Melissa was one of the greatest borders I’ve ever had my dogs stay at. She works from home so almost always with them, is extremely accommodating, quick on responsiveness and great at providing updates with pictures. Believe it or not, she boarded my THREE Dobermans, 2 girls and a boy, for a full 24h while I had to get out of town. Also a plus for owners with big dogs who play rough with other dogs; nothing to worry about, she does not have a dog of her own living with her! Always very positive and professional in our interactions, will definitely use her boarding services again if ever needed!

Melissa was great! I gave her short notice and she completely took care of my dog who is old and required medication. He came back tired and happy. Thank you again. A good experience for my first time using Rover.com.

Melissa was great with my two dogs while we were away for a few nights. She provided me with regular updates, gave them plenty of walks and they appeared to be very relaxed and comfortable in the pictures she sent. I will be rebooking Melissa the next time I need overnight care for my two Huskies.
