Pet care experience

For me, dogs are better than people

Dogs have always had a big impact on my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a sweet 3-year-old dog who is part of my family. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I also train Jiu-Jitsu and am currently working toward my black belt, which reflects my discipline, responsibility, and commitment. I bring the same focus and care into looking after every pet as if they were my own.

Our babies had an absolutely amazing time staying with Melissa. She was attentive and made sure to provide the best level of care possible to our pups. We would love to have Melissa watch our dogs again in the future.

Melissa was great watching my 17 month old Great Dane! I was moving and she kept him for several hours extra to help me out

Schedule

Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I naturally make room for pet care in my day.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following each owner’s instructions closely and maintaining their normal routine. In the client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and any special care they need. I always respect the home, keep everything clean, and treat every pet with patience, attention, and love as if they were my own.

Pets

A typical day

I will take pets on walks, play fetch, use toys for stimulation, and give them attention and affection. I also enjoy mental games and activities that match each pet’s energy level to keep them happy and engaged.

Melissa can host up to 3 pets per night
Important things I like to know ahead of time include the pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, allergies, behavior around other animals or people, energy level, and any special instructions from the owner. This helps me provide safe, consistent, and personalized care.
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.
