“My dogs are very afraid of new people. It’s very hard to get them outside but I know Lisa worked very hard at getting them to go out and do their business. She was very patient and gentle with them. We will use her services again.”
About: We are a family of animal lovers! Our home is located on 1.5 acres, with a large securely fenced backyard allowing for plenty of supervised play. We have one small pup in our home that enjoys other small pups, and an outdoor/indoor cat that enjoys other pups but also knows when to keep her distance or stay hidden. We also have a 6 year old daughter that absolutely adores all animals, and a baby girl! Growing up, my husband and I both always had animals in our home. I was also always spending my free time walking neighborhood pups, as well as house sitting for both cats and dogs. Now in adulthood, my husband and I have both adopted several dogs into our family while also caring for dogs, cats, and horses of friends and family. We have experience with all ages, including senior animals that require extra care such as medication administration and mobility considerations. We also have experience caring for pups with intervertebral disc disease, arthritis, anxiety, heart disease, and bladder issues. We look forward to helping your family care for your fur babies! We can ensure your pet will feel part of our family while you’re away, with all the cuddles, playtime, and love! Of note- with young children in our home, we can only accept pups who have either been boarded in the past and tolerate new environments well or who have frequent exposure to young children in their own home with no signs of aggression. We appreciate your understanding and would love to set up a meet and greet when possible prior to booking! My husband and I both work remotely from home, ensuring someone is home each and every day to provide care in our home daily. We can provide frequent play and bathroom breaks and are happy to have your pup snuggled up beside us while we work. We are happy to learn your pet’s routine to help ensure they are their most comfortable . We are also happy to provide playtime, cuddle time, extra love and care.

“I am SO THANKFUL that Melanie was our first experience with ROVER. She loved our animals like her own. She is just a genuine, thru and thru animal lover.

She takes care of them better than we do and they absolutely fell in love with almost instantly. We are so appreciative for you, Melanie!”

Lindsay & Chris F.
“Lindsay’s heart for animals is what makes her such an amazing pet caregiver. She loves all pets as if they were her own and she cares deeply about their health and happiness. One of my favorite memories of Lindsay involves her bringing home a dog she had found wandering the street of her neighborhood- she was on her way back to work so she was stretched for time, but the only thing that mattered was getting the lost fur baby home! Your fit babies are in good hands with Lindsay.”

Whelchel pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lynette B. I am so very happy with the care you gave my 3 babies Dudley, Dixie and Dilbert. I had never used a dog sitter had always with much heart break had to leave them at the Vet. When I would return they were always so anxious and nervous and not at all happy for days after. You made such a difference with the love and attention you gave them at home. All the petting and the loving and treats thank you. When I got home they were happy to see me and so relaxed and calm. Thank you agin so very much from me and my babies.
