Highlights
Pet care experience
I can't wait to meet your dog!
Dogs have always been one of my favorite parts of life. I got my first puppy when I was 6, my first (supervised) dogsitting job at age 9, started regularly pet sitting in 2011, and joined Rover in 2018. I have experience with all life stages of dogs and cats, multiple pet households, pets with special needs, resource guarding, and dogs of many breeds and all sizes.

I will not bring guests into your home, animal or human. If there will be anyone else in the home during a walk or drop-in, please let me know ahead of time, for my own peace of mind and security purposes.
Ratings and reviews
Melissa is great! She fit us into her schedule and was a reliable caretaker for our dog, who is reactive and needs patience and TLC — Melissa had ample supplies of both. Melissa gave us peace of mind and fulfilled all of our expectations: in addition to walking our dog and providing comfort and play time, she was also kind enough to bring in the occasional package or turn on the air conditioner for our dog in case we forgot. She is wonderful and we would recommend her to anyone in need of someone who is reliable and takes initiative.
My dog is normally afraid to go out with anyone but he trusted Melissa enough to go with her. He didnt need much persuation.He always comes back with a smile.
Melissa B. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.

Schedule
When housesitting, I will be staying overnight in your home with your pets, and spending the majority of the time booked with your pets in your home. I generally do need to leave for at least a few hours each day, whether that is to walk other clients or go home and offer additional care to my own pets, so I would like to know how comfortable you are with your pet having some alone time and how long that should be for your pet. My maximum time away from any housesit would be six hours, but some dogs have different needs and I can adjust this on a case-by-case basis.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldMelissa can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I would like to know if your dog has any allergies or dietary restrictions, any behavioral issues to look out for, and of course any medical conditions your dog may have, especially if your dog needs medication. I have loved every dog I've cared for, from Shih Tzus and Dachshunds to Labs and Boxers, but I do have a special fondness for bully breeds, senior dogs, and rescues!
