Do not use this sitter!…read more A background... I have 2 dogs, 1 is 10 and the other 5 and they've both had great exposure to pet sitters and have always been given EXCELLENT reports. I have also been a certified & insured petsitter and was fooled by Dawn's experience. Play-by-play: I leave the dogs for a long weekend (one 7-8 am and one 8-9pm per day) and get a call at the first visit (a message), at 6:15 pm: "the dogs wont let me in, they're barking, they bent out the screen and I don't know what to do so I'm having my husband come over with tennis rackets so we can get in." This message is left while she is standing RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW (which is knee high), clearly antagonizing the dogs. I return the call within minutes and she answers while STILL STANDING right outside the window! Says, "I really feel bad for your neighbors, I'm not sure what to do but I wanted to tell you." I had told her when I met her that my lab has a big mouth so even though he's a sweetheart, he'll probably bark on every visit. She said, "it's just that I just came from a Germ Shep attack seminar so I know what he (my other dog) is capable of (all while still standing in front of the window). I tell that if she wants, she can get some food in the garage and throw it into the window and speak very nicely to the dogs and they'll calm done. She gets the food while I'm on the phone and doesn't speak to the dogs at all, throws the food in and says, "nope, that wont work, they're not interested". She then says she'll call me back. I'm in the process of cutting my dinner short and DRIVING BACK 9 hrs after I just arrived to my destination and she calls, "the dogs are fine, I just went in with a broom and yelled at them and they listened." I was as nice as I could be bc I wasn't returning for another 3 days but she assured me that the screen was fixed and all was good. Got a text on Sat, "did you forget to fill out the paperwork, or did you forget." Told her I filled it out but didn't leave it bc I forgot. Heard nothing back from her. Came back the screen VERY bent out of shape and all it took was (literally) 2 seconds for me to pop it back into place. (Yep, window was closed so it's not that they popped it out again). I am only writing this review because I was a petsitter and know how easy it is to be an excellent one. If someone is scared of barking dogs or German Shepherds, they should not take them as clients. A good petsitter should also know how to deal with people because they are who writes the check. I just moved to town so I will be researching for another sitter but she is the first one I've had that I wouldn't even consider hiring again. I do feel guilty writing this because this is someone's livelihood but I wouldn't want anyone to experience the worry I had all weekend and the dread (but willingness) to drive 9 hours away, only to possibly have to turn around 2 hrs later and do it again.

I don't even know where to begin when writing this review about my dog's savior and second mom. I…read morehave a very testy and strong English bulldog named Sebastian. Sebastian is 5 yrs old and has had aggressive tendencies since the day he turned 1. I moved to California 4 years ago and tried whatever I could to tame his "alpha" behavior but eventually it caught up to us, for Sebastian got kicked out of his first daycare for lunging at another person. I and my dog fell into a massive depression because I had nowhere to leave him so he would stay in the crate all day while I was at work. Then an angel fell into my lap named Dawn. I was told that she also specializes in handling aggressive dogs/breeds. I took Sebastian to her place 3 years ago and have never looked back. He was a very challenging dog, but Dawn handled him the way any parent would handle a misguided and uncontrolled child...with intense discipline and persistence. Because of Dawn my dog knows never to misbehave around her, and me. I've learned that misbehaved dogs are reflections of distracted, over forgiving , and especially in my case, first time unknowing owners. Now my dog doesn't move an inch without looking at me first. That is monumental. In addition to this my dog was 15 lbs over weight and would limp, which was bad especially being that he's a big English. With Dawn's country strong attentiveness he has lost all the weight and is so much stronger and doesn't limp. He is happier, infinitely loved , and in an environment that is conducive to his mental and physical longevity. Everyone in my world knows that I trust NOONE with my dog except Dawn. She is my family and the reason the most important creature in my life is healthy, alive, and has not been taken from me for "bad behavior". There are people in this world who connect with animals in a way that only the gods understand and Dawn exemplifies that notion. As for this negative reviewer ... Well whoever Tina is... She made it quite evident in her own rendition of the "story" that she is the one who needs to be trained, because it was quite evident that she has no control or "know how" over her own canines; and I would NEVER leave a pet with her ... SHE seems to be the liability. Dawn has saved my dog , and me, in ways that words can't describe . Gets me emotional . Never worry about your pet when they are with her because there isn't a single person that could do a finer job than her; especially if your dog needs a "Dawn-tervention" like mine did. I recommend her without ANY reservations as if you couldn't tell already ... :).

