Melissa has adopted multiple fur babies through our rescue and from me as a foster parent. I have watched as she has nursed shut down abused and neglected dogs into loving companions that get to enjoy the best life with her. I would trust any animal to her loving care.

Schedule

I work from my home which affords me the luxury of being with your pet(s) all day every day. I have small dogs and understand the need for frequent potty breaks. I also have experience with senior dogs and am happy to accommodate giving meds on a schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure large fenced in yard suitable for small dogs. I have small dogs myself ranging between 7 pounds and 20 pounds, my girls are very friendly with other dogs. I have a very flexible daily routine since I’m home all day with them and I do have a calm, child, free environment.

I provide boarding services for dogs 25 pounds and less so I would need to know the weight of the dog, any special needs or behavior issues that the Pet may have, any medical concerns or medical issues. I would also need to know if your dog is house/potty trained to potty outside or on a pee pad, do you crate your pet before leaving the house or is it OK /non-destructive if it’s left out in the house while you’re gone, does it sleep in a crate or in your bed and is it dog friendly. I also would like confirmation that the dog is current on all vaccines.
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.
