Points forts
Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
Gentle care for your best friend.
As of January 2026, I have four years of experience as a dedicated Rover sitter and a lifetime of personal pet ownership. My background includes extensive hands-on experience through regular volunteering at the Taylor Animal Shelter and Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit in Dearborn. I am a lifelong animal lover who treats every guest with the same care as my own. My personal pack includes a 6-year-old Siberian Husky, a 2-year-old Pit Mix, and a 2-year-old Mini Aussie [1]. My dogs are well-socialized and friendly; while my Mini Aussie sometimes prefers a little space from larger breeds, they all generally coexist beautifully with new friends. My Home & Services: • Space: A large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for play. • Companionship: Your pet will have my three friendly dogs and my animal-loving 8-year-old to keep them company. • Safety & Customization: I am happy to accommodate crating needs or use a leash in the yard if that is your preference. • Philosophy: I understand that every animal has a unique personality. While not every pet hits it off immediately, I am committed to providing a patient, loving environment to ensure they feel at home. Availability (2026): • Monday – Friday: Available after 3:30 PM for walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. If I am boarding or doing in home sits please know I do work outside the home 7:30am to 3:30pm I do have a family member who lets them out if needed mid-day while I am at work. • Weekends: Fully open for all-day care, walks, and drop-ins. I look forward to treating your fur baby like a member of my own family!

Notes et avis
Great overall experience. Communication. Photos. Everything was great. I’m pretty sure she left the house cleaner than when she got there. Thank you again. Couldn’t recommend high enough.
Melissa is great and commuicates well. She takes great care of my boys.
Outstanding. Will be using again.
Melissa was great and took good care of our cat while we were gone. We will definitely book her again!
Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She communicated very well and sent photos throughout the course of her stay. We will definitely book again in the future!
Melissa is the absolute best! We were nervous with having someone stay with our older dog while we traveled for a week as we have never done that before but wow, we feel like we hit the jackpot. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful! Thank you Melissa SO SO much!!

Où votre animal séjournera
Caractéristiques du logement
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I have a huge fenced yard and three friendly dogs as well as an 8 year old to keep your fur-baby occupied. Lot of toys, water fun and a leash outside if needed. Inside my home i have baby gates to separate in case anyone needs a break, dog bed, toys and crates if needed. In home sittings I keep to the pet parents wishes of how they run things.
Animaux
Une journée type
A typical day for your pet is designed around their specific energy levels and personality, blending structured care with plenty of fun. A Typical Day (2026 Schedule) Morning (7:00 AM – 3:30 PM): While I am at work, your pet will enjoy a peaceful morning in a safe, familiar environment. For boarding guests, I try to keep things as the owner does at home. Mid-day they will get a potty & water break. Late Afternoon (After 3:30 PM): The real fun begins! I focus on physical exercise and potty breaks. We’ll spend time in the yard for supervised play or head out for a neighborhood walk. Evening: This is dedicated to "calm enrichment"—cuddles, grooming, and mental games to help everyone wind down for the night. Weekends: My schedule is wide open for "Doggy Day Out" style adventures, including longer walks, local park visits, and extended playtime. Fun Activities Your Pet Will Enjoy Backyard Enrichment: We make the most of my large fenced yard with games of fetch, frisbee, or even "bobbing for treats" in a kiddie pool on warm days. Mental Challenges: I use puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, and "hide-and-seek" with treats to keep their minds sharp and reduce anxiety. Social Play: Your pet will have built-in playmates with my Siberian Husky, Pit Mix, and Mini Aussie. I supervise all interactions to ensure every dog feels safe and happy. Cat-Specific Fun: For my feline guests, I focus on the "prey sequence"—using wand toys for stalking and pouncing before mealtime to satisfy their natural instincts. Special Touches: With owner permission, we love to end a great day with a "pup cup" or a specialized frozen treat.
