Pet care by Grandma

Pet care experience

Let your dog run free in my fully fenced large backyard. I find myself without a dog for the first time in 40 years and I miss the companionship a dog offers. I love to be outside gardening and would love a four legged friend to join me.

Susan took great care of our two Goldens! She sent daily updates (including photos) and responded promptly to our texts. Our dogs came back happy and tired from running around in her large (private and securely fenced) yard.

My dog always loves to visit Susan’s house. Susan is always communicative and sends lots of photos to let me know my pup is having a good time!

We felt so relieved that our slightly elderly dog Layla was able to stay with Susan, who is an absolute gem! She was so welcoming to Layla and we knew that our dog was happy to stay with her because instead of being guarded as usual, she wagged her tail and was excited to see Susan. In our case it helped a lot that Layla was the only pet in the house, since she doesn't do well around other animals. Susan's home is so beautiful and warm, and her yard!!!!! Truly spectacularly gorgeous! We are happy to have found Susan and can highly recommend her. I think Layla could feel her love immediately. So grateful that we found a wonderful home away from home for our precious dog.

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.
