Compassionate, Patient and Reliable

Pet care experience

I love all kinds of animals and grew up with and cared for dogs, cats, fish and hamsters. I view them as sentient, soulful creatures that deserve our utmost care and devotion to ensure they live as happy of a life as their human counterparts.

Melissa was so sweet with my dog and he loved her. Felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands!

This was my first time using Rover and im so happy I found Melissa to take care of my pets! She is very nice, professional, and I loved the pictures and updated she would send me daily. She responds quickly and helped me enjoy my vacation stress free. Thank you Melissa, I hope to be able to work with you again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I always ensure that there are no open exits for pets to leave through unsupervised. Nothing gets left on the floor or on any easy-access spaces. I keep a neat and tidy environment as a personal preference that also benefits my pets or my clients' pets. I'm thorough when it comes to a pets' daily routine, following their eating schedule or taking the preferred walking route if there is one.

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any health concerns or allergies. I also prefer to know if your dogs are reactive to anything such as other dogs, small children, loud noises, etc. That way I can keep a watchful eye and help avoid any stressful situations.

A typical day

I'm an active person, so if your dog likes to run, I am more than happy to get some exercise in with your pet. If your dog prefers to meander and smell everything with each new step, I am perfectly fine matching their casual stroll. With dogs and cats alike, I'll play with them with whatever toys they enjoy.
