Highlights
Pet care experience
Work from home loving couple
Chris and I have a lot of love for animals. We both grew up caring for and taking care of our pets. Ever since we moved to our new home, we found ourselves dog sitting for our friends and families, and we thought it would be a good idea to help out our neighbors as well. We only watch one dog family at a time, so your dog will receive all our love and affection. They will be walked two times a day and will be able to play in our backyard under our supervision. You will also receive daily pictures of your dog so you know they are enjoying their vacation.

Ratings and reviews
Melissa and Christopher took wonderful care of our very active and at times reactive Australian Cattle Dog/heeler Pepper! We only have had her since January and it was our first time leaving her since adopting her so it was hard to know how she would do with a boarding situation. She loves to play non stop and Melissa and Christopher sent many videos of her playing and having a great time! We knew she may struggle on walks but she had access to their lovely back yard space which was wonderful and it sounds like they problem solved very well when she had some reactivity at certain spots in the neighborhood. We so appreciated the daily updates and that they were patient with her and only care for one dog at a time. She came back to us a happy girl who was clearly looked after with great care! Thank you so much for you excellent care of our work in progress gal Pepper!!
Melissa and Chris took wonderful care of my senior dog for a week while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. They were caring and attentive the whole time, and even took him to a vet appointment and picked him up for the handover. My dog can be skittish with new people, but it was clear he felt completely comfortable with them and had a great time. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet care!
Melissa and Christopher were absolutely wonderful! They sent us lots of great videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. They were super sweet and kind, and it was clear Connelly was in great hands. He had such a great time staying with them. Highly recommend Melissa and Christopher to anyone looking for caring and attentive sitters!
Melissa & Christopher are the sweetest and both such thoughtful sitters. This is my second time booking with them and they are always updating me with plenty of pictures & videos of my dog, and my dog is always so happy and comfortable with them. I’ve used other services through Rover with other people and they are both by FAR my favorite, I always know my dog is safe, loved and in amazing care with them!! Thank you both again :)
Melissa & Chris were awesome! Right away Meatball was comfortable with them and that helped ease our minds during this stay. Communication was great and even though I had spotty reception where I was, they made sure to continuously keep me updated with photos and videos. We’ll definitely reach out to them again in the future. Thank you, both! 😊
Melissa & Christopher took such amazing care of my dog Kaiya! It was our first time using their services on Rover and they provided such exceptional care! They are very sweet and responsive, provided frequent updates, and sent plenty of pictures and videos of my dog. I can definitely tell my dog was safe, and very happy to stay with them and I would highly recommend their services to anyone. Thank you both so much again!

We have a small yard that is completely fenced up. We’ve taken care of small and medium size dogs in the backyard and never had a problem. The dogs are never outside unsupervised they spend most of their days with us inside.
A typical day
Walk around the neighborhood in the morning. Play in the yard in the afternoon and a walk in the evening. With lots of pets throughout the day.
