“Susan did an amazing job watching Ava for the day! Took her out for walks multiple times, played with her and sent multiple updates and picture to let me know she was settling in well. I would highly recommend Susan!”

“Absolutely amazing! I've used To er several times when we're visiting an area away from home and this was, by far, the best experience. I received photos throughout her stay. House was immaculate with no bad smells or messes (unlike many of the sitters I've been to). Thanks a great bunch of doggy kisses!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 50 years. They’ve been my loyal, playful companions, and I provide patient, loving care to every pup I meet. With an open daily schedule, I’m able to focus fully on pet care, giving dogs steady attention, exercise, and a calm, reliable presence you can trust. I am happy to care for your pets in your home. I am also available to bring them to my home if they get along with my three dogs. Pets in my care enjoy daily walks, quality meals, and a loving home environment. They’re treated like family, with comfort, safety, and companionship every day.
“I came in town to help with events for work & Jerron agreed to watch Ripley last minute. My pooch was happy and tired when I picked her up instead of anxious. & she is a high energy dog even at 6 years old. I recommend and would use Jerron's services again.”

“Our dog Tito had a great time with Alicia for the day, we felt very comfortable leaving him for the first time. She was very communicative & Tito came back happy and tired.”


“Courtney was communicative, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. Mazi enjoyed his stay, and I appreciated the updates and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


About: I grew up with 3 cats in my household and my family also fostered dogs so I have experience with many different animals. Hire me! I work remote and live in a community with multiple dog park areas. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of by my side! I live in a two story condo in a gated area. I also have multiple sleeping areas in my condo. Plus, there are multiple outside areas for pets around my neighborhood. Your pet will be safe and sound here.

About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.

“We needed someone to watch our 7 year old German Shepherd during the day while I went off and played old man baseball. Kelly turned out to be perfect. Very flexible and didn’t require any of these meet and greets a number of Rover sitters want. Being from out of town that never works. She sent pictures and videos four the four days we used her. Can’t really say much more she seemed to like him and he came back a tired pup. Good Job!!!”

“Stephanie was amazing! Very attentive to our two dogs and was great at keeping us up to date on how they were doing! Our pups always seemed happy in the photos and we will definitely ask her to watch them again! We were running later than we’d expected for their pick up and she was very gracious and patient with us, which we appreciated. Highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions with special needs. I’m confident in administering medication, reinforcing basic training, and managing high-energy pups with patience and consistency.

“Nicole & Rose V. was absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were attentive, reliable, and made sure my pup was well cared for the entire time. My dog came home happy and relaxed. I could tell he received lots of love and attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”

“Jim&Ivy took exceptional care of our Goldendoodle Bingo. Jim gave regular updates with photos how Bingo was doing . And was very flexible dropping off and picking up Bingo. Jim and Ivy took Bingo for walks and played with him. I highly recommended Jim and Ivy for your pets Boarding and Daycare needs.”
“Dallas was perfect. He loved on my dog as soon as he saw her and sent me photos before I even got to my destination. He sent a lot of photos and a video and I could tell she felt right at home. Thanks Dallas. Mitzi will be excited to see you again. 😊”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, and spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Chihuahuas and energetic puppies to gentle Huskies, senior pets, and independent cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and care, including administering medications and following special routines. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning and need consistency, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel connected when you're away from your furry family member. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. In My Home: When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, fresh air, and potty breaks, with both grass and shaded areas to keep pets comfortable. We're also conveniently located near parks and walking trails, making it easy to provide regular exercise and enrichment. Because I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain each pet's normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help reduce stress and make their stay feel familiar. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're accustomed to. I understand that trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home, so I treat every home with the utmost respect and care. I'll keep you updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight house sitting, I strive to provide dependable care and lots of love while you're away.

