“Found Kade last minute and couldn’t be happier! She did a great job with my cats and was so friendly. Will definitely contact her again. Thanks!!”
“Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!”
“Thane did a wonderful job of caring for our fur babies! They were thoughtful and considerate to our cats needs and kept us well informed while we were away.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”
“Absolutely wonderful with my girl! My timid pup warmed right up to her, which usually does NOT happen so quickly, and loved the company. Kyla was responsive, communicative and was really great working with. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Maria was excellent with my our pups! One is super shy and warmed up quickly. The other has never ending energy and she kept him busy with fetch. 10/10 would definitely love for Maria to watch our dogs again”
“We hired Catherine because of her numerous great reviews. She was available for the time we needed and was prompt to schedule a meet and greet. Catherine was very likable, personable, and relatable. We needed someone who we could trust to watch our pups but also would be respectful to our home as well, knowing she had over 80+ great reviews gave us peace of mind. She watched our pups while we were away on vacation. She was very communicative and kept us up to date with how our fur babies were doing, sending updates and photos. We had her come to our home for 30 min visits, where she fed them, took them outside for potty breaks, and spent some time loving on them. We have a female 11 yr old yorkie, and a male 4 yr old vizsla,our yorkie is just loveable towards everyone, but our vizsla he was a bit apprehensive in the beginning with her but Cat was determined to win him over and by midweek he finally warmed up to her. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone who is looking for someone to come into their home and care for their pets.”
“Erin was great with our dogs and very attentive to their needs. We have 2 dogs, 1 old and the other is crazy, she handled both with ease. We’d request her again and recommend her services!”
“Abby is the best! She has been my go to sitter since moving to the area and is consistently reliable and helpful every time with making sure my cat is happy, safe & and fed while I’m away!”
“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”
“Kay was a fantastic help and super communicative. I really appreciated all of the notes and photos taken while we were away from our two cats and never stressed once about how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”
“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”
“Tatum is a gem! She is kind, attentive and very punctual for her visits. Bonus is that our elderly dog loves her! Highly recommend Tatum. Thank you Tatum!”
“Alyssia took excellent care of our three cats over the weekend with drop-in visits. We were able to truly relax knowing they were in such good hands! She sent updates after each visit, was very communicative, and even pulled in an unexpected package for us. She’s so sweet with our kitties, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Highly recommend!”
“As always Ana did an amazing job! She is my go to person for caring for my kitties. She is great at communicating and keeps my mind at ease while I’m away. Thank you so much!”
“Being away from my furbabies is always stressful. Nicole was able to ease my stress with her excellent care of my 3 furbabies. One super senior on lots of meds and the other two prior feral makes them not the easiest to care for. Nicole did great with walking, feeding and any special needs that occurred. I will use Nicole again should I need to travel without my furbabies.”

Woodland Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abigail was stellar as always! We are always so happy when she can come in to check on our two cats! She always spends time getting them to play (or to at least make an appearance). She's flexible, friendly, dependable, and we highly recommend her as a kitty checker-inner.
Tyler was fantastic! I felt very comfortable leaving my little baby in her hands. I will definitely book again!
We love Elijah!! Our cats are shy and all need different things and he has been able to earn their trust an affection. We feel so at ease whenever we go out of town because we know Elijah will take great care of our pets. We highly recommend his services!
Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!
Excellent job. I hope to have the opportunity to book again with Elizabeth. She gave my pets extra special care and was available on short notice. Thank you for such a great job and going above and beyond to care for my pets!
Kelly is the absolute best! She understands my cats and treats them like her own. I always feel so much better leaving town when I have her to watch my babies :)
We've had JP to watch our Ollie multiple times, and its always a breeze. Its great knowing we have someone who will go the extra mile and make our (very spoiled) dog happy while we are away! Highly recommend!
Abby did an incredible job with our two kitties! They can be a bit anxious but Abby made sure to spend ample time with them to make them feel comfortable while we were away. She was also able to give them daily medications without issue! Would highly recommend Abby and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Nicole was able to help me pretty last minute with checking on my pup, super communicative and was super great with Elvis. Thank you so much !
Emily was amazing! She was very communicative and FaceTimed with us before we left to make us comfortable. She sent us great pictures and was able to get our very shy cat to love her. Highly recommend if you want someone to care about your cats like they are their own!
Niely was responsive and communicative. Provided excellent care of my two adult/senior cats. 10/10 would book again.
Haley is a gem of a pet sitter!! She dropped by every day for a week to feed and play with my kitty while I was out of state. I loved the detailed summaries she sent each day after the visit. Highly recommend her to anyone :)
Brenna did an amazing job of checking in on my cat T. Rex while I was out of town! She was a great communicator and super flexible with my traveling times. I would 100% recommend her to other pet owners and am sure I will reach back out next time I need a drop-in again!!
Erica was great to work with and our pups really seemed to enjoy their time with her. She was attentive to their needs and gave everyone lots of snuggles while we were gone.
Erin was great with our dogs and very attentive to their needs. We have 2 dogs, 1 old and the other is crazy, she handled both with ease. We’d request her again and recommend her services!
Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!
Lindsey came through with a last minute request and she always takes care my little ones! She makes my life and job so much easier when I have last minute trips!
