Pet care experience
I truly love all dogs, and you can feel confident knowing your pet will be in caring and capable hands with me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra support. Having cared for my own diabetic dog, I’m comfortable giving insulin, administering other shots or medications, and keeping pets on a consistent routine to support their health and happiness. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶🫶🏼
Reviews
Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.
This was our 1st time working with Melissa and she was very reliable. Was always on time or early for dropins and sent updates each time with pictures.
Melissa was just what we needed to cover our cat while we went on a trip! She was so sweet, kept us updated, and kept our kitty entertained while we were away! I would definitely recommend Melissa to any others looking for help with their pets!
Melissa was incredible. It was our first time having a housesitter and Melissa exceeded our expectations. We got multiple updates and photos each day without having to ask. Our house was immaculate and our puppy was happy. So grateful for Melissa!
