Pet care experience

Dogs are our life, and our pack welcomes new dogs all the time! Jim and I have had a love for animals all of our lives, but living in apartments kinda prevented us from ever adding a pup to our family. In 2010, we moved into a house and our first little boy (Dawson) joined our family! Over the next few years, we adopted others (YaYa, Charlie, Chewy, Mitsy & Lillie). But we felt like we needed to do more. Early 2012, we started fostering small breed dogs for our local Humane Society. We cared for and found forever homes for almost 100 animals! During that time, we have done it all! We have taken care of dogs with skin issues, eye issues, epilepsy, giving medication in pill/liquid/inhaler form, aggressive, incontinent, tripods, recovery from countless surgeries. You name it, we most likely have experience with it. We received compliments all the time from the families that adopted our foster dogs. We have several past foster dogs that we still babysit when their owners go away on vacation. Then someone told us about DogVacay... We have been with DogVacay (now Rover) since Dec 2015 and absolutely love it! Every pup has their own personality (like lil' humans). And even though we are not old enough to have grand-children, we like to think of them as our grand-pups. (OH, we have two grandkids now, 2021) We get to love and spoil them while they are here! Then they get to go home when Mom & Dad come pick them up and look forward to the next time they come to visit us :) We would love to open our home to your babies! We promise to love and care for them just as they were our own! -Melissa and Jim

Jim and Melissa are just amazing, loving, caring people who love animals like family members. This was Izzy's very first time being away from home and staying with anyone except our immediate family. Now, Jim and Melissa are a part of Izzy's family. It was obvious Izzy had excellent loving care. We are truly grateful to have found Melissa and Jim! Thank you so much! Rick and Petie

I appreciate the extended hours for taking care of Rocco. All of the pictures showed how comfortable and relaxed he was.

Melissa and Jim were great with Rocco. They sent pictures my way and we’re so accommodating with my last minute request! You can tell they are dog people the way their home is set up. Thank you both ??
