“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”
“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”
“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Hilary and Willy were excellent hosts for Banjo! Our introduction started with a meet and greet, where Hilary spent a bit of time getting to know Banjo and ensuring she knew everything she could ahead of his stay. During his stay they sent several pics to let me know he was doing ok, which is always great when you're leaving your furry friend with new people. They took him for lots of walks and did whatever they could to make sure he was comfortable. Hilary and Willy are both super sweet people and I was very comfortable leaving Banjo in their care. It was evident upon first meeting that they really love spending time with animals and I didn't worry for one second that they would treat Banjo like he was their own. I will definitely use their services again!”
“As always, Matt is a fantastic dogsitter. He took great care of our Dalmatian and Dachshund while we were out of the country, even giving extra love and TLC to our little girl when she had some tummy upset.”
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of.

Woodland Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
Joy was Amazing. She took care of our dog and she kept us informed and sent us lots of pictures! She was able to give our little one her medication and was very responsive. Definitely will book with her in the future! Made our little girl feel safe and loved.
She was great with my puppy! Sent me photos and videos. Definitely trusting her with Oliver again! 😊
Ethel is our favorite dog sitter for our pup when we go on trips and can’t bring him along. She is very kind and attentive with him, giving him lots of love and pets and being sure to keep us updated with lots of pictures. Our dog enjoys getting to spend time with other dogs when he stays with Ethel. It’s great for his socialization and allows him lots of time to play and have fun while we are out of town. Ethel is great!! Highly recommend!
Cindy did a great job watching Lucy and she was a good communicator. She sent me daily pictures and I could tell my pup was happy as a clam.
Joleya made Oreo feel so comfortable that I thought he wouldn’t want to come home! She was kind and responsive and flexible when we had to modify the pick up type. When I picked him up he was his usual happy go lucky self. I can tell he had an amazing time! I would absolutely love to utilize Joleya’s services 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!
Maddox is responsive and kind! Our difficult dog was well cared for. We would definitely reach out to Maddox again and highly recommend.
Michaela is an amazing and dedicated dog sitter! She’s very personable and professional as well. She provided us regular updates and photos of our two pups, Rodger and Bailey. She accommodated our dog who has known back/neck issues and was patient with our other dog who is reactive. We highly recommend her to anyone else! :)
Darien was really responsive and helped work around our schedule. Our dog Whisky was immediately comfortable with Darien and he forgot about us. We got regular updates on how he was doing. We'd recommend Darien to anyone to trust with their dog.
Jayden was GREAT! He keep me updated on what Dallas was doing and how much fun he was having! I had clear and communication and felt as ease with him caring for my dog. Thank you so much and if I need you in the future to care for him, I will definitely try to rebook!
Tiffany did a great job watching Brodie! Will definitely be coming back whenever I take my next trip.
Karly was great! Stella seemed to enjoy her long weekend and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Karly, getting updates and pictures every so often!
Lila was exceptional with care and communication for our older dog while we were away. She went above and beyond when he wasn't feeling well and was having extended issues, and we were relieved to come back to a happy, recovering doggo. Highly recommend Lila as a friendly, responsive, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!
Kyla is kind, professional and prompt! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures.
Lupe took such good care of my little baby Walter Sherman! He is an energetic puppy but she was able to keep him entertained and out of trouble. I loved getting all of the updates and photos, it made me feel so happy to know he was in loving hands. 10/10 we already have our next stay booked!
Denise provided daily updates of Penny's adventures, and Penny got along great with her dog Luke. I would definitely use Denise again!
