“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“Our first time leaving our pup for more than a weekend and Lorraine was incredible as always. We left our dog for over two weeks for our wedding/honeymoon. She kept us updated with photos and messages every day which helped us feel more relaxed and able to better enjoy our vacation. We love Lorraine!”
“Skipper had the best time with Katherine, Cory and the fam! She enjoyed playing with their dogs Brownie and Mocha so much she didn’t even want to come home after her stay! I received so many cute updates and pics and felt very calm knowing my baby was in great hands!”
“Outstanding experience. Shirley was very thorough with communication, made things easy for us and our dog had a great time with her. I don’t think he wanted to come home. Definitely recommend.”
“They were really great with my two boys and they came back home smelling soo good and looking soo happy I will definitely be using you guys again great service 🤩”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Malchom and his family were so good with our dogs! They get tons of play time and walks and were so tired when they got home. We will definitely book with them again.”

Wiggles had such a good time playing with her friends, we were worried she was disappointed to come home! Thank you Tamara, Maggie, and Paulie!”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for my puppy, Mabel. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated and sent the cutest photos throughout Mabel's stay. As anyone with a puppy knows, they can be full of energy and a little chaotic at times, but Michelle handled Mabel's craziness with patience and confidence.”
“Amazing! Highly recommend Connie. She sent me pictures of Bruno and also has a amazing fenced backyard. Her dog was also adorable and got along with Bruno really well.”
“A sincere thank you to Angelica for looking after my puppy for several days, even a day longer than I had anticipated due to serious travel issues from Boston. I cannot thank Angelica enough. If she permits, I will be looking to book Angelica's services routinely in the future. Thank you sincerely Angelica. Patricio,”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.
“Edgar was easy to work with and very attentive to my cat. My cat is a senior and I mix meds into her breakfast plate. He was able to accommodate her schedule. I would not hesitate to have him take care of her the next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Grace is a great sitter, dependable, reliable and available. She followed all instructions to the letter. Our kitties were happy and in great shape when we returned. Thanks Grace!!!”
“Sofia did an incredible job checking in on our sassy lil cat Suki for our first long vacation away from her! ❤️ Lots of picture updates and descriptions, and Suki enjoyed her daily visits. She was super flexible, to the point of moving my dates a whole week sooner than was originally booked - with only a day's notice!”
“Jessica is SO GOOD with our kitty! Coraline is a lover and tends to get separation anxiety when we’re gone for an extended period of time. We feel much better knowing Jessica is checking in, taking care of, and playing playing with her. And Jessica always sends fantastic photos!”
“Isabella was wonderful with my dog while I was gone for the weekend! He's older and picky and needs a little extra care...she was great with drop in visits, giving him extra attention, and making sure he got enough exercise while I was away. Very kind and reliable, will definitely book with Isabella again!”
“Kimberly did a fantastic job medicating and pampering our formerly feral cat. We enjoyed her daily updates and photos, and were reassured that our old guy had a trusted person keeping an eye on him.”
“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”
“Natalia was very responsive and nice to work with! She was so caring with our kitties and spent extra time with them by playing and giving pets. She followed directions and asked questions if she had them. She provided photos and videos. Would definitely hire Natalia again!”
“Zulema has walked out dogs in the past and taken care of our kitties while we were out of town and is always so incredibly helpful and kind. She goes the extra mile every single time, and the pups and kitties respond very well to her! I couldn’t recommend her enough <3”

