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.

Melissa was an excellent choice for a sitter! She provided frequent updates and sent us plenty of photos. We would not hesitate to book her again!

Molly always has the greatest time with Melissa and Bando and it's such a relief to leave her with somebody that we know is great with her and takes her for walks along the beach. It's just really nice to have that kind of peace of mind. Thank you again Melissa. You're amazing!

I received plenty of photos of my 12-year old dog, Ruckus, during his stay with Melissa. He was taken on a lots of walks and returned to me happy. I’ve already rebooked another stay for Ruckus with Melissa!

Easy peasy. I felt totally confident that Chauncey was in great loving care.
