Pet care experience

Rovers #1 Dog Sitter 🐾🐕

I offer full-time, in-home dog sitting and boarding in a calm, loving environment near the beach. Dogs stay in my home, where their comfort and safety are my top priority. My space is fully set up for dogs of all sizes, with plenty of toys, cozy beds, and dedicated areas for rest and play. Each dog receives personalized care, attention, and a relaxed home atmosphere—never cages or overcrowding. For owners needing extended stays, I also offer free pick-up and drop-off, making longer bookings easy and stress-free. Whether your dog is here for a short visit or a longer stay, they’ll be treated like family.

As a first time nervous dog mom, I can tell you, I am so happy that I found Melissa! I immediately felt comfortable when I met her, and I was happy with the daily updates that I received during the 3 day stay that Cooper spent with her. Melissa is excellent, and I highly recommend her services. I will be using her again myself.
