Dog lover/trainer/walker/caretaker

Pet care experience

I have owned and cared for small, medium and large dog breeds my whole life. From Yorkies to Pitbull mixes. I have also worked for Petco as a groomer for a period of time. I’m educated on how to properly take care of a variety of dog breeds.

Melissa, Is great with dogs. She worked with my 3 dogs, FannyMae, Freddy Mac, and Simba. Freddy is an 80 lb black flat haired retriever, Freddy was a mix of black lab and Beagle, at 60 lbs, and Simba is a chihuahua. Melissa worked with all 3 dogs very well. She was dependable and wonderfull and very helpful with my dogs. All of the dogs loved playing with her. She always had them under control.She always used great judgment and walked them safely.

Melissa is a wonderful caregiver for my two basset hounds Elvis and Priscilla. She always on time and pays extra attention to needs of my doggies. It’s nice be able to rely on her services when I have a hectic work schedule. She’s a trusted asset when it comes to helping me out with my dogs.

Melissa is a loving pet owner to her two pups named Rico & Romeo. While she has two of her own, it is evident that she loves pets when we walk as she stop to compliment the other pets. Melissa treats her own with care and love plus a little extra. I would totally recommend Melissa as a Rover pet caretaker!! She is awesome

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any fear or anxieties such as thunder, rain, small kids, large dogs, sirens, or any other unusual anxiety I should be aware of. Also let me know if your dog has any allergies to any specific treats or raw hide bones that way I know how to best take care of your fur baby! ?

A typical day

I will take your dogs for a 20-30min walk as long as it not really hot outside. If it’s really hot we can play with dog toys, play fetch with a ball, or I can just give you dog lots of ear scratches, tummy rubs, and affection. My little dogs will keep your dog entertained as well. They enjoy playing and giving affection too!
