Beloved Best Friend In Good Hands!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Melissa and I've been taking care of dogs for over a decade. I'm a very patient and passionate animal lover. I've taken dogs on their walks and have had to feed them and give them water. And pick up any messes around the house. I have also cared for puppies and did a lot of cleaning the cage and changing blankets. I made sure they got out and played around for a bit. I've watched senior dogs that needed oral medication so I was able to provide that for them. I am also a former animal volunteer but had to stop to focus on school. I would love to get back to volunteering at some point but for now, Rover is where my time is.

Melissa is always reliable and on time! She sends me pictures every visit of my kitties and I’m calm knowing they are in her care :)

Melissa did a great job. Dogs were happy and cared for. She even watered our flowers. She sent pics if the dogs with updates while we were gone . When we got home it was very much the way we left it . We and the dogs look forward to her next stay .
