Thank you Rover for allowing me the opportunity to talk about my experiences with Melissa. First, you should know that I am very particular about who takes care of my pets when i am not able. All of my pets have been rescued, (or they rescued me). I had a few disappointing experiences with pet sitters, until I met Melissa. We became great friends along the way, and Melissa moved in and became a part of our family. My pets took to Melissa easily. Melissa always showed great love, respect and responsibility, compassion and care to all of our pets, throughout the stages of their lives. Melissa was a pillar of strength to me and to the pets. Melissa is a strong person, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She will offer you & your fur babies everything that she possibly can. You and your fur babies will feel all the love we did. You will be safe and secure with Melissa. Melissa is always my first choice. But, unfortunately Melissa moved out of state & i still haven't found one person that i can trust to tend to my pets other than Melissa.

I couldn't be happier with the care Melissa provided for my dog, Pixie! From the moment I met her, I knew Pixie was in great hands. Melissa was attentive to all of Pixie's needs, ensuring she was well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention. I especially appreciated the updates she sent, which reassured me that Pixie was having a wonderful time. Melissa's dedication and genuine love for animals shine through in every aspect of her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Melissa has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my anxious dog, Max. Over the past two years, she has cared for Max numerous times, both for short stays and longer periods, and I couldn't be more grateful. Max isn't the easiest dog to handle due to his anxiety, but Melissa has a special way of making him feel calm and safe. She goes above and beyond, ensuring that he gets plenty of attention, playtime, and the routine he needs to stay happy and healthy. I always receive updates, photos, and videos, which give me peace of mind while I'm away. Knowing that Melissa is there for Max means the world to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring, and reliable pet sitter.
