Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Melissa! I have been living in Philadelphia for the past 8 years. I have always had a love for animals growing up around dogs, cats, horses, bunny's and more. Most recently was looking for an opportunity to get out of the house, do something active and give back to the community and that's why I signed up on Rover! I have a car, a membership on Indigo City Bike and love to walk so can get around everywhere! I am excited to join the app and will be priding myself on quick response times, sending multiple cute photos of your pet, give detailed updates and always provide a quality experience for your pets. I am looking to build a strong reputation for repeat customers and ultimately looking for long term opportunities and also be able to provide emergency services when you need someone day of! I have experience caring for golden retrievers, labs, bulldogs, German Shepard, dachshund, German shorthair pointer, corgi, Yorkshire terrier, cavalier, boxer, Australian Shepard, Bernese mountain dog, bichon fries, American staffy and more. Please let me know if additional tasks are needed while your away like taking in the mail or watering the plants!

Reviews

Melissa boarded our dog and we were so happy with her care again! Lucy was clearly very well cared for, we received lots of pictures and Melissa was extremely accommodating, flexible and communicative! Her home is also really great: very clean and a great little outdoor space Thank you again, Melissa!

Melissa is so great! Very reliable, took great care of our dog, so friendly, all great! Will be working with her again!

Melissa was absolutely amazing with our dog Reggie! It was the first time we left him and she was amazing about sending pics and updates! I couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she took of our puppy

Bruce loves Melissa and we do too! Grateful to have someone in the neighborhood who we trust and who takes good care of Bruce!
