Dog Boarding in Old Fort Jim, CA

“Sharon and her husband took great care of Cooper while we were away. Their house and yard are well equipped for the task, and they had several friends for Cooper to play with! We received frequent photo updates from them, and Cooper was having fun in all of them. They took him on walks and ensured he got plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend Sharon for anyone looking for a good ‘Home away from home’ for their pup!”

“Our 70 lb dog LOVES going by Michelle. I actually feel a bit guilty I don’t take him there more often! He gets so excited at the front door and is thrilled to see her when he arrives. I always appreciate the photos and videos she sends. I 100% know our dog is well cared for and very much loved while he is in her care.”

“The fact that my dog remembered and was excited to see Elisabeth after staying with her only one time, last year, says a lot!!! My dog’s second vacay with Elisabeth, just like the first, was wonderful! Zachary was kept busy with fun outdoor activities and I received numerous email/photo updates throughout the trip so I could see how Zachary was doing. I really appreciate how Elisabeth is so attentive and easy to work with and I am definitely confident that my dog was well-taken care of. Thanks again!”

“We usually board our dogs at a kennel, but our current dog has kennel stress and that was not an option for us this time. A friend suggested the Rover app to find somebody who would watch our dog in their home. This led us to Sara. We can not say enough good things about Sara. She was awesome to work with, very personable, and always responded to our texts in a timely fashion. But more importantly, our dog loved it at her home. She sent us daily videos and photos of our dog playing and having fun with the other dogs being boarded. It was very reassuring to get these daily photos and know our dog was well cared for and enjoying herself. Sara has a large fenced area for the dogs to run in, but she also welcomes them into her home and on her furniture (sign of a true dog lover!). Sara was also very accommodating when our dog needed a special diet for a few days. This was such a positive experience all around. We will never take our dog to a kennel again. Thank you Sara- you are the best!”

“Michelle and dave are great pet sitters. Franklin had a fabulous time for two weeks in their care. They are very sweet people who took a true interest in our dog and sent me several pictures along the way. They have a great big yard and three friendly little dogs that Franklin had a lot of fun with. We highly recommend them.”

About: We've had Golden Retrievers since 2005 and LOVE Goldens. We currently have three Goldens - Red (age 6), Max (age 5), and Riley (age 3). We often dog sit for our family and friends that have Goldens and I love it so much, I decided to start a Rover account to do it for others that have Golden family members and need a fun, reliable place for them to go when they travel or need boarding. I'm a self-employed educational psychologist with a flexible schedule. I often work from home and am off over the summer and during school holiday breaks. We have three Golden Retrievers (ages 3, 5,and 6) who get a lot of activity. We have a huge fenced back yard, and a fenced front yard, and play fetch every day out back with the ball thrower. We also go on walks around the neighborhood. We have a doggy door, and the dogs go in and out at their leisure. Our dogs are a major part of our family. They're always with us. They sleep in my bed. Your golden(s) can sleep in my bed or room, too, or in a crate if that's what they're used to. We also have two kids (age 11 and 8), so your dog must be good with kids, as well as with other dogs.

“Left our dog with Melissa for five days and all went well. She followed care and feeding instructions and walked her every morning and sent photos.”

“Noah was great! Both my hyperactive puppy and more staid golden retriever appeared happy in the many photos he sent, and when I picked them up. They seemed to get a lot of attention, and Noah seems nice, caring and unflappable.”

“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
