Safety, trust & environment

I am conscientious in my clients houses. I follow all instructions, for food and meds, and can absolutely be trusted to take care of your pets while you’re away. I also send photos of the pets and give a run down of my visit, and let you know of any issues if needed.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

Walking places/ Preferences, treats they like, any special commands you use. Maybe certain boundaries- like not allowing strangers to walk up to them. Maybe a favorite toy they like.

A typical day

I like to first get to know the area and then we would explore more. Or if they have a favorite way to go. I follow a route for my own and nearby trails.

Pet care experience

I have had a small farm for about 5 years with chickens and ducks. I also have 3 dogs and 3 cats. I consider myself to be a good steward to all of my animals and their health and well- being is very important to me. I enjoy taking my dogs out on daily walks and lots of runs in our field. Your furry friends are always in good hands while I am visiting.

Wonderful! We feel so good about having “Auntie Melissa” taking care of our two cats while we are away. She is exceptional.

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.
