“Archie had a blast again at Alexis and Anthony’s house! Alexis was very responsive and sent photo updates each day. We are so grateful to have found a loving family to care for our pup when we’re out of town. Thank you again!”
“Sharon and Albert were outstanding during Gatsby's 12-day stay with them. She is super responsive, sends tons of pictures and really took the time to understand Gatsby's needs, likes and behaviors. He had an amazing time, made tons of friends and I had a super stress-free trip knowing that he was in great hands. Her home & backyard is so pup-friendly and perfect for outdoor playtime - Gatsby had an amazing time, came home tired and happy. I will definitely be taking him to Sharon the next time I need to leave him when I'm away.”
“Lacey was absolutely amazing with my pup! I have an older pup who has accumulated his own quirks and preferences over the years and this was our first time leaving him in the care of someone other than family, so we were quite worried. However, Lacey cared for him as if he was her own pup, even hand-fed him when he wasn't eating. She frequently sent updates and sweet pictures of my pup, which we really appreciated! It definitely put our hearts at ease knowing he was being cared for so well.”
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
“Siyao took great care of my dog. She sent me update pictures and videos and Meera seemed to be having a really great time! Siyao genuinely seems like a true dog lover and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. My dog came home tired and happy which is perfect.”
“Matt was able to watch my mini Aussie Holly last minute on the day of. He took her on a walk, sent pictures of her during her stay, and was quick to respond to any text messages. Holly was in great spirits the next day when I went to pick her up. Overall good experience, would recommend, and would use again in the future. Thanks Matt!”
“Patti took excellent care of our Maggie. Patti was willing to take on a four month old puppy and the visit was very successful. Patti was patient and very kind with Maggie. She of course made sure that Maggie had plenty to eat and lots of healthy treats. Patti and Joe opened their house to make Maggie feel at home.”
“Michelle is amazing! She sent me photos and updates of Chloe’s stay. Michelle is so positive, caring, and accommodating. I look forward to Chloe’s next stay with them.”
“Alexa bonded instantly with our pup and was committed to providing him with the best home away from home possible! She sent loads of pictures and checked in regularly, and it was clear from the photos that he could not have been happier! Thankful to have found such a happy place for Brady to land - he is looking forward to future stays with Alexa!”
“Irina was absolutely amazing with Buddy. It was our first time leaving him with anyone and he did great. He was happy and well cared for. Irina sent updates and pictures and really put our mind at ease. We are so happy and I know Buddy will look forward to his next visit.”
“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!”
“Could not be happier with Robert (Blair) as our dog sitter for Tanner (our chocolate lab)! You can genuinely feel the love that Blair has for pets. He treats our Tanner so well that we can honestly go on vacation knowing that he is in great hands, and will be cared for every minute of the time. We even receive text updates with pictures showing the fun time being had while we are away! What more could you ask for in a dog sitter? Perfect match ♥️??”
“Shelly and her family took great care of my big, rambunctious, teenage Doberman mix. He is good natured but can high energy and pushy - Shelly was totally unfazed and confident with him which made me feel at ease with leaving him with her. I picked up a happy, tired, and well-mannered boy - seems that Shelly’s older dogs were great playmates and role models for him, which was a great added bonus. I’ll definitely be bringing him back when I have to travel in the future!”
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.
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Sara and her husband were awesome, they took care of my 2 husky’s. They came home very happy, thank you it made my trip easier to know my dogs were happy. I didn’t think I needed updates but they sent me updates and it made all the difference. Linda”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Molly was right at home with Nick, Diane, Kitty-Cat and Olive for the better part of 3 weeks. The large yard gave the dogs plenty of room to exercise.”
