Information Larry V. would like to know about your pet

The usual questions are around diet, sleeping arrangements, exercise, etc. The key to a happy guest dog is trying to replicate their home routine as much as possible. It's pretty rare to have a guest dog who has any significant aggression issues (except minor things like toy/food guarding, etc.) , but knowing this ahead of time is important. I can deal with aggression -- just need to know a detailed history.

I had a very good experience. Larry communicated easily and he was flexible with drop off and pick up times. My golden seemed happy there playing with his friendly dogs.

Buster had a great time. He came home and went right to sleep. Thank you for taking such good care of him.

We felt confident in leaving our aging Cavalier King Charles spaniel with Larry for about nine days while we were out of the country. It was clear upon pickup that Brandy had enjoyed a good time with him at his home. We highly recommend Larry and are glad we booked early to ensure we could fit into his schedule during the busier holiday season.

Larry is great !! I relocated a year ago to the desert and finding a responsible and personable pet sitter was super important to me. The thought of her being boarded in a kennel was not going to work for me. I highly recommend Larry to anybody that wants their furry baby left in good hands.

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.
