“Wendy was great with Kyra. She answered all my questions, and kept me inform during the whole stay sending me pictures and videos. I really recommend her!”
2. Michelle B.
“Michelle is awesome! I was so hesitant to let a strange watch after my fur baby but she is great! She kept me updated along with send pictures of his adventures during his stay! Definitely recommend Michelle to care for your precious fur baby! ☺️”
3. Vickie H.
“It’s very clear Vickie knows what she is doing, understands dogs and how they interact. Nüvi is a senior dog and Vickie made me completely comfortable that she understood the needs and personality of an older pup. She had no issues giving him his daily meds he actually ATE while he was there! He hit it right off with Vickie’s dog, Shelby, and photos of Nuvi snoozing made it clear that he was absolutely comfortable there. I’ll definitely be using Vickie again and I highly recommend her!”
4. Nancy G.
“Nancy was great!! She took great care of Nanook. He even slept with her in her bed. I can see why she has such great reviews. We will definitely use her again.”
5. Denise B.
“This was Ghillie’s second extended overnight visit with Denise and I was so pleased! Lots of good pictures and videos. Denise had other dogs staying too which o like because it gives Ghillie some social time. All very nice dogs. I highly recommend Denise and in fact Ghillie is going back there at the end of the month for another visit!!”
6. Patricia D.
“Pat is amazing. She’s in tune to each individual dog in her care. Her girl Gully is so precious too. Welcoming each guest (fur and non fur alike) in their home. Pat was in communication with us and even sent pictures of our boys. Our two dogs were cared for and loved on. Pat is a true blessing - caring for our boys so we could travel with peace knowing they were in the best care. A true home away from home.”
7. Taylor L.
“Taylor was great! I was super nervous leaving my senior pup while away for a business trip, but Taylor made me feel at ease. She sent me pictures and updates often. I would highly recommend Taylor for any of your canine needs. She is very sweet and super caring. Thank you so much Taylor for taking great care of my furry baby.”
8. Lora & Brenda B.
“Lora was above and beyond with the care of our fur babies. This was our first time not boarding our dogs in a kennel, and we will never go back to that style again. Lora kept us updated with our babies, sent pictures and was great with communication. We look forward to hiring her again to watch our fur children!!”
9. Darcy & Dave B.
“Freyja seemed to have a great time staying with Darcy & Dave, playing with the other dogs the whole time. The pictures and videos provided put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Freyja will be returning the next time I need a sitter.”
10. Lysi & Seth M.
“The best pet sitter I’ve ever used. I’ve been using rover for a few years now, and have met some great people that share the same love for pets that I have. When my pup came home she was so happy, made a new friend and can’t wait to go back to visit! I felt safe knowing she was with a family that actually cares and that means the world. 🤍☺️”
11. Kenneth & Dawn V.
“Chief had a great stay! As a rescue and loyal dog, we worried he might feel abandoned but Ken & Dawn treated him like he was their dog. It was wonderful and reassuring to get pictures & videos of him during his stay. I highly recommend!”
12. Kate L.
“Our Maltese, Barney, stayed with Kate for the first time and we will definitely be booking with Kate again. Kate was very attentive to Barney’s needs and schedule and took the time to review Barney’s information beforehand so that our meet and greet and drop off were a breeze! It put my mind at ease to know that Barney was staying with someone who was responsible and caring enough to take some time to learn about him and prepare. Kate sent daily pictures and communication was great! Kate was also flexible with our drop off and pick up times. Thanks for taking great care of Barney!”
13. Cj C.
“Cj is excellent! It was obvious Nero enjoyed his 2 days very much with her and her fur babies. Cj took great care of Nero, and it’s clear she is dedicated to providing the best quality of life possible to her own pups. I felt very secure, and we will definitely visit again anytime we require boarding or day care! Thank you!”
14. Gail F.
“Gale has been a dog owner for years and I know very few people Who care for their pets as well as she does. I can give you an example I know of a Chow chow She took care of 4 many years that had seizures this Dog required so much care attention and medication And she provided all of that And gave that chow chow a better life that it had a chance of having In so many other scenarios.”
15. Karina P.

Why do dog owners love Melbourne?
From fishing and golf to snorkeling or simply sunning oneself, there are so many reasons to love Melbourne and its beaches - surf's always up in this Florida hot spot. Family-oriented Melbourne dog owners love feeding the giraffes at Brevard Zoo, and leap at the chance to brave the ropes course and go-karts at Andretti Thrill Park. (Prefer zip-lining? Treetop Trek Aerial Adventures is your spot.) Other nature-boasting Melbourne hotspots include the 121-mile-long Indian River and the Wickham Park recreation area. And the city's also host to annual festivals such as the Independent Filmmaker's Festival, Arts Festival, Aviation Day, and Oktoberfest.
What are some great dog-walking parks in Melbourne?
Melbourne dog boarding sitters love to take dogs for adventures to the many pet-friendly parks around the city. Some popular dog-friendly parks include the 10-acre Ballard Park on the Indian River Lagoon and the Eau Gallie River. Wickham Park features a walking path and nature trails, as well as an off-leash dog park; grassy Wells Park surrounds a good-sized pond and features a nice walking path; Bean Park is a quaint, waterfront park with walkways; Tallwood Park's 4.4 acres provide great nature trails; and Rossetter Park contains several beautiful old live oaks adorned with hanging moss. Or for something a little extra special, visit Erna Nixon Park, named after a Melbourne Village naturalist. This nature preserve is popular for its outdoor community events like the Moonlight Stroll that takes place after dark with live music and food vendors. Another highlight of the park is the 3,000-foot elevated boardwalk that winds through a natural Florida hammock, filled with native plant species and small animals.
What are some great neighborhoods for dogs in Melbourne?
Along with beautiful parks for dog to enjoy, Melbourne's many neighborhoods are also dog friendly. Stroll Eau Gallie Arts District, window shopping its museums and galleries, or wander through historic downtown Melbourne area and its eclectic mix of restaurants, bars, and shops. Whether your Melbourne dog boarding host takes your best friend on a dog walk in one of Melbourne's beautiful parks while dog sitting or stays around the neighborhood, you can have peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with Rover!
