“I’ve had Christina check in a few times on my cat & she definitely goes above & beyond! She’s available when I need her services, great at communicating and especially great with my girly! I highly recommend!”
“Felicia was very kind and patient with Charlie, as he's very shy and sometimes stubborn. She was also very considerate about not exposing him to the heat and keeping him entertained inside the house. Felicia was also punctual and always available to give me a report on Charlie.”
“Lily was great! Our very skittish pets seemed to be at ease with her. She followed our instructions exactly and sent plenty of pictures. Great peace of mind while traveling. 100% would request her pet sitting services again!”
“Michelle has again been amazing. We have used her numerous times over the past few years to watch our 3 cats while we away. She is consistently on time and great with our shy cats.”
“Alan did a great job with my indoor calico Sparkle and my outdoor cats. Sparkle was not very friendly but she got to know Alan and came out to see him more than I thought she would. He was good at getting her medicines to her and sending upates and photos. We look forward to having him help us again soon!”
“Daniel helped us with our cat for roughly 4 days when we were out for a trip. We found him to be very attentive to Bobby's needs. He provided us most up to date information in detail, during each visit. We appreciated the fact that he was particularly concerned about Bobby's drinking behavior in our absence and tried out various ways to ensure he remains hydrated.”
“Kayla did an amazing job on a few check ins while we were out of town. Our cat Desi has really taken a liking to her, probably because Kayla will brush her out when she stops by. Kayla also went above and beyond and helped revive our plants. Will continue to hire her”
About: I have taken care of plenty of pets whether it be for my family, their neighbors or my neighbors. I ve done something as simple as to check on them and walk them to staying at the persons house to make sure the pet is all good and the house is fine as well. I work full time monday to friday but I start early in the day and will have plenty of time to take care of the puppies and make sure to play with them and have them taken care of. I have an apartment with one sweet and loving dog. If needed I can crate or leave my dog in another room if thats necessary.
“Emily filled in for walks on short notice and did wonderful. Her communication and attention to detail was well above expectations. She took detailed notes on the routine and my pup loved her! Highly recommend for anyone needing a their pup walked”
About: I have 20+ years of pet care experience from working at a Veterinary Clinic as a kennel attendant to becoming a dog and cat groomer for nearly 8 years. I have pet sat, house sat, fostered, been a dog walker, administered insulin, and made grooming house calls. I currently work full time as a Life Enrichment Director at a senior living community. My job provides me with great fulfillment and purpose but I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I do have a lot of flexibility with my work and because I create my own schedule, I am able to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust and rely on and I appreciate the opportunity to build that relationship with you. I have a very sweet, loving husky who is great with pets, people, and is extremely playful and submissive. I also have two cats in my household as well. I live in an apartment building where a large fenced dog park is right out my front door and an extra furnished (unoccupied) bedroom can be used to keep your furry friend cozy. As far as your own home, I would be extremely respectful, clean, quiet, and only do what is asked of me. I have my own life, which I love, so would never hang around, unless that is something you need or wanted.
About: Greetings fellow dog lover! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old and will love and care for yours like my own while you are away at work or running errands during your busy day. I will pay special attention to their preferences (and yours) for all drop-ins, day care needs, and walks, and will be sure your pups are as happy as they can be! I have special experience with Beagles, Pitties, German Shepherds, sighthounds in general, and herding dogs such as Border Collies, but love all breeds and sizes. I am also very flexible and understanding of the modern schedule, so if you need to cancel, it's no worries! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work around your schedule and make sure your pup has the attention they deserve. My backyard is fenced, turfed, completely shaded, and has a mister fan. I also have a dog door and the back gate is always closed and locked. Inside is all tile and dogs are allowed up on the couch if they are allowed at home.
“Brian is very personable. He followed my instructions, asked good up front questions and sent me lots of great picture updates of my fur-baby, while I was out-of-town. I would use him again, if he's available!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—my dad is a professional trainer, so I’ve learned firsthand how to handle dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have a 1.5-year-old Red Heeler named Willow, so I understand the energy, care, and patience puppies need. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your dog like family. Caring for pets is already part of my daily life. I walk, feed, and play with my dog Willow every day, so adding more pups to the routine fits in perfectly. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, or weekend care depending on your needs. Your pet’s routine will be safe with me! In my home, dogs have access to a large backyard with real grass for play and potty breaks. I provide a safe, enriching environment with crates, playpens, toys, and plenty of attention. Whether your pup loves to play or just relax, I adjust to their needs. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to keep your dog’s routine consistent and stress-free.
About: Having 2 doxies trained me to be patient and to dispense all the love and attention they need (it's a lot:) I simply love to cuddle up with a pup or play if they're in the mood. I have a lifetime of cat experience and raised 2 mini dachshunds ( lost in divorce) whom I worshipped! I'm great with house sitting and will treat your pet like they are my own. In your home, I will follow directions to the letter and leave your house as it was when I arrived. Warning...your pet may be spoiled:) I have cared for elderly dogs & puppies! I love cats as well, and used to socialize kitties at the Humane Society.
“Katie is my absolute favorite pet caretaker I’ve ever used. She is really quick to respond to requests and follows all directions I give her with my pets and entering my home. She’s the best and you’ll be very happy you book with her!”

