Information Melanie & Elisa R. would like to know about your pet

Let us know if your pup has any special needs or commands that we would need to know for a cozy stay. do they have any medical issues and are they vaccinated? Also, please let us know how active your pup is and what behaviors to look out for. Thanks!

A typical day

A typical day would include a morning walk to collect sniffs in new locations, the we would hang out while we work for a bit in our home offices. We would provide an enrichment mat to stimulate the mind during the hot/cold part of the day. If they wanted to take a nap (on a cozy dog bed or couch) after playing in the backyard, they could choose to do that too! Later, we would all go for a walk in our neighborhood or at the lake across the street. If your pup has more energy, we would take them for a longer walk or play some fetch in the backyard. If they have less energy, we would be mindful and keep the walk short and maybe take a nap on the couch. We would then take an evening walk to wrap up our day and to collect more sniffs and then tuck them in for bedtime.

Pet care experience

We are two experienced dog mamas, Melanie and Elisa ready to help care for your pups! We have a combined 25+ years of dog mamma-ing, a dog friendly house + fenced yard! We are home most of the day since we both work remotely. We have loved dog sitting for friends and family over the years and enjoy keeping all the doggies entertained. Our house feels really empty after the passing of our senior pups over the last couple years and we want to open our home to yours. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and tail wags guaranteed! We also usually only provide care for one family at a time, so your pup(s) will get all the attention!

Our girls absolutely had a blast staying with Melanie and Elisa for boarding! We needed to be away for a few days for one of the biggest events of our lives and Melanie and Elisa were able to provide flexibility and safety for the dogs during what could have been a stressful time for us. It gave us so much peace of mind to know the dogs were having a blast and being so well taken care of. We weren’t sure they’d want to come home! We were provided with daily updates and photos and videos. Melanie and Elisa are the absolutely BEST and a gem on Rover. I don’t trust anybody else with our pups!

As always, we had another wonderful stay with Melanie and Elisa. We truly appreciate how attentive and caring they are with our pups. During this stay, one of our dogs experienced some tummy issues, and Melanie and Elisa did an excellent job keeping us informed about what was going on. They were proactive, communicative, and even willing to rearrange their schedules to take him to the vet if needed, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We also greatly appreciated their flexibility when an unexpected situation forced us to delay our return flight. They were incredibly accommodating in extending the stay on short notice, which relieved a lot of stress. Overall, we cannot recommend Melanie and Elisa highly enough. They are our go-to Rover sitters, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care they consistently provide!
