“Kristin is incredible! My dog is obsessed with her. Onyx is so excited when she comes to stay with him. She’s great at communicating and sends so many pics, I never have to worry when I’m traveling. She’s responsible and reliable, absolutely book her!”

“Allison was wonderful! Very communicative and came home to a very happy, tired pup and tidy house. Felt very at ease knowing my dog was being cared for by her while away. So happy to have found her!”

“Bianca was a wonderful, loving sitter. She communicated quickly and arrived early. The condo was nice and tidy when we returned. Will definitely book again.”

“Nancy is my go to sitter! She goes so above and beyond to take care of my Nala and she is very clear with her communication. Shes so sweet and gentle I absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a trusted care taker ☺️”

“Kirsten is AMAZING! I was super nervous to leave my kitty alone for several days because he is used to having someone at home all the time but she was so understanding and so flexible with her schedule so she could really make sure his routines weren’t interrupted and that we felt comfortable being away. She sent check ins and pictures as well as taking extra time to pet him and play with him and overall just made it such a positive experience and really took my worries away. I can’t recommend enough!”


“Sarah is fantastic!!! She is very friendly and engaging which eased my mind about leaving my dog. She sent pictures and left messages about how he was doing. We would hire Sarah again without hesitation.”

“Dwayne did an excellent job, both minding the house and taking care of our pet. Our dog is blind and requires some extra attention and Dwayne did well. I would definitely use Dwayne in the future.”

About: Animals gravitate to me, and I'm a photographer! While you're away, you will receive amazing photos and videos of your furry family member! I have a special place in my heart for my friend's dog Tripp. He has 3 legs and a strict diet. I love making sure his food is always perfectly prepared and getting all his meds. Whenever I'm with him we always take a trip to the beach. Plenty of window space in my 4runner and cool aftercare tools to clean and dry your furry loved one for the ride home. I've been a commercial photographer for 16 years now, it's time to freelance and build my business outside of working for a company. I love pets, traveling, and meeting new people. Excited to see where this takes me as a photographer and animal lover. I give the furry loved ones the same luxuries I would enjoy. Soft bed with a blanket to curl in, clean water, and food with a tasty treat throughout the day. Car ride adventures and cuddles. Depending on what you choose for them, maybe some soft music or the nature channel on if I'm away. Toys and attention are important! Every furry loved one has their favorite toy!
“Jennifer was the first Rover we used and she as excellent! She took amazing care of our blind, senior dog and sent us multiple thorough updates each day. Dijon was happy and resting when we returned and our house was as clean as if no one was there. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!”
“Justine was so loving and attentive with my 3 furbabies which eased my stress leaving them behind. She sent many pictures and videos of their antics which was also reassuring and thoughtful. And to top it off, she left my house clean and in order so I’d rate her A++++”

“Kaitie was the best sitter! I’m so happy we found her and booked her. We already have future trips booked with her. I’m an anxious dog mom with an anxious dog haha and Kaitie blew it out of the park. She was very communicative, stayed home with our pup a lot, walked him a ton, and sent so many photos. She also cleaned up the apartment after her stay. Highly recommend✨”


“Elijah did an amazing job staying over in our house for several days with our Pomeranian. He regularly sent is photos and videos and followed all our instructions on how to take care of pup. Definitely recommend as professional sitter and will contact him in future!”

“Kaitlin was wonderful with our 14 week old basset hound puppy! She was right on time, very communicative throughout the day, and incredibly sweet and caring. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in such good hands. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”

“Audrey P. is a true animal caregiver and lover. She went so above and beyond to take care of my 2 fur babies during our trip and wedding. She us flexible, a good communicator, and takes lots of cute pictures keeping my mind at ease every step of the way. I will rebook her anytime I need a friend to watch my kitty and special needs dog!! Thanks for everything Audrey!”

“Janet is the best! She is amazing with our senior dog who needs daily meds and our crazy kittens. It’s such a gift to go out of town without worries! With Janet, you know that your pets are in great hands.”

About: I believe that it is important to adapt to each dog's individual personality and preferences when caring for them. I have had experience all my life with my own, and family, pets of all shapes and sizes and can tell you for sure, one size does not fit all lol. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so I'm confident in my ability to handle anything they throw at me. I'd love to get to know your pet as well :) I work from home so I am highly flexible and can fit your pet in my day at any time for your requested activities, or lack thereof haha I have pets at home, so if your pet prefers not making friends at this time, I can drop by or stay with your pet at their home!
“Jade was so sweet, my pups had the best time with her! Her communication was spot on, she sent multiple updates, and I felt zero stress leaving my dogs with her. Would love to have her anytime!!”

“Julia is conscientious, detailed and kind. She did a wonderful job with house sitting with our two pets. I would recommend Julia wholeheartedly as a trustworthy sitter.”

Normal Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
So happy we found Kaitie! She completely exceeded our expectations. She sent the most amazing photos throughout the stay and kept communication open the whole time — it made being away so much easier knowing my guy was in good hands. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the time of his life. The house was clean and tidy. We'll absolutely be booking her again!

Evelyn is a wonderful sitter! She is proactively communicative and sends lots of pictures. She was amazing with our two terriers, one of whom is a little skittish because she is a rescue. I would highly recommend Evelyn and will definitely be requesting that she watch our pups again in the future!

I would give Jake 5 stars just for having to deal with me!!! I was so nervous about leaving my new puppy and my spoiled 3.5-year-old pug, but Jake reassured me every step of the way. He sent photos, followed all of my instructions (all four pages of them!) perfectly, and took such great care of my dogs. Our older pug even goes to the spare room now looking for him! I can't thank Jake enough and highly recommend him to everyone. Thanks, Jake!!! 🐾💕

So thankful Jade was available to watch my dog and cat! Daily pictures were great and my pets looked so content with no anxiety when I got back. She handled all instructions even with my older pup. She also left the place beyond clean and I would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommend!

Ivana was AMAZING!!! the sweetest soul and so willing to help us out us out in a last minute minute ! My sweet girl had a lot of fun with her and was so excited to meet her from the get go. Guava had been feeing sick for a couple of days and seemed like her normal self once Ivana came around, I think she was the little boost of she needed to get better. But felt so relaxed and comforted leaving her in her hands while she wasn’t feeling the best. 10/10 recommend 💕🙈

Emily was INCREDIBLE!! She provided multiple updates daily, including pics & videos, and even taught the dogs new tricks while we were gone!! She left our house so clean and tidy, and is overall very responsive, responsible, and communicative. It’s so nice to have someone you can trust with your fur babies. You can tell she really enjoys spending time with them, and wants to do the best by them.

Molly was a wonderful pet sitter for my anxious/reactive 60lb gsd who she house sat for 1 month. My dog doesn't do well with alot of people so it was good to find someone who could work with her. She was also flexible in extending the pet sitting due to extraneous circumstances on my part and very thorough in communication. 100% would rebook again.
