“Rebecca is incredible. I have an older dog with some pretty significant health concerns and I was so nervous leaving for my honeymoon. Rebecca did a great job covering some time and taking care of my dogs, and I was able to fully enjoy my wedding day and honeymoon. We also got stuck in an airport overnight when we were supposed to be home, and Rebecca was able to quickly take on an additional night on short notice. She was a great communicator and my dogs loved her.”


“Caitlin was awesome! Very caring and gave updates with photos while I was away! Tucker sure seemed to enjoy his weekend with Caitlin 🐶”


“Beckett was professional, calm and very easy to communicate with. Our dog and cat took to Beckett right away; we left feeling confident we’d return to happy pets.”


“Courtney arrived 15-min early before we needed to leave. She did an outstanding job with our puppies while we were away. No accidents in the house! She occasionally sent us photos of the puppies while we were away. Courtney is a person of good character and work ethic you can trust.”


“Liz was such a lifesaver for us this past week when we needed to be out of town. She kept us super informed of the day's events (including lots of pics of our 2 dogs and cat) and wasn't shy about asking questions on anything that was not clear. I was so impressed she got both of our dogs to behave on a walk at the same time :D We had great communication all day and it was obvious she took excellent care of the boys, as they were not at all stressed upon our return. We will definitely be calling on Liz again in the near future.”


“Devaney was great! My dog Junie takes a little extra time to warm up to people- Devaney was patient, allowing Junie to slowly build comfort. Devaney was communicative, sending pictures throughout the weekend, and left my house very clean! Would definitely recommend”


“Dana came and stayed with my two dogs for three nights and four days. She was fantastic! Very attentive and a great houseguest on top of being wonderful with the dogs! Will absolutely be using her again!”


“Glenn was fantastic! He housesat for us and provided excellent care for our dog. Additionally, he provided updates on a daily basis and, upon return, our home was as neat as the day we left. Without a doubt we would request Glenn again.”


“Andrew was great with our dogs and cat, two of them require daily medication, and a two year old schnoodle that needs a lot of attention.I loved that he kept me updated by text and with pictures. Came home to happy dogs and cat and a clean house. I will definitely use Andrew again next time we go out of town.”



“I had a great experience with Elizabeth. I had her dogsit in my home over the holidays, and I left feeling assured that everything would be handled without worry. Elizabeth kept me informed along the progression of the dogsit, and updated me with photos and texts. She was also willing to feed my 2 cats. I was away for 4 days. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”


“Octavia was very patient, observant, and a good problem solver with our socially resistant dog who can nip at people he doesn’t know. She has her own dog so is not doing this to get her dog needs met, but to make a living. She was a reliable communicator.”


“Sarah was EXCELLENT as a dog and cat sitter for us!! She was able to manage our three wild dogs and cat beautifully. They LOVED her and we got frequent updates. She woke up early to get them out and made sure they had love, attention and walks throughout the day. Was very respectful of the house and our rules. The dogs and cat can’t wait to see her again!”


“Riley was great! He was incredibly accommodating and respectful to us and our dogs. Both of our dogs are 65+ pounds and he handled them well! One of our dogs can be a bit of a jerk at initial meetings, but Riley handled him well and was able to get our dog to warm up to him. He sent photos of the dogs without having to ask and was responsive to all of our messages. We left during one of the coldest, windiest weeks in January, and Riley had no problem making sure the dogs were walked during that time. You can be certain that Riley will take excellent care of your dogs.”

“We enjoyed meeting Christian and Holly. They were a great team with Ruby. They took really good care of her. They were responsive with pics and texts. They took great care of our home. Ruby was happy when we arrived home. We were extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend . We will definitely book them again.”


“Chris is simply the best! You always want someone who will treat your pets with the same level of love and attention that you give them and he certainly delivers on that. He spent an entire day with our boy, on a holiday no less, while we were away on an important trip. He gave us detailed updates, sent us the most adorable pictures, and made us feel safe and comfortable with him handling both our beloved dog and our home. Chris is incredibly friendly, super understanding, and highly responsive. My husband kept saying "This guy is the real deal, he is really awesome" whenever Chris would send us updates. We will absolutely be having him back again and can't thank him enough for being himself and for being an excellent caretaker to our dog!”


“He is always so patient and loving to my dogs. He is truly someone who cares about animals in general, and knowing my pets are in good hands allows me to enjoy my vacations. I highly recommend him.”


