I always put animals before myself

Pet care experience

I own 3 dogs and a ferret. I've owned them all since they were very young and two were puppies, so I've experienced the puppy stages, and love teaching them potty skills and tricks! My ferret, Molly, is almost 8 years of age and needs 2 different medications twice a day, so I am no stranger to administering medications to animals, and know the importance of giving it to them on time. I also work at a pharmacy that compounds many veterinary medicines. Please note that I do work Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:30pm, and can take hour lunch breaks if needed for check-ins. I truly love being a Rover sitter, and helping out animals and owners! Send me a request soon!

Melissa was wonderful! It was my first time leaving my puppy alone for an extended amount of time, and I am so glad I found Melissa! She sent pictures throughout, dealt with all of my crazy dog mom requests, and my pup loved his stay with her! I knew he would from our meet and greet she was really good with him, was attentive, and I could tell she was comfortable taking care of dogs which was a great sign for me. She kept my apartment spotless over the weekend and when I returned it was almost like I had never left. She communicated very well with me, and I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying too much about my little guy because I knew he was in good hands. 10/10 will be using her again!

This girl is fantastic! She is wonderful with our dogs, respectful of our home, and takes care of things as if they are her own. I can't imagine a more caring and competent person to care for our home and our dogs when we are away. She sends pictures and an occasional video to let us know our dogs are having fun without us. We have never been as comfortable being away from home as we are when Melissa is taking care of things.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds! I would just like to know if there's anything that startles them, and what I can do to prevent or assess that specific situation so they remain calm and feel comfortable around me.

A typical day

If you live by the River Bike/Walk trail, I love taking my dogs on walks there. Any nearby park, or dog park is just as suitable.
