“Lucia was such a big help for the weekend! She has excellent communication and provided pictures the whole time. Shiloh loved getting to spend time with her during the visits. Super appreciative for your help and time!”

“Mary does a wonderful job! Walks with my dog, gives lots of pets and attention to my cat and dog! Know they are excited to see her when I’m traveling.”

“Absolutely fantastic! I had circumstances change and last minute needed a drop in visit. Rachel went above and beyond to not only be available, but to make sure my baby was fully taken care of and happy! She also communicated promptly and sent pictures along the way. Would 100% recommend and will keep her in mind for future.”

“Kathryn is so amazing with our cat, Walter! The pictures she sends are adorable and he looks so happy to have a visitor when we’re away. Kathryn’s very thorough with her care of Walter and we always look forward to having her back!”

“Elizabeth helped us out in a pinch, was quick to respond, and sent us photos and detailed messages while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Amber did an amazing job watching our golden doodle! She was very communicative and went above and beyond to take awesome care of our dog and make sure he felt as comfortable as possible.”

“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”

“Salina is amazing- I feel at peace leaving my boys with her! They love her- even my old cat who has to take medicines. Salina’s always communicative and I appreciate the pictures every visit !”

“Charlie is a gem! He’s super responsive and always communicates quickly. Our pup is on the lower energy side, but I really appreciate that he stays the entire time and makes sure he feels comfortable and at ease. It’s clear he cares about the pets he’s looking after. Highly recommend!”


“Julia is an ANGEL! She was able to work me in last minute for a drop-in visit with my sweet dog, Fritz, and I’m so grateful. Fritz doesn’t usually do well meeting new people for the first time, but Julia and her sweet pup have such a calm and caring presence that Fritz felt comfortable right away. Fritz looked so happy and content in the photos Julia had shared, and I could tell she had been well cared for. Knowing that Julia took such great care of my pup gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you, Julia, for going above and beyond – we will definitely be booking with you again!”

“Megan was absolutely wonderful to our boy! Her check-in cards were so detailed and fun to read. It was easy to see that she treated our dog like her own. We will use her EVERY TIME.”

“We could not have asked for a better person to watch our two little ones when we went away for an extended period of time. Not only did she send amazing pictures and made sure they were getting enough love, but she was invaluable during a particularly stressful period of time when both of our cats automatic feeders went off-line, and we couldn’t figure it out remotely. Out of the kindness of her heart, she went back to our apartment multiple times to ensure that the cats were fed, she truly went above and beyond for them, and I can’t imagine asking anyone else to watch over our cats.”

“Maria was amazing with my stubborn English bulldog! I was leaving for a trip out of the country and she kept amazing contact with me and sent me so many photos keeping my mind at ease. I’d definitely recommend her and will be asking her to watch my little one again!”

“Erica is truly the best sitter ever! She’s repeatedly watched my baby, but this time she went a step above and helped me in the middle of a snowstorm. Her communication is top tier and I trust her with everything! Thank you, Erica!”

“Pedro was the most perfect pet sitter for our cats! He is very caring, has extreme attention to detail and followed my instructions very carefully. One of my cats is overweight and I expressed my concern with her getting proper exercise, and Pedro made sure to send videos of her chasing the laser pointer, without me having to ask! I will definitely rebook with him in the future. Thank you so much for being a trusted sitter!”

“Riley was an absolute blessing! She was extremely communicative and was able to make sure Chester got every supplement and snack he needed. Dinner was on time and the litter box was clean! She made sure he got his exercise too and lots of love. I’m so grateful! Chester would love to see her again soon!”

“Ethana was great! My skittish cat actually came out to say hello the first time she stopped by, and both of my cats really liked her right away. Your pets will be in good hands!”

Optimist Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elizabeth is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. It’s such a relief knowing my pets were being well taken care of when I’m gone and I really appreciate all the pictures and updates she sends every visit. She’s the best! 100/10 would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Elizabeth!!!

Melanie was wonderful with our Georgia. They bonded immediately, which was unusual for my fur baby. We exchanged information in case of any pressing questions or emergencies. She remember all of our instructions regarding, “The Duchesse” and texted to clarify about a medication. I couldn’t have been any more pleased with her work, and I highly recommend her services.
Lilly has taken care of our cats 3 times now, and she's consistently fantastic! 10/10 would recommend. She's taken great care of our cats, and it's clear from the pictures she shares that our cats really look forward to her visits. Lilly also brought some packages inside that were delivered while we were out of town, which is above and beyond the responsibilities of a Rover sitter. We look forward to booking her services again!
