“Allie was very attentive to our dog, Pepper, and gave us frequent updates. The two of them got along very well and Allie was obviously quite in tune with Pepper's needs. Also, the house was left in great shape.”
“Willow treated our pets like her own! She was genuine and kind, she sent us constant updates and photos of how our cat and dog were doing and made vacation stress free! I highly suggest trusting willow with your fur babies and home.”
“Cedell was great at communicating and taking care of our pups and house. She came and met them before we left so they could get to know her. We got photos and video's and knew what was going on the whole time. We would definitely ask her to care for our pups again.”
“My boy George was obsessed with Marianne the minute he met her. I left town for a few days while Marianne was watching him and I got lots of updates and photos about the stay. If you have separation anxiety like I do while leaving my dog, he will be in great hands. I’ll be definitely booking Marianne back to back for future stays. I feel so lucky to find someone so good to my beloved pup, who is also so respectful to the property. Thank you Marianne, we love you :) Eva & George”
“Lacey and Lois love when Allison comes to pet sit for them. Allison threats them with tender loving care. I always feel confident that my girls are well taken care of. I get lots of pictures of the girls. If you are looking for an excellent pet sitter to take care of your pets, I recommend Allison for the job”
“I was so relieved to have Cindy watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am definitely a helicopter mom but Cindy is so knowledgeable and well versed in dog and cat behavior that I was put at ease immediately during our meet and greet. She was quick and professional when communicating and sent some really great photos to me while I was away. She even sent a video of my dogs happily playing which they don’t normally do when they have a sitter! They loved her as much as I did. 10/10 I would book her again! Thank you, Cindy!”
“Kathy is the best! She is reliable, knowledgeable, jovial, and truly loves animals. After our return from three weeks abroad, we could tell that Kathy gave our two puppies lots of attention and love. They also became more social and calmer with people and Kathy trained them to listen better. Although the puppies' wellbeing was the most important to use in selecting a friend for them, Kathy was also a great house sitter, instrumental in helping us connect with an A/C repairman across continents and kept everything neat and running. Thank you, Kathy!”
“When Emily took care of my girl over spring break, I was nothing but comfortable the entire time being away from my dog. She was very loving and kind to her: always made sure her water bowl was full, fed her on time, walked her and let her sniff everything, but most importantly, Emily gave Jill space to get to know her on Jill’s terms. That’s important to me because she didn’t make Jill feel uncomfortable or pressured to like her, she let it happen naturally, and boy did it. I can’t recommend Emily enough, thank you!”
“Brie was amazing with my Aziza. She was attentive from our first meeting. I took comfort in all the pics throughout the day and my girl was so happy and content. Perfect all the way around!!”
“Meredith took such great care of my pets while I was away! I came home to a clean space with all four fur babies happy, healthy, and chilling. She provided regular updates and photos while I was away. I highly recommend booking Meredith for your pet care needs, five star experience”
“Sasha did a great job going above and beyond to make sure the dogs and our house were taken care of and that we felt assured that we had nothing to worry about. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Kacee sat both our greyhounds in our home for a few hours. We’ve had these two for less than a month and were honest about our lack of 100% comfort with their ability to get along. She was not scared off when we mentioned muzzles, but both our pooches were calm and comfortable around her, which is a testament to her “dog whisperer” abilities. We will definitely be having Kacee back!”
“Kimberly was great at caring for our crazy dog while we were gone. She kept us updated and sent lots of photos. I felt comforted and eased while she watched our dog. We can't wait to use her again!”
