New to Rover? Use code MELISM93936 for $20 off. I work from home and have a mini goldendoodle who loves playtime. We love dogs at our house and treat them like part of the family. I know how hard it is to leave your pet in someone else's care and I work hard to make them happy and comfortable. We take regular walks (if you want) and play in our large fenced-in yard. I usually only take dogs from one family at a time but there may be instances of overlap so please just ask if that is something that you need. I have small and large crates so you don’t need to haul your own. If I leave the house I will put the dogs in crates for their own safety but otherwise they won’t be used unless your dog prefers sleeping in one. Please bring food and instructions for feeding, treats if they have them, any comfort items like beds, blankets or toys and any medicine they might need. I have a 13 and 12 year old who love dogs - cuddling and playing fetch. So your dog must be friendly with children. Only fully vaccinated dogs please (exceptions can be made for puppies).

Ratings and reviews
Melissa took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent me updates daily which made me smile. I could tell he was well cared for and having a lot of fun.

Melissa took amazing care of Joey for us!! It was our first time using Rover and she made it a great experience. She provided us with plenty of updates and pictures every day. It made it so much easier on us and we knew he was in great hands. We can’t recommend her enough!!

Melissa and her family are the absolute best. Bella loves spending time there and hanging with Jazz! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pup while we’re away!
Melissa is an amazing sitter! Super attentive, great communication, and our dog was happy and clearly well loved. Highly recommend!

Melissa and her family are absolutely amazing! Roo always has a wonderful time there and we know she’s being spoiled.

Melissa was absolutely great with our two pups! We had never left them with anyone before and she continued to send us pictures and updates! The experience was excellent!

Schedule
I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. There is plenty of time for walks and playtime. Then the dogs usually sleep in my office while I work. For daycare, I am usually available for drop off after 6 AM and pick up by 5:00 PM. Just send me a note with specific days/times and I can always check my schedule to see if it will work.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who loves to play. I have a young goldendoodle so the house is puppy friendly. I have one small and 3 large kennels available if you don't want to transport your own, as well as a playpen. I also have AirTags that I can add to your dog’s collar for an added sense of security.
