We care for them like they are our own and how they are most comfortable. They can pick a bed for the night with a preferred human or a spot on the couch.

The fencing around the yard is a complete metal fence that is "pool" regulation height - slightly taller than a normal fence. There is approximately three inches between slates.

Information Melissa K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have any special needs we can accommodate or concerns. We can be active and busy or lazy and quite with lots of spaces in our house to accommodate.

A typical day

I love walks, throwing the ball in the back yard or just sitting around on the patio. We also like lounging and watching movies or visiting the neighbors for social dogs.

Big yard, dog door, work from home!

Pet care experience

Our family dog of 18 years recently passed away and our beautiful fenced in yard accessed by a dog door sits unused. Our whole family, including 14- and 11-year-old kids, miss having a furry someone to hang out with. We are all interested in whatever "hangout" may mean ranging from snuggling on the couch, throwing a ball to a great walk! Two spouses with at least one person, and often both, working from home.

Melissa was so patient with our new puppy who is scared of everything. Thanks for helping him take in the big world around him in a fun and safe way today!

Great stay - Melissa took excellent care of our boy including walks, playing and yard time. The updates and pictures she sent were lovely.

Melissa and family kept us constantly updated with our pup during her stay and were incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed and pivoted to doing a drop off. We cannot thank them enough for their care of her.

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.
