“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.”
“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“Alexa is the best dog sitter you could possibly find. I get feedback photos of my dog enjoying her stay every day. She goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients and my dog loves her so much. In fact, I think my dog is very sad today because Alexa is not here.”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Sharon and Albert were awesome! They took great care of my dog and sent pics every day. I really felt as though he was in great, safe hands while I was away. They have a nice, securely fenced yard with room and toys for the dogs to play. Would definitely book with them again!”
“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.”
“Elisabeth is very detail oriented, easy to communicate with, and obviously loves animals. Her home and outdoor area is very well taken care of. She is very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. I appreciate her honesty about how my dogs did with her on their first visit. 605 fit right in and Lillie got comfortable during her stay. Lucille, however, was a little stressed as she is not used to being around other dogs so she went and found a hiding place. I will definitely book again, and hopefully, in time, Lucille will get more comfortable. This was their first time at this location.”
“Thank you Joe and Kristine for caring for Luna during our long trip away! I appreciated all the pictures sent and knew she was in good hands. I also appreciated your flexibility and understanding after my overlooking the extra time needed. Luna seemed so happy when I picked her up and I knew she had a wonderful time.”
“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.”
“Grant is so amazing with dogs. My dog is skittish around new people and Grant made him feel so comfortable and welcome right away. He sent so many cool videos and pictures of my baby. He has an inner yard and an outer yard with so much room for doggies to play. I can’t say enough good things about the experience.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our two dogs with Kandra. She was very responsive and I appreciated her flexibility. We will definitely plan on using her in the future and I would highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Ruby watched my pup while I was away and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the very first interaction, she was professional, friendly, and eager to ensure my boy felt comfortable and safe in my absence. Throughout the time I was away,, Ruby provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which made me feel at ease and reassured that my pet was being well cared for. I would highly recommend Ruby to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will certainly be booking again for my next trip!”
“Pamilla is a wonderful pet sitter. Our 15 year old dog who is active comes home happy after a stay with Pamilla. She has a secure yard and home and takes our Toby for walks. His 3rd stay with Pamilla is coming up in 2 weeks. Thank you Pamilla!”
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.
“Milagros was wonderful. She kept me updated about Francesco's whereabouts and how he was doing. She sent pictures several times a day. She was easy to talk to and a really wonderful person. Will definitely be booking again!”
