“Kerri is absolutely amazing! I am so happy I came across her on Rover. She took great care of my furbaby. Her home is clean and peaceful. It’s evident she and her husband truly love dogs. I have already booked my little guys next visit. Thank you Kerri!!!”


“Jess was great! I was really worried about having a sitter for my two dogs but she took care of them like they were princesses! Very nice, caring and kind. She even put up with me acting like I was taking my kids to their first day of kindergarten crying like a baby. Thank you Jess and I look forward to working with you again.”


“I am so grateful to Lasya and Seshu for being such wonderful hosts to my beloved Sage. They went above and beyond to accommodate my last-minute booking during a family emergency, which truly meant a lot to me. Sage had an incredible time with Lasya, Seshu, and their adorable dog, Simba. It warmed my heart to see how well Sage and Simba bonded, bringing joy to each other throughout the stay. I can’t recommend Lasya and Seshu highly enough, they genuinely are the best. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be treated with the utmost love, care, and respect in their hands.”


“Allesha took great care of my dog. Her house and yard are lovely and she sent me many updates and took care to get my finnicky dog to eat. Allesha's dogs are very friendly and playful, but she is perceptive of body language and sets up gates in the house if one dog needs a break. She was also flexible with our vacation plans when they changed. I recommend her!”


“Our Arthur had a great time. Natalia sent is updates and photos during his stay. It was great, he was so tired when he got home. I will 100% use her services again and I would recommend her to anyone. Arthur was in great hands and company.”

She kept me updated with pictures and messages every day, which made me feel at ease while I was away. I could tell my dogs were very comfortable and happy with her. You can really see that she loves animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter!”


“I would trust leaving my dog here any time. He was loved and cared for by this amazing couple like he was their own. This was my first time trusting anyone with my dog and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Received daily pictures and updates, was able to enjoy vacation worry free. Highly recommended!”


“I can’t speak highly enough of Tammy. I absolutely hate leaving my precious lil’ guy anywhere but I could tell as soon as she opened the door that I had found the right pet sitter. She was communicative, friendly, and very involved in making sure Jordy had a great time while he was there. 10/10 would definitely recommend.”


“Frankie came home tired and that’s a sign of a good stay. We got updates and pictures during our overnight boarding and we’re very pleased. Will definitely use Whitney & Samuel in the future.”

“I am so grateful to have found Amanda. She is such a sweet person and her care of my dog was exceptional, administering meds and food at specific times.

I will use her services again and highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for the best dog sitter in the area.”

I’m also happy she has dogs of her own so my puppy could make friends. She kept in touch with me, answered all my questions & sent photos. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thanks so much Kelly I appreciate you.”

Oakwood Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole responded in a timely manner to our dates requested. She was communicative. She responded well to our check ins amd let us know how our dog was behaving and the activities he was up to. We had a delay on our pick up. She was flexible and prepared for our late arrival!

Kelly has been so helpful and responsive as we’ve left our pup with her while we attended a funeral locally. We couldn’t have asked for a more friendly and loving sitter for our dog. She had a lovely home filled with toys and beds, ready for fun. We have appreciated the photos she sent us to ease minds. I wish we lived closer so that we could use her more often! We will definitely schedule her when we are in town visiting family.
