Safety, trust & environment

I would love your dog as if they were my own. They would get exciting walks and meet new friends! I WFH so your pets would have attention and cuddles throughout the day. For everyone's safety, your pup would never be off leash in public and if they are crate trained I would crate them if I needed to leave them home and/or while we are sleeping.

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

Everyone's safety is paramount, so I would love to meet you and your fuzzy family in person to discuss their likes and dislikes. I would also need to have their vet info and a local emergency contact.

A typical day

Daily walks (am, noon, after dinner) where we can meet well-behaved canine friends. I also like to visit the park and people watch. On the weekends we would go to street fairs, farmers markets, and local and regional parks. Or, if your pup is more of a homebody, we can just play fetch indoors!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
