Happy to share my home with you.

Pet care experience

Hola! Hello! I’m Melissa. I would love to look after your companion while you're away! Caring for pups is my top priority. Your pup can happily, freely run and roam around the house at their leisure. I have toys, treats and lots of blankets to keep them warm and comfortable. You are more than welcome to bring their own personal items. It definitely helps them get comfortable having things from home with them. All doggies are allowed on the sofa and bed if they so choose to jump on the highest of the high. I do offer baths for the little stinkers in case they’re extra stinky. I love taking the pups on long walks and stopping by the dog park (if the weather permits). They usually go wild and release all they’re energy. Once we get back home they just plop down, relax and nap. :) I am available throughout the week. I always have my phone near me so I will be very easy to reach. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. We are a fully vaccinated household and take safety precautions against COVID-19. Masks, soap and hand sanitizer at the ready. 💗

Melissa was awesome! It was my first time using Rover and leaving Milo with someone other than family and she made the experience so easy and smooth. She answered all my questions beforehand and sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. She took great care of Milo and I will definitely be booking her again!

Melissa is absolutely wonderful. She sent pictures and kept us informed about how Meli was doing the whole time we were gone. Meli loves her so much! We are so happy we found her.

Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet

-Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or sensitive to any type of dog food/treats. -Any behavioral issues.

A typical day

There are many parks nearby & also many quiet streets in my neighborhood. There is also a nearby baseball field and a dog park we can visit. I always bring a few tennis balls or handballs with me to keep your pup motivated. I like to stop by a pet shop only a few blocks away from the park where we can get some snacks and sniff around. And if we don’t want to go too far we have an un-fenced yard which we can also use for fetch or tug-of-war.
