We left our puppy with Maya for almost a week and it went amazing. We were nervous to leave him but she gave us daily updates and photos to keep our minds at ease, it was wonderful. Everything seemed to go great, she was very responsive and our puppy had a great time!

Andria took amazing care of our two dogs for a 9 day stay. I felt like they were really just part of her family for the week. We got updates and some cute photos too. I would not hesitate to book with her again!

Our dog Sue is 12 1/2 years old. She is a senior rescue and goes everywhere with us. But while I but I was having surgery at Mayo Clinic, we needed to find someplace for her. jennifer and Scott’s beautiful home with a fenced yard was a home away from home. Sue was allowed free roam and not required to be in a kennel or crate. She was not left on her own. They do doggie daycare and Sue loved having the other dogs around during the day and then her own space at night. They updated us with photos. It was as good as it gets and I was grateful knowing she was n a good place where she was safe and part of the family.

About: I've taken care of and owned many types of animals in my life including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, Mini horse, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, ferrets, birds, and rabbits. I love all animals and nature! I currently work a part time job and want to see where rover takes me. I'm available most days of the week any time of day mostly. However there may be a few days I'm only available for part of the day. I have 2 dogs one is 14lb and the other 22lbs. They are spoiled and love to play and will keep your pup company. I own 2 crates if needed. My dogs usually have 24/7 access to their food. However if needed during a stay if feedings are scheduled for a specific time this can be worked with as well.

Stacy was wonderful! I recently moved to MN and had a family event in Texas I needed to go to. It was the first time I would be leaving my dog with someone who wasn’t immediate family and I was very nervous. Stacy was so kind and patient with my dog and sent pictures and updates everyday! They really helped my anxiety. I will def check with Stacy the next time I need to go out of town. Luna had a great time and was calm and tired when I got her home. She also got along well and played with Stacy’s dog Gus and Luna usually just ignores other dogs. Thank you so much Stacy! You rock!

I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and my love and respect for them is endless. Caring for pets is not just a responsibility for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love going for walks, playing, giving affection, and making sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve… and a little extra. Whether it’s keeping them active, comfortable, or simply happy, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a medical doctor currently studying from my apartment in downtown to validate my degree in the U.S., so I spend most of my day at home. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I love walking, taking dogs out for fresh air, and staying active—I exercise for about an hour each day and enjoy including furry friends in my routine. My own pets are in Colombia, and I miss them dearly, so all the love and care I have is ready to be shared with animals who need it. Your pet will receive my full attention, affection, and care. I live in a safe downtown apartment, enjoy taking regular walks, and will make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved as if they were my own. I can also follow any special care instructions to ensure their comfort and well being. ✨ If the owners are okay with it, I love giving the pets I take care of a little gift my homemade chicken feet gummies 🐾. They’re super simple, made only with chicken and water, healthy, and full of protein and collagen that can help their joints and skin. I will offer 10 gummies as a special gift 💝

This was our first time boarding our dogs and we could not be more pleased with how it went, thanks to Dondee! Although it was only a night, we were able to have peace of mind that they were being well loved and taken care of. We got lots of updates and pictures and are very happy we chose Dondee to watch our girls.

Matt and Angela made my small nervous dogs feel so welcome, much better than the boarding experience last time I left home. Matt let them roam just like at home, cleaned up a puppy mess, and gave me awesome updates! I was also new to the Rover process and thought I had booked him last month but hadn’t, and he was flexible and understanding.

Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.

The first overnight with this host family was a success; our two dogs were happy and comfortable in their surroundings, as evidenced by the frequent photos depicting walks and other activities, as well as their behavior when we arrived to pick them up. It’s such a a relief being able to schedule occasional time away and knowing our pups will be well cared for. Again, thank you very much!
