“Tracy and her husband were amazing! They responded quickly and had great communication. They provided a lot of photos and the doggies looked very happy in them. Would not hesitate to book again!”
“Meerim & Saumya were amazing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They took care of our dog Bailey for 2 weeks and the entire experience was exceptional. It was clear they treated her like family. Meerim & Saumya were attentive, loving, and thoughtful in every aspect of her care. Bailey was comfortable in their home and we received plenty of photos and updates! When she was picked up, Bailey was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time, which says everything! I would happily trust them with Bailey again.”
“Fang took great care of our dog Aspen during her weekend stay. She is very responsive and flexible and sent many updates with pictures and videos during her stay. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pup! Will definitely book again in the future 😊”
“We can't say enough good things about Jasmine! She truly went above and beyond for Buddy. We loved receiving her daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from all the pictures that Buddy had a great time and was happy as could be while enjoying all his favorite activities. Thank you Jasmine for all your care!”
“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”
“My 2 dogs stayed with Jennifer for 10 days while we were traveling overseas. We were really happy to see them being cared for in her home. She regularly sent us their updates with the photos and messages with all their activities. They were treated like family in a very natural home setting. We will certainly have them stay with her in the future when we need the help. A great experience overall!”
“They were both so awesome and helpful. Extremely organized, they had a checklist to make it easier to be sure that everything was packed. They went above and beyond, grooming my long haired poodle, giving her a cute bandana and a packet of goodies. Ana, my dog, had a great time, and I can't say enough good things.”
“Another great stay for our Sofia with Edward and Elisha! Love all the fun photos of Sofia at play, walks and resting….very reassuring to know that she is in such good caring hands. Thanks so much ! Marc & Helen”
“Min Jin and Mi Ran were so wonderful to work with and watch Theo. They were incredibly responsive, gave multiple updates with lots of photos (which I greatly appreciated) and were more than willing to spend time to make sure he would eat (as it always takes him a bit to settle into a new routine). They did an absolutely amazing job watching Theo and I would highly recommend them!”
“Christina was a great sitter for my pup. Easy to communicate with, great location, regular walks and updates, and very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter, and will definitely book again!”
“Iryna was very kind and accommodating with our puppy’s first boarding experience! Her communication was excellent, with lots of pictures, helping us understand he was doing fine and following up when there were needs or questions. Would highly recommend!”
“Shan, her husband and their friendly pup Song song are great hosts! We boarded our dog Chintoo with Shan and everything was smooth right from the beginning. Communication was perfect and she sent plenty of pictures/videos throughout the stay. Chintoo was well cared for and was in good company with happy and playful Song song, and got plenty of activity and playtime. It was a great experience boarding Chintoo with Shan, totally recommend!”
“Manli was terrific! Beautiful home and a pleasant environment. She sent me daily pictures of how my Mac was doing, which was especially great given this was his first time boarding in someone's home (instead of a kennel). Highly recommended!”
“We had an excellent experience with Michael boarding our dog for a week. We received regular updates, and it was clear our dog was in great hands. If you're looking for a communicative, flexible, and caring sitter, we highly recommend Michael!”
“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”
“Ali was awesome! We booked with another sitter and that arrangement did not work as planned. Ali stepped in with a very short same day notice and was able to take over and provide care for our very energetic puppy. He provided regular updates and communication was easy. More importantly, he took really good care of our dog and we got him back in great shape. Highly recommended and we'll surly be back next time we need care for our dog. Thank you Ali!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I've cared for dogs with medical challenges and disabilities and my own dog, Harold, is paralyzed in his rear end. Your dogs will be a part of our family for the time they stay with me. I work mostly from home but may go to the office a few days a week for a few hours. I run in the morning, if your dog is athletic they will come with, or go out for a mellow walk in the morning. I live in a quiet neighborhood behind a park where the dogs can run and walk. I care for dogs in my home. The house has a fenced back yard and we can take trips to dog parks, if your dog is into that. I have two dogs (a lab and a chihuahua mix) so your dog will have dog buddies to play with.
Fair Meadow dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jen is absolutely wonderful with Porter and Samantha! They’re both super energetic and can be a bit of a handful, but she makes sure they feel loved and gets them the attention they need. Samantha had some tummy troubles while Jen was here, and she handled the situation with such a smile and love. She’s truly amazing and caring!
Rachel is so caring and amazing! She sends pics and updates and she really works well with my dog who has bad anxiety. When my mom was in the hospital she was flexible in keeping Rudy for longer and was asking about my welfare. I could tell she really cares about my dog Rudy!
Yun and Lina are very kind and caring. Tobin can definitely be naughty, he loves food and will try to eat anything he can, but he was well loved and comfortable in their home. I was out of the country for two weeks and they gave me regular updates throughout. Tobin did accidentally eat chocolate but Yun and Lina were very responsible and communicative, they brought him to the emergency vet and I was able to speak to them and the vet for Tobin’s treatment. Tobin was totally fine and remained happy at their home till I returned. I was put at ease as they were able to care for him even with the accident, and he was very relaxed when I brought him home.
Courtney has been our hero, for more than one holiday seasons! She always takes perfect care of our dog and cats, plays with them A LOT, and sends beautiful pictures. We never need to worry about anything during our trips because we know our furry family are in good hands.
Hanzhi and Betty did an excellent job taking care of our pups. Hanzhi sent lots of pictures and videos so we could stay updated. They were well taken care of and were walked several times a day. Note that Hanzhi seems to be the primary caregiver and Betty is the primary interface (due to language),.They are very popular sitters, so there may be other pups there at the same time.
