“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
“Alexa bonded instantly with our pup and was committed to providing him with the best home away from home possible! She sent loads of pictures and checked in regularly, and it was clear from the photos that he could not have been happier! Thankful to have found such a happy place for Brady to land - he is looking forward to future stays with Alexa!”
“Nick and his wife are committed in making sure my pets have a nice experience while we are out of town. They are warm people that you can tell love your animals as much as you do. Both of them come extremely recommended.”
“Shelly was great with our dogs, and they seemed to have had a great time. When we got them home they needed a nap after playing so much. Shelly's dogs are great and very friendly, our dogs liked them very much. Her property had a great deal of room for the dogs to run and play. Our dogs enjoyed being with Shelly's kids as well.”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Patti + Joe were AWESOME! I highly recommend using their services. This was the first time that our two little puppies a. were ever away from us for more than a few hours and b. their first time around other dogs since they were just fully vaccinated 1.5 weeks prior to their stay with Patti + Joe. We REALLY appreciate you taking great care of Kona and Olina. Regards, Chris + Jenn”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the service Matt provided. He was super kind, professional, and kept us in the loop about Duke. He even sent photos of our dog which really helped us feel more comfortable being far away for a short time. Matt was also very flexible with time as we had some delays for pick up and drop off. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants their dog to feel loved and safe while away. 10/10!”
“15/10 would recommend booking Sara for your pet sitting needs. We were unable to board our dog at a traditional kennel due to her being a rescue and her anxiety. Sara made our dog, Nola, feel like she was at her second home the entire stay. Her and her husband are incredibly kind and they have a huge property, with a private pond, and all of the activities for your fur baby. We felt instant relief knowing that our dog was in such good hands and in a safe and fun place. For the first time I'm years, we were able to fly home for Thanksgiving and we left Nola there for 7 days. Throughout the entire trip we received photos and videos showing how happy Nola was and that she was safe. We joked that she wasn't going to want to come home afterward because she was having such a blast. If you are on the fence about using this service or booking Sara, here is your sign to do it! We will absolutely be booking with her for any trips we have in the future. It is so wonderful to know we have someone we trust to watch our girl. Thank you again, Sara, for your kindness, generosity, and beautiful spirit! We can't wait to see you again! -Scott & Melody”
About: We've had Golden Retrievers since 2005 and LOVE Goldens. We currently have three Goldens - Red (age 6), Max (age 5), and Riley (age 3). We often dog sit for our family and friends that have Goldens and I love it so much, I decided to start a Rover account to do it for others that have Golden family members and need a fun, reliable place for them to go when they travel or need boarding. I'm a self-employed educational psychologist with a flexible schedule. I often work from home and am off over the summer and during school holiday breaks. We have three Golden Retrievers (ages 3, 5,and 6) who get a lot of activity. We have a huge fenced back yard, and a fenced front yard, and play fetch every day out back with the ball thrower. We also go on walks around the neighborhood. We have a doggy door, and the dogs go in and out at their leisure. Our dogs are a major part of our family. They're always with us. They sleep in my bed. Your golden(s) can sleep in my bed or room, too, or in a crate if that's what they're used to. We also have two kids (age 11 and 8), so your dog must be good with kids, as well as with other dogs.
“Great experience for us and Lucy!!!! Our dog is elderly (15) and Ruchi and her family were so welcoming and caring. Agree with all the previous reviews home is so clean and they were attentive to our dog and their dogs-who Lucy got along with just fine! We did the meet and greet and then an overnight before we leave her for extended period. It was so great to receive the text updates and pictures- Definitely put a sense of ease and peace for us as we have not left her before other than with family. Thank you!!😊”
“My Lily had another great stay with Blair. I can’t say enough about the love and care my Lily receives with Blair. We miss Lily so much and the pictures Blair sends really help. Lily has a second home with Blair. He is wonderful.”
“Milagros was great! Her yard is secure and shaded. She clearly loves dogs and is knowledgeable about them. Milagros gave Riley plenty of love and attention. She also took her on daily walks to the park. We appreciated her quick responses and enjoyed the daily communication and pictures.”
“Jena and her family took the absolute best care of our dog, Juno. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. They treated her like one of their own, and it showed. Juno was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We had total peace of mind while we were away, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jena again. Highly recommend!”
“I recently hired Siyao to look after my dog, Cole, and couldn't be happier with the experience. Siyao is professional and genuinely passionate about animals. She provided regular updates with photos and videos, giving me peace of mind. Cole looked happy and well-cared for, receiving lots of love and attention. Siyao went above and beyond, taking Cole on fun walks and engaging in playtime. I highly recommend Siyao to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. Her dedication and love for dogs is evident. I will definitely use Siyao’s services again. Thank you, Siyao, for taking such wonderful care of Cole!”
“Elaine is an amazing, experienced sitter and knew just how to help Floyd feel comfortable and settle in for a short stay. I appreciate the great communication and frequent updates. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring environment for their animals.”
“My Lily had her first overnight stay with Amber. Lily was happy when she had a moment to get the lay of the land. Amber was very welcoming and showed Lily attention immediately. Her home is very inviting and I went away very comfortable. Amber sent photos during Lily’s stay, which is very nice. Lily was very happy when we picked her up. I believe Amber did a wonderful job of taking care of Lily. I hope to use Amber’s services again in the future.”
