House Sitting • Nov 04, 2025

This was our first experience using Rover. Russell was wonderful from the beginning. He came to my house to meet me and the dogs prior to staying with them. I really appreciated that he took that extra step to make me feel comfortable about leaving my 2 dogs with him. He was really communicative the whole 6 days we were gone and sent me daily messages and photos of the dogs playing or getting pets. He has a Staffordshire also so I didn’t worry about him being comfortable with our big girl. The little one is the one that requires patience and he had plenty of that too. A genuine good guy with some maturity. I knew he would follow through with what he agreed to. That to me was very comforting. Thanks again Russell!

Russell is a compassionate person with people and pets. He will be attentive and provide loving care for your fur baby. Russell watched all 3 of my dogs, providing them food and daily exercise for a week, giving me peace of mind knowing they were in good care allowing me to enjoy my vacation.

Russell is the most wonderful human being to care for our two large pups! He knew them from age 8 weeks to 4 years old. He developed their trust and love and they respected him. We were incredibly saddened when he moved. We highly recommend Russell to anyone. He is a true blue dog lover and friend.

It's important to know what your dog likes and needs so we can have a great time together. It would be great to meet you and your dog beforehand so we can discuss any activities your dog likes and dislikes.
