I am a stay at home mom and my babies go to daycare during the week. Your furbabies will get lots of love and attention while under our care. My children were raised to be gentle and give animals space and are okay with high energy large dogs as well that don't know how to give space.

Love to take care of furbabies!

Pet care experience

Hi! I previously fostered puppies and dogs for a dog rescue and owned my own dogs before they passed. I grew up with cats as well. We do not currently have any of our own animals, but my children have helped while I was doing foster care and we have taken care of large dogs with high energy, to puppies, to three legged dogs and blind/deaf puppies. We love animals and would love to welcome your fur babies into our home while you are at work or traveling. Our home has a doggy door and large, fully fenced backyard.

Melissa and her family were wonderful with Scooby and Lacey. The pictures she shared were wonderful and helped us fully enjoy our time away knowing that the pups were being so well cared for! 😊

Our dog has stayed with Melissa a couple times now and he has loved it! Melissa and her family love our dog like he’s their own! Melissa sends lots of pictures to keep me updated on how much fun my dog is having! We can’t wait to use Melissa again when we go out of town!

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.
