Empathetic & Respectful 🐶🐱🐹🐸

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Melissa I'm 25-year-old full time psychology student. I have worked at Apple the past 5 years and I am now doing Rover full time furring school. I have had over 6 dogs and 4 cats in my lifetime with myself and family, from 8 weeks old- 16 years. I love animals, I am respectful, and I like to make sure people are as comfortable as they can be when leaving there fur babies. I have experience with administering injection medication and oral medication.

Melissa was amazing with our two cats and tripod dog. Sent pictures, gave updates, super sweet and is great at communicating! Will definitely have her watch our fur babies again! ❤️

Melissa is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. We have used her service on several occasions, the last one for a period of three weeks. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. Above all, Melissa is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request.

Melissa has been watching my two dogs for the past two years. I usually leave town last minute for a few days and he schedule has always been flexible and accommodating! She really knows how to give my senior dog the extra care that he needs. And I always know they are in good, safe hands when I’m out of town. 10/10 recommend! Bonus: she takes lots of photos and videos to keep me updated. (:

My two cats and one dog have a new friend. Melissa was very caring and affectionate with my pets. She has a very easy going manner that the animals pick up on. I can have a piece of mind for my pets while I’m out of town now. Melissa is truly a great pet sitter.
