Pet care experience

Local, Loving Care for Cats & Dogs❤

I’ve been connecting with all types of pets since I was a child. As a detail oriented pet carer, I always prioritize safety. But my favorite part of the job is the fun, hugs and satisfaction I get from treating your fur babies like they’re my own.

Melissa was absolutely wonderful, and I am so thankful we found her! She completely eased my anxieties about leaving my two senior, high maintenance dogs for the weekend. It was obvious from the start that she is a true dog person. She followed all of my instructions, communicated clearly, and kept me updated with pictures throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She was patient, attentive, and more than capable of handling my senior boys and all of their quirks. I truly hope Melissa is willing to watch my pups again in the future because I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter!

Melissa is great with animals of all kinds! She constantly looks after dogs and cats. Hers as well as neighborhood cats and dogs, and making sure to help others catch their runaways! She is always concerned about how animals are treated 😀!

Melissa is a fantastic pet sitter. For reference she watched our 130 lb Akita while we were away on vacation. She knew how to make sure he was calm and comfortable. She is very good with both cats and dogs. You can tell that she is an animal lover and will do her very best to make sure they are happy and well cared for.

Please let me know how your dog walks on a leash and also of they have any special needs. Their safety is my number one concern .
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.
