Ready to be your pup's new bff

Pet care experience

I've had dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments and loved them like the people they think they are. Growing up, we had a Sheltie and an American Bull Dog mix and I currently have a Bull Terrier/Cattle Dog Mix named Gus. We have a decent sized yard with plenty of shade and toys to play with, plus indoor space and doggie beds. Gus and I are avid hikers and will happily add your pup to the pack. If your doggo is skiddish around bigger dogs or other dogs, Gus has his own space he can go play in so that your pup can have an anxiety-free stay. I have a flexible work schedule so I am home for much of the day and will make extra time if your pup is staying with us, as needed.

Melissa is an excellent dog care-giver. She loves her own dog so powerful and adorably, and she would extend that love to any pet in her care. I've known her for over a decade, and know that she has cared for many pets in her life. She is responsible and kind, and would be an excellent choice for a dog-sitter!

Melissa would make a great dog sitter for Rover. She is extremely reliable and responsible. She has watched my dog many times. She has a dog that she rescued, and has researched the right ways to care for him and train him effectively. I know she will be a pro with putting on any harness or any special training instructions because she has gone through it herself. When she says she will be somewhere, she is! She has a huge heart and will give all the pups much love.
