Come play with Obie & Gretta!

Pet care experience

I have my own business as well as work as a private tutor for kids for a living, and pretty much live for my dogs. I have a plenty of space inside and a 1/2 acre yard outside to run around in--and of course tons of toys and attention for your pup. Both dogs are great at bringing other dogs out of their shell if they are shy. They are playful and sweet and love play time! I know a lot about dog behavior and body language, and will ALWAYS makes sure your dog feels comfortable and safe with us. I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs whenever I can, and I have experience with dogs that aren't perfectly happy or healthy and know ways to help them to trust me and feel safe. Obie, Gretta and I would love to meet you and your dog :).

I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! Melissa is so kind and loving and cared for our dog Posey in the same way she cares for her own two dogs. She took extra time and care to make sure she was safe, well-fed, and happy. She held her and slept with her and sent just the right amount of check-in messages to let us know she was well cared for. Melissa's demeanor and personality gave us a ton of confidence and security...we knew she was kind and authentic the moment we met her and our dog, who is normally shy/reserved, absolutely loved her! Melissa's home is lovely and has a huge yard for dogs to run and play...and her two dogs are as sweet/kind as she is! Melissa and her two pups were the ideal place for our dog to stay while we were away...she had playmates, a wonderful home and yard, and all of the love and care we'd hoped for!

Mel is our new go to dogsitter. She took care in getting to know our dog before we boarded him with her. Throughout the stay, Mel updated us and sent photos. We picked up our dog at the end of his stay, and it was clear that he was very happy and well cared for.

I can’t say enough good things about Melissa and Obie. They were so amazing! They took amazing care of Ruggles. Ruggles has previously tried the big doggie daycares, he would refuse to go in the building and didn’t enjoy his time there, which is weird for him. So this time I wanted to try rover and I’m so happy I found Melissa. Ruggles couldn’t wait to see her in the morning. She was very easy to communicate with and very responsive!

Melissa is super sweet and takes extra special care of our pup. We love that Bella gets to hang out with Melissa’s pup Obie on walks too. Highly recommend :)
