Your pup deserves a staycation

Pet care experience

All my life I've had a love for animals. Growing up with various dog breeds from a spunky yorkie to a cuddly mastiff, I adore them all. I started walking and boarding dogs professionally about 2 years ago to fill my schedule while in graduate school and haven't stopped since. On my first pet service platform I have a 4.99/5 service rating with over 220 services completed. Dog boarding, sitting, and walks included. Your doggie will be more than comfortable during their staycation. I have a spacious house with a good sized yard. We'll go on adventures and he/she will become the best of friends with my two loving lab mixes (1.5 and 3 years old). They are both rescues from the south and look forward to having visitors. It is important to note that during these uncertain times I have remained diligent, only leaving the house for essentials and always wearing a mask. I want pet owners relying on me to protect their dogs to feel secure in knowing that I am doing my part in regards to the ongoing epidemic.

Molly stayed with this owner for 6 days. Melissa never invited me into her house (odd) as other Rover sitters in the past have ALWAYS let me see their home and premises. We collected Molly earlier than contracted; once home, Molly started to retch a few times which continued for the following days. After 3 days of retching, I eventually took her to our Vet, who believes she caught kennel cough. Molly has NEVER had retching or kennel cough before this stay. Melissa is pleasant/polite but my dog put on 2 pounds at her place and I doubt she was walked much. Melissa only sent 3 photos during the week. Most other sitters sent photos daily. I would not recommend!

Melissa and Dexter are awesome! They have watched our slightly nervous but incredibly rambunctious puppy on two occasions (once for 13 days!). Cannoli is always happy to be there and fits right in with Axle and Tuner. We love the picture updates we get while we’re away. We will definitely keep using Melissa in the future!

Melissa is AMAZING — Harley has stayed with her multiple times and I always have peace of mind knowing she is safe and having a blast with Melissa’s pups. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Melissa took great care of our puppy, Potato during our spring break vacation. We loved receiving picture updates while we were away. He seemed to be very comfortable and having a lot of fun! Thank you ?

Information Melissa K. would like to know about your pet

Hate has no home here. I am open to all breeds. The only thing I ask of you is to let me know if your doggie is comfortable with other dogs. If your dog prefers to stay away from my two I have the ability to keep them separated within my home.

A typical day

In addition to my yard, two blocks away there is a open field that we can run around while maintaining a safe social distance from other humans and doggies. We can find a trail, go for a run, or just relax. Whatever your dog perfers.
