“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”




2. Joseph S.
“Joseph was wonderful! Lenny, who is usually a little shy, warmed up to him right away. Joseph was in frequent contact with me, sending me updates and photos, and Lenny got lots of walks in with Joseph and his dog Luffy. Joseph was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up timing. I will definitely be using him again!”


3. Kate B.

“Great family. We are so glad that we found Kate. Our Monet hound dog was treated well with love for the whole week while we were out of town. Kate communicated well with details on how good things were going and photos too. Monet definitely settled in well with Kate and her family. We highly recommend looking into Kate watching your pet.”

“Amber has been a godsend! She understands the needs of our complicated elder-dogs, and they love her! She is respectful of our wishes, and always leaves our home cleaner than we left it. Amber is personable, with a great sense of humor; a plus in my book. She also took care of our chickens, rabbit and tortoise with great ease!”


7. Elizabeth D.


“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Biscuit. He was feeling under the weather and she was great with his medicine and keeping us updated on his symptoms while we were away. She was very communicative and professional in her interactions and sent us frequent pictures during his stay with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”

11. William W.
About: I’ve been raising and training dogs for the past 10 years and lived with dogs my entire life. My dog knows sit stay, Paul rollover heel. Actually, I’m very proud of my heel teaching method if you want me to teach your dog. Also dogs since my calm, and I treat them with respect. I currently work as a B&B host in the summers, leaving my winters, fully open schedule wise. Hosting for over four years so I know how to make sure you get a five star experience. We have a fenced yard hard floors, dog kennels, and everything a dog would need. I have a golden retriever named Sadie, who is very sociable goes to the dog park super friendly. I work for myself managing properties and are able to bring any pets with me to job sites if needed.


12. Bailey C.

“Bailey took excellent care of our beagle Sam! He had a great time playing with the other dogs and exploring their big yard and farm fields. Bailey sent regular updates and photos so we knew Sam was happy and not missing us too much. We are so grateful to have such a great place to leave him when we travel!”


13. Shmerl B.

“Such a wonderful experience! The hosts are true dog lovers and made Lottie feel extremely welcome. This is a warm and loving home away from home! Excellent communication and I appreciated the photos!”


14. Jessica R.

“I can't say enough good things about Jess! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time, but she made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She treated my dog like her own, giving him plenty of attention and love. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really made me happy to see him throughout his stay. He seemed so happy and content when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


15. Olivia K.
“Olivia has done pet sitting for me many times over the past few years. She did a wonderful job with my poultry flock, even being able to deal with my cantankerous guard rooster. More recently she was my first pick when I needed to leave my young dog for a weekend away. Ellie was able to stay at Olivia's home with her two dogs, and she seemed happy to have canine companions for her time away. She is a velcro baby and stays with me wherever I go, but didn't mind when I left her to play with the big dogs. Olivia took care of some ducklings for me as well during that trip, and everyone was healthy and hearty when I returned. Olivia has lots of experience with a variety of animals, including the typical cats and dogs. If you have something a bit more exotic like a rat or avian, she would be excellent with them too. I don't hesitate to trust my animals to her care and I know they will be lovingly tended while I'm not able to do the job. I highly recommend Olivia for pet sitting or dog walking - your animals will love her.”


16. Jaclyn N.


“Jaclyn was absolutely amazing, the best Rover experience we’ve ever had! Not only was she able to accommodate our last minute request, but she truly went above and beyond. We were sent amazing holiday photos with our dog Wrigley and she even made an ornament with his paw print. Couldn’t recommend more and we are so fortunate to have had our dog stay with Jaclyn!”


17. Karen S.

“Karen was wonderful! She took great care of Luna. Luna was happy and relaxed when I came to pick her up. Karen kept me updated on all of Luna’s adventures. I will definitely book Karen again!”


18. Ana L.

“Ana was great! She provided daily updates and lots of pictures! My Bentley has a great time playing with her two boys Jack and Bailey. I will definitely rebook with her again in the future!”


19. Anna B.

“Anna was great! She took care both of my dogs really well and even went above and beyond to bath one of them when she rolled over dog’s ?! My dogs were very happy and would definitely choose Anna again :)”
