Passionate about caring and helping

Pet care experience

I am just an outgoing bubble person, I would treat your pet just like I treat my son. Loving, pay close attention, positive environment. I am someone who gives 200 percent. You would never have to worry and I like to take pics and send to my clients so they can see how there pet or pets are really doing. What I love about helping others is when they go away they truly have nothing to worry a bout. The only way you will know that is if you give me a try. I am over all a great person and you would never be disappointed. I jut have a heart and passion to help others. I will NEVER let you down and that is the truth.

Melissa was great! As a first time Rover user we were nervous, but she went above and beyond. She was on top of communication and provided lots of pictures throughout her stay. Our pets were happy and well cared for. Would def recommend and use her again in the future!

Very thankful to have met Melissa. I had a family emergency and felt nervous about leaving my babies home alone. Melissa helped bring me relief by not having to worry about my boys so much. She fed them and took them out so they were taken care of. She always communicated with me and worked with me as I was dealing with my Dad being sick and me having to go out of state. Thank you Melissa!! 🫶🏼

I currently work full-time, but if you are close to me, I can go back-and-forth to check on the dogs during the day. I will be at your house the entire night or at my home, which is an apartment the entire night on the weekends. I am home all the time except on Sundays. I do go to church.
