My kids do take part in sports, so I usually use their practices as outings for the pets I watch and take them along. If you are not comfortable witb this, please let me know.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

I prefer small to medium breed dogs, but am comfortable with pets of all sizes. I am happy to assist with specific needs that your animal may have such as administering medicine orally provided that written instructions are received.

A typical day

Pet cuddles have a special effect on people and have the ability to make anyone's day better. I love giving and receiving pet cuddles. I enjoy going for walks and playing ball, so your pet will be exercised. I will not allow your pet off a leash unless in my yard.

I'm so happy I went with Melissa! I looked at about 8 sitters before deciding on her and the searching was worth it. I went out of town for a few days and needed someone to watch my new 10 month old chiweenie puppy. Some sitters had big dogs and she's too little for that, and others had a tiny yard without much room for her to run around. Melissa however has a big house with room for her to run around and play with a nice backyard for her to run around and play outside too. Her kids are lovely and had a great time playing with her, especially her daughter ❤️ I would happily leave my baby here again

Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter. She took great care of our 10 week old puppy and taught him some new things as well. She kept us constantly updated on Ollie's day with pictures and videos. I high recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Melissa and her family were great with Brody. She checked in and sent pics twice a day, communicated very well, and put me at ease leaving my dog with them.

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.
