Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Key details I need to know: your dog's feeding and sleep schedule, their environment, leash behavior. Are they crate trained? What are their sleeping arrangements? How do they react when left alone for a short time?

My day starts early, letting the dogs out and ensuring all their needs are met before I begin work. Since I work from home, I can easily take time throughout the day to care for and attend to pets.

Pet care experience

I understand how important it is to provide attentive, compassionate care, especially for dogs with special needs. My focus is in caring for dogs who are nervous being away from home or struggle with separation anxiety. My calm, quiet environment is free from children, cats, or small animals as it provides a peaceful space where your pup can relax and feel safe. This makes it an ideal retreat for dogs who thrive away from the chaos of busy households. As someone who lovingly cared for a dog that needed daily medication, I’m experienced and comfortable administering meds and providing the extra attention dogs with special needs often require. I work from home full-time, so your dog will receive consistent care, comfort, and supervision throughout their stay. Because I only host one dog family at a time, your pup will get the personalized, one-on-one care they deserve. A meet and greet is required before the stay to ensure it’s a good fit for both your dog and my home. Please be sure to fill out your dog's profile with a picture and list details on the profile so that I may have a better understanding of your dog prior to the meet and greet. I’d love to learn more about your pup and how I can help make their time away from home as stress-free as possible. I would love to meet your furry friend. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

We are very reluctant to leave our little rescue, Sweetpea, with anyone. She is very timid and was very traumatized when we got her. Melissa was wonderful with her. Actually she spoiled her more than we do! She sent us pictures and updated us every day, sometimes twice. We would not hesitate to use her again (and she told us she would keep her again).

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.
