Pet care experience
Hello there, we're Melissa and Arian! We're passionate about providing a cozy and engaging home-away-from-home for your furry friend. We both work from home, so your pup will have constant companionship and attention throughout the day. Our playful 45-pound Australian Shepherd mix, who adores the company of other dogs, is always up for a game of fetch or a run in the yard. We have a spacious fenced-in yard that is equipped with two dog doors, designed to comfortably accommodate dogs up to 120 pounds. This means your pup can roam freely between indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring they get the exercise and fresh air they need. With years of experience in pet care, we understand the importance of making dogs feel secure and content in their new environment. We've been part of the Rover community for several years, and our track record reflects our commitment to ensuring every pup feels right at home.
Reviews
This was our first time having a dog sitter but Melissa and Arian made our pup feel at home and us comfortable. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if/when the need arises.
I can’t say enough good things about Melissa and her husband! I left my 9th month year old puppy in their care over the thanksgiving holiday and they took amazing care of him. My puppy was so happy the entire time playing with their dogs and running around their big backyard. They were also fantastic communicators which so nice because it was my first time away from my dog for this long. Highly recommend!
They are the best! Gave me constant updates, and put my mind at ease, being away from my little man for so long. Would call on them again in a heartbeat!
Zeppi had a great time. I picked her up and she was exhausted from playing all day.

Information Melissa I. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know if the dog has any medical/special needs. I would also like to know if they have any aggressive tendencies we should be aware of.
A typical day
We work from home so your pup will get lots of attention during the day. We take regular breaks to play with the pups, throw a ball in the yard, and take walks around the neighborhood. I'm an avid runner, so if your pup is up for it, we can also go for runs!