About: I grew up in a household of 7 dogs, I have always been around dogs and have always trained them. I love every dog individually and am always home to watch for their needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom of one baby and two dogs! I live in an apartment but my dogs are potty trained and walked every 2-3 hours for potty breaks. I have two balconies that my dogs love to hag out on and sun bathe while also repeatedly walking them throughout the day. I am always home and don’t go out so there is no issue with dogs staying with me. My husband works throughout the day
About: I grew up always having and taking care of our dogs in our home. Now as a mother of three, I've also had the privilege of caring for our Boston Terrier Coco of 8 years (who crossed the rainbow bridge last year) and Charlie, our Goldendoodle of almost two years. Our pets are truly a part of our family and any dog that comes to our home gets treated as an extended family member. My ten-year-old son inherited my love for animals. He loves taking care of dogs and has dreamed of having a dog care/boarding business so will be helping take care of our 4-legged friends. We have experience administering meds. Having trained puppies, we're also experienced with crate/potty training and teaching basic commands. Pet care is already a part of our daily life- our doodle comes to our bed and wakes us up for his first potty break every morning and that starts our morning routine. My husband and I work from home, so we are extremely flexible with our schedules. Very adaptable to any bathroom/play/walking schedules your pets may have. We have a large fenced yard with lots of fluffy grass for dogs to run around and play in. We love to go on family walks along the lake in the evenings.
Optimist Park Se dog parents share their Rover experiences
LoriAnn is the absolute best! She was very kind with her time in meeting me extremely early in the morning since I have a crazy schedule! She was incredibly accommodating. She and her family took extra special tender care of my tiny pup. The children ran with the puppy until he was so exhausted .. he passed out and had big wonderful naps. LoriAnn took Booker Bleu for perfect strolls in the grassy areas around her house and kept a close eye on BB. I just can’t recommend her enough! She’s very kind and very loving with animals!! Five stars all the way!!! Thank you LoriAnn 🫶 ~ Kary & BB 🐶

Alex was awesome and did an amazing job looking after our Chippy! She constantly sent photos and updates and put our minds at ease since we are not used to leaving Chippy somewhere else. We’re very grateful and happy we found Alex- we would love to have him going more and playing with the rest of the pack!

Thank you so much, Susan! I know he can be a handful when his energy levels are high and I do appreciate all that you and your husband do for Loki. He’s at home with you and I can be at work and not have to worry about him at all. Thank you again for being so accommodating and I will definitely look to rebook with you when I need someone to watch him.

Overall went very well , thank you for being patient with arlo as he can be very shy and nervous at first ! I appreciated the photo and video , wouldn’t have minded more :) he came home very tired so im sure he had so much fun in the spacious backyard ! He did leave a toy and food bowel I’m sure he wanted an excuse to be back LOL thanks so much for keeping him throughout my long work hours if you’d have him again id definitely rebook .

Paige was incredible with my anxious, high-energy little guy. He’s been fearful of grass, but she encouraged him and he had his very first brave yard adventure! Seeing the happy photos she sent meant everything. He’s also very cuddly, and she gave him all the snuggles he needed. I felt completely at ease the whole time. He was safe, loved, and so well cared for. Paige has a beautiful home, a beautiful yard and is very communicative. Highly recommend!

Lily seemed to have lots of fun in Daejahs beautiful yard! And also enjoyed lots of comfy couch cuddles. I was not worried at all while Lily was in her care. Sent lots of cute pictures and videos of Lily chasing birds outside too! She was also very flexible with pick up times since my husbands job is very unpredictable. We appreciated the flexibility. Would definitely book again!

We can’t even leave enough stars to say how amazing Ashley was!! We were so lucky to find her and so grateful she was willing to jump in at the last second for us! She is super sweet and you can tell just how much she loves all pups. Her communication was beyond excellent and Cooper told us he wants to go visit her and his new fur friends again very soon! We are so excited to have someone nearby that we can completely trust with our kiddo in the future. If you’re looking don’t hesitate - book her before anyone else does!

This was my first time leaving Aloy with anyone else, ever(!!!) and Micaela made it such a easy and simple process. :) I got tons of pictures throughout the day to let me know she was okay. Aloy loved her stay there and even made a friend. I'll definitely use her service again!

Richard was the perfect sitter for my little boy. The backyard setup is perfect for playtime, and his dogs are lovely. I’ve never put Kai in daycare before, but Richard was an amazing host. We felt at ease from the start, and he sent me pictures throughout the day to show how much fun and well looked after Kai was. I couldn’t have asked for a better first sit. Highly recommended!
