WFH family, fenced yard & walks

I'm Missy and I live in Brookside with my husband and two kids (10 and 8). Our dog, Buster (14 years old) passed away in December and we're not quite ready for new dog for ourselves - but would love to watch yours! Our kids absolutely adore all dogs and would play, pet and snuggle to their hearts content. My husband and I both work from home and would be able to take your dog on multiple walks and breaks. We also have a fully fenced in back yard. We look forward to meeting you and your dog!

Groucho loved hanging out at Missy’s house! He got loads of attention and was one happy pup at pick up. Will definitely use again!

We needed a sitter for the day to site-see in KC. Melissa was great. She was efficient, friendly, and and very kind to our pup.

Clementine loves staying with Melissa and her family. They do such a great job with her and are great communicators. They are my first choice for doggie daycare!

Melissa and her kids were great. Felt so comfortable leaving town knowing Tucker was in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in back yard and we will take frequent walks. We do not allow pets on the furniture, so please bring a bed and/or blankets. If we leave the house, the dogs will either be kenneled or put in a room with a baby gate.

A typical day

We typically go on 2-3 walks a day around the neighborhood. I have a box of dog toys that we may play with. My kiddos LOVE to play fetch, snuggle and play with all the dogs we see.

I would like to know the eating schedule and how the dog lets you know they need a break - what are the signs to look for. Understanding bedtime situation if boarding (in crate, needs nighttime breaks, typical sleep/wake time they are used to).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
