Pet care experience

Compassionate & Reliable Pet Nanny

I love animals and giving them so many snuggles. I have taken care of 5 pets 4 at once. I have experience sitting puppies (to of which I had at the same time who are siblings) 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 promise that your babies will be well taken care of an loved! Communication is key, and I am sure to keep every pet parent updated while they are away. Here is a list of miscellaneous services 10.00 per medication administration 20.00 per 10 mile travel. This is round-trip

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

We were lucky to have Melissa take care of our dog and hom during a short trip. She was excellent with communication and providing updates during her stay. She kept our dog active and was very focused on keeping a similar schedule for feeding, etc. Looking forward to working with her again in future.

Melissa was prompt. She was very interested in her job and my pets were comfortable with her care. I am pleased with her service and dedication to the pets and our needs. I would definitely use Melissa’s services in the future.

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!

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! If you have any other cute pets besides cats and dogs, I add a charge of 12 per night, per pet (such as birds, hamsters, ect)
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.
