Having peace of mind that Zoee is content and well cared for is super important to me. Debora provided excellent care, and a calm vacation spot for our little mini-yorkie while we were out of state. Highly recommend :)

Our dogs have stayed at Melanie’s three times recently. One of our dog’s is a rescue and very scared everyone. They are both very well taken care of and look comfortable at Melanie’s. We won’t send our dogs to anyone else. Thank you!

We left our pup for the very first time ever and Sam was awesome! She kept us informed with photos and updates throughout his stay! He seemed to love being there and had a blast running around with the others pups! We will for sure book with Sam again !

We are very happy with care we got for Flynn from Candace. She posted updates timely and I highly recommend her. Pictures were really lovely and funny. We never captured Flynn with smiley face.

Angela and Dan were amazing. They treated Buddy like he was their own. I know he felt so safe and loved. He was tired when he came home because he had so much fun going on walks! I loved all of the pictures they sent!

Laura provided great care for my pup for a couple of days while we were traveling--doing boring people stuff--in her area; we received a happy (and tired) pooch at the conclusion of her stay. Would definitely book again!

This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!

Tam and her partner were exactly who you'd want to leave your fur baby with, and in my case, totally saved the day with a last minute booking. They were friendly, extremely responsive and from the pictures, my picky chihuahua had a great time. Would def book again!

Alok did a fantastic job when watching my dog Max. He had Max for about a week and a half, during this time he kept me informed, sent pictures and was only a text away. Max was very calm and comfortable with him and his daughters when I picked him up. He will be watching Max again soon while I’m gone on a weekend trip and I look forward to another great experience.

About: I grew up with dogs and now have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. Our cats are both American Shorthair and our dog is a golden retriever! I’m currently a stay at home mom and we love watching some furry friends during our days! We can let them out multiple times, go on walks, and play. Our big fenced in backyard makes for a fun time! I have two very friendly cats who warm up quickly to other animals or hide until they feel comfortable! We also have a golden retriever who loves other animals and loves to play! I live in house with a fenced in backyard!

We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Lara and Cary were very responsive. We are so happy with how they cared for our two dogs. Based on the conversation and the pictures they sent, our pups were totally spoiled during their stay. Thanks so much for taking such great care of our fur babies!

This was our first stay with Jessica and we could not be more pleased! Our older dog settled right in at Jessica's. She did a great job of updating us and sending pictures. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was very well cared for. We will definitely leave our dog with Jessica again.

Shawna and her family were amazing! She communicated effectively, asked good questions and loved on our pup. I think he enjoyed it more at their house than he does at home. Great experience and can’t wait for our pup to visit again.

I’m new to Rover and have never boarded my 4 year old dog before. Knowing I would need to board him for 2 weeks this summer, I researched available sitters months in advance and was impressed by Sammy’s page. I brought my dog in for a day of day camp before his extended stay, and he enjoyed it immensely! Sammy was absolutely wonderful during the 2 weeks of providing frequent updates, and did everything possible to help me feel confident in leaving my pup with someone new as she knew I was nervous about it. I appreciate the small groups she keeps, and love the schedule of activity the dogs get! She focuses on helping the animals bond and form a pack, and it’s evident that she truly enjoys caring for animals. We’ll be back for sure— thank you Sammy!
