Dog loving family!!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my entire life. I've helped friends and family with their dogs and even fostered for 3 years for special needs dogs. We have a nice fenced in backyard that they can run and play! The dogs are treated as our own when visiting!

This was our first time booking with Melissa and our dog would be there 9 days!! She was very welcoming and took great care of our dog. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos. Our dog got along great with her two dogs. I would highly recommend boarding with Melissa!!

She’s been the best! She really takes good care of my dog. My dog always comes home happy after being with her and their furbabies.

Melissa was a rock star! The day before we were supposed to drop our pup off for a week, he broke a dew claw. Not only did this not phase Melissa, she did an amazing job taking care of it while we were out of town! We got frequent updates, and she really treated him like her own. We've used Rover a few times before, but this was the first time we left him for so long, and the first time he seemed totally comfortable and happy with the sitter and home. In the future, Melissa will be my first, best, and only choice to pet sit!
