I work from home and given that I used to have 3 big dogs, my house is well equipped to house furbabies. I have a large backyard and doggy door. They are welcome to come in and out as they please. I am close to Papago Park so would love to take your dog running if you’re comfortable letting me.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know about their feeding/walking schedule, any dietary restrictions, any aggressions or anxieties they have, and if they have a special toy they like to play with.

I enjoy running around Papago Park and around Tempe Town Lake. When we aren’t being active, cuddles on the couch are always welcomed. Big backyard for your dog to run around in.

Pet care experience

I like to travel so cannot have a full-time pet but would love to have some furry companions around when I can. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own. I do not have more than 2 households of pet at one time.

Melissa is one of my favorite sitters I’ve worked with. Traveled to Tempe for work and was accommodating to my schedule. Communicates quickly and is flexible if schedule changes. Highly recommend!!! 🐶

Melissa was great! She watched our boy Frank for a few hours while we were at a graduation. She communicated well and was very nice and flexible with the times. Will definitely be requesting her next time we are in town and need a 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.
