Would recommend 🐾 has watched my pup during every holiday imaginable as I travel for work and don’t live close to home. So thankful to have a friend like Mel
I have a yorkie who is afraid of everything and usually does not warm up to people or other dogs easily but she gets along great with dolce which says a lot i met melissa at a local animal shelter where she volunteers and right away i could tell how much she cares about animals NOT ONLY did dolce and my princess become besties but me and mel did too she is kind patient and so gentle with dogs especially ones that are nervous or shy she takes her time and never forces anything i trust her completely with my dog and i know she would treat any dog with the same love and care she shows every day
i was there when melissa adopted dolce and from that moment i saw how much she cared about her dolce was not just a pet she was family melissa made sure she was safe loved and happy every single day i have seen the way she takes care of dolce and it is truly like no other Mel cares for my senior dog the same exact way with so much patience and kindness she understands that older dogs need extra time extra care and extra love and she never rushes them she pays attention to what they need and makes sure they are comfortable at all times she may be new to rover but she is not new to caring for dogs she treats every dog like they are her own i would trust her with any dog without hesitation and i know they would be in good hands
We love Melissa and Dolce! By far the best with dogs I’ve experienced out of everyone I know even including my own family members, Mel is the best at making my little guy feel safe and loved. Thank you Mel always
Melissa may be new to Rover, but she is not new to caring for dogs like they are her own 🐶❤️ She watched my puppy when he was not even four months old, and I never worried for a second. She kept me updated, was patient and attentive, and made sure he felt safe and loved ✨ Puppies are not easy, but she handled everything calmly and confidently. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone, especially fellow puppy parents 🐾
Best dog sitter ever! Feel safe leaving my little one behind while I leave the area. Her dog dolce is the sweetest ever and gets along so well with mine.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
So much room for your little one to run around! I have a spacious high rise apartment dedicated to making your pup feel safe and at home. Potty breaks/walks as frequent as needed. I own 1 extremely friendly loving dog who I can keep separate from yours if requested. A stay with us comes with toys, cuddles and so much fun!
Pets
A typical day
Living in an apartment doesn’t limit the care I provide. I’m very active and walk Dolce daily, and I’m happy to match whatever activity level your pet is used to. Whether your dog needs long walks, extra playtime, or structured exercise, I adapt to their routine to make sure they’re properly stimulated and cared for.