“We would absolutely recommend having Shari care for any of your pets while you are away. We went overseas for 15 days and hired Shari to stay at our house to care for our 4 cats and 2 huskies. She was amazing. The dogs had a ton of walks, all animals were well taken care of. Shari was also an excellent house sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Shari again for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Shari!!”


“Marti was able to care for my animals rather last minute. This is second time I have had her at my home. I received pics daily of my fur babies which made me so happy! She was easy to get a hold of and quick w/ responses. She made me aware of a slight issue at my home (not animal-related) as soon as she was able & I appreciated that very much. I came home to clean litter boxes, well taken care of animals and my home looked like it did when I left it. She even brought in all my Amazon packages!”


“Brittany is the best. She is not only a great dog sitter, but a knowledgeable one who absolutely loves animals. I hope to use her services in the future.”


“Michael was awesome! Took great care of our girl and kept us posted with pictures and messages. So glad we decided to have him stay in our home as our dog is older and we didn't want to disrupt her routines. Would highly recommend and plan to use again.”

University Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marti took great care of our dog Molly while we were on vacation. We appreciated the daily updates and pics. She also left our house perfectly clean. We will definitely use her as a pet sitter again in the future.

Christopher is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog absolutely adores him! He is extremely reliable and responsive and I highly recommend him!

Dana came and stayed with my two dogs for three nights and four days. She was fantastic! Very attentive and a great houseguest on top of being wonderful with the dogs! Will absolutely be using her again!

Rebecca took great care of our pets and our house while we were away for a few days! She was great with communicating and she made sure that everyone got everything they needed. Rebecca spent quality time with them as well, and we could tell the pets had a good time while we were away.

Morgan really put me at ease with all of the updates she sent while she looked after our dog for the weekend. Booking was easy and Molly was well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and we hope to use her as a pet sitter again

Devaney was great. She got along with the Bug and constantly was sending pictures of him and updates. The two weeks vacation was shortened by a week due to an unexpected medical emergency with the Bug. Devaney handled it like a true professional that she is and got him to the emergency pet hospital with no time wasted. She kept in contact with me and the medical staff through the duration until I could return from across the country. She was waiting for me late at night when I returned. She treated the Bug like he was her own. You can't ask for more. I would recommend her to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Highly recommend Andrew! He took great care of our 9-week-old puppy and made us feel at ease while we were away

Becca was very responsive. She maintained clear lines of communication, alerted me to any concerns, however minor and provided outstanding care for my animals and bird. My puppy, who had never been away from me, and sleeps with me, was content and happy with Becca. She also took the initiative to put trash barrels out on trash night when she saw the need and she left the house tidier than when she came. I would definitely use her services again.

Dalvane is Fez’ favorite sitter and he always leaves our place very clean. He’s our go to anytime we’re out of town.

Tea is great with our anxious dog. Tea maintains great communication, sends pics, and is respectful of our house. We’ve hired Tea several times, and plan to do so again in the future.

Noah was a great house sitter. Our large puppy was happy and healthy. We got pictures and updates often. We would use Noah again for sure.

We absolutely loved having Kaley watch our kitty, Pishi! She took care of him like he was her own baby—lots of playtime, cuddles, and love. We are sure Pishi misses her so much. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and attentive cat sitter!

I can’t express how happy I am with Brittany! She was wonderful, attentive, and took care of everything exactly as needed. I look forward to the next time I can have her stay with my fur babies.

Cyanne was a big help when we went out of town for the weekend. Despite a busy work schedule, she took great care of our dogs and cat! Would highly recommend!

Sandra was amazing with my small dog and cats! I felt immediately comfortable with her and she made sure to send me daily updates with pictures. She did such a great job and I definitely recommend her for pet sitting!

Lauren was great with our dogs! She was very communicative and sent updates without being asked. When our naughty doodle got into some medication she wasn't supposed to (no fault of Lauren's) Lauren was upfront, honest, attentive and kept a close eye to make sure our pup was okay. Would definitely have her come back, I know our pups would love to see her!

Grace was fantastic! She arrived right on time and kept me updated withl texts and photos throughout the stay. When I got home, my dog was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. I’d absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Christian and Holly were great! The dogs were happy and calm upon our return, and they provided frequent photos and updates while we were out of the country.
