Boarding • Sep 28, 2025

I was in a bind after a referred dog sitter cancelled last minute, and I had to catch a flight out of town. Melissa was more than willing to help me out and was very communicative once I booked. Archie is great at sniffing out good people and I could tell he loved Melissa and Birdie at drop off. Melissa provided updates, including pictures for my reassurance. Her home is also lovely and a pet-friendly environment; not to mention, very convenient to my home. Melissa was right, Birdie will give you a kiss 😆💋! Birdie is just as welcoming as Melissa and such a sweet dog. Archie and I look forward to booking with them again! They come highly recommended!

Melissa (& Birdie) were absolutely wonderful. Our 4 month old puppy Benny made himself right at home. This was our first Rover experience and we are so lucky to have found Melissa 💖.

Melissa was fantastic, and Marlowe loved being at her house! He was fast friends with her own dog, and she took such good care of him. We for sure will book her again!
