Pet care experience

Noah's. Sit. and. Stay

I’ve been a furry mom for more than 20 yrs. I’ve owned and trained American Bulldogs and Pitbulls Sadly, I lost my fur baby of 14yrs in 2022. But so glad I started Rover because now I get to love on other dogs in the spirit of my Izze girl 🐶. I love dogs and enjoy spending time with them outdoors on warm days. Your pet will get playtime, love and lots of attention. Guaranteed two 30 min walks for daily (more if required), basic pet training if necessary, meals and of course a warm comfy place to rest at night. I work full time from home so I’m available for mid day walks, evenings and weekends. Dogs are the best!! I have beds, bowls and plenty of toys, Dogs allowed on furniture. I can easily crate your dog if requested however this is a kennel free boarding experience in my home. Recently, I became a dog mom again after recusing and adopting a 1yr old male Shitzu named Noah. Noah is sweet, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. He’s really enjoying his new home and doggie friends 🐶.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 27, 2025

Melinda is amazing!! It was my first time booking with her as a new dog owner and she relieved a lot of my anxiety. She would provide me with updates and pictures of my puppy! Even provided me with feedback, which i really appreciated as a first time dog owner. She was super accommodating as well. Melinda is sweet, caring and I would definitely recommend her to others!

Melinda has taken excellent care of Walter! She provided pictures throughout the day to show all the fun he was having and treated him just like her own. Will definitely book more dates in the future. Thank you Melinda!! 😊

Melinda was great with our puppies - they had a great time and felt nice and settled with Melinda. Communication with Melinda is easy and she’s super responsive. She has everything your fur baby needs too. The regular updates with photos was super helpful, especially for us leaving our youngest puppy for the first time. We will be back!

Let me know if you dog has special preferences or needs. The more information I know about your pet the better the stay will be. For example, I had a pup that need to stay in her cone while in the house- no problem.
