Pet care experience

"Playing with dogs enlightens me"

We recently moved to Amsterdam from Minneapolis, USA. I am a dog lover for sure. Today I have an 8 month Yorkie who loves playing with other puppies. I enjoy teaching her new tricks and taking her for walks for her to explore the world. Would love to take care of another dog as it would make me and my puppy happy.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 30, 2026

Melissa did an amazing job with my Charlie! She has him over for daycare for two days while we were visiting Amsterdam, and on both occasions Charlie came home very tired and very happy! The second morning he was super excited to go back and spend the day with her. Melissa’s little Nala is also absolutely adorable and she and Charlie got on really well and played a lot together! I received very thorough updates via the Rover Cards. Communication was also great with prompt replies. Absolutely excellent service throughout! Thank you!

Having lived with Melissa for 2 years, I have been able to experience her love and care for dogs. We did not have one of our own, but she used to go over to the neighbours house as they had a dog, and would dog sit for them when they were on holidays. She is a loving person, both to humans and to their furry friends and I would highly recommend her expertise towards caring for dogs!

Looking for a fun and responsible person to take care of your dog while you’re away? Melissa is one of the top people I know that will do everything in her power to make sure everyone is happy and gets their needs met - be it a four-legged or two-legged friend. She’s the kind of individual that is able to lead with confidence and love so that you can rest assured things will get done, thanks to her happy spirit and great organizational skills. She’ll probably out run your dog and reward their efforts with a yummy meal and lots of cuddles every time!
