Work-from-home puppy mom w/big yard

I am a loving puppy mom who works from home and is able to provide 24/7 attention to my furry guests. My husband and I both come from dog-loving families who treat our dogs as direct extensions of our family. I grew up caring for my family's dogs, and have years of experience taking care of multiple dogs at a time. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have experience hosting my family and friends' dogs for play dates and extended dog sitting. Our dogs love to socialize, and are always looking for new friends to visit, play, and sleep over. We have had a recent addition to our little family. Rye and JoJo love their human brother, and have done a great job teaching him how to love and respect pets.

What a pleasure to entrust someone with the care of your dog and feel like he's been in the best hands possible. It's really reassuring and comforting. Thank you Melanie. I'm sure that Tucker would like to use mapquest to come back for a return visit. Great experience!

Melanie is amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her and I had never left him with anyone other than family members before. She sent pictures each morning and evening and an update of what he was doing. He was returned to us just as happy as he was when we dropped him off! We will definitely be using Melanie again!

Melanie is the dream sitter! Multiple pictures a day of Rascal which helps ease my dog mom guilt while away on vacation. Rascal truly enjoys visiting her and playing with her fur babies. He comes home just exhausted, which helps us get back to reality after vacation.

Thank you Melanie for taking such great care of my little one! I know that Charlie was treated like part of the family during her stay with Melanie. I loved all of the pictures and she went above and beyond bathing her for me. Melanie will definitely be at the top of my list next time I am going out of town!

Pets

A typical day

Our dogs will tell you that one of their favorite things to do is play in the yard. We have ample room to play catch, run around freely in a secure area, and even go for a swim in the pool in the summertime. We live in a quiet neighborhood with safe streets that are ideal for frequent walks. Our home is also in close proximity to a number of fun parks with lots of green spaces that we love to visit. When they aren't enjoying themselves outdoors, our doggies and their guests enjoy playing with toys in their very own space, or lounging in the living room and cuddling up with us on the couch to catch their favorite television programs!

As true dog lovers we love dogs in all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Our only requirement is that a dog is not aggressive and plays well with others. If your dog has any special needs or care requirements, we are happy to accommodate them as long as we know ahead of time.
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.
