Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me as much as you would like to about your animals. If there are any behavior issues, food allergies, or things I should be cautious about, (excessive licking, barking, stranger danger) the more I know, the more I can make sure your animal is safe, comfortable, healthy and happy while you're away and in my care.

A typical day

I love to play and love on dogs and cats with activities that are suitable for them. I have experience from the puppy stage to the senior stage and will play as much as they need. Cats on the other hand love my lap, back scratches and sense of cautioned play.

Pet care experience

I am passionate about caring for animals. Whatever your furbaby loves; I'll make sure they get to do it when they are with me! Whether it's cuddling on the couch or frisbee in your yard, smelling every blade of grass or laying in the sun. We will enjoy our time and I will send you tons of pictures of our time together.

Our fur children were spoiled rotten, which they deserve, with the loving care of Melissa. We enjoyed and appreciated the daily update and photos. Highly recommend her for anyone who truly cares about their four-legged family members.

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.
