House Sitting • Jul 08, 2026

Melanie stayed at our home & watched our puppy Millie, while we were away on a long Florida vacation. Since she’s still a puppy, I was extremely anxious about leaving her for over a week—but I truly had nothing to worry about! Millie absolutely adored Melanie, and it was clear she was so well cared for. We received updates and photos every morning and throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Millie needed ear medication and ear flushes for the first half of the week, and Melanie stayed on top of everything, making sure her treatment never missed a beat. She also comforted Millie during the 4th of July fireworks which I was very grateful for!! She went above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter for their fluffy family members. We can’t thank her enough for taking such wonderful care of our sweet girl during the holiday 🤍

Our pup, Zoe, loved staying with Melanie, Ryan & Otis. Zoe loved playing and hanging out with Otis. We got lots of pics and video while she was there. They treated her like their own.

Thank you SO much for caring for Sammi while we traveled for a family funeral. We feel so comfortable leaving her in Melanie and Ryan's hands... and she is Otis's bestie now! <3

Melanie and Ryan are awesome sitters! They sent daily updates with photos and videos. Otis is a big sweet boy and my dog loved playing with her during her stay. Would recommend these two (and Otis) to anyone!!

My anxious girl was loved, nurtured, and felt comfortable in their care. They provided daily updates which helped calm my mom guilt. I knew she was happy . They were quick to accommodate my delayed flight and late arrival. It is evident how much they care .

I have a huge yard that is fenced. I also have a 2 year old pup who loves to play and run around. He does well with matching other dogs energy. He is a huge sleeper during the day. We love to cuddle. We love taking pups on walks.
