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.

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.

I highly recommend Melissa! This is my first time using the Rover service for Carhartt, my golden retriever. He’s a high energy puppy that needs attention. Melissa is the one I trust to stop by, take him out for a quick walk, and enjoy a few minutes with him giving him love and treats. I’ve noticed a change in his energy, eating habits and bathroom (all wicked positive). The photos and Rover cards truly give you the insight on how the visits are going. Melissa is friendly, caring, punctual and communicative. Again, I highly recommend Melissa to be the person who stops by and loves on your pup.