“Laura does a great job taking care of our 4 pups. Good at communicating and doing whatever is needed for them. We have used her several times and really appreciate the care she provides”
“Shannon had her hands full with my Aussie. He is a full blown herder and more vocal than your average husky. Additionally, Ozzy was recovering from a cold and antibiotics were making him feel yucky. Shannon was incredibly resourceful and worked with me to find solutions to help my fur baby feel comfortable and safe despite his mom being far away for a whole week. I sincerely appreciated her dedication!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I may not have formal experience yet, but I’m reliable, compassionate, and I truly enjoy caring for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel safe and loved. I am most experienced with dogs! I’m currently working full time so I’m available Wednesday through Friday every week, and every other Saturday. I work Sunday through Tuesday and every other Saturday so I’m unavailable on those days. I’m happy to offer morning, afternoon, or evening visits on the days I’m off and can be flexible with advance notice! I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment for pets in my care. I live in a small apartment and have a friendly small dog who gets along well with other pups. Because of my space and my current pet, I’m best suited for small sized dogs and even medium sized dogs who are comfortable in a smaller setting and around other dogs. I’m not able to accommodate larger dogs in my home at this time. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. Pets in my care get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I treat every pet like family and do my best to follow their routine to help them feel at home.

Optimist Park Nw pet parents share their Rover experiences
Desiree was great! She accepted an emergency booking after our prior River sitter cancelled mid booking. From the pictures she sent, it’s clear she immediately put our dog at ease and treated him like her own. I would definitely have Desiree sit for us again!
Rozanne is everything and more in a pet sitter. She was on time, sent pictures, videos and updates while we were gone, followed our pets schedules perfectly and even brought a toy for them. You can tell she cares a great deal for our fur babies and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future.
Brenna is a lovely, highly caring and competent caregiver. We were thrilled with her care of our pup and our home. She is thoughtful, responsive, conscientious, and genuinely a kind soul who made our nervous dog feel safe and loved. We highly recommend Brenna, who went above and beyond expectations!
All the previous reviews about Ali were correct, she is a gem. As soon as she and my three dogs met, I knew everything was going to be just fine. She stayed at my house for four days and three nights, and it meant the world to me that I knew both my house and my dogs were in excellent hands. Not only does Ali love dogs and take great care of them, she’s a really great communicator as well. She asks good questions and also sends information and photos and videos every day. It made all the difference knowing she was taking such good care of things at home and I could focus on having a wonderful vacation. I hope she’ll be available next time I have to go away.
Meredith took such great care of my pets while I was away! I came home to a clean space with all four fur babies happy, healthy, and chilling. She provided regular updates and photos while I was away. I highly recommend booking Meredith for your pet care needs, five star experience
Sue Hyon took great care of my babies while I was out of town and I would absolutely recommend her services to others! I have a senior cat who requires several daily supplements and feedings, as well as a senior dog (Ginger) who resource guards and has an unpredictable mood with a bite history. Naturally, I was very anxious about leaving them in the care of someone I don’t personally know. My dog wasted no time showing her nasty side, refusing to allow Sue Hyon to put her harness on, with a (thankfully minor) bite incident to follow on day 2. I was mortified and fully expected her to cancel the rest of the booking or at the very least keep Ginger at an arm’s length. Not only did she stay, but she continued trying to get that dang harness on until she eventually succeeded. To even more of my surprise, she STILL went out of her way to take Ginger with her to bars and restaurants with dog-friendly patios because I mentioned how much she enjoys it. I was truly shocked by that and it immediately eased all of my worries. Thank you again, Sue Hyon!!
Kathy was fantastic!! I was a bit tentative about leaving my dogs with anyone new but she was awesome!! She did everything I asked for and more. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs, which was more than I was expecting! I could tell my dogs were completely comfortable with her from the photos that she sent me and by how they were so relaxed like nothing was any different than any other day. I highly recommend her because I guarantee you will be pleased with the care she gives to both your animals and to you. I already have her booked for my next trip!! 🥰
Shelby did an amazing job caring for our dog and home while we were away. She sent regular updates, which gave us peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well cared for, and the house was spotless when we returned. We’d gladly have her back and highly recommend her!
I will always choose Tabbitha if she is available! Friendly, amazing communication and frequent updates and photos. My dog loves her - after I’m home, for a day or two she keeps looking to the front door (I come in from the garage) as if she is hoping to see Tabbitha, too. She leaves my house spotless and generally makes me feel like my dog is very much appreciated and safe. Highly recommended!
Gabby was amazing and so sweet! We felt so comfortable leaving Woody in her care. We came home to a happy pup! Gabby was very communicative, sent us updates and left our home spotless (which was soo kind of her to do). Will book with Gabby again! Thank you 🫶🏼
