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! 😊

Cooper and Lexie were well cared for and relaxed when we picked them up. I appreciated the photos that were sent showing them enjoying both indoor and outside with Flavio. Thank you for making my shopping trip possible!

They did such a great job taking care of our dogs! They have lots of anxiety but I could tell they felt safe and happy with these two! Definitely rebooking!

The only thing is that, I wish the communication was more consistent.

Couldn’t have asked for any better. Fabio and Melany are exactly the type of people you want to leave your fur babies with.

They were absolutely fantastic. You could tell they really formed a bond with my dog. Real caring. I cannot say enough good things about how they cared for him.

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.
