As a college student, I have plenty of breaks and free time throughout the day to focus on your pet’s needs. I’m also studying pre-vet, so caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Your pup will get lots of attention, consistency, and care built right into my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I love walking dogs and have a lot of patience for different temperaments, so I’m comfortable working with shy, energetic, or strong-willed pups. When I’m hired for dog walking, I make sure your dog gets a safe, structured walk with plenty of sniff time, exercise, and positive attention. For drop-ins or house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible—feeding on schedule, giving medications if needed, sticking to their usual potty times, and offering lots of play, cuddles, and reassurance. I also keep your home clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved the whole time you’re gone.

Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know a few things before caring for a pet so I can give them the best experience. This includes their daily routine, any medical needs, feeding instructions, and how they do on walks or around other animals. I also ask about their favorite activities, quirks, and anything that might make them anxious or uncomfortable. Knowing these things ahead of time helps me keep your pet safe, happy, and stress-free.

A typical day

When I’m with your pets, they’re never bored. I love taking dogs on walks where they can sniff, explore, and get their energy out. If they enjoy fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys, I’m all in. For pets that prefer a calmer vibe, I’m happy to sit with them, give gentle pets, or just keep them company so they feel safe and relaxed. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality, age, and energy level so they have fun and stay comfortable.

Happy Pets, Stress-Free Care

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs and all kinds of animals since I was little, so I’m confident handling pets with different needs and personalities. I have experience giving medications, supporting both puppies and senior pets, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ve also helped my mom with her Rover clients, so I’m already familiar with providing reliable, loving, and professional pet care. Your pets will always be treated like family.
