“We are so happy we chose Michael to watch our dog while we were away. His communication was great, and he sent picture updates which were great because we missed her! When we picked her up she seemed so happy and he had given her a bath which was above and beyond!!”
“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our beloved Cavapoo, Leo, in the care of Melissa, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Leo, being the picky eater he is, can be quite a handful, but Melissa handled everything with grace and dedication. From the moment we met Melissa, it was clear that Leo was in good hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Leo's comfort and well-being. Understanding his finicky eating habits, she took extra care to prepare his meals and making sure he ate properly. What truly set Melissa apart was her consistent communication. She sent us regular updates and adorable pictures of Leo enjoying his time, which not only kept us informed but also made our vacation so much more peaceful and enjoyable. She even checked in with us to ask how our vacation was going, consistently ensuring that we were happy and reassured. Melissa's deep affection for animals was evident as she lovingly referred to Leo as "baby" throughout his stay. Thanks to Melissa, we were able to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing Leo was happy and well-cared for. Her attentiveness and genuine love for animals shown through in every interaction. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and loving Dog sitter. If you ever want to leave your loving dog to have a lovely vacation and be assured the dog is in good hands, look no further than Melissa. Thank you, Melissa, for making Leo's stay so wonderful and for giving us peace of mind during our vacation!”
“My dog (pitbull) stayed there for the weekend and I can tell he had a blast time! Thank you for the pictures, updates, and everything! Highly recommend!! More than 5 stars”
“Michelle and Mike were fantastic with my dog Molly! She can be pretty shy but right from the start they made her feel at home and I could see from all the photos they sent that Molly was very comfortable with them. I'll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“As always Baxter had a wonderful time with Tracee and family! Such a warm and welcoming home. We feel so lucky to have found you Tracee! Thanks for taking such good care of Baxter!”
“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“Maryjane is wonderful! She sent pictures and updates everyday and our little pooch was very well taken care of. Our young children came along during our meet and greet and they were very comfortable in Maryjane's home as well. She's very calm and welcoming... A great caretaker for any pooch. :)”
“Paul was absolutely great! Our dogs had a blast running around in his yard and playing with the other friendly dogs that were there. Paul sent picture and video updates which were so fun. We knew we could relax while being away because our dogs were in good hands. I would highly recommend Paul as a Rover sitter to anyone!”
“Jake found his home away from home. Lauren was attentive and communicated consistently throughout Jake's stay. The daily photos and updates were appreciated so we could keep tabs on our furry pet. Jake settled well back home after his stay. Thank you for caring so well for our dog 🐕”
“Pawradise :) I can’t keep complimenting this family. I feel completely at ease that I can work and that my little buddy is having the time of his life in a safe environment and that I get to show him off in photos that I receive to all my work colleagues. Will always be my first go too !”
“Great pet sitter I left my dog 🐕 and I knew she was going to be in good hands. Zaqeisha send me pictures of Fiona to show me how she was doing every other day . I will definitely contact her in the future.”
“I highly recommend Dyane. As many other reviewers have said, she is a wonderful person - very kind, reliable, a great communicator - and takes her role as a caretaker for your pet very seriously. She watched my senior dog who has some health issues this month, and took such good care of her. My dog was clearly very comfortable and happy being with Dyane and at her house. Dyane took really good care of her, including her special needs (meds, going out often, special diet). I really appreciated that she genuinely seemed to care about my dog and enjoyed her (and her funny personality) - it didn't feel like this was just a job for her. Dyane went above and beyond to make it a great stay for my dog and to make sure that I never had to worry about a thing while I was away - she made sure she had all of the necessary health/vet information before we left and she sent updates at least a couple times a day while we were away. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could:).”
“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“No better dog sitter then Megan, responded quickly to my messages, made sure my dog was comfortable through the 8 days he stayed with her, provided photos and updates, a great sitter who I will continue to use in the future, will provide so much care and love for your dogs!”
“Maria was great! Her Boston is a sweetheart and Ella had a great time playing with the other dogs there during her stay. Their home is very dog friendly and comfortable. Definitely recommend!”
About: I worked at a pet lodge for awhile, taking care of all the dogs who ranged from little to very large dogs and also cats. My work there was to clean up after the dogs and take them out to use the restroom four times a day. I am diligent and a great listener, and will do whatever it takes to make the customer happy. I am always on time and in the appropriate attire for working professionally. I am such an animal lover, whether it be dogs or cats. My family used to have a morkie, which was a Maltese and a Yorkie mix, she was precious but sadly ran away. I look forward to hopefully taking care of your lovely pet! Thank you.
“We're very happy to have found Melani. She kept us informed regularly with photos and let us know what he's been doing, etc. which made us feel really good being that he's a pup and this was the first time we left him. Melani's love of dogs is evident and made us feel confident that we made the right choice. Keiki will definitely be back.”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”

She has experience working with cats and dogs at a local kennel. She excelled there but due to COVID they cut back. Her confidence will make any pet feel safe, and at ease. She’s an asset worthy of serious consideration. Thankyou”
