Pet care experience

Let me love your four legged friend

Hello. My name is Melissa. I have been an avid animal lover and owner all of my life. I currently own cats and a dog; and they love, tolerate, and play with each other constantly. So my home is a nice, clean, and pet friendly environment. The cats stay inside most of the time, but do go out occasionally. I am a responsible pet owner, all my animals (and even a few strays) have been neutered/spayed with their shots. I have experience in caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and some rodents. I have worked with many animals, and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for your pets. I would love the chance to get to know you and your dog/cat/animals...

Melissa was AMAZING! She took us even on such a short notice. We were in town for a softball tournament and couldn’t take our fur baby into the park with us. Melissa made Safari a gourmet dinner, and took him on walks!! She was great!

Melissa was very kind and caring with our cats. She made sure they always had food and fresh water, followed all of our instructions carefully, and was punctual for every visit.

Schedule

I adore my pets, they are my four legged children. My pet care regime helps keep me grounded by going on 3 daily walks, taking them to the dog park to socialize them(3 times a week). And I feed them twice a day, with treats or a big bone to knaw on in between. They are given flea and heartworm medicine monthly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Melissa can host up to 5 walks per day
Please let me know if your furry companion has any special needs, or behaviors that I need to be aware of, or watch out for.
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.
