About: I have had many dogs and taken of care many. All sizes and types. I absolutely love animals and take great care of them. I can follow any instructions you may have. They will be loved as if they were my own. We will have plenty activities to do and if they're not to active of a dog then they're more than welcome to just sit and watch tv with me! Dogs aren't just pets, they're family. For dog walking/house sitting I like to let the dogs have plenty of outside time and let them explore (supervised) and play! We have an acre of backyard(fenced) for them to run and play! I only work nights and my husband stays home with our 2 year old so someone is always home to give the dogs attention! In the morning after breakfast we usually play in the back yard for a while, and then my dogs like to relax inside after before I go to work. Then they usually wander outside with my husband and two year old walking the yard and playing ball. I have a fenced yard, and very friendly dogs with tons of energy to play! In my clients home I’m very respectful and clean. I’ll always treat your pups as if they’re my own.
“Rachel is wonderful with our kitty. She is communicative and considerate. She tries to play with Stormy, gives her treats, feeds her, and cleans up after her, and is a great relief that we have her to pet sit when we go out of town. I’d highly suggest her.”
“Bobbi took wonderful care of Isaac and Jefe while we were away. When we returned, both dogs were clearly happy and comfortable which says everything. She made sure Isaac received his medications on schedule and handled the extra work of cleaning up after Jefe (who isn’t fully house-trained) with patience and kindness. Even with a tight 30-minute window, Bobbi somehow managed to get everything done and fit in a couple walks. She truly had it down to a science. It gave us great peace of mind knowing the dogs were in such capable, caring hands. We're very grateful and would absolutely book with Bobbi again.”
“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”
“Abbie did an amazing job watching my little pupper :) She had EXCELLENT and prompt communication and gave detailed reports every day. She was always on time and ver reliable and trustworthy. I felt at ease knowing my maltipoo Leo was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Did an awesome job taking care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. Great attention to detail and provided daily updates. Would definitely use Jordan again in the future.”
“Arianna was great! She dropped in on a consistent and reliable schedule (even through the holidays) and spent more than her required time with our cats. She made sure both pets got plenty of attention. We got up to date photos and comments about every visit. Definitely will rebook!!”

I also will make sure that your pet is happy while you are not home. I will play with your pet and I will take your pets on long walks. Make they are ready for bed when you get home so you can rest easy. I am a full time mom looking for something to do on the weekends to help people with their pets. And to show my children how to care for other people pets. I take care of my pets like my own kids. As well making sure they are properly cared for and safe. Always making sure I see happy tails wagging around.
“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my cat. She has such a warm and assuring presence that was the perfect fir for my shy gal. Everything was in order when I arrived back home from my trip, and her daily updates assured me my pet was safe and well cared for. Thank you for your kindness!”
“Alicia was absolutely wonderful!!! I have never used a service like this before, and she made us feel so comfortable throughout everything. She even got to us on one of the worst weather days I have ever heard of! Our cat was well taken care of, with photos and thorough visit comments. We would hire Alicia again in a heart beat!!”
“We had to book last minute travel due to a family emergency, and Maria was able to accommodate us on short notice. Communication was great, and she was flexible with our needs and updates. Our Maltese, Marley, doesn’t do well with other dogs, so boarding would have been extra stressful. We really appreciated being able to schedule three drop-in visits per day. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies while we were away!”
“Briana and her partner made sure my cats were well taken care of and safe! There was a heat wave so they hooked up my ac unit for the cats. I feel so assured and they are in great hands!”
“It was awesome knowing that our pets were being cared for. We didn’t worry a bit. Andrhu immediately made us feel comfortable leaving. He went above and beyond. I strongly recommend Andru to everyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
