Couple to host friend for our dog!

Rather than adopting another dog, we decided to join Rover and host dogs so that our pooch Tanner can have a friend. He's a yellow lab who loves to hang out with other dogs. We are a young and active couple (Trey and Melissa) with a toddler who are looking for more dogs to play with. Melissa works remotely and is home all day for potty breaks & boops. We have a fully fenced backyard at our house where the dogs can romp around and expend some energy. The pups will also get walks a few times a day around the neighborhood. We have a basket full of toys, treats and bones, and couches covered in dog hair. We took some time off Rover sitting but we are back in action. We can't wait to meet you and your dog! We’d love to hear from you, but please if you’re reaching out to us, be certain your pooch is good with kids. Thank you :)

Snowball had a wonderful stay with Melissa and Thomas. I received photos and updates throughout the stay. We will use them again in the future!

Our lab, Buddy did very well during his stay with Melissa and Thomas. I know he made himself right at home as he quickly found the couch and was on it according to Melissa, which evidently didn’t break any house rules. They were very good about sending texts and pictures every day, which was wonderful… I felt very secure in knowing that Buddy was being well cared for. During Buddy’s stay it was very hot so he was indoors most of the time, but there is a great fenced in backyard, which provides for a perfect play area. It was good to hear that their dog ,Tanner, got on well with Buddy….. both sweet older dogs. I would highly recommend Melissa and Tom to to anyone looking for good caring pet sitters. When I need a pet sitter again, I would definitely go back to them.. Pam Lewnes