I do not trust Rover.com. We had an agreement for a dog sitter. He, Daniel C from Grass Valley,…read moreCA, met us and our dog two weeks prior to his service. Two days prior to our departure, Daniel cancelled. When we called him he said he sent us messages about his concerns, i.e., we were heading out of country, and he could not contact us. We never received his messages. We asked that he resend those messages which he said he would, but we never received. Rover.com does not allow me to write a review about Daniel. I feel it's important for future clients to know about Daniel's unreliability. Thus, I'm writing this in my review of the company to future clients to be aware of reviews of sudden cancellations that do not show up on the sitters's review. Rover.com offered a $50 credit. i asked them who will cover the cost of a cancelled flight, cancelled motel rooms, and cancelled guides.

Report Number 189050589…read more "I went to sign up to be a sitter on Rover.com on 8/14/2024. They charge you 49.00 for a background check. They say it takes a couple of weeks. When I contacted them, they said it fell through the cracks and they didn't do a background check. Rinse and repeat happened many times. Then October 10, 2024 I got the first email from Sterling (an alleged company that they use for background checks). Again, the cycle repeated. We had an illness in the family so after many attempts I gave up for awhile. Just recently I contacted them again to get my money back as they were clearly not doing anything in their implied contract with the 49.00 on or about June 14 2025. I could not get a live person and I got a bot on their support chat. Then om June 18th 2025, I got a notice from Sterling that they were going to do my background check. I again informed "A Place For Rover", aka Rover.com, AGAIN that I wanted my money back as they were clearly committing fraud. I have also found other people saying the same thing, so this is on a larger scale than just me."

He's very spoiled and gets separation anxiety (and me too...) so I wanted the best for him. I was considering Pets Hotel until i found out that they crate their dogs most of the day and barely play outside. Ollie doesn't like crates and loves to be around humans and other dogs. So, I did my research and came across Maisy's Mutts! We did a meet and greet 3 weeks before I had to leave for the weekend and it went great. I felt SO comfortable leaving Ollie with the family and Manni kept me updated every day with pictures which definitely helped with my separation anxiety (LOL!). Ollie loves them and he had so much fun with Maisy and their other furry friend. Manni is definitely my go-to boarding place!!!

It took me a long Time to find a Dog Boarding place I was comfortable with. I did a lot of research…read moreon all of the local options. Like many others my dog is a member of my family... One of my children... A for baby. Camp Lisa Dog Boarding came recommended by a friend. After speaking with Lisa I was impressed with not only her professionalism but The questions she had for me. This showed me that she truly cared that the dogs she took in were a right fit for her boarding facility. Upon arrival I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. It was a luxury hotel for dogs. The facility offers radiant heat flooring, beautiful large expanded dog runs that are always open for the dogs to roam yet protected from any predators, with a constant fresh air flow, relaxing music, clean water, and much more. Lisa takes the time to get to know the dogs personality in order to match them up before putting them in their own space with other dogs. This was very important for me as I did not want my dog to be without "friends". The years of experience and knowledge Lisa has I found invaluable. The passion she has for animals shows in her work and in her beautiful facility. Hands-down this is the best Dog Boarding option in the Tri-County area if not further. I could not recommend this place more. I'm fairly certain my for baby was a bit disappointed when I picked her up and she was having the time of her life during her stay and will be excited to return when I plan another trip.
