Pet care experience
When I was preparing for a 3-week trip out of the country, I realized how important it was to have a loving vacation home for my dog. Nothing against our traditional boarding kennel, but my dog is a rescue, and I couldn't bear to think of him in a kennel for 23 nights, thinking he'd lost his forever home. That's how I found resources like Rover, and once I knew how great it was for Watson to have other dogs, a couch, and the same caring humans each day, my and his stress were resolved. I've been fostering dogs for 3 years - from Pitties to Poms - and have had my Watson for a year and a half. Opening my home to new dogs is my expertise. I work from home, so the pups in my care have a lot of supervision. I especially love walking dogs, so I hope yours will want to join in! I believe strongly that all animals deserve a safe and loving home. Therefore, 50% of my pet sitting earnings will be donated to a local, Atlanta-based animal rescue group.
Reviews
Melissa was wonderful! Our dog, Huckleberry, had a fantastic stay with Melissa and Watson. He loved the calm, comfortable atmosphere of Melissa's home, the fun backyard and the adventures to the nearby park!

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
Watson loves dogs of all sizes. Our key criteria is that any guest must be respectful of Emma, our senior cat, and not be prone to chasing her.
A typical day
We have a 22-acre park literally in our backyard - we stroll through the back gate and are instantly on a couple miles of wooded trails along the Chattahoochee river. Within a 10-25 minute walk are dozens of great nature parks - Watson and my favorites are Sweetwater Creek State Park, Cascade Springs Nature Preserve, Kennesaw Mountain, and Heritage Park. Our fenced in backyard is great for playing catch, tug-of-war, and when its hot out, we pull out the sprinkler!
