Pet care experience
I recently moved back to Richmond from Austin, Texas, where I spent almost every weekend caring for pups. I have house-sat dogs ranging from 10lbs-120lbs, ones with special dietary needs and disabilities. I adhere to your dog’s schedule for walks, exercise and feeding. I can only watch your pets in your home due to my apartment restrictions, but they get to stay comfortably in their familiar surroundings. I not only care for your pet, but your home as well. Cats are also welcome! I work remotely so your companion will always have someone with them throughout the day. In my free time I enjoy bike rides, hiking or discovering a new watering hole. Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you and your pup soon!

Melissa did a great job caring for our pets while we were away. She kept us up to date frequently and everyone was clearly well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!
Melissa did a great job! Our pups were well-cared for and we were able to go on vacation without worry!
Consistently amazing with our pups!!!
We have tried many Rover sitters and Melissa is the best!! She stayed with 3 of our 4 pups last July (one was recovering from surgery at the pet hospital) and did a tremendous job in challenging circumstances - it was a long stay (10 days) and all 3 dogs required multiple medications. Our smallest dog actually had an issue with her eye while we were gone and Melissa took her to the vet and started her on daily doses of eye ointment. More recently, Melissa stayed with all 4 dogs while we toured colleges with our daughter in Florida. We had just had a terrible experience with another sitter over Thanksgiving and were a bit gun shy, but we felt comfortable because of our past experience with Melissa and she once again took great care of our pets. She not only spent the night with them, but spent large parts of the day with them as well. She sent pictures multiple times a day. And she came over to give our dogs their evening meal on the day we arrived home as our flight didn't get in until after their normal feeding time. We came home to 4 very happy dogs and a very clean home. In short, I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough. You will not be disappointed!
