Hey there 👋

Pet care experience

I’ve been with Rover for two years & having these pups in my home has been the best. I enjoy being outdoors, & time inside as well. My flexible schedule helps for any emergencies. Pets are free to be outdoors or indoors. There is a big fenced yard, with a room open for their needs. Cameras are around the home so if needed to be supervised that is possible. Any medications, schedules given wouldn’t be a problem. PSA : Before booking please note, this is my small business meaning I will more than likely have other pups in my home, if you are looking for your pup to be the only stay that would be nearly impossible due to many fur parents inquiring stay. I will tho make sure your pup will feel safe while under my care with other pups.

Melissa was great! Made sure our pup felt safe and spent extra time making sure he got what he needed! Will definitely use again!

Melissa did a great job! She was very organized in planning Ellie’s stay with us and asking the right questions prior to the dog boarding process. She also provided daily updates! This gave us tons of reassurance that she loves what she does and is dedicated to make our pups stay the best! I would definitely recommend!

Melissa was great with my hyper puppy! She provided me with daily pics, videos and updates of how my dog was doing. My dog has only been watched by one other person so I was nervous, but she made me feel very comfortable from start to finish. I would 100% recommend Melissa to take care of your pet :)

Clearly a dog living family! Took great care of Mario and let him enjoy their fenced in backyard.

Information Melissa V. would like to know about your pet

Any type or oral or administrative medication is needed, if they have a specific tick or things they do not enjoy possibly like a trigger. If the dog is on a schedule, or exact measurements. & overall whatever makes the dog happy examples if they like water, like to go on walks etc.

A typical day

Usually I love for animals to be familiar with my home, I’ll let them smell & go through the whole home, then make a room for them where all there toys, or things they enjoy playing with are available for he/she. The dog would have the entire back yard to run, jump & enjoy.