Trevor J.
“I am writing to highly recommend Trevor Jackson as a responsible and compassionate pet sitter. Trevor has cared for my dogs for many years, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the love and dedication he shows them. Trevor is not only dependable but also goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are happy, comfortable, and safe. His deep love for animals is evident in the way my dogs react to him—they are always overjoyed to see him! One of the most touching examples of his care was when he slept on the floor with my elderly dog just to provide comfort in my absence. Knowing that my pets are in such capable and loving hands gives me great peace of mind. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, and truly devoted to the well-being of animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Trevor. He is an exceptional pet sitter, and I feel incredibly lucky to have him care for my dogs.”

Kelly B.
“The thing I appreciated most about Kelly and the service she provided was the complete ease it put me in about the care for my pets. I have a young, high energy dog and two cats. Not only were they well cared for and very happy under Kelly's care it was clear that they had been more than just engaged during her visits but had truly been loved for. My pets tend to be destructive if they are neglected for any longer length of time. It was always a relief to find that not only was there never any damage done by my pets under Kelly's care but in fact it appeared that things were maybe even more organized (in matters pet related, only) than I had left them. I can't imagine leaving my pet's care to anyone else; thank heavens for Kelly and her assistance.”
Anne O.
“Thanks again to Anne for taking the best care of my lil furbaby, Bailey! I’ve never boarded Bailey before so I was nervous about leaving him with for 5 days. However my friends whom I trust personally recommend her services to me. Anne is very personable and took extra care to learn about Bailey’s personality and needs so that he’d have a good first experience and comfortable stay. She was very attentive and made sure my Bailey felt right at home. Her updates, complete with adorable pics, gave me peace of mind throughout my time away. Also, her home is outfitted for dogs so it’s very pet friendly. It’s clear that Anne genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommend her!”

Optimist Park Ne pet parents share their Rover experiences
Claudia was great! My elderly cat needed the extra visits for feedings but all the cats needed to be fed while I was gone. My elderly gent and his younger brother immediately took to Claudia and she gave them all the loves. The photos at each visit let me know my fluffs were doing well.
Amazing service!! I had a last-minute longer term booking and I was worried I wouldn't find a sitter in time, much less one that would care for my cat as I would. Kimberly was a perfect match and shows up always attentive, always compassionate for my Lily girl. She really pays attention to all of her needs and caters to her uniqur personality. Lily seems to love her company and I'm so so grateful💓 Kimberly also regularly checks in to ask questions and send pics, the communication is spectacular! 12/10 recommend
Alyssa is fabulous! She went above and beyond to ensure that our kitties were well looked after while my husband and I were on vacation. She sent thorough text updates and lots of pictures after each visit, and our kitties were calm and happy when we returned home. Which is a great sign that they felt safe and comfortable while we were away! Alyssa was great with our shy kitties, and they loved her. We will definitely (hopefully) be booking with Alyssa again in the future!
Jordan was fantastic! I was apprehensive because I have never used a sitter outside of friends and family before. She was phenomenal! I was completely at ease with her taking care of our cat. She sent updates throughout the day. Even more phenomenal, there was an issue with a key to our home where the key broke inside the lock. Jordan went to the hardware store and got the key replaced without our asking her to. She was fantastic and we will definitely utilize her services in the future! I can’t speak highly enough of her.
Rachel provided wonderful pet sitting services for our 2 kitties. She visited twice a day and provided updates, pictures and peace of mind so we could enjoy our time away. Both our cats seemed to enjoy her...even our skittish boy who is afraid of all strangers. We will definitely book with Rachel again in the future and recommend her highly.
Mel was great, she did a fantastic job taking care of our Nessie, you could see Nessie really liked Mel and we loved getting all the pictures and report cards for each and every visit. Would highly recommend Mel and will be happy to reach out to her next time we need a sitter or walker.
