Dog Boarding Melancthon

“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”

“Anne and Andrew are always so great with Luna. She loves them and is so comfortable in their care. We were away for a good amount of time and Luna was welcomed into their home like family, as she always is. She's always a little sad when it's time to come home. 😅”

“Heather is kind and super knowledgeable about animals. She was very accommodating with my drop off and pick up times (I had to change my pick up time last minute). You can tell she loves animals and cares for them like her own.”

“Wooftastic!! As a first time boarder with my pal, Oscar, I was a nervous mom! Would he be ok? Would he be well taken care of? How would it go around other dogs? I could not be more happy and grateful for Allison and Scott! He did so well and they truly care about the dogs in their care. They were so understanding and did some extra touches that meant so much! Like, texting to check in and confirm all was well, the BEST photos with captions 😊 via a shared album, and oodles of walks and play times! Oscar was very happy and had an amazing time and gained some great experience around other lovely dogs! We will definitely book again and likely bring Oscar for monthly day boarding to keep up his socialization! So fortunate to have hit the Rover jackpot on my first go!! Thank you so much, Allison and Scott!”

“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”

“Thank you Cindy for taking care of Zoe from 27Mar- 02 Apr,Zoe received the same love, care, walks & cuddles like home from Cindy,I deeply appreciate your efforts and support with regular photos and updates. Zoe returned home way more calmer and quieter pup and she got to play and spent time with other 3 guest small dogs and 2 inhouse furry friends.Cindy is so clear, transparent in her communication, made our travel easy and stress-free. Zoe is an anxious kid anyways, so she was missing us and her home in that way she lost quiet a weight in her worry. Thank you Cindy, this experiment was indeed successful, loved Josie and Jack too, true friends of Zoe in making her a better version of herself. See you soon. ❤️🙏”

“First time leaving Dexter overnight, let alone for a week. He could not have been better cared for, I am so appreciative. Jillian treated him like her own, I was a little worried he might not want to come home :). Will definitely use Jillian again if the need arises.”

“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”

“Delores was very welcoming and accommodating to my dog. It was a great experience and nice to have her so close to home. We will bring out pet there again!”

“Rieko was perfect for our dog. Our old cocker spaniel still loves to play and loves attention. Rieko gave our dog a variety of activities and lots of cuddles. Many pictures were sent to us. It gave us a sense of relief and confidence that our dog was at the best place away from us.”

“Sarah took fantastic care of my elderly cat. We had a car accident while we were away and had to extend my cat's stay. Sarah was so kind and was happy to keep him another night! I really felt my fur baby was in great hands. Thank you Sarah🩷”

“Catherine and her husband took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, during his overnight stay! He had a great time, and I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Warren and Angelika took great care of our Clyde. His meds were all given, he enjoyed a walk and all the love and attention they gave him. Clyde enjoyed his stay and all the snuggles.”

About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!

“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”

“Kristen and Jeffrey are wonderful pet sitter, they took excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when I first met them I got an excellent first impression. They were very warm and friendly and were great with my pet! When I came home after after being away my pet was very relaxed and happy. During my time away Kristen and Jeffrey sent me photos of my pet having fun which was really nice ? I look forward to booking Kristen and Jeffrey again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤”

“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”

“Winnie was very happy when I collected her, very pleased with. Idols care. She made me laugh when she said Winnie jumped on the bed and jumped up on top of the cat!!Will certainly take Winnie to her again, thank you”

“Angi is such a wonderful attention to our family! She was attentive to our senior girls needs and they settled in so nicely. Angi sent us a picture overnight as well. Highly recommend Angi.”

“Natasha & Sandro’s experience with rescue dogs gave me the peace of mind I was looking for, they understand Rocky’s needs and made him feel at home with their dogs. The updates and photos were great for me to see Rocky having a good time with his new friends. I am happy to not have to hunt for a sitter anymore as both myself and Rocky had a very positive experience with our vacations.”
