I think my Sam had a great time with Cynthia and family…and he was so lucky that Cynthia’s daughter was there with her little dog Reggie, so he had a playmate the whole time he was there (9days). Cynthia watered her plants outside and my Sam loves to be watered also. And with the very hot weather, he enjoyed it. Will be returning!

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!

Lucia was so good with our Nova. We were nervous about her not having a fenced yard, but Lucia took Nova out to the dog park with lots of potty breaks. Nova came back happy and exhausted! When Lucia brought her out when we got there, Nova was so happy and content that she didn’t realize we were there for a moment!

Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!

Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.

Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!

Morgan did such an amazing job of taking care of our pup. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her with a non-family member, so we were a bit nervous but Morgan immediately put us at ease. She was so thoughtful, caring, and attentive. Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!
