“I am more than pleased with the ❤️ and care DAMACIA provided for my 3 months puppy. I would recommend her and we will be going back. Was a little nervous at first, but she reassured me he would be fine even around other Fur Babies.”
“Matt was awesome - from the time we did a meet and greet I was at peace leaving my precious fur baby with him .He gave us regular updates and pictures This was the first time I left her for ten days but I was very pleased with his care .I would absolutely leave khushi with him again”
“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”
“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”

I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”
“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”

About: Hi, I'm Miki! I've had dogs my whole life, and adopted one of my very own (Scout) about 4 years ago! With several years of personal and professional experience, I'm confident I can provide a happy and safe space for your pet. :) As a dog owner, I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your pet, and my goal is to give my client's peace of mind knowing that their babies are being cared for just as I would my own dog! At the moment, I only host one dog at a time to make sure they get my full attention (or two from the same household). I have a ton of experience and knowledge with dogs, but particularly anxious/reactive dogs and am always happy to accommodate any special needs/requests. I work from home a few days a week and have an open weekend schedule, so Scout and I would love having another friend around to keep us company! We typically go on a minimum of 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon and night) for anywhere from 20 minutes- 1+ hours. Between walks, I have plenty of toys and mentally stimulating gadgets that Scout would be happy to share. :) While I don't have a yard, my neighborhood is the perfect dog-friendly spot with lots of trails, streams and parks! If your dog is hanging with us, you can expect an itinerary full of very dog centered activities (as usual) haha. I'm experienced working with low and high energy dogs and more than happy to follow your dogs typical schedule- whatever that may be! To maintain safe and calm environment for all pets, I do require that dogs are crate trained and feel comfortable being crated if I need to leave the house for a short time.

Woodland Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Le’Quitta did an EXCELLENT job caring for my quirky dog, Penny! I knew my dog would be in good and safe hands the moment I met Le’Quitta. This is only the second time I’ve left my dog with a Rover sitter, and I hit the jackpot both times. Penny now thinks of Le’Quitta and her family as part of our family. I will most definitely be reaching out to her again to dog sit! This was a great experience, and I highly recommend her!! Thanks sooooo much!
From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾
Lindsey and Brian did a great job taking care of our old girl. They were flexible with challenging airport drop off and pickup times as well. Pictures and updates throughout the stay made us feel confident she was in good hands and made leaving her easier. Will definitely rebook
Carolina was so kind and caring with Fefe! Fefe was very relaxed when we picked her up, which says it all. Carolina made her feel very at home and comfy, and gave her extra love when she was feeling a little out of sorts. Carolina followed our care instructions, including medications, very carefully, and communicated how she was doing throughout the entire stay. We definitely recommend Carolina!
Elise took great care of my senior dog Edgar. She had no trouble managing the various pills and supplements he needs for his kidney disease. She was responsive to any questions I had. Her cats were very friendly as well. Edgar was in high spirits when I picked him up. It's clear she cares a whole lot about animals. Highly recommended.
Kyla is a true gem! She cared for our pup KoKo for 12 days—his very first time away from us—and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving, attentive sitter. She helped him make new furry friends, took him on fun and stimulating walks, and even spent quiet time with him by the pool. Her gentle care and light training gave KoKo confidence and joy. When we picked him up, we could tell he’d had a blast and felt safe. Kyla’s home became a peaceful second home for our little guy. No wonder she’s a Star Sitter—we see why! Truly looking forward to using her services again and again!
This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous but Emily was amazing! We had a meet and greet beforehand so Olive could meet her dog and cats. Emily kept me updated throughout the week with lots of messages and pictures. I would absolutely book her again in the future!
Zahra pampered my twin shih-tzus for a whole week. My skittish baby girl took to Zahra immediately. The needy boy was a little apprehensive at first, but Zahra was able to calm him down shortly. Zahra kept me updated periodically on the well-being of my babies. Zahra showered the twins with affection. One thing stood out to me the most is that Zahra kept my twins' eyes super clean. Most good caregivers would keep your dogs body and legs clean but would miss the eyes. Not one particle of sleep or gunk on my two white shit-tzus' eyes, face, or body. Zahra is cheerful and accommodating. Scheduling drop off and pick-up was a breeze. I highly recommend Zahra. I would 100% use her again. Zahra is not just a pet sitter. She is more like a close family member watching your young kids while you are away.
