Safety, trust & environment

All the pets I have ever had are spoiled and well taken care of. I will happily spoil yours too! I have a lot of energy and love to hand out.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

When I watch your pets, I want to know all the quirks that make them special. The more I know, the better I can provide for them. I really strive to make your pets as comfortable as they can be in your absence.

A typical day

I will walk them as much as they want. I will pet them longer than you would expect. I will play with them for hours. I will try my best to give your pet what they deserve while they are in my care.

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been dog sitting on and off since I was around 10 years old. I love dogs and I'm going to love your dog.

This was Melissa's second time taking care of Loki. Like last time, she was responsive with her communication, shared photos, and took wonderful care of our cat. When my husband and I suddenly realized that we'd make an error with the auto-feeder, Melissa was able to swoop in with another visit to make sure all was well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Melissa did an excellent job with our 6 (yes 6) pups! We have 4 Chihuahua's and 2 Chihuahua/Terrier mixes and she took excellent care of them with drop in visits. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. She was very caring and was even able to get our most timid pup to play.

We had a last-minute need for a cat sitter, and Melissa came to the rescue! She took great care of Loki, was timely with communication, and shared photos and notes from her visits.

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.