About: I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and ages, several with serious medical needs. As a child, my family bred and raised Irish Setters and kept any pup that was not 100% healthy for adoption. Therefore I have experience with all aspects of pet care and I have raised my kids to do the same. We are Tara (49yr), Jaden (15yr) and Alia (12yr) and have been dog sitting for friends and family for years and really enjoy hosting pups to play with and pamper on the weekends since unfortunately we are not home enough during the week to provide adequate care and attention to a full time pup. Our three kitties are very accustomed to dogs but we have plenty of room to separate them if they overstimulate your doggy. Our three level home, plus large back yard, will give your pup plenty of room to play inside and out! We typically run and play in the backyard during potty breaks and go out for several walks a day. The yard is only 90% fenced so I have several 50ft leashes around the yard to provide the illusion of freedom while maintaining safety. If your pup is high energy, they can also play with the neighbor’s dogs or we can take a trip to the dog park so they can socialize and run with other pups. I assure you they will get lots of cuddles and attention and I will send photos and vids of your pup to you throughout their stay! I am available for boarding in my home on the weekends, beginning Friday evening through Monday morning. I can also board at your home from Saturday morning through Sunday evening. I will treat your pet like a member of the family! If they get muddy in the backyard I have no problem giving them a bath and brushing them. They are welcome on the furniture and will not be left alone while they are in my care.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
About: We are the proud owners of an adorable dog (Ace) and are adept with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Everyone in the house (Micah and I) work from home full-time, so the dogs will never be left alone. Ace is always great host and will have a lot of fun with his new furry friend 😊 Ace (a miniature poodle / Bishon mix) can mingle with any visitors but can be separated upon request. Please bring dog beds and food. We can’t wait to host your little friend! We work from home full time and plenty the time to dedicate to watching and playing with the pups! Morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, whatever the dogs needs are will be met. Fenced in backyard and large park across the street for long walks. Perfect environment for your dogs staycation! As a proud dog owner ourselves, the pups are never far from our minds and will get plenty of attention…maybe too much lol
“Karen was wonderful. Her house is so clean and beautiful, and the yard is secure and well maintained. She was very kind and cared for my pup like a pro! I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent throughout the day. Absolutely recommend Karen!”
“Emily was a great sitter. She was super easy to work with. She had a great backyard setup. Our pup, Bandit, loves water and Emily had a doggy pool all set up for him. Would book with Emily again.”
“Lorraine is wonderful! So kind and loving to Aspen. Communication is excellent and she is very dependable. Aspen feels very comfortable at her home. Thank you Lorraine, I appreciate you!!”
“Mary was communicative, convenient and put my mind at ease as we were in the city for the weekend and our hotel couldn’t accommodate for a late check out to house our pup, Teddy. 🤍 Our niece had a soccer game at Seat Geek stadium in 90 degree October weather and Mary solved our quandary and was as warm and inviting as the unseasonable weather. Highly recommend!”
“Dayana was a great dogsitter to our puppy Honey. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Honey having fun and being taken on walks, and she was very nice and communicative. I will definitely be reaching back out for more dog sitting with Dayana!”
“Samuel was excellent with my girls. He kept me updated with their activities. He sent me many pictures and my girls were having a great time. I will be using Samuel more often. Thank you, Samuel.”
“Marissa was great! We feel very lucky to have found her to hang out with our two dogs for the day. Her house was perfectly well suited to host our dogs and it seems they had a good day :)”
About: I used to volunteer in the kennels at West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove. I have fostered over 80 dogs and puppies from area rescues including Peace for Pits, Chicagoland Bully Breed, Forget Me Not Rescue and Magnificent Mutts.

Thank you for understanding. **PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO SAFETY AND INSURANCE LIABILITY, I CAN NO LONGER ALLOW CLIENTS IN MY HOME** If meet & greets are required, they will be done outside in my backyard or at local park. I am willing to come by your home in advance to introduce myself and meet your dog(s) prior to boarding. Thank you for understanding. I am a disabled / former police officer. Since I am disabled, I work from home part time (self employed / entrepreneur). I am home a majority of the time with my 2 adult dogs. If I needed to be gone for a long amount of time, my fiancé is home for potty breaks and meal breaks. Daily walks given. If it’s for in home boarding, I have a ring doorbell and Ring cameras. My dogs aren’t allowed outside alone for extended periods of time. Trust and safety is my concern. I have prior law enforcement experience as well.
“Yuetong was very sweet and gentle with my super anxious pup! It seems he easily warmed up to her and her pups. He came come a very happy dog! She sent lots of photo updates which I very much appreciated. Will definitely be booking in the future.”
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”
“My dogs had a wonderful time. They took my girls for a walk and entertained them. The entire family is so friendly and my girls really liked them. I will definitely use Malchom again.”

