Your Exclusive Private Sitter

Our family has owned and cared for a wide range of dog and cat sizes. We started boarding dogs when the last of our pack passed away in 2022 and we still wanted to enjoy sharing our loving hearts with other fur babies that may need a some extra love when their family is away. We finally reopened our hearts and adopted our kitty Cinder in Dec 2025 and continue to offer exclusive boarding for other fur babies. Whatever your needs for exclusive boarding including senior pups, reactive pups, or pups with separation anxiety; our house offers a large open floor plan for your fur baby to feel comfortable in their “home” away from “home”.

Melanie and her family were absolutely wonderful with my very timid dog, Skye. This was Skye’s first Rover experience, and she was so well taken care of, understood, and supported. Melanie and her family really know and love dogs. Melanie was amazing to work with, and I’m very grateful for the empowering experience for Skye.

Melanie and her family took such great care of Bennie! He actually ate while we were away - which is huge! We were given plenty of updates and pictures and overall couldn’t be happier with the love and care he received!!!

Melanie and her family are terrific! My 14 yr old yellow lab absolutely adores them. Whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or simply providing love and playtime, Melanie goes above and beyond. I received daily updates, photos, and detailed notes about my dog’s activities and well-being. This not only gave me peace of mind but also made me feel connected to her even while I was away. Your pets will be in the best hands possible, and you can rest assured knowing they are being cared for by someone who treats them as if they were her own.

Require your fur baby to be people friendly and potty trained. Our kitty Cinder prefers cat friendly pups but also will retreat upstairs during stays if need be. Would like to know any other unique needs to ensure superior comfort for your fur baby while in my care. You can send any additional questions or concerns to FM33Investments@yahoo
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
