“I've never left my dog with any one I didn't know before, especially since she gets anxious sometimes around new dogs. But after meeting Melissa leaving my dog was like leaving her with a trusted family member or a close friend. She loved her and the whole family and got along great with the other dogs too. Melissa was in constant communication and was sending tons of pics and videos the whole time which made us laugh and put us at ease that she was doing just fine. My Lily Bear came home tired from playing but also relaxed and not anxious at all. I will definitely be using her again in the future when needed. Thank you Melissa for caring for Lily and putting up with my obsessive, over protective dog parenting concerns lol! You are the Best! :-)”
“Kayla did a great job of taking care of my dog Baxter! We were gone for just over a week on vacation out of the country. She sent pictures every day and he looked so happy! There was a minor hiccup in the beginning with my dog being territorial but she handled it so well! I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Super nice/living family. After initially meeting them, I was very comfortable leaving my Murphy with them. They have two lovely Beagles and children who obviously love the dogs as well & a perfect indoor & outdoor setting for playing and roaming. They sent me photos and a video which made my day. Nathan even slept downstairs on the couch when my pup seemed worried without having anyone around as it was his first night away from home in several months since a horrific extended stay experience with a facility. I will definitely use them again whenever I need to be away from home!”
“Kosar had another wonderful stay with Janine and is certainly making himself at home there! We can't wait for his next visit with Janine and Chevy!! Thanks again- Danielle & Jimmy”
“Gail did a great job for us while we were over seas. The girls had lots of attention and play time. Most important was that our one dog received all of her medicine daily. We worry about them getting everything they need. We will definitely use Gail again.”
“I cannot recommend Aricka enough! She took such great care of my animals. She had amazing communication sending pics and updates. When we came to pick them up my pup didn’t want to leave. She’s the best rover and the reason I want to keep using rover! I’m so grateful for her taking such great care of them in such short notice.”
“For us to get to know Norma, I booked a meet and greet plus 2 doggie day cares leading up to our 10-day Mexico vacation. Everything worked out beautifully, so that by the time we actually left, Juliet was quite comfortable and friendly with both Norma and her Boston Terrier, Lily. Norma spent extra time and patience with Juliet (with feeding) to help ease her anxiety with being left overnight... and so with Norma's nurturing demeanor, Juliet adapted easily into their family and routine, and even made a great new doggie friend! We got a happy healthy dog back after our vacation, and we were very much at ease with Norma's communication with us throughout. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Having been my first using this system, Tiffany was very assuring. She responded quickly, walked me through the process and communicated with me through the stay giving me piece of mind. Benson and I say thanks!”
About: I have always loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up we had two Labradors and when I moved away after college, I rescued a German Shorthair Pointer mix named Miles. It was my first experience raising a dog from a puppy by myself and I loved it! Miles loved to hike and was obsessed with tennis balls! The past 20 years, I've had a Doberman who was a retired seeing eye dog, a Shepherd mix, and my current pup Rosie is a Labrador Retriever. In March, I adopted Teddy, a Black Labrador Retriever. Both of my dogs are laid back and good with other dogs. Over the years I have learned to take care of dogs from puppy stage, adulthood, and into their senior years. I currently work as a teacher, so during the summer and weekends I will be home all day with your dog. During the school year, I can take care of dogs who are used to being at home for the day. My schedule allows me to be back home in the late afternoon to walk, play with and care for your dog. I also have a large fenced in backyard to play fetch and where your dog Rosie and Teddy can run. I have a large, shady fenced in backyard for your dog and my friendly Labradors to play and run. Your dog can nap where they feel comfortable on a dog bed or couch. I also have an extra dog crate to create a safe and den-like environment for your pup.