I was impressed how much knowledge she demonstrated and shared about puppy behavior, my dog’s breed characteristics and nutrition, I feel confident leaving my puppet with Kayla will help her socialization tremendously!”
“Christine was our life saver when we visited Chicago. It was a last minute booking and she accommodated us quickly. She loved our fur baby! Our Rollo had a blast with her and her beautiful cats ♥️ Thank you, Christine! We appreciate your love and care for fur babies.”
“Amie and her family were great! They were able to accommodate our last-minute request, which was so awesome, and we realize it wasn't a given. They were warm and inviting. Satchel clearly felt comfortable right away as he tried to get into their home. Their dog was super sweet and ADORABLE and got along well with our dog. We got cute photos throughout the day with updates. Satchel was pooped when we picked him up and looked like a happy dog. Oh, and their kiddo was super sweet and asked for Satchel to come back. That was super special!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. I’ve had many dogs over the years and all were loved, cared for, and given a life they deserve. I’m currently working part time and have hybrid classes. So, I have time to meet the needs of families and their fur babies. I am available to drop in the day, or spend nights to make sure your animals are cared for. I make sure they have clean water and food when needed. I let them out to run around and take pets on walks. I brush animals to make their coats soft, and offer baths.
“James is very punctual , flexible , and patient. Went on a great walk with our pup .Great first experience with him, our pup raiden seemed happy when we returned!”

“Tamara is amazing. Our dog Luna loves her walks with her. We know she is in good hands. I would recommend Tamara to anyone that has a dog and wants to know your baby is taking care of.”
About: Experienced, Thoughtful Care for Dogs of All Sizes With 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and two lovable and furry 85 pound dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable with all from active large breed to gentle senior companions. I’ve also spent years caring for small dogs (including pups around 10 pounds), so I’m used to adjusting walks, playtime, and care to fit each dog’s size, personality, and pace. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re the adventurous “let’s walk forever” type, the neighborhood squirrel patrol officer, or the happy couch companion who prefers a slower stroll and extra belly rubs. I take pet care seriously and prioritize routine, safety, and consistency. I always double check collars and harnesses before walks, follow feeding schedules carefully, and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure in their environment. My goal is to keep your dog’s day feeling as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide photo and message updates during walks or visits so you know your dog is happy and well cared for. Services I Offer • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight pet sitting • Feeding and medication administration if needed • Playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection I treat every dog I care for as if they were part of my own family. Trust is incredibly important when it comes to your pets, and I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog to make sure it’s the right fit. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I currently care for two large dogs of my own, so regular walks, feeding schedules, and outdoor time are built into my day. Because of that, adding walks or visits for other dogs fits seamlessly into my schedule. As a student, my schedule varies slightly week to week, but it also provides flexibility that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on what works best for each dog’s routine. I’m very intentional about planning my day so that pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care. I understand how important routine and reliability are for both dogs and their owners, so I always make sure feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions are followed closely. My goal is to provide dependable care that keeps your dog comfortable and happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Dogs tend to feel most relaxed in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their normal schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level whether they prefer an active walk, playtime, or a slower pace with plenty of affection. I always make sure fresh water is available, feeding instructions are followed carefully, and collars or harnesses are secure before walks. I also understand how important trust is when someone is entering your home to care for your pet. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners know their dog is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have had pets from dogs, cats, fish, birds, and small rodents and loved them all. I am open minded about other caged animals besides dogs but would prefer no cats as my husky dog has a high prey drive. I am a big animal lover and would love to provide a loving temporary home for your pets. I am a stay at home mom who is available for all day care. I already take care of my own pets and it fits perfectly into my life. I have a fenced yard and a husky dog who will make great company. I am also willing to travel to your home if it makes you feel more comfortable.
“Jessica does a great job Cosmo! You can really tell that she’s and animal lover and cares for our pup the way she would her own. She also takes amazing pictures of him during daily walks. It’s great to get such good pictures of him during the day when we’re away from him!”
“Angelina is fantastic with Griffey! She is super communicative, punctual, and makes me feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Love the updates and photos too; it’s clear she really cares. Highly recommend!!”
About: I am a human nurse and have a dog with hemiplegia, so I am well-versed in bladder expression and monitoring for injury. Having 3 special needs pets, means I know how to administer oral medication, eyedrops, injections, and topicals I am not an early riser so if you have a late night out, midnight is not a problem! My availability varies upon my work schedule. I will follow the instructions the pawrents have left.

