Has anyone ever used the Rover.com app to find a pet sitter/boarder for your dog?

Yes, I have used it for 2 different sitters. First sitter was great and used her for a few years till she recently adopted a greyhound who gets anxious around other non-greyhound dogs so she stopped boarding dogs. We just went on vacation and Willow stayed with new sitter for first time and everything went fine.

When you find someone you think will work, you arrange a meet and greet prior to final booking of the stay so you (and more importantly your dog) can meet the sitter and any pets they may have beforehand.

Good experiences for me.

Thank you. This is good to hear. We messaged one of the highest rated sitters who live close earlier today and have not heard back yet. Did you message a few of them before settling on the one you eventually chose?

One of my friends is a pet sitter/boarder for rover though (also a PJ fan but don't think they're on the board).

Is he by any chance located out near Lansdale area?

Wrigley is our ‘heart’ dog.  There is no other like him to us and he is such a huge part of our family.  When he passes that will be it for pet ownership for us unfortunately.  So we hope he has a long life as far as Danes go and we get to enjoy many adventures traveling the west!

why will it be “it for pet ownership”?

We will not be able to deal with his loss very well.  He has been a one of a kind for us and no other pet has been like him.  I can not describe it any better I guess.  Just that we agreed we would perhaps watch people’s pets while gone but adding one to the family would be too hard for us.  I wish I could describe the emotions we feel for him.  The other night I hurt my foot and he put his paw on my leg, licked my face 50 times, then went and got Jan.  He is so human I can not describe.  I know I sound weird and people will say he is just a dog but he is..... In don’t know how to describe it.  He has been like this since we took him home.....like it was always meant to be.  He never whined in his crate, potty trained in a week and a half which sure made life easier. Always has been a pleaser and social with a huge heart.

We had Gracie, who got me thru cancer and then died of her own cancers at 5.5 years. she was awesome (altho we called her devil dog for her first 2 years). that said, we now have these two and love them to death. note Winnie in the doorway.
