Pet care experience

We’ll treat your pets like family

I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and know how to provide for their individual needs. I am a huge animal lover and have passed that animal caretaking tendency onto my sons. Our senior dog passed away this year and we adopted a new rescue named Reggie. He’s a good boy, not reactive and gets along with other animals. We’d love to spend time with your pets!

Melissa and her son Conner were awesome! On time and tired my guys out perfectly. Gave me a much needed break to watch football...definitely wil be having her come again!

Melissa was great! She was very patient with my stubborn pup. She tired many different ways to make my dog feel comfortable. She showed up promptly everyday and sent me updates. Definitely worth another booking!

One of the better dog sitters we’ve had. Melissa was very considerate and mindful of our concerns and needs.

Boarding • Sep 12, 2026

Melissa was amazing! Our pups came home very happy :) She sent regular photo updates, and we could tell they were having a wonderful time. Her dog, Reggie, was an absolute sweetheart too. We felt so comfortable knowing our pups were in such good hands. Highly recommend Melissa!

Melissa and her boys are so intentional when caring for animals. They have watched my dogs many times and they always go above and beyond in making sure they feel at home. One of my little guys has special needs and takes medicine daily and I always feel comfortable in leaving him in Melissa’s care.

Schedule

I work from home so I am available to do drop-ins during the day or evenings. Any time a drop in is scheduled outside of school hours my 9 year old son will accompany me to get experience caring for different animals (under my supervision). We are also open to boarding pets at our home! So, we welcome any animals that will enjoy having four boys under the age of 12 around to play with them (under my direct supervision).

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Melissa can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Please make me aware of any special needs and or medication that will need to be administered. I’d like to meet pets ahead of boarding or doggy day care to ensure they will thrive in my care!
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.
