“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”
“Patti and Joe are very nice and love their dogs. Rylee's stay was good and he did receive lots of activity, attention and made a new friend in Buttons! The only issue was when Rylee returned home, he had stomach (throwing up) and potty (diarrhea) issues. I believe this was due to extra food/treats/kibble that he received outside of the instructed daily recommended kibble plan that he is accustomed to. He has a very sensitive stomach and is typically not given any people food or alternate dog food and has to follow the instructed meal schedule. Once he gets back on track he will be ok and otherwise all was well. Thank you!”
“Alexa bonded instantly with our pup and was committed to providing him with the best home away from home possible! She sent loads of pictures and checked in regularly, and it was clear from the photos that he could not have been happier! Thankful to have found such a happy place for Brady to land - he is looking forward to future stays with Alexa!”
“Great experience for us and Lucy!!!! Our dog is elderly (15) and Ruchi and her family were so welcoming and caring. Agree with all the previous reviews home is so clean and they were attentive to our dog and their dogs-who Lucy got along with just fine! We did the meet and greet and then an overnight before we leave her for extended period. It was so great to receive the text updates and pictures- Definitely put a sense of ease and peace for us as we have not left her before other than with family. Thank you!!😊”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly reassuring with the daily updates. We could tell our pup had a great time and I could tell that Sharon went the extra mile to care for our pup over the holiday with nice long walks and holiday treats. It was difficult to leave our pup behind over the holidays, but I'm so glad Sharon was there for us. We would definitey ask Sharon again if we need another sitter!”
“Shelly was great with our dogs, and they seemed to have had a great time. When we got them home they needed a nap after playing so much. Shelly's dogs are great and very friendly, our dogs liked them very much. Her property had a great deal of room for the dogs to run and play. Our dogs enjoyed being with Shelly's kids as well.”
“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Elaine is an amazing, experienced sitter and knew just how to help Floyd feel comfortable and settle in for a short stay. I appreciate the great communication and frequent updates. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring environment for their animals.”
“Sara was great! Lovely home on a lake, secluded and quiet with fenced in dog play yard. Her older dog was great with my young puppy and she sent me photo updates frequently. I would use her again!”
About: We've had Golden Retrievers since 2005 and LOVE Goldens. We currently have three Goldens - Red (age 6), Max (age 5), and Riley (age 3). We often dog sit for our family and friends that have Goldens and I love it so much, I decided to start a Rover account to do it for others that have Golden family members and need a fun, reliable place for them to go when they travel or need boarding. I'm a self-employed educational psychologist with a flexible schedule. I often work from home and am off over the summer and during school holiday breaks. We have three Golden Retrievers (ages 3, 5,and 6) who get a lot of activity. We have a huge fenced back yard, and a fenced front yard, and play fetch every day out back with the ball thrower. We also go on walks around the neighborhood. We have a doggy door, and the dogs go in and out at their leisure. Our dogs are a major part of our family. They're always with us. They sleep in my bed. Your golden(s) can sleep in my bed or room, too, or in a crate if that's what they're used to. We also have two kids (age 11 and 8), so your dog must be good with kids, as well as with other dogs.
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Just by looking at the photo of Nick and his wife, I knew I wanted them to care for our young dog, Abbie. We left her with Nick for 2 nights and 3 days and he sent pictures of her which was so thoughtful. I knew that they took very good care of her and we will definitely be using them again when our (first) grandbaby arrives! Thank you Nick and Diane!”
“Alicia was great, she kept us up to date the whole time. Maxine seem to do very well there. Hopefully Maxine will have the pleasure of staying again in the future. Thanks!!”
“Noah was great! Both my hyperactive puppy and more staid golden retriever appeared happy in the many photos he sent, and when I picked them up. They seemed to get a lot of attention, and Noah seems nice, caring and unflappable.”

Motor City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Haley and her husband came over to do a meet and greet. I went over feeding and sleep stuff but also personalities, likes and dislikes, important safeguards , ect . Haley absorbed all information and then added to Rover profile. I was very impressed. We were gone for a little over 24 hours. I received pictures and update that all dogs were good. I texted twice and received a response promptly. When we got home, dogs were excited to see us but calmed quickly and were happy. House was as we left it. Would absolutely have Haley again.
