Pet care experience

Specialized in House/Dog Sitting

I am a huge lover of all animals and have had several pets growing up, but mostly dogs. I have taken care of my childhood dog (black lab) for 10 years which included walking, feeding, grooming, playing, and socializing with other humans/animals. Also, I have taken care of multiple friend’s dogs while they were away from home. Usually, when my friends go on vacation I'm the first person they call to provide my services. I have been told by others that I have a calm demeanor which pairs well with all animals. While you’re away your furry friend will be well loved in the comfort of your home and will continue to stay on their normal schedule or routine as I can accommodate most! I do have a full time job that is hybrid. I go into the office Monday mornings and Tuesday afternoons and home from Wednesday-Friday. I am able to work at owners homes if they have a work from home set up for me. I care for my clients pets in their homes where they are most comfortable and fulfill all the duties I am given for each unique dog. I will make sure they receive the normal care they are used to getting from their owners.

Malissa was so calm and kind upon meeting her and I knew my dog and cat would be in good hands based on her demeanor. She constantly sent updates and pics which I appreciated while I was away and missing them. I am grateful for her taking care of my fur babies!

Malissa was absolutely WONDERFUL! My little feral cat has NEVER snuggled with a sitter on the first visit, but Malissa had the magic energy and my boy felt safe enough to snuggle! Both my boys were very happy upon our return, she sent lots of photos, and my heart was so at ease knowing my kids were well taken care of! Thank you Malissa!

Malissa is a wonderful sitter and we always know Ernie is in great hands when we leave him with her. She’s kind, attentive, and sends fun updates. We highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my clients pets in their homes with given instructions for each animal. They will receive the normal care they are usually given by their owners.

A typical day

While caring for your dog we will take walks in your neighborhood. The fun activities we would do together include running around outside, playing fetch in the park or backyard, and relaxing either watching TV or having laptop time.

Before sitting a dog, I would prefer to see the profile complete with photos and care information so it is easier to understand what kind of booking it will be ahead of time. I would like to know the personality of the dog and how well they do with other people or animals. I do not have any breed preferences as I love all animals equally.
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.
