Stay-cation for your dog!

Pet care experience

It will be a staycation for your dog(s) while you're away! I grew up around gentle giants like the Bullmastiff; I have experience with many large breeds and love working with them. I also have experience with cocker spaniels and smaller breed dogs, so I am capable to adapt to any situation. I've trained service dogs and have advanced dog handling abilities. I cared for 13 dogs for a month, while also training them under the eye of a head trainer. I have a passion for dogs and love caring for every type of dog, big or small, active or lazy! I have some experience with senior dogs and special needs dogs, but I'm quick to pick up any specialized needs for your pet! I am also more than willing/able to administer injections for any dog who needs them in there daily routine. I am also a cat lover and great at caring for cats! I can get even the shyest of kitties to come out for a cuddle. I am open to learn anything and do anything to make sure your pet is safe and happy while you are away.

Melissa was AMAZING. I cannot rave enough about her. My dog got sick right before I was to leave for the holidays and I couldn’t cancel my trip home, so after interviewing many sitters, I chose Melissa and I’m so glad I did. She took such great care of my dog when she was sick and having accidents regularly. She treated her with the kindness and care she needed. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in to see how she was doing. I highly recommend Melissa to all Rover users.

I hired Melissa for daily drop-in visits with my cat Chloe while I was on a trip out of town. She followed all instructions and regularly communicated with me with messages and photos throughout. My cat is really shy and doesn't usually like strangers, but Melissa was able to get her to come out for cuddles! I would absolutely recommend her.

Melissa stayed at our house multiple time over the course of a year to watch our 2 dogs - she was outstanding every time! Super nice and accommodating. I highly recommend Melissa.

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

Before pet sitting any animal, I like to know how old they are, the breed, and what their personality is like. I need to know if they have any special needs and if so what are they, along with if they receive medication as well. I will pet sit any size dog, but I do have a great love and knowledge of Mastiffs and Great Danes. I also have a strong love for pitbulls, and have no problem pet sitting your pitbull.

A typical day

I’d love to take your pup(s) on walks around the neighborhood (unless he or she has restrictions of course). We would enjoy a nice run around outside and play ball or tug of war, maybe even some frisbee. Inside we will snuggle up on the couch (only if mom or dad allows it) or dog bed, and watch animal planet/even break out the dog bones to chew on. Anything to make you and your pups happy during their stay.
