Pet care experience

I’ve always been around animals, especially dogs. I have had 3 personal dogs for 6 years now and have gad the best experience while caring for them. I have worked at a pet store since 2018 and have gained lots of knowledge there. I am the go-to person In my family when it comes to dog related questions. I love to care for animals aside from my job.

Melissa did a great job taking care of our little dog, Taz. She sent pictures and updates regularly. He was happy and well cared for when we got home. Will definitely ask her to care for him again .

Our cat is very anxious and not easy to deal with, but Melissa put a lot of effort into building trust with him and making him feel comfortable while we were away. We really appreciate her patience, attention and care!

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.
