“Alexis did a marvelous job with BoBo. She provided daily updates with pictures of BoBo enjoying himself. Alexis also made last minute changes to drop BoBo off at home for we could not make it there to pick him up. Alexis is highly recommended!!”
“Gabrielle was an Awesome and Exceptional sitter. She took very good care of my 14 year old fur baby (Kaya) that also required daily medication administration. Kaya took to her instantly…she is definitely a “Dog Whisper” and all my anxiety about leaving my fur baby for a week resolved and I was very comfortable with Gabrielle. Kaya got along really well with Gabrielle’s dog. Gabrielle sent me photos, updates, and took Kaya on walks during Kaya’s stay. It was evident that Kaya enjoyed her stay with Gabrielle. I DEFINITELY and HIGLY recommend Gabrielle to anyone looking for a Rover. Gabrielle has the experience, patience, and love every fur baby needs while providing a HOME away from Home. I will absolutely book with Gabrielle for all my future Rover needs. “THANK YOU” Gabrielle!!!????”
“We had a last-minute trip and needed a dog sitter for a night. Alise was quick to respond to our request, and sent numerous updates and pictures of our fur kids while we were gone. Our pups had a lovely stay and were very comfortable with her and her dog Caesar. She's excellent! Thank you Alise!”
“Martina took such good care of my fur baby, Murray. Her communication was excellent, she regularly sent me pictures and updates. Murray had some separation anxiety and I did come pick him up a day early. But he was sad to leave and started whining when I put my car in reverse to back out of the driveway. We accidentally left behind his water bowl and a toy, when we returned to pick up our forgotten items he ran out of my car, up onto the porch and sat at Martina's front door. He loved staying with Martina and playing with her son”
“Jennifer and her family were great with Charlie! She kept me updated with pics and really seemed to enjoy having him around. Charlie made some new best friends with her dogs and had a great time ?? I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely ask her to watch Charlie again in the future!”
“Ms. Michelle was very helpful, loving, kindhearted, supportive and very generous to My Goldie! She administered AND documented Goldie’s seizure medications thoroughly without me even asking her to provide documentation of any kind. Ms. Michelle communicated with me throughout Goldie’s stay with her and she even sent pictures to show me Goldie’s wellbeing. I would definitely recommend Ms. Michelle for your pets needs and I’ll definitely be using her again! She even took the time to ensure Goldie was safe and comfortable by giving Goldie her own room filled with toys, food, water and litter. If that weren’t good enough, Michelle sent Goldie home with food and toys as well! Thank you Ms. Michelle for EVERYTHING!”
“Brennen and her family took wonderful care of Memphis, my 13-yr Chocolate Lab. Due to his past before I adopted him from a rescue, he has a little separation anxiety, so we always do a “meet and greet” before the longer stay. After a few minutes, it was clear he would be fine for the weekend stay. They have a nice property with a fenced grass back yard for playing and exercise. Memphis and Brennen’s son became buddies over the 3 day 2 night stay. I highly recommend Brennen and will definitely have her care for Memphis when I can’t take him on future trips.”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
“Ashley was seriously amazing! Watched my dog overnight and kept me totally in the loop with updates and cute pics, which I really appreciated. Super flexible with pickup time and even sent him home with treats and a refill of doggy bags! You can tell she genuinely cares. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Definitely booking with her again! 💛”
“Marisa was amazing with our Joi. Joi enjoyed the time with her and her family. We would definitely recommend boarding your pups with Marisa. When we’re in South Carolina again we will be using her services. 10 out of 10!!!!”
“Lindsey was amazing! She was kind, patient and knowledgeable. She treated my pups like her own, they needed a lot of understanding and special attention since we’ve never left them before. Lindsey went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved and sent lots of pictures to put us at ease. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I have loved dogs and other animals since childhood. My biggest love, little dog called Dago died couple years ago 10 days before his 19th Birthday. Best dog ever. Since than I volunteered in dog shelters and fostered dogs. Adopted Emmy, our dog we fostered (foster fail) and we also have adopted cat Scarlett. I want Your dog to feel like at home. We have plenty of yard to run and play around with our dog as well. We have baby in a house so Your dog must be kid, dog and cat friendly. Thank You I am home with a baby so Your dog will get plenty of attention. We want Your dog be included in our family and to feel comfortable. We do have fenced yard. 4 acres. Plenty of trees for shade and grass to play on whenever Your pup wants to be outside to play.
“Mellena is remarkable! She exceeded all expectations and made sure Aslan's stay was fun and full of play time, pets, and love! This was my first Rover experience and his first time spending the night away from me, but Mellena sent pictures and kept in contact with me throughout the stay, to ease my nerves and eliminate my worry. 5 Stars isn't enough. Thank you Mellena!”
“Ariel was amazing with the communication! My dog stayed with her in her home for an extended weekend and it looked like she was just at home - lounging in human beds, walks through the park, and lots of attention with toys and treats! Would definitely recommend a stay with Ariel!!”
