I have a fenced in yard. Both my home and my yard are small so larger or rambunctious dogs might not be a good fit here. But smaller dogs would be quite comfy here and even larger older dogs that are more sedate.

We had a dog sitter lined up for a long trip that fell through a month beforehand. We're so happy we found Renee! We have two dogs with different quirks and were nervous about leaving them with a new sitter for a longer trip, but after meeting Renee she put us and our pups at ease! They were instantly comfortable around her. She provided lots of updates and it looks like our pups had a blast. Would not hesitate to book with Renee again or recommend!

Renee has welcomed Prince twice, most recently a weekend boarding. I am totally pleased with the care she provided and she is very warm and accommodating. I forgot my dog’s food and could not take the time needed to go back home and retrieve it. Renee was prepared—telling me “He won’t go hungry “ . He didn’t and had a ball playing with other dogs. I will use her again.

Renee was friendly, communicative, and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog for the week. We looked forward to her daily videos she sent which gave us peace of mind. Would book again!

Renee did a great job watching my dog Blu! She took him on walks, played with him each day, and brought him to the dog park once as well. She sent photo updates everyday. I would definitely recommend and would book with Renee 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.
