Pet care experience

I’ll love and take care of your dog

Hey! My name is Melissa :) I loveee dogs! They make me happy and I would love to spend time with them and play with them, while taking care of them. It is amazing for me to see and appreciate how smart they are and how much we can learn from them. I don’t have a pet at the moment so I think this is the best way to still be around dogs, cause they spread happiness. They teach me unconditionally love and loyalty. I’m pretty easy to work with as long as we communicate. I have been living in LA for 13 years, I have a safe car, so transportation is easy for me, and I also live in a big spacious house with a fenced yard for dogs to play around. And I do let them on the couch so we can cuddle and watch TV or take naps together :) it’s always their favorite thing besides playing in the yard while taking in some sun. My goal is for them to feel like they’re in their own home so I always ask the owner to please bring me their beds, toys and bowls. So that’s it smells like home.

Melissa was wonderful! She was very accommodating with my extended work schedule, which I especially appreciated since my booking was very last minute. She was flexible, reliable, and made the whole process stress-free. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands while I was at work. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.

This is my first time using Rover and I am very satisfied. Melissa was a fantastic and reliable sitter for my sick little Romeo. Melissa did everything as I requested and kept my dog comfortable by cuddling, which he loved. 🥰 Melissa picked up my dog and brought back to the hotel with short time change request which I appreciate very much! I highly recommend Melissa and Rover!

We are so incredibly grateful to have found Melissa! She took care of our dog during our wedding weekend and was absolutely amazing. From the moment we connected, she was kind, responsive, and so accommodating to our schedule and needs. She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We received regular updates and the sweetest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind during such a busy and emotional time. Knowing our dog was in such good hands made all the difference. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you

Melissa was an amazing! My dog was a bit anxious at first, but she handled it with so much care and patience. It didn’t take long before she was completely comfortable around her. Melissa kept me updated and made sure my dog felt safe and loved. I truly appreciate the time and effort she put in—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!

I do freelance work so my schedule is changing constantly. We can schedule according to your needs and my availability. Once I have confirmed my availability and accept to take care of your I do spend a lot more time at home. I’ll spend a lot of quality time cuddling, playing or walking your dog and making sure they’re okay and don’t need anything. And especially I’ll make sure they’re happy and having a good time.

Safety, trust & environment

I take care of them and make sure they always have water, that they don’t need to go outside and make sure they receive the love and attention they deserve.

A typical day

We’ll go on walks, we can go to a dog park near by, watch Tv, play catch, cuddle, and playing wrestling is always fun! Overall I make sure the dog receives all the attention is needs so they don’t get sad and start missing home or their owner. My goal is for them to feel like they’re in their own home so I always ask to the owner to please bring me their beds, toys and bowls. So that’s it smells like home.
