Melissa was great! So sweet with our pup and he was sad to see her leave when we came home. Would absolutely book again and recommend!

Melissa was amazing! Our cat has been really picky with food and Melissa went out of her way to try different options to make sure she ate. When we came home, we honestly think our cat was disappointed it was us and not Melissa, lol. The house was in beautiful shape, and we never once felt nervous about being away from home. THANK YOU!!

Melissa watches my cat and fish for us every time We go away. She’s extremely trustworthy and does a great job. Every time we call or text her to check in she is available to speak and send pictures of our cat happy and cuddling. Melissa has been our house sitter for years.

Melissa was an amazing cat and house sitter for us. I knew that our cat (Evie) was well taken care of and loved, she was happy and in a good mood when we returned from our trip! Melissa sent us pictures of Evie throughout the duration of our trip and Was available every time we checked in with her. We trust Melissa to cat and house sit for us whenever we go away. She is reliable, trust worthy and sweet. A true animal lover!

Schedule

I am stepping down to part time at my current job so that I can make more time for sitting/walking! My schedule will therefore be much more flexible.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Melissa can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical issues, medications to be given, limitations, etc. I am comfortable giving oral medication as well as injections (insulin for example).
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.
