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.

Boarding • Aug 02, 2026

Melissa was outstanding. She is very responsive and was the perfect host for Vayu, he was taken for walks and ate well. Vayu came back refreshed and in a good mood, so he obviously enjoyed the stay. Vayu got along very well with Melissa's pet dog as well. Melissa also kept in touch during the stay and we were very comfortable and able to fully trust her. She even brought one of Vayu's toys that we forgot in her house. Overall a great person and pet care taker and very responsible. We would love to send Vayu back for another stay if schedules work out well.

Melissa was such a lovely pet sitter! Coco loved her! We were in Spain and it gave us a lot of peace of mind! Definitely would love to continue working with her 🌸

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!

I take care of my own dog, therefore taking care of another dog will be quite easy. I do frequent bathroom breaks and walks to help with energy.
