“Melanie has been my lifesaver these past four weeks with taking care of my Coco . I have never dropped my fur baby off with anyone and from the first day of doggy day camp, Melanie and her family have shown so much love for Coco and has put my mind at ease to focus on my training for my new job. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, caring, friendly environment for your fur baby, look no further because Melanie is the best!!!”
“Mia is awesome- such a great communicator and gives great updates throughout each stay! Weezie has so much fun at the INN (whether for boarding or daycare), and we know she will be well taken care of!”
“I am so glad I found Enzo! I am new to the area and had last minute plans pop up that my dogs couldn't accompany me to so I had to find a new Rover quickly. Enzo was extremely quick to respond and we had a meet and greet scheduled within minutes of submitting my daycare request. I am seldom apart from my dogs so I am picky about who they are left with as I want them to be comfortable in my absence. Any anxiety I had about our day apart was quickly diffused during our meet and greet. Enzo has a beautiful, clean home with a spacious yard in a safe neighborhood. His energy was great and his own dog was very calm and kind. I had absolutely no qualms about leaving my pups with them and got loads of updates throughout the day. I felt my dogs were safe and well cared for the entire time. I will definitely be reaching out to Enzo in the future!”

Mario L.
“Your pup will be in the best hands with Mario! He's incredibly kind, responsive, and is an animal-lover through and through. My dog Minnie ADORES him and his pup Snicker -- so much so that we plan pup dates to get the gals together outside of Rover services!”

“I can't say enough amazing things about Erica and how she treats my fur baby. Anyone who knows me knows that my boy is my whole world, and Erica treats him just as her own. He adores her even more than she does him, and that says a lot! There's no one I trust more or would rather take care of my baby than Erica. She's truly wonderful and I highly recommend her!!”
Cullen M.
“Cullen is my go-to sitter for my dog Coco! He’s incredibly responsible, loving, and always goes above and beyond. Coco has a great time every single visit and comes home happy and well cared for. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
Jacklyn S.
“Jackie is someone I would highly recommend to take care of your pets. Whenever I am out of town, Jackie has always been my trusted person to ask to take care of my cats while I'm gone. She made sure that everything I asked for was completed and would often send me updates to ensure my kitties were good. On top of that, she is attentive to the dynamics of the animals and makes sure that they have good interactions with one another or create adequate boundaries to ensure their safety. I've also referred her to my friends, and they have nothing but good things to say about how she takes care of animals.”

First Ward dog parents share their Rover experiences
Liliana took such great care of my 3 month old puppy Shelby! She was incredibly kind, patient, and communicative throughout the whole daycare. Even when Shelby had a few little accidents (as puppies do!), she handled everything with understanding and kept me updated with thoughtful messages as well. I could tell Shelby felt relax and cared for in her home. Thank you so much!
Marcus is an absolute gem! From the moment we booked, he was kind, communicative, and incredibly accommodating — even when our schedule changed last-minute. Our dog Ranger had the best day ever with him and came home happy, relaxed, and totally worn out in the best way. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to watch our pup while we explored the city. We can’t recommend Marcus enough — he’s a dog whisperer and a total lifesaver!
