Big fenced yard, flexible schedule

Pet care experience

I work from home and have a mini goldendoodle who loves playtime. I've cared for my own dogs my entire life. They are part of the family. I know how hard it is to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll love your dog like my own! We take regular walks (if you want) and play in our large fenced-in yard. I'm comfortable giving medicine, baths, and brushing doodles. 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 12 and 10 year old who love dogs - cuddling, playing fetch and even teaching them new tricks. Only fully vaccinated dogs please (exceptions can be made for puppies).

Melissa and her family were great pet sitters. She's very responsive and sent us lots of pictures and updates of our dog while we were gone. Communication was great, and I would recommend her.

This was our first time using Rover, and Melissa took great care of our pup. She sent plenty of pictures, made sure he was comfortable in a new place, and was very communicative throughout the entire stay. We will use Melissa again next time we need a sitter.
