Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that need attention during their stay. I am experienced taking care of geriatric and handicap dogs. I can work with a wide range of personalities, especially if I know about their quirks and eccentricities ahead of time. There is no need to provide poop bags, bowls, or beds unless your pup would feel more comfortable with his own. Feel free to bring but I have plenty here if you choose not to.

A typical day

We will have the best time while you are away. If your dog is active I will keep them busy during the day. We will play games and run around exploring. I also have a small dog that will be a playful companion.

Vacay for Fido...The Bougie Biscuit

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets for more than 30 years. Experienced in both geriatrics's and puppies. Patient, caring, and safe pet care services available 24/7. The Bougie Biscuit is a Vacay for Fido❤️ Daily walks and fenced exercise available. I work from home with flexible hours so I'm available for pet care services anytime of the day, most days. Daycare and boarding, I have a dog run and plenty of outdoor deck space. I have a small dog if your dog wants to be social. Your dog will never be left unattended outside on the deck or the dog run. Willing to crate if thats your preference. If I'm staying in your home, I will comply to whatever comfort rules you choose... For pet sitting in your home, I'm willing to cover the Reno,Carson, Truckee, area's also.

Melissa provided amazing care for our mini golden doodle, we were so thrilled to have found her on such short notice! We are also really excited to know we now have a safe and happy place for him when we need to board him! Thank you Melissa and thank you Rover!

If I could give Melissa 5 more stars I would. She was an absolute angel to our Mia. Very easy to work with super accommodating, communicated throughout the day, made sure Mia got a nice long walk. She’s an absolute dog whisperer ;) We could tell Mia had a great time. Can’t wait to be back in Tahoe next summer for another doggy play date for Mia!

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.
