Pet care experience

In order to create a safe environment for our smaller friends, I only accept dogs under 25lbs. I have been a preschool and kindergarten teacher most of my life. I bring the same love and care to the animals in my home, that I brought to the children in my class. I have had dogs all my life. I know how important they are to you. They are that important to me as well.

Another great overnight stay for my dog Tony. Ron and his puppies are the greatest!

What to say about Ron? I’m out of superlatives for him and his care. Jack loves him and so do we! Thank him so much

As usual our dog had a great time with Ron (and Lily and Cannoli). That's why we book him as quickly as possible when we schedule a trip. She feels right at home and runs right in. We especially appreciate all the photos he sends.

Ron is a warm dog-loving guy whom I totally trust with my dog. His two little dogs get along great with my dog, and sleep in a little group. My dog hates to be left alone so I appreciate that Ron doesn’t leave home much. He helped my dog learn to use the doggie door which was new to him.

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.
