Pet care experience

I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I intentionally limit the number of dogs that I board (no more than 2 dogs at a time,) so that I can give each pet the attention it deserves. I pride myself on clear communication and I will keep you informed about your pet's care during our time together. I am willing to accommodate special feeding requests and other care details to ensure that your pet gets the best care possible while you are away. * We are aware of escape artists! We make sure to only enter and exit the home where there is a two-door barrier. * If your pup needs to be the only dog in my home during his/her boarding, I can accommodate such request for an additional $20 a night. (Schedule permitting.)

I'll be honest I'm too busy to leave reviews but my dog told me I had to. Melissa is our favorite! No disrespect to other rovers but hands down she is the best. So communicative, compassionate and thorough. We are grateful to have found her and my dog tells me he wants to go hang out with her even when I'm here. I'm like, bro I barely get to see you as it is. He's like well then give me a treat. So I do. You know what else I do? Book Melissa to watch my dog!

Melissa was great with both my dog and cat. They seemed to enjoy their check-ins with her 😊

* I do require a meet and greet before our first booking. It is important to me that I understand your pet's needs before I agree to sit him/her. *Please have a complete profile before contacting me. I should have an idea about your dog's behavior and health before setting up our meet and greet. * I am not able to board dogs that are aggressive to humans or other dogs. (I am not a dog trainer.). *Unfortunately, my current property management company has a breed restriction list. I personally love all dog breeds thus I am available to walk or house sit regardless of breed or size. * Dogs must be housebroken. * I can not take dogs that are prone to barking. (Out of respect to my neighbors.) * Your dog must be current with flea medications and vaccines. *Please alert me if your dog has any type of condition that could infect other dogs.
