Safety, trust & environment

Communicate safety rules with owners prior to pet sitting, and making sure I know where everything is located, such as, food, leash, vet phone, medications. Whether or not your baby is sensitive to certain things like being touched or picked up, if they prefer calm energy or high energy. I also communicate the whole time with pet parents to reassure that their baby is in good hands and happy. Please include emergency contacts. I always leave the key hidden where it was found, in the event that there is an emergency. I haven't had this occur, but it's a good precaution

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is being administered medications, the location of food, treats, baggies to scoop any poo, emergency numbers, vet information. Let me know if they have a schedule for feedings and walks. If they take medications, there will be an additional fee for administering (10 per administration), which can be adjusted when booking details are being sorted out!

A typical day

I will give lots of snuggles, tell them how loved they are, and I will even sing songs for your babies. I love going out (or hanging inside), playing and taking a ton of photos and videos

Pet care experience

I love animals and giving thwm so many snuggles. I have taken care of 4 dogs at once for three days. Two who are sisters, and very energetic puppies. I have that high energy, but know how to be neutral too. I'll send photo and video updates...except of the ones where I am singing and dancing to my own music, which are songs about your pet. What can I say? Feeling inspired!

I felt so comfortable leaving my 5 pets in Melissa's care! I got lots of wonderful photos and came back home to a happy crew! Glad to have found someone so kind and reliable!

Melissa was wonderful with our nervous rescue pup. She took the time to get to know her at a pace that made our dog feel comfortable and safe. Melissa followed all of our instructions perfectly and left our home looking immaculate. When our flight home was unexpectedly canceled, Melissa went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for until we made it back. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was there. I think our dog has found a new best friend!

I love that Melissa loves my cats! She takes such good care of them that I never have to worry about them when I’m gone.

Melissa was so attentive to my cats and their many different beds. She really took the time to get to know them and let their personalities shine through. Excellent sitter!

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.
