“Christopher has been great for drop-in visits with my two dogs. My 5 year old doodle Ruthie is nervous around strangers and he put her at ease pretty quickly. My 4 month puppy Bodhi loves his play time with Christopher as well. He’s very attentive with Bodhi’s puppy antics and makes sure the dogs don’t play too rough. Christopher’s prompt communication before and after visits and genuine care for animals definitely earns him a 5 star recommendation!”
“Amy has been a great help to us! As a nurse my schedule can be unpredictable - but she is always reliable, kind and nurturing towards our dogs! I’m so grateful to have her around to help us with our two large and hyper dogs!”
“Awesome job with my furry troublemakers! Were very communicative leading up to and during the booked time. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs their furballs looked after.”
“Emily is wonderful! We’re always really grateful when she can watch our cats because we know they’re in great hands with her! She’s so kind and thoughtful and really goes above and beyond to make sure they’re cared for whenever we’re away.”
“Mary was very easy to work with on very short notice! She was prompt and professional in communicating and the dogs had a great time! I will definitely keep her in mind for the future. Thanks again!”
“Dalvane is the best! This was the first time we left our little guy home when my wife and I traveled, and we couldn't have felt better about our experience with Dalvane. His love for dogs is clear. Woofy (our dog!) took to him right away (which isn't typical with new people) - and Dalvane was incredibly responsive, responsible, and caring. We got lots of pictures of them on walks, hanging out in the apartment together, and having a good time. We felt totally at ease knowing what good hands Woofy was in - and we will 100% be working him Dalvane again. We feel lucky to have found him!!”
“Morgan was so helpful to me last minute, checking on and feeding Doobie his dinner. I know he was so happy to have her come hang out! I would definitely book with Morgan again.”
“Susan always does a fantastic job and I can go on vacation knowing that my cat will be well taken care of! She sends us daily pictures and videos and is always in touch if she has any concerns. I highly recommend Susan!”
About: I am a second year zoology major with the intention of further education in animal care. I have cared for the family dogs for just about six years (a combined number of four at this point). I am my family and friends' go to sitter. I am reliable and consistent. I am comfortable with pretty much anything, and have plenty of experience with reactive/aggressive dogs. During the summer I work full-time, and I'm a full-time student during the school year, however I don't have much going on outside of that and have plenty of time for drop-in care throughout the day. I’m also totally okay with overnight stays. Unfortunately, my own dogs don't allow for me to watch dogs within my own home. However, I'm happy to fulfill whatever responsibilities necessary within yours.
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Love! My fur baby was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and I was able to go on vacation knowing that he would be able to get the subcutaneous fluids that he needed. She was very communicative, paid attention to detail, and was able to troubleshoot as things came up. Would absolutely have Brittany take care of Love again in the future.”
“Danielle was fantastic! She took great care of our pets and clearly spent time with each of them. She provided updates and photos so that we could see our little fur babies while we were away, and she was able to pivot when one of our dogs showed some challenging behaviors. We were really glad to have her, and will definitely book with her again for future travel.”
“This guy is amazing! We never had a worry in the world while we were on vacation...since we got pictures and detailed summaries of the days he spent with the cats! I believe the cats miss him already! We'll definitely ask him again to take care of the cats! Thanks Glenn!!!!!”

University Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erin was absolutely wonderful! Our cat was a little under the weather, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was okay and to keep us updated. I was so nervous leaving town with our baby a little sick, and she really made me feel I was leaving him in good hands. Highly recommend Erin!
We absolutely loved having Peyton take care of our cat while we were at our wedding and honeymoon! She sent twice daily detailed updates on activity and feedings along with multiple pictures. It became something we looked forward to receiving everyday! She was punctual to all visits and was flexible when we needed to change a couple days. Cannot recommend her enough!

Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️
Rori was great, she gave our kitty Ramen lots of love and cuddles while we were out of town on a long vacation. Ramens food and water were always full and the litter box was clean. She helped with small thing like bringing mail and packages in so that we weren't over run upon our arrival! We will definitely higher Rori again in the future if our trips align.
