Pet care experience
As your pet care provider I value comfort, safety and trust. When choosing a sitter I know that It can be difficult decision, I am happy to offer a meet and greet to find out if we are a good fit for each other! I have been offering pet care through Rover for six years now. I currently offer boarding and daycare in my home, as well as drop in visits or walks. Taking care of pets is my full time job and I love what I do! I will host up to 3 rover dogs (4 if from the same family) at a time in my home. I keep my groups small in size, we want this to be a comfortable situation for both of us! I feed dogs separately and only feed the food you provide, unless treats or snacks are approved before hand. As safety and comfort are a top concern we ask that your dog be crate trained. If I need to run errands I use crates for everyone's safety. Many of our visitors crate sleep at night as well. I can accommodate other request for sleep arrangements if notified. I have experience with giving insulin shots, administering medications and caring for senior dogs. ** while I do board dogs up to 40 lbs, I will no longer take large breed puppies for the safety of my children and small breed dog guest. Boarding and Day Care: When your baby stays with us they become part of the family! We love on them and let them roam freely around the house with us. We have a fenced yard and I am home full time. I love animals and enjoy making sure they get the care that they need! The dogs in our care get lots of play time, exercise and all the loves they can handle! I have three children ages 12, 7 and 5. My girls absolutely love all the different pups who have come over the years and they get so excited when favorites come back or when we get a request for a new visitor!! When we have multiple visitors, dogs will not be left alone or unsupervised. I give several potty breaks each day (every 1-2 hrs) that are supervised in the fenced yard. I send daily updates and pictures to keep your mind at ease. I know it’s not always easy to leave your loved one, thank you for trusting us with your family! Drop Ins and Walks : During drop ins at your home I will get your pup a potty break or clean your cats litter. I can feed them and offer some play time as well as make sure every thing is well at your home. I will contact you should the need arise during a visit if something needs immediate attention. I offer walks and enjoy getting your furry friend some exercise. A rover card will be sent at the end of each visit to let you know I have completed the visit and how things went! *discounted price for multiple pets from the same family is offered *Boarding rate is for 24 hours of care, if your dog stays longer than 24 hours a daycare fee will be added * day care rate for up to 8 hrs of day care, additional charges will be added for extended hours of care * drop ins and walks will have a fee added if I travel over 6 miles one way. ****please see additional pricing for holiday and puppy rates. Pet sitting is my Full time Job. so If your pup stays with me I am home for a majority of the day! I do offer walks and drop ins, so during those time dogs either get to hang out with my husband Damon who works from home or I crate them when I am out of the house.
Reviews
Melisa and her sweet family are so wonderful! They loved on our fur babies so well :) Always kept us updated and informed. We will definitely be using her again!
Melisa is great! Easy to communicate with and quick to respond. I boarded my 5 month old puppy with her for three nights and my puppy was safe and happy. I appreciated the daily updates and photos of my puppy while I was out of town.
Melisa did a great job caring for our puppy! We loved seeing photos of all the fun that he had with Melisa's family and the other dogs in her care. She had lots of stories about their time together which made us so happy! It's evident that she is so passionate about the dogs in her care. Georgie looks forward to his next play date!
Norman was in good hands! Daily updates and photos kept our minds at ease while we were away. He came home happy & healthy after our trip and that’s what’s important!

Availability
Pet care is my full time job. With having three kids I occasionally am running errands and playing taxi. However, my husband Damon works from home so pets are rarely left alone. If the occasion arises that we are all out of the house dogs are crated or separated for the safety of your pet and my home.
