Friendly & Experienced Pet Sitter!!

Pet care experience

**I AM MOVING BACK TO THE MENIFEE/MURRIETA AREA, PLEASE MESSAGE FOR BOOKINGS!!** *DISCLAIMER: It is imperative for me to have a Meet and Greet with a first time client prior to a sitting. There needs to be enough time between the request being made and the actual start date of the walk/drop-in/sitting for a meeting to happen, so please make your requests in advance. Hello! I am a huge animal lover who also works in the veterinary field! I have been dog sitting since I was 18, and I have been with Rover for 5 years. I stopped pet sitting for a while (due to Covid, of course), but I am excited to get back into it during my free time! I wish to help those four-legged friends who need walking and check-ins when owners are away, or just a weekend house-sitting. Whatever responsibilities you wish for me to take care of while you're absent from your home, I'll do! (i.e. watering plants and checking the mail) I have cared for all dogs of all shapes and sizes, cats included! I am also available to care for exotic pets as well, should you have them (birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, etc.) Please let me know if you need an occasional/part-time sitter, I would love to help however I can! :)

Melissa was so great! She was communicative, sent pictures, and made me feel very comfortable while being far away from my dog. Her personality is great and I am positive my dog liked her!

Melissa has taken care of our fur babies on several occasions. She is amazing. We always know they are well cared for when she is there

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences whatsoever. I would like to know of any medical conditions prior to a sitting and any special accommodations that the dog may need.

A typical day

Firstly, I like to make sure both the owner and dog are comfortable. As the owner, whatever you say, goes. Anything you need for me to do to make sure you and your dog are comfortable under my care, let me know about it. Secondly, because I'm a traveling sitter and you allow me into your home, I want to make sure your home is well kept while you're away. Not only will I care for your dog, I will keep up with various household responsibilities. If you need your mail picked up or plants watered, let me know! Thirdly, your dog's needs are my number one priority. They'll be in good hands for sure! :)

I do currently have a full-time job, so I unfortunately will not be good fit for someone who is looking for a 24/7 sitter. I am available for walkings, check-ins/drop-offs, and short term house-sitting, should my schedule allow it.
