Five star pet sitter

Pet care experience

My cousin had the most amazing dog ever, she was like my dog, and I would often care for her as they were an active family. She had diabetes and I had to administer insulin shots at every meal time as well as perform basic pet needs. She unfortunately passed away two years ago and I’m now on Rover to connect with other animals- I’m doing this because it doesn’t feel like work :). I will ensure that I read your instructions very carefully in what you need/ want me to do when caring for your best friend. I want them to have a good time as well as feel safe, and I am excited to earn their trust as well as yours.

Melissa is such a warm soul to be around. She adapts well to any circumstance given to her. My dog can be very picky with who she shows her belly too but with a few sniffs and treats given carefully, she warmed up to Melissa. Melissa never missed a meal to give my dog and made sure that my dog was given enough time to poop and pee when taken outside.

Melissa was attentive to instructions, sent pictures daily, and seemed genuinely interested in making our doggo comfortable staying with her! Would definitely book again with Melissa.

Melissa took care of my sweet old labrador dog ,Rosie, who she was struggling with diabetes and cancer. Melissa learned how to do the insulin injection like a pro after only one session. She was so gentle and compassionate with Rosie that my dog felt comfortable falling asleep in her lap. Melissa is so trustworthy that I allowed her to stay at my home with Rosie while I had to leave for a weekend. She updated me with pictures and what Rosie did for the day. I would not hesitate leaving any precious pets in Melissa's hands. She is responsible and I can't say enough about how wonderful she was with my Rosie.
