Highlights
Pet care experience
The Pup-arazzi
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!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will always follow the client's instructions and respect your home, sticking to a schedule, and being aware of specific notes about the home or animal. I am very familiar with the surrounding areas so know the roads, trails, parks in the area. I will always be mindful of other animals in the streets while walking yours. Let me know if there’s unique requests you have for your furry friend! I have a fenced in backyard and a security system at my house with cameras. I have optimal space at my home for pets to feel comfortable walking around. I have lived in Philly for 8 years so know the surrounding area very well.
Ratings and reviews
Melissa is great and we are so lucky to have her as our weekly dog walker for our boy Bruce! He is still a puppy (large puppy) so he is a handful but she is great and always communicates well!
Thanks for always taking the best care of Penny!
Always takes great care of our pup! 🤍
We’ve booked Melissa for dog walking three times now and she is the best! I can tell our pup has a good time with her and that she’s well taken care of. Thank you again!
A fantastic help!!!
Melissa was great with our pup, made sure she got everything she needed during the visit, and left making sure she was cozy in her bed. We will be booking with her again 😊
