Cynthia is caring and patient caregiver of my senior terrier when I’m out of town! I can’t recommend her enough. Definitely a returning customer here!

Cynthia took great care of my dog Buddy and sent regular texts and photos. It was a special challenge since it rained almost every day! Since this was my first time boarding Buddy, I'm really grateful for attention to my pup!

Even though it was pretty much an overnight stay, Cynthia sent plenty of photos that evening and the next day to update us. Our pup was well taken care of!

Cynthia cared for my terrier mix for a long weekend at such a short notice. She sent me frequent updates and shared any concerns she had. I believe she took better care of my dog than I do! I can’t recommend Cynthia enough!

Cynthia is very accommodating with great communication! She kept us updated throughout our pups stay and they seemed to be very comfortable in her space. This was a great experience overall.

Please let me know any specifics about your dog. Boarding dogs are required to bring their own food so they stay on their own diet. I will also need a vet record stating your dog is up to date on vaccinations. If booking daycare, hours are 7 am to 6 pm. If you need extended hours please book as if boarding even though you are picking up in the evening.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
