My pets are an integral part of my daily routine. We get up, do walks, breakfast and meds first thing. I have a dog on insulin so we get those injections done right after meals. Throughout the day we do more walks, play with toys, and of course, there are naps galore!

I care for your pets like I care for mine: lots of love, walks with lots of sniffing opportunities and toys aplenty! I try to stick to their usual routines and schedule as much as possible.

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

For a first meeting, I think it is best to meet your pets in their home with you present so you can show them we are friends. I can learn their routine, their meds and meals and you can get to know me too.

A typical day

We play with toys, run around the yard and chase balls, go for walks, and pick out some favorite treats. :-). There are naps and cuddles and even wrestling if your dog is into that. Ha!

My Kids Have Paws!!

Pet care experience

As a dog mom for more than 20 years, I love having all kinds of dogs in my life. I will care for your pets like I care for mine: lots of love, walks with lots of sniffing opportunities and toys aplenty! I can care for dogs ranging in size from tiny Yorkies to big Mastiffs and in age from 4 weeks to over 20 years! I have over 15 years experience with cats and am familiar with the special needs of exotic pets like rats, fish, lizards and birds too. I clean litter boxes, cages, and even aquariums. Please feel free to contact me for drop-ins or pet sitting in your home. I also do home services like mail/paper pickup, vacuuming, etc to look after the house too.

I met Melissa in January when my girl had CCL surgery. She is super sweet, thoughtful and great with my high maintenance pups. She is careful to seek all the information and ask questions so she can understand your pets needs. Super fabulous

Wonderful sitter! Followed all care instructions carefully, maintained my dog’s schedule, and communicated consistently throughout the stay. My dog appeared well cared for and relaxed when I returned. My home was alsoleft in excellent condition. I would gladly book again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
