Melisa came by my house everyday for 12 days to check on my kitty. I appreciated the daily report card and photos. I never felt anxious and knew my cat was in good hands! I will definitely use her again! Don't hesitate to give her a try.

Malisa is great. She sends lots of pictures so I know my baby is being cared for. Thanks so much, Melisa. See you again!

Melisa is great. She accommodated us when we had to cut out trip short. My fur baby was so happy and well adjusted when we got home. I will def use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a residential home with one other adult and offer a safe, pet-friendly environment, including a fully fenced backyard. Crates and dog beds are also available, if needed.

A typical day

Mental Stimulation: Use treat puzzles, play hide-and-seek with toys, or practice basic training commands. • Physical Exercise: Play fetch or tug-of-war, set up an indoor obstacle course, or let dogs run in the yard. • Outdoor Fun: Try backyard sniffing games, water play, or outdoor training sessions. • For Cats: Use laser toys, window perches, cardboard box mazes, or try clicker training.

Depending on the breed and age of each animal I can make sure they get the proper care and exercise needed. I am very patient and willing to learn and adjust. I have a lot of experience, administrating medicines to animals.
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.
