Rescued baby dove, what do I do?

Please bring her to a wildlife rehabilitator. It could be illegal to care for it yourself, and please understand that it is by far in the best interests of the bird to let a professional take care of it. There are a myriad of ways people can make innocent mistakes that wind up killing the bird. Even with the best intentions many (most?) do not survive an amateur’s rehabilitation. No offense! The dove does not like being handled because at this stage in its life it is nearly weaned, and has been with its parents for 95% of that process. It is too late to imprint this bird if you wanted it as a pet.

And yes, mites in the house could be an issue. Not a good idea generally to take any wild birds into the house.

Another point is that this dove is in the fledgling stage where they might have left the nest but the parents should still be attending to it. I understand your circumstances of rescue with many predators nearby, but oftentimes these flegeling birds simply need to be left alone or at most moved to a safer location that is still outside.
