Dedicated Dog & Cat Care Expert

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Melissa! What sets me apart is my deep lifelong passion for animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from their very first days all the way through their golden years. On top of that, we’ve had horses for over 20 years and many outdoor cats too! I’m very comfortable giving medications, shots, and, of course, providing lots of love and attention. Taking care of pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Right now, I have a super flexible schedule since I’m not working outside the home, which means I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available anytime and happy to fit into your pet’s normal routine. I live on a 10 1/2-acre property, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, explore, and just be themselves.

Melissa was absolutely amazing with our little kitten. She even taught us a bit about our cat with us being first time cat owners. She was super friendly and nice and honestly has amazing skills taking care of animals and is awesome with working around your schedule. She is one of the best sitters I have ever met and worked with.

Would like to have known that there were FIVE dogs staying at Melissa’s place while my cat that is antagonistic with dogs was there. I had to have someone pick him up early and only found out about the FIVE dogs from my friend.

Melissa is such a GEM of a Rover provider!! She went so far above and beyond when caring for our pack of three that I’m simply in AWE of how much she did. She watched our dogs at our house and cleaned my fridge; watered my garden; fed our birds and weeded!!! WOW!! She also sent us a ton of videos, pics and updates of our dogs.

Melissa went above and beyond to help out with my sweet dog Nina and my kitten Stacy! I felt comfortable with Melissa and could tell she was a pure and loving soul upon meeting her. I brought my son on a mini vacation for his birthday and the ease of mind knowing my pets were being well taken care of made the trip peaceful. Thank you Melissa!
