Gonzo N.'s Neighborhood

Hey! I love dogs, hiking, & food!

Pet care experience

Hey! I’m an absolute dog lover with extensive knowledge of various dog breeds. I’ve been dog sitting for many years, both on Rover and for friends and family - I grew up with dogs of all different breeds and sizes so I’m comfortable with any pup! I live in a spacious home with a fenced in yard perfect for playtime! I also live in an ideal neighborhood for long walks at anytime of the day. My retired parents live with me so your dog will always have the attention and care they deserve from 1-3 loving caregivers, especially since I also work from home! Your furry friend will be in great hands and will enjoy a safe, fun, and nurturing environment! I can’t wait to take care of your dog!

We left our dog Beau with Gonzo for five days while we were on vacation. He was very quick to respond during the booking process and even sent a couple photos to update us on how he was doing. It’s great to know that Beau was in great care while we were away.

Our dog Bella stay was perfect with gonzo and his family. They took such amazing care of her and loved getting the pictures of how she was doing while we were away. Thank you Gonzo and looking forward to the next stay!

We left our two dogs with Gonzo for 10 days, and we’re so glad we did. He managed them really well and kept them comfortable and safe throughout their stay. It was also a big relief knowing his family was present at home

Biscuit looks like she had a great time in Gonzos care. Gonzo has been very communicative and flexible. Definitely recommended and would book again.

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.
