Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH family to your fur babies!
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!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our boy Asher had a blast with them! We really appreciated the consistent thorough daily updates. They are so easy to communicate with and some of the best sitters!

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!


Melanie and Elisa are the best hosts! Our girls had a blast again and a much more relaxing day with them, which made for a more relaxing time for us while we hosted a big event. Can’t wait for the next stay!


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took great care of Mr. Peanutbutter and were incredibly patient and kind with him. He seemed very happy, comfortable, and healthy when I picked him up, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the daily updates, pictures, and videos they made it easy to see he was being well cared for and enjoying his time. Highly recommend.

Thanks so much! We appreciate y’all.
Thank you!!

Schedule
We are home most of the time since we both work remotely. We can do walks/potty breaks/playtime multiple times a day as needed. Both of us love going for walks in the mornings and evenings and can bring your fur baby along too!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We treat our pups like family! Frequently monitoring for their comfort and happiness. We have lots of cozy couch space and good sized back yard to run and play. If your pup isn’t very physically active, we love to keep his/her mind sharp with enrichment activities inside. We can’t wait to meet your pups!
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.
