Pet care experience

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).

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!!
