Having peace of mind that Zoee is content and well cared for is super important to me. Debora provided excellent care, and a calm vacation spot for our little mini-yorkie while we were out of state. Highly recommend :)

Our dogs have stayed at Melanie’s three times recently. One of our dog’s is a rescue and very scared everyone. They are both very well taken care of and look comfortable at Melanie’s. We won’t send our dogs to anyone else. Thank you!

We left our pup for the very first time ever and Sam was awesome! She kept us informed with photos and updates throughout his stay! He seemed to love being there and had a blast running around with the others pups! We will for sure book with Sam again !

We are very happy with care we got for Flynn from Candace. She posted updates timely and I highly recommend her. Pictures were really lovely and funny. We never captured Flynn with smiley face.

Angela and Dan were amazing. They treated Buddy like he was their own. I know he felt so safe and loved. He was tired when he came home because he had so much fun going on walks! I loved all of the pictures they sent!

This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!

I think my Sam had a great time with Cynthia and family…and he was so lucky that Cynthia’s daughter was there with her little dog Reggie, so he had a playmate the whole time he was there (9days). Cynthia watered her plants outside and my Sam loves to be watered also. And with the very hot weather, he enjoyed it. Will be returning!

Laura provided great care for my pup for a couple of days while we were traveling--doing boring people stuff--in her area; we received a happy (and tired) pooch at the conclusion of her stay. Would definitely book again!

Kimberlee is wonderful! Our pup is a repeat customer of hers, and he didn’t even look back when we dropped him off. His tail was wagging the whole time! She sends lots of photos, and it’s clear your dog is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely be bringing our pup back!

Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

Tam and her partner were exactly who you'd want to leave your fur baby with, and in my case, totally saved the day with a last minute booking. They were friendly, extremely responsive and from the pictures, my picky chihuahua had a great time. Would def book again!

Alok did a fantastic job when watching my dog Max. He had Max for about a week and a half, during this time he kept me informed, sent pictures and was only a text away. Max was very calm and comfortable with him and his daughters when I picked him up. He will be watching Max again soon while I’m gone on a weekend trip and I look forward to another great experience.

About: I grew up with dogs and now have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. Our cats are both American Shorthair and our dog is a golden retriever! I’m currently a stay at home mom and we love watching some furry friends during our days! We can let them out multiple times, go on walks, and play. Our big fenced in backyard makes for a fun time! I have two very friendly cats who warm up quickly to other animals or hide until they feel comfortable! We also have a golden retriever who loves other animals and loves to play! I live in house with a fenced in backyard!

We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Lara and Cary were very responsive. We are so happy with how they cared for our two dogs. Based on the conversation and the pictures they sent, our pups were totally spoiled during their stay. Thanks so much for taking such great care of our fur babies!
