“We found Melinda to board my mom's Jack Russell days before Christmas and she was a godsend! We were nervous as this was the first time her dog has stayed with a boarder EVER, but Melinda was kind, welcoming warm and patient with our pup and the whole stay ended up better than we all could have imagined! We will use Melinda again and again!”
“I’m so happy we found a new dogsitter through Rover. Deb is a perfect fit for our 4 year old Cavapoo. Deb has a very warm, friendly demeanor, and has vast experience with dogs, both as an owner and a service dog trainer. Her golden doodle was a nice companion for our dog over his stay. I highly recommend using Deb as a trusted dogsitter.”
“Our girl Luna was in very good hands here, she felt right at home and was taken very good care of. Thank you so much Michael! We appreciate all you did for our girl while we went on vacation. We would definitely book with you again in the future!!”
“Amanda was amazing with my dog! Her dog is so loving and sweet too. I highly recommend and would absolutely use her again! Her communication was amazing and she sent me pictures of my boy when he was in her care and put my mind at ease. She was a delight!”
“Debbie and Phil have watched Zola numerous times and always treat her like their own! I never have to worry about her when she is with them. Their house and yard is an absolute retreat for Zola. Five stars all the way and highly recommend them!”
“It was a great piece of mind having Tracy watch our girl! Tracy was so courteous and sent us updates with pictures of our pup. Will definitely use again and refer others.”
“Johanny was so nice & welcomed me into her beautiful home. Was definitely a pleasure to meet her and to take good care of my little Coco. She sent me pictures & updates on how Coco was doing. I recommend her to anyone looking for a good dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need to.”
“Michelle was available in a pinch and took on my two senior yorkies. One of which is mostly deaf and requires 2 medications twice a day. Both dogs came home happy and healthy. I liked that she sent me photos of them sleeping on her couch, just like they do at home. It's nice to know they lived as part of the family and not stuck in a cage at a boarding facility.”
“Kimberle was fantastic with our 2 dogs. This was their first stay away from home and she treated them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to soothe their nerves and provide a comfortable environment for them. Would recommend highly!”
“Laura and her family took amazing care of my Australian shepherd puppy and we will be using them again many times in the future. I highly recommend using her for boarding services!”
“Olivia took care of our dog Cleo for the week. She was very professional and caring, and sent messages and photos throughout the week. By the looks of the photos, Cleo very much enjoyed her week with Olivia! Highly recommend her and would definitely use her again for boarding.”
“Chelsea was great! We did a meet n greet first about a week proud to our travel. Drop-off and pick up went smoothly and efficiently. She sent pictures every day and relayed concerns or scheduling changes promptly. We look forward to another worry free vacation!”
“Megan was such a joy to work with. She took excellent care of Luna, provided plenty of pictures, and insight into how the week was going. We could tell how much fun Luna was having and knew she was in great hands. It’s clear that Megan truly has a love of dogs and we were so thankful to have found her. We will certainly be reaching out to Megan again in the future!”
“What a fantastic experience! We had a little bit of a rocky start after dropping our dog off( by no fault of Thomas) and then it was smooth sailing. Pictures were sent throughout the duration. Would definitely book again!”
“Deirdre was amazing. We had a fairly last minute booking and she was able to accommodate our 3 dogs of different energy levels, food, medications, etc. One of our dogs can be a little reactionary but not with Deirdre. Wonderful space and a great yard for them to play in. The dogs came back tired and I swear, a little better behaved, but maybe that was the exhaustion of playing. Would definitely book again and is now our first choice going forward.”
“Haylie was great with Dice! She had great communication and Dice came back a happy girl! She was super attentive and made sure she knew all of Dice's quirks and habits so she could meet her needs! I'm really grateful for her and highly recommend!!”
“Lorraine was a blessing! She took excellent care of my baby girl. She was very kind and listened to all my neurotic instructions. She treated my girl like her own and gave her lots of love. As per my request, I got daily updates and lots of pictures. My Lucy loved staying at her house with her new BFF Koko (Lorraine's dog). I am so happy to have found my new permanent sitter!”
“Thank you so much for keeping my baby safe! Alonni & her partner were very sweet upon the meet & greet. I was nervous going away as my pup is usually attached to my hip. She kept me informed of his days, made sure to make note that his medicine was administered & sent plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease. When I came to pick him up he was excited to see his mom but I know he enjoyed his time away as he slept like a log when he came home. She kept me abreast throughout his stay & we both look forward to our next vacation away. Webby says “See you soon!” Thank you again ❤️”
About: I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new. That’s why I go the extra mile to build trust and create a calm, caring experience for both you and your dog. Whether it’s a quick walk, a day visit, or overnight boarding, you can count on me to give them the attention and love they deserve. Available on weekends for now, will soon be opening up a doggy daycare and it’ll be full time. Reach out to me for more information In your home, I will follow all the instructions necessary to have a successful day with your pup. I try to also do some training while taking care of the pups to keep them mentally stimulated as well!
