“Stephen was very communicative, always sent me pictures during each visit, and always mentioned when he was on the way to visit. I appreciated a small paragraph/summary he would always give me at the end of each visit, and after the last visit, made sure to go over everything i kindly reminded him to before i came home. I enjoyed Stephen's energy and knew I could trust him with my babies.”
“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”
“Very attentive and although he only had 30 minutes he still made sure to play, give treats, and cuddle with them. Went above and beyond what we requested.”
“Denise was so patient with my dog. We were here from out of town and my dog was incredibly nervous. I needed someone to stay with Aoife, our pup, and Denise was here right away. My dog was being really jittery but Denise helped her out by trading her on a walk and just being here for here while we were gone.”
“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”

“It’s much easier to leave my dog and cat when I know Jamie will be caring for them. His reports are always detailed and reassuring. Our pets are not easy, our dog has a lot of energy, and our cat requires twice daily medication. But for Jamie it’s no problem. When I come home I’m always greeted with calm and happy pets.”
“We sincerely appreciated Emily’s help with our dog, Vienna, last week. She wore our little puppy out and made sure she was taken out regularly to avoid any accidents in the house. We appreciated her advice and suggestions on potty and crate training as well. Thank you, Emily!”

Botanical Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Tirzah! Tirzah is experienced and very patient, yet also efficient and reliable. Communication with Tirzah was smooth and clear, and Tirzah always responded quickly. Most importantly, Tirzah won the trust of our two cats, which means a lot to us!! We’ll definitely continue to reach out to Tirzah for future help!!
Laura is amazing! She went above and beyond expectations when she dropped in to look after my senior cat while I was out of town. Laura’s clear love for pets and frequent communication gave me peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. If you’re looking for a conscientious, caring, and communicative person to watch your pet while you’re away, look no further than Laura!
Elizabeth was great with Leo! She checked in and sent pictures and made us feel at ease from afar. We felt very comfortable leaving Leo for a couple of days in her care. We appreciate her following our instructions and detailed report cards. Her communication was great as well! I will definitely reach out in the future!
