“Patrick & Karyn were amazing boarders to our mini Schnauzer. We are very happy. Our little girl enjoyed them and their dog, Levi. We received daily pictures of the many wonderful games they played, and trips that they took her on. The cuddles and love that she was given show in how relaxed she is once we got her back at home. We are very happy to have found such a wonderful home away from home for our pup. We will not hesitate to use Patrick and Karyn again in the future. They are top boarders!!”

About: My family and I believe a dog needs 100% love and attention. Your dog will be walked feed and played with for the time you choice. We will send a daily picture that candid with your dog. As a family we like to give each old a mini of 3 hours of dedicated time as side from feeding and tidying up. My day starts a 4am. When your dog wakes up I tend to feed at their normal time. I would follow your walk schedule and even continue habitual training if you are currently doing so. All areas are pet safe and closed off. I have a fenced yard. Walks are usually a minimum of 30 mins but if your puppy is very active we would walk longer as needed
“Donna was a breath of fresh air very welcoming. She took to Blue my pup instantly I appreciated the knowledge she passed on to me... Donna was accommodating at our last minute request we were pleased with knowing our pup was in good hands. We will most definitely be using her again in the near future.”
“They were wonderful, my dog really likes them. He responded right away and provided me with pics throughout the stay.”
“This was the first time I used Rover (and Melissa) The process was very easy and straight-forward. Melissa kept us informed via the Rover app- with pics and text messages every day. We felt at ease knowing my two dogs were in great hands. The most important part is my dogs came home relaxed and peaceful. In the past- when my dogs stayed at kennels, they came home unsettled. Going forward, we plan to use Melissa. I would highly recommend Melissa and Rover. I gave her a 5 star rating. Thanks!”

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs and even had three pigs when I was younger. Over the years, I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors whether that meant walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them love and attention. I now have two dogs of my own who I walk and care for every day. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family in my care. I currently work a part-time job and am home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and boarding on weekends and evenings. Your pup will get lots of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away. I have a spacious 1.05-acre yard with a secure Fido fence system, my dogs wear collars for safe outdoor time. The pool area is also fenced in with a grassy area for dogs to play. I have two very friendly pups: an 8-year-old teddy bear Yorkie and a playful 1-year-old mini Dachshund. I always ensure clean, supervised environments and can crate your dog if needed. Your fur baby will be treated like family in a safe, loving space.

Head of the Harbor dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hanke was amazing, he went above and beyond for my pup! I needed a sitter for the day of my wedding and I had not stressed a single second with Hanke. He was very flexible and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Hanke!
I highly recommend Taryn. I am a first time Rover user and I was a little nervous leaving my girls with someone other than family. Taryn and her family put me at ease and my 2 girls adjusted very quickly. Even my golden doodle who has separation anxiety was happy and comfortable. My husky loves to play outside and made a new friend Fachai who she got to run around with. Taryn sent me videos and pictures throughout their stay and they both looked like they were having a blast! We will definitely use her again in the future.
