Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitively love all animals!
What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.
Ratings and reviews
She was amazing!!! Thank you so much for taking care of our baby!
Melissa loves animals and really relayed that love to both of my cats! She sent photos and updates each time she cared for them. I found this so refreshing and comforting knowing my babies were happy while I was away. I shall hire Melissa D. for all my time away from home. Thanks Melissa, you're the best!
Melissa was a fantastic cat sitter! She is a very caring individual who took very good care of our "baby", and was very kind, considerate and timely. She definitely has a great love of animals, and our cat was very well taken care of and loved. We would absolutely ask her to care for our cat in the future!
I love Melissa! She loves her dogs and every animal she comes across...very sweet! I would definitely let her pet sit my babies! Definitely a good pick!
I can't recommend Melissa enough as a pet sitter! Her genuine love for animals is clear from the moment you meet her. Whether it's dogs, cats, or even the more exotic pets, Melissa treats every animal like her own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love. She is reliable, responsible, and always go the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone to care for your furry (or feathered!) family members, look no further—[Melissa Dotten is truly the best!
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to Rover. I have had the pleasure of knowing Melissa for the past several years, during which time I have witnessed her remarkable dedication to animal welfare. She dedicates time and energy to making sure the local animal shelter has clean bedding and towels on a weekly basis. She has also organized bake sales benefitting the local animal shelter. I am confident that she will thrive in an environment that nurtures her love for animals and do well at any job pertaining to them.

Schedule
I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible.
