Pet care experience

Come join our pack!

I got my first dog, Gypsy, 12 years ago and have been in love ever since. A few years later, Gypsy had puppies and we kept one of her puppies. Taking care of puppies was a hard but fun experience and I would love to do it again! I'm very familiar with medicine administration and regiment. We have three dogs in the home extremely well-behaved. Im home during the day and love walks or play time. I have a true love of all dogs. I would love to take care of yours as if it is my own. I'm new to Rover but I'm not new to dog care.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 06, 2025

Missi was amazing! She took great care of my two dogs while I was at work. She was very communicative and responsive, keeping us posted with updates and videos throughout the day. She was considerate of our dogs’ needs and took time to make sure my anxious dog felt comfortable, and I felt at ease with them in her care. Can’t recommend her enough!

Melissa is the best!!! Romy loved her time at Melissa’s and it has been so wonderful knowing she is somewhere safe and happy while we can’t be with her. Thank you to Melissa for all of the sweet photos/videos and updates throughout the day.

Melissa did an amazing job puppy sitting our excitable puppy. She was very communicative and took great care of our boy. He had so much fun he barely wanted to come home.

Melissa was great! Her easy-going style was perfect for Ziggy, who needs a little time to settle in. Even after just one visit, I’d be comfortable leaving Ziggy for any length of time with her. Couldn’t be happier about his care!
