Patient and Caring Dog Lover

I have had dogs my whole life and trained most of them. I love senior dogs and have over 10 years of experience in taking care of Sr dogs. My last 3 dogs lived to 16, 15 and 13. My last dog and current dog is adopted from a shelter and I’ve learned to be patient and gentle with shelter dogs. I’m am allergic to cats so unfortunately I won’t be able to care for them. I do work from home so your pup will never have to wait to use the bathroom or be locked in a room or crate for hours at a time. My pup has full range of the house and your pup will too. During the first intro of my dog to yours I will keep my dog in her crate until they feel comfortable with each other. During feeding I do separate the pups and put my dog in her crate to eat. Things to bring when boarding: - Dog Bed - Crate / Blanket (if they use one) - Piece of clothing that smells like your pup’s favorite person - Food - Food and Water Bowels - Treats - 1 to 2 favorite toys - Collar and/or harness - Leash Recommendations but not required: - washing your pup before dropping them off at boarding - clipping their nails

Nicole took great care of Whiskey and sent me lots of videos and pictures of him having fun and playing with her dog. I felt at ease leaving him with her and knowing he was safe.

Second time booking and she took care of Diamond very well while I was out of town. She did an amazing job making sure Diamond was taken care of.

I use roover often, and I have never had such a bad experience before. When my dog arrived he had diarrhea due to his food being changed but he is house trained does as such. I received numerous complaints and calls while away on vacation about how she could not care for him due to him have to pee and diarrhea so often but she continues to ask him to go outside and he says yes every time as I expect any dog would. I explained to her the issue and she could not provide care for him and kept telling me he was sick. Eventually she wanted to charge me more due to him having to take him out more to use the bathroom. Thankfully, Roover had to locate another sitter who did take him with no issues. I have not had any complications since he has been with his new sitter. I just don’t believe she is an experienced with taking care of dogs. I do not recommend.
