward to connecting with you and your beloved fur babies. I have a nice size yard that is fully fenced allowing dogs to be able to run and play freely. I do have another dog in the home who is friendly with other dogs, she is an Australian Shepherd. I am able to crate either dog at anytime if necessary. I am a big cuddle lover, if you prefer your animals not to be on the couch, please let me know so I don’t have them on the furniture.
“Sierra was great with my two young dogs for their drop in visits! Very thorough, friendly, good with the pups, timely and communicative about the visits. Would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's energetic puppies, senior dogs, cats who prefer a quieter approach, or pets with special instructions, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. That's why I treat every pet as if they were my own. Providing plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, affection, and consistent care while keeping their routines as normal as possible. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and pride myself on excellent communication. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, or extended stays, my goal is simple: give your pet a safe, fun, and stress-free experience while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! As a self-employed business owner, I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule to meet your pet's needs. While I do work during the day, I stay close to home and can provide multiple drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Evenings and weekends are completely open, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets when they need it most. Whether your furry family member needs a quick check-in, overnight care, or lots of love and playtime, I'm committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, safe environment with a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play and plenty of room to explore. I live in a quiet neighborhood that's perfect for peaceful walks. Pets are never left outside unattended, and I closely monitor playtime, meals, and any medications or special care they may need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your home as if it were my own while keeping your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure they receive attentive, loving care. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, so I provide regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind that they're happy, safe, and in great hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable from the moment we meet until you're reunited.
“Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)”
“Hannah was consistently on time and fulfilled all my detailed pet care needs. She was a good communicator as well as a good problem solver (because nothing ever goes as expected). I would recommend her to anyone for any pet care needs.”
About: I am a phlebotomist and medical lab assistant currently looking for work. I recently moved to Washington and love it here. I grew up being around cats and dogs. I have one cat named Binx. I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs and cats. I’ve taken them on walks, given them baths, helped with their training, play with them, clean up their litter boxes, brush them, given them medicine, and even gone to the park. I feel like I am the best choice because I respect and love animals. I always make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. I do accept both cats and dogs. I do not discriminate against any breed or size. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I will care for for each animal as if they are my own. I am looking forward to meeting new friends. I am currently looking for work since I moved here and I am pretty open . I am available from the mornings until 3pm or 4pm depending on my schedule. If you have any questions please reach out. I care for each animal as if they were my own. I will make sure they are fed and have water, give them space when they need it, play with them, walk them, give them company, pet them, bath them if needed, etc. I understand each animal has their own unique personalities and require different needs. I will ask for as much information as I need, to give them the best care.
“We appreciate Briana & Jamal taking such good care of our two pups and our home when we needed to fly out of state with little notice. Our pups immediately liked them, and we received so many cute pictures during and even after our trip! They were so wonderful, and we would definitely use them again in the future!”
“It was a pleasure working with Kelsey while I was gone visiting family. She showed up at the time scheduled, gave my rabbits attention, cleaned up their area often, and communicated consistently. She even brought them lettuce and crafted a little hay roll in a paper towel cardboard for them to play with. I could tell my rabbits were happy and healthy. I would recommend Kelsey and plan to reach out to her again in the future!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals throughout my life. I grew up with a dog and have since gained hands-on experience caring for dogs during many house-sitting stays. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s established routine. I’ve also had cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, boundaries, and ways of communicating. As an energy practitioner, I’ve developed a calm, grounded, and observant presence that animals often respond to naturally. It also helps me notice their subtle cues and give them the affection, reassurance, or space they need. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet and home with genuine care and respect. I carefully follow instructions, keep everything tidy, and provide photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time and have a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I’m best suited for drop-in visits before or after work, evenings and weekends, as well as house-sitting stays. During house sitting, I can maintain your pet’s morning, evening, and overnight routine. Some daytime visits may also be available depending on location and advance notice. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s schedule to ensure my availability is a dependable fit for their needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, playtime, litter, and household instructions while respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. I keep doors and gates secured, maintain a clean space, and provide regular photo and message updates. I approach every animal calmly and patiently, allowing them to become comfortable with me at their own pace.
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Senua. As well as being an incredibly kind person. She met my little guy where he is at with staying home while I am at work. Was flexible and super kind when we had our meet up. I was impressed with how attentive and caring she was towards my baby. And I deeply appreciated her experience with her own small dog. It made me feel even more secure leaving him with her. Even when he gave her a hard time she was able to stay cool and deal with some ‘pomittude’. I would love to have her work with him again and I know Senua would adore that as well. I highly recommend Sarah’s services. She’s got a great energy and is extremely caring of the dogs she works with.”
“Winnie was a joy! When caring for our cats, she was communicative and friendly and did everything just as we requested. She sent us multiple photos and detailed updates that let us know our babies were well cared for. We can't wait to have her sit with our pets again.”
“Dee Anne did a wonderful job watching our kitties, she sent photos everyday, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her whenever we go out of town again, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care while they are away.”
About: Ive been a dog owner majority of my life since i was 11 years old. As i Grew up with my dog almost like a sibling and treating her like my child. I went to dog training school which I took on a leadership roll for other dogs and helping other owners with their dog. So i have a little bit of training experience and practices if that is needed in building a repetition or simply l learning upon training your dog. I’ve considered becoming a veterinarian down the road because of how motherly i love and cared for my dog, taking care of her made me wanna help take care and help others. So i think being so passionate in giving care to fur babies and those in need or a second hand with their pet brings and makes more light all around. I have open availability! I am more than happy to make time as well. I would prefer a consistent schedule but for right now taking anything.:) I am very attentive so I am and will always check if your dog needs food, whatever needs i see and read off from the dog or any pet i evaluate what it is so that they are comfortable and satisfied. The last thing I want is your pet feeling out of place and uncomfortable. I also make sure everything is secured so making sure that safety wise the environment is okay nothing falling, doors closed or locked for the animals. Ill do a scan around so i can avoid possible situations that can go left object wise, i can correct actions in avoiding before happening.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
This is the first time we have used this site for pet sitting. We chose Sasha ans Alex for drop-in visits three times a day with some specific instructions on feeding and care. Sasha and Alex nailed it perfectly. Out pets have never been left alone over night without someone in the house. Sasha and Alex cared so well for our pets for the three days that they created a new routine that all three kiddos. We hope to use Rover and especially Sasha and Alex again in the near future. They are phenomenal. Thank you Sasha ans Alex
Kim is a fantastic sitter. I’ve tried several sitters for my two pups that both have very differing needs, Kim is by far the best. She understands dog’s needs. Leaving the dogs with her adds a level of relaxation to our trips knowing my precious pups are being well cared for.
Bella showed a polite professionalism when it came to the care of our dogs. She did research on handling techniques better suited for our specific dog breed and came up with ways to make them more comfortable around her, in a short timeframe mind you. She went above and beyond our expectations and we will surely try to book her in the future!
Angela was nothing short of amazing. My corgi, gizmo isn’t the easiest dog to deal with due to his past in his last home he was in. She walked my little man a lot and made sure he was taken care of. 20/10 would recommend to have her take care of your fur family
Noah is a fantastic pet sitter. Communication is timely and straight forward. Even our shy pets are interested in playing and interacting during visits. Reliable, caring, and attentive. After hiring Noah on multiple occasions over the years, we’ve not had a single issue or concern. Highly recommend!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lakewood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lakewood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lakewood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
