I will care for your pets with the same quality, timeliness, and love that I do for my own fur babies in my own home. I hold myself to a high standard of service.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

I can handle Pit Bulls to Pekingese! Please tell me what your dog likes, and if they do better on any special routines. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Also if they tend to slip their lead, escape a yard, etc. Anything I need to know for their safety.

A typical day

I love to run in the yard with dogs and play tug with toys if they like! Walking on pretty paths and ensuring they get their exercise is important to me. Tired dogs are happy dogs! With cats, playtime and treats are fun! Petting and brushing if they allow is great too.

Pet care experience

SPECIALTIES: Dog Care, Cat Care. I love pets! I have a 12yo Terrier Mix named Gia who earned her AKC Good Citizen Certificate and 2 maine coon cats. My pets are my family, and I will care for yours like my family, too! I've been a pet owner all of my life and know how important it is to have a responsible and caring person to care for your pets when you're away. I'm responsible, timely, and follow your instructions. I also take lots of pics!! I'm experienced with dog training and know the patience it takes to lovingly care for your pets...That's ME! Training my dog Gia helped me understand how to handle dogs and help them understand your expectations without force or rude behavior. One day I just might open my own dog training business... but until then, I will be happy to love and care for your furry family members like my own!

Melissa was amazing!! I could tell she really cared for my cat, and she took the cutest pictures every day. I felt good leaving my baby in her hands! It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous, but she made it really easy 😻

Melissa was a joy to work with. She immediately bonded with my Max cat which is not easy to do ( he was a feral kitten ) and I can tell by the photos she sent he had a great time interacting. We're back in Myrtle Beach after 12 years, so glad we could find someone like this who lets me leave for work without worrying about Max's well being. Thankful for Rover as well for coordinating.

All 3 cats clearly got the attention they needed. Photos showed cats are responsive to her and enjoyed her presence. On our meet and greet I felt comfortable and confident in her knowledge. I was able to enjoy my trip without a worry.

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.
