“Our experience with Crystal is phenomenal. We are a repeat client for dog boarding. She listens to what the dog owner says to ensure our pet is safe when it comes to our pet needs. She communicates pretty well & updates you without being asked which also include photos which is wonderful. She is highly recommended & her service is above 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ stars. You can definitely trust her with your fur babies. She has a clean and welcoming home & her fenced yard will keep your pets safe. Your pet may find a new friend while under her care like mine.”
“Samantha was amazing with Nala! She watched her for us this weekend and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nala was being well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again soon! ❤️🐾”
“I had Jennifer keep my little guy over night, and want to say that she is just the person for the task. She loves dogs, and I knew she’d take care of him like her own. And upon pick up he was happy and taken care of! Thanks Jennifer!”
“Bosun loves to stay with Nina! She is so attentive to him and informs us on a regular basis of their time together. She treats Bosun as if he is her own baby boy dog! We couldn’t be happier with the care he gets. Thank you Nina!”
“Dara is really sweet person. She took care of Simba very well, Simba loved her dogs and he had a great play time when he was boarding at Dara’s. She was very active in sending daily updates about Simba. I would definitely use her services again.”
About: I am a pet momma who loves animals and help families out when needed as I know how hard it is to find good care for their furbabies while away. I am currently off summers so free time is easy but when school starts again I will fit the pet care in after work or weekends. I make things work. I love animals and take very good care of them. I treat them like they are my own pets. Whatever needs they need i will care for them.
“Kaylee was amazing! She messaged us every day with an update and pictures of our sweet girl. We have a 7 month old Brittney named Rainy that has a lot of energy! She can be a handful, but Kaylee did an awesome job keeping up with her! Rainy had a great time wrestling and playing with Kaylee's golden retriever Sage, and snuggling with with her mini Australian Sheppard, Beau. This was our first time leaving our pup and we were gone for 8 nights. Kaylee put any fears we had to rest and we knew Rainy was in good hands and we didnt have to worry about her! We definitely reccomend Kaylee and I think Rainy would agree! We had one tired puppy when we brought her home! Kaylee was great and our Rainy girl had a blast!”
“We couldn't be more impressed with the incredible care Daniel provided for our two dogs during their stay. From the very beginning, Daniel was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. Our dogs immediately felt at ease around him — which says a lot, as one of them is usually a bit shy with new people. Throughout the entire boarding period, Daniel kept us updated with daily photos and messages, showing just how happy, active, and loved our pups were. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Daniel went above and beyond — ensuring they got plenty of playtime, maintained their feeding routine, and even picked up on their unique quirks and personalities. When we picked them up, they were relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely gifted when it comes to animals, Daniel is *the* person to call. We are beyond grateful for the phenomenal job he did and won’t hesitate to book with him again! Thank you, Daniel, for treating our dogs like family!”
About: Hi, I’m Zelina (“Zee”), and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I hold a B.S. in Animal Science, Pre-Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University and have hands-on experience in dog training, canine behavior, animal care, veterinary medicine, surgery, and orthopedics. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs in laboratory and veterinary settings, volunteered with animal rescue, and owner-trained my own service dog. I also enjoy training my own dogs, including working with Saga in conformation and scent work, and earning Trick Dog and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) titles with Ollie. My veterinary and animal science background has taught me to look at each dog as an individual, paying attention not only to their behavior and personality but also to their health, comfort, and overall well-being. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, nervous in a new environment, needs extra structure, or simply loves being spoiled, I want them to feel safe, understood, and cared for while they’re with me. As a dog sitter, I bring professional animal experience together with genuine love for dogs. I believe the best care includes plenty of attention, enrichment, patience, and the consistency that helps dogs feel comfortable away from home. My goal is for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their dog is in caring, experienced hands. Because I work from home, your pet receives care in a home environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. When I’m not working, I’m often outside working on our latest project: transforming our backyard into a pet paradise! We’re continually adding improvements and enrichment features to create a safe, fun, and comfortable space for the animals in our care. This means your pet gets to enjoy a relaxed home setting, a consistent routine, and plenty of opportunities for enrichment while they’re staying with us. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home, pets staying with me are able to enjoy a calm home environment with regular supervision and attention throughout the day. I maintain a clean, structured, and pet-friendly space and take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and comfort level before they stay with me. I believe trust is built by respecting each animal as an individual. Some pets are social and love attention, while others need more space and time to settle in. I never force interaction and instead allow pets to become comfortable at their own pace. I provide regular updates through Rover so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. For pets staying in my home, I provide dedicated spaces and supervised enrichment tailored to their needs. I’m also continually improving our backyard to create a safe and enriching “pet paradise” where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time. For in-home visits, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible and treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would expect in my own home. With my background in animal care and veterinary settings, I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while their family is away. We have a 6ft privacy fence. We require vaccinations, flea and tick preventative and up to date veterinary records. We require strict sanitation protocols and utilize labortory grade sanitizer and disinfectant to protect your pet.

96% of sitters in Randolph can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Randolph home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Randolph.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
