“Alexa and Connor were good communicators and were willing to come out to do a meet and greet before confirming booking. Overall I had a good experience and would rebook with them again! Like they said you get two for one in their pricing. My cats warmed up to them and were taken well care of while I was on travel.”

“Angela looked after our 4 kitties while we were away. She was so kind to them and sent us so many photos and videos, it really put us at peace knowing she was looking after them.”

“So happy to have found Katelyn, my dogs love her and they always are more relaxed when I get home since she visits, takes them out and plays with them for a bit. We will continue to request 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.”

“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!”

“Perfect from start to finish. She followed my instructions exact, took great photos and even informed me about some mail left at my door that I may have missed if she wasn't there! My dog is happy and so am I. I will be booking again.”

“What great peace of mind to know that our girl,Deva was so well cared for by Dana while we were away. Really loved the photos and reports. We look forward to using the service again. Purrs.... Debbie R.”

That way, I’m already a familiar face to your fur babies when I arrive for the sit, and we can start off on the right paw! . I am glad to care for well-behaved large dogs! I am comfortable walking a single large dog that might pull a bit, but to ensure safety, I prefer not to walk two strong pullers simultaneously. I had a frustrating experience once trying to use those silly backpack harnesses / leashes on my human twins when they were toddlers and they tried to run in opposite directions at the Puyallup Fair or kept going around my legs so I couldn’t walk 😂
“We had such a great experience with Megan! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave them—it gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”

“Micayla is great! She stepped in when my regular sitter was unable to cover a couple of long days and the pups were well taken care of and I was totally able to trust all was well. Will absolutely book Micayla again and recommend choosing her for your furbabies.”


“There was a bit of a mishap with my door code but Tory was patient and took time out of his life to tale care of my dog while I was out of town, and it was greatly appreciated.”

“Brianna was great with my two cats. As a first time user of rover I was scared of how well they were going to be taken care of . Brianna kept me updated with every visit via messages and pictures and adressed any concerns as well. I am happy my fur babies got excellent treatment .”

“Amber has been amazing with my little dogs Cora and Ruger! Ruger can be loud and Cora is shy and Amber is so good with them. They are happy every day when I get home. Amber is dependable and great with communication. I'm grateful that we have found her and hope she keeps coming for drop in visits!”

Lakewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

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.

Angel did an amazing job! Thank you for taking care of our kitties and giving them lots of love. Angel definitely went the extra mile and cleaned up around the litter box swept gave us great updates and lots of pictures. We will definitely be using him again in the future and 100% recommend.

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!
