Pet care experience

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.

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!

As usual, they do such an excellent job taking care of my dogs. They LOVE staying here and I love it too because I know they’re safe, loved, and cozy in the backyard.
