“I'm so glad I found Melissa on Rover. She is super personable. I was kinda anxious about how it would go for BJ to be around other dogs, since he hadn't been, so we set up a meet 'n greet weeks before. Melissa was very intentional in introducing BJ to her dogs and was so good at "reading" BJ's responses and then reassuring me that he would do good. While she cared for BJ she sent encouraging messages and pictures daily. Definitely a positive experience for Bj and myself as his owner.”
“De’Aysia was great!!!! I was hesitant at first, especially being new to the area, but De’Aysia made sure I was out at ease. She sent videos and pictures often, at different times of the day and showed Zoe so much love!!! She also gave me heads up to let me know how Zoe was around other dogs and let me know if any concerning behavior Zoe was displaying. 10/10 will recommend for anyone on the fence!”
“First time using Rover and Chelsey B., couldnt be more pleased with our experience. Our dogs were very loved and taken care of. She gave us a great peace of mind with updates during their stay as well. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic! Let us know how our dog was doing all throughout the stay, and was very communicative. Super nice, and couldn’t recommend more. We will for sure use Lola for any future trips with our dog!”
“Our flight got delayed and September accomodated our request to hold Lucas past the pickup time. She send nice photos and when picking him, we can feel he was happy and safe.”
“Kerstin is absolutely the BEST! Her and her family treated our energetic 20 month old German Shepard like if he was part of their family. She sent us pictures and updates on him every day. She is amazing with pets and has so much patience. We were so happy to find her she gave us such a relief on our 1st time vacation after getting Slinky. Definitely will be taking Slinky to Kerstin in a future. Don’t overthink it she is the BEST!!!”
About: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.
“Emily and her family take great care of our doggo. He immediately goes inside her house when we drop him off which means he enjoys his time there. She always send a daily pic and he always looks happy and our dog has a great time with her dogs and cats. Definitely we recommend her!”
“Megan and her partner have taken such good care of my two pups twice now. They have been patient and understanding with the doggos’ behaviors and send the cutest picture updates of the shenanigans they get into! My dogs are hesitant to trust others and took to Megan and her partner right away and because of their patience and intentional approach to letting my dogs gets used to them. She is very communicative and sincere about loving on your animals while you are away which is greatly appreciated. All of that, plus, Megan being the absolute sweetest definitely helps make it easy to pick her to trust my fur babies with each time now. Highly recommend working with Megan.”
About: I have 3 small rescued dogs and they love other dogs and enjoy playmates. We have a doggie door that they can access the yard from 6 AM to 9 PM. The yard is secure and the fence is 4 feet high. Your dog will get played with, loved and spoiled in my care. I do not anticipate any problem with my daily or weekly routine. I would not accept an assignment if I knew I was too busy that week. Your pet comes first with me. Your fur baby will be in great hands. We love dogs, and our dogs are very friendly and enjoy other dogs. I never get tired of giving attention to any animal.

“Jaden was wonderful. Very friendly and accommodating. Blue loved his stay with Jaden. She was always in touch with pictures and videos of blue’s stay. She went above and beyond to deliver a 5 star service. Would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thank you Jaden.”
“Melody was so great with our dogs & they loved their stay. Her yard was perfect with a great fence & she was able to accommodate our high energy girl by taking her on walks. Would definitely recommend Melody & we so appreciate the care she showed our dogs while we were gone.”
“Rachelle and Nate are the best. We feel so secure leaving our two doodles with them because they are so affectionate with our “kids” and are great communicators with messages and photos during their stay. ❤️❤️”
“Bonnie and Skylar were amazing sitters for Rainier. Skylar has the most calm energy which is perfect for dogs. Rainier really enjoyed his time at their place being accepted into their pack and I received daily updates with photos. He even gave Rainier a bath which I have a difficult time getting him to do. Was worried that Rainier wouldn't want to even go back home with me he was having so much fun.”
