Take care of what you love the most

ENG | ESP Hi, my name is Melissa. Since I can remember I live surrounded by pets. I have always thought that pets are a member of the family, that is why the care of our pets must be exceptional. They also need attention, going for a walk, playing and most importantly a lot of love. Hola, mi nombre es Melissa. Desde que tengo memoria he vivido rodeada de mascotas. Siempre he pensado que las mascotas son parte de la familia es por eso que el cuidado de ellas debe ser excepcional. Ellos también necesitan atención, salir a pasear, jugar y lo más importante mucho amor.

Koa really enjoys spending time with Melissa. Communication is great and we are regularly updated on how our dog is doing throughout her stay. Melissa will always be the first sitter I will reach out to for future pet care.

Melissa was great! Our dog felt at ease with her, and Melissa sent pictures throughout the day to show how much fun our dog was having. Will definitely use her services going forward.

This was our first time using Rover and we’re so glad to have found Melissa! She took amazing care of our Harley and sent photos throughout the visit. We know Harley is already looking forward to the next visit!

Melissa was great with communication. Was sweet with my big dog and her dogs played well with my pup. She sent pictures, and I would use her again.

Schedule

I work from Monday to Friday. My current routine is taking my pets for a walk in the morning, to the park at noon, then to the park again after work, and a walk at night. On weekends, I dedicate the whole day to my pets. We go to Woof Town (a huge park in Imperial) or play in the local park with the other pets from the neighbors.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a private residence that has a dog park and a special track for walks. I try to go on at least two walks a day and visit the dog park daily.

Pets

A typical day

I really enjoy going to the dog park and playing with balls or frisbees with the pets. Several of my neighbors have very friendly pets with whom your pet will be able to interact and play! Night walks are my favorite part of the day. After the last walk, the pets are usually very relaxed and ready to go to sleep.

Details are very important to make the pet feel comfortable. It would help me a lot if you could share the routine, feeding times, if they like to play, any allergies or irritations... any important information!
