Pet Sitting Optimist Park Sw

About: I have had cats and dogs for all my life and love to meet others’ pets. I have a knack for making all animals comfortable with me right off the bat (and sometimes making their owners jealous with how much they like me). I always listen to the needs and wants of the pets, especially those who may be more shy and need some space. I work part time and remote so I will have lots of flexibility to drop in on pets and stay around to keep them company. I always let animals dictate their comfort levels and how much space they need then slowly work to gain trust as needed. Once we are connected, I love to give them all the attention they want.

“Christal does drop in visits at my house midday while I’m at work 2-3 times a week. She takes my husky mix out to play and go potty. My dog adores her and has had no issues with going to the bathroom which I was worried about. He feels safe and loved by her. Christal responds to messages almost instantly and takes lots of photos. I would highly recommend letting her watch your fur babies!”

“Nicole and Michael were great with my pups! They sent daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. It was such a relief knowing my dogs were in good hands. I’d happily trust them to watch my dogs again!”

“If I could give 6 stars I would. My dog Shea loves Danielle and is always well cared for. We totally trust Danielle with our house and care of our dog with no hesitation. Great - now everyone will book her and I wont get in again 😁”

“Kelly went above and beyond for me at very last-minute notice. She made sure my little one was all set and happy, and I cannot recommend her enough. Kelly is the best of the best!”

“Lillian was great. She sent me tons of photos and videos which really put me at ease while out of town. She did the few extra side things I asked as well, which was super appreciated. I will definitely be using her again!”

Samantha H.

“Sara took wonderful care of my cat, Ava, while I was away on vacation. She was incredibly attentive and made sure Ava always had fresh water, kept her litter box clean, and even gave her the wet food I left as a special treat. I really appreciated that she sent me daily updates with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. When I got home, Ava was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Sara again.”

“Hillary was amazing and took phenomenal care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town! My dogs are a bit older and one of them has anxiety and Hillary made sure they both received the attention, love, and care they needed!”

“Thank you Alex for checking on Morris again while we were away. We appreciate all your help making sure Morris was doing okay and looked forward to seeing your note on how he was, it makes leaving him a little easier knowing you’ll be checking in on him ☺️”

About: I grew up in a home that always had multiple animals. As an adult I opted for the ease of a cat companion. So I have never lived in a house without at least a dog or a cat. I have provided multiple pet services for friends, neighbors, and aquaintances including pet sitting, dog walking, drop-ins, and even picking up dog poo. I have experience in medication and emergency vet visits. I work mostly remote and some days go out on work appointments. Due to Arizona heat I can do walks from 7-9 AM and 6-8 PM. Drop-ins, I can do 7-10 and 3-9. I will speak to you about your pets normal day of activities. I follow the set feeding schedule and serve only owner approved pet food.

“Kathy is wonderful! She took such good care of our cat, Simba while we were away. We will definitely be using her again on our next trip. Thank you Kathy!”

“Veronika is the best! Very responsive, & always sends me Rover cards, photos & updates while I'm away! I know my Stache is in good hands with Veronika, & can highly recommend! ☺️”

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 have many repeat house sitting jobs, 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.

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.

“Alan has been great in taking the time to become familiar with our dogs. We have a nervous GSD, and he has had a lot of patience with her. We can tell that our dogs really feel comfortable around him.”

Brenda A.

“Ronnie was great. He came over and met my pups before our visit. Set realistic boundaries and stuck with me to get setup on my garage door opener to get access to my home. The pups did really well with Ronnie and our short trip was wonderful and I was super relaxed knowing Ronnie would be there to watch over my babies.”

About: I have had the ability to have 2 small shelter rescue dogs, Neptune and Apollo. Neptune is no longer with us, but he and Apollo were both well trained and loved life. I have grown up around dogs and dog sat for several family members and friends in the past. I will make sure your dog is having fun and loving life when they are with me. I am currently a college student and have a very flexible schedual with most afternoon and evenings available along with the weekends. I do attend church for 2 hours on Sunday, but other than that I can be with your pet all weekend long. I check water bowls every hour and set alarms on my phone to make sure I never miss feeding time or medication. I play with your pets and take them on long walks when it is safe temperature wise to do so. Any medical concern will be run by the pet parent first unless a dire emergency arises, in which I will need preference(s) for vet(s) in the area listed ahead of time.

“Can’t thank Carly enough for getting me out of a last minute jam. She took amazing care of my two pups and did a great job communicating updates. Will definitely use her services again!”

Brent W.

“Katie was really nice to work with. She came to meet Bruce before the drop in visits to get familiar with him. Katie was punctual and flexible with her visits and always made sure to keep me updated with pictures and everything regarding the visit. Really appreciated her help!”

Francelly R.

“Wow, what an amazing first experience to have using the Rover App! Our Golden girl was in the best hands with Ali. The adorable updates with photos and a breakdown of each visit are something our little family looked forward to each day. Ali was quick with her responses and never hesitated to reach out for clarification on any of Mia’s needs. She went above and beyond expectations. Mia made a new best friend. We will definitely use her again!”
