Your dog and I will be Bestfriends

Thank you for visiting our page! This is a joint account shared by my father, Flavio and I, Melany. We work together as a team to make sure every dog in our care feels safe, loved, and at home. Some information about Me: My name is Melany. I grew up around dogs and have cared for them for as long as I can remember. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving lots of cuddles. I’m very flexible with scheduling and I always communicate with owners through messages, photos, and updates. While I’m currently away at college, I am still involved in planning and coordinating all bookings. About Flavio: Flavio is the currently the primary caregiver for our pups. He is retired and home full-time, so your dog will have company throughout the entire day. With 15+ years of dog care experience, he provides attentive, home-based care and follows each dog’s routine closely. He also enjoys backyard playtime, and giving plenty of affection. Our home includes a fully fenced yard for safe and fun outdoor time. I completely understand that delays can happen! However, if pickup is 1 hour or more past the scheduled time, a $25 late fee will be added to your bill. Please just keep me updated if you’re running behind, communication is always appreciated. Thank you so much for respecting my time and schedule! 😊

Melany and Flavio are amazing! My wife and I really appreciate them watching our pup Winslow when we have to go out of town. We’ve used them a couple of times and each visit our pup happily goes with the host. They send pictures each day so we get to see his smiling face when we are away. Whenever we need a dog sitter we will see if they are available and we recommend them to treat your pup like family.

Melany and her family have been the most amazing and consistent sitters for my fur baby. He is very high energy, and always comes home happy and tired. He even gets excited whenever we turn into their driveway, and they always give me great update and follow his care instructions. Can't wait to book again!

Melany and Flavio took such good care of my dog, Mello, while I was away for the weekend! They kept me updated and respond quickly. Mello usually takes time to get used to people but took no time at all to warm up to them. Their home is neat, clean and relaxing with a very beautiful, flowered outdoor space. Will certainly consider booking again the next time I’m out of town!

Before your dog’s stay, we will ask if your pup takes any medications, has any allergies, fears, special habits, or behaviors (including reactivity or aggression). This helps us provide the safest and most comfortable care possible.
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.