About: My name is Kimberly and I'm an empathetic animal lover who enjoys a weekend of hanging out with animals more than humans. I grew up with a house full of pets (cats, dogs, ferrets, birds) and have over 11 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter for all kinds of critters and pets. I know how much you'll be missing your pet as they are your family, so I love to provide photos with anecdotes of our day. You'll never doubt how much love they'll be getting when they're in my hands. I have experience with large and small breeds, as well pets who need extra love and care. My gentle nature makes me perfect for anxious pets and my extreme attention to detail makes you feel confident that they are getting the best, most loving care. My 18 year old Toy Fox Terrier, is my world, so I understand how important it is to find the right sitter. My dog is a senior dog with social needs, so I have plenty of experience accommodating to your pets' needs. My quiet nature and patience is quickly detected by all furbabies. What's the best way your pet will feel comforted when you're gone - I'll go ahead and do just that! Your pet will be pampered! I work freelance, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can work around your schedule and needs to make sure your pet is getting the best care possible. At your home, you can rest assured that every instruction will followed closely and perfectly. I also have extreme respect for being inside others homes. I grew up helping my mom cleaning houses, and it's been ingrained in me to always respect the home and space you are in. I always provide a peace of mind with any pet parent gone, either leaving town for a few days or just a visit for one afternoon. Your pets will be treated with the best care, and I understand that everyone has their own unique way of caring for their pet. I want to respect your wishes and make your furbaby happy 😊
About: I have over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and patience, I’ve done it all—walking, feeding, administering medication, and even calming anxious animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets because I treat them like family. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available 7 days a week whenever needed for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I love spending my free time with animals and can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I’m attentive to individual routines and can crate or separate pets as needed. Whether in your home or mine, I follow all care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye, and give plenty of love and reassurance.
About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.
“Alex does great with our 5 month old puppy that already weighs 100 pounds, it helps so much he adds training tips to their walk as I am disabled and need pup to always stay in heal on my left. Alex does a great job teaching him on the walks!”
About: I love dogs. I regularly foster dogs from the humane society and I have experience taking care of old and sick dogs as well as puppies. I live in Hawaii 9 months of the year, so I am not always on Rover, but I do keep my calendar updated and love to watch dogs while I'm here and my boyfriend is working full time I always wake up early to feed my dogs, I am not working full time, and I love to play and interact with dogs all day, and also to take them on walks. Some days that's my only exercise honestly! Lol We love to go on walks. My neighborhood is great for dog walking. My home is very dog friendly with lots of different sleeping possibilities for pets. I have separate areas for feeding dogs so no one is competing for food.

“Our first time leaving our pup for more than a weekend and Lorraine was incredible as always. We left our dog for over two weeks for our wedding/honeymoon.

They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“Jenny took extremely good care of Harlem and she provided so many updates and photos. Harlem was sad to leave her at the end of his stay! Will definitely book with Jenny again.”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Bianca absolutely loves Dayana and I do too! She keeps me informed through the night and she’s always available to watch her! She has other pups there which Bianca thrives on! She has dog toys and a fenced yard! She is very accommodating and understanding of Bianca’s food schedule! She even will give her filtered water, talk about spoiled! 🤣 book with her, you won’t be disappointed and bright will your fur baby! My mind is always at ease when she’s under her care <3”
“Angel was absolutely amazing with Zeus, from taking him running with his rollerblades to buying a pool, i couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. i always get anxious to leave him especially for so many days but Angel’s daily updates, pics and videos really helped to make us both feel at ease. 10/10 would book again”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
“Kae is amazing ! She has extensive knowledge of caring for multiple breeds of dogs. She did well caring for my Pitbull; he enjoyed her spacious back yard. She also sent me a bunch of cute pictures of him enjoying his stay. Will rebook in the future”
“Robert did great! Even though Logan was there for a shorter stay, I got plenty of pics and Logan looked happy/comfortable in all of them! I picked him up this morning and he's exhausted so I'm sure he had a good time”
“Carmen is an amazing sitter, highly recommend! She watches our pup for 5 days and sent regular updates and photos while we were away. Carmen even offered to drop our dog off at the end of the stay since it was along their usual route. 5 stars, definitely recommend!”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
