Pet care experience

I already love your fur baby

Hello! I'm an animal-lover looking for a little part-time work doing one of my very favorite things - taking care of furry friends! I previously worked with Rover.com for about 4 years before taking a break to focus on my human-career. Now, I'm looking for opportunities to take care of your sweet doggies and kitties. I love bundling up for a nice walk in the snow, a rousing game of fetch, and snuggling up with furry friends when they miss their parents. I'm also a proud cat mom, and have experience with administering pet medicine (transdermal) and nail trimmings.

Safety, trust & environment

I take your faith in me to care for your babies very seriously. I will be communicative, give updates at the requested intervals, and keep you appraised of anything that might require your attention. I understand having a virtual stranger in your house can be a bit nerve wracking, so if there's anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable, please just let me know.

Thank you Melissa for taking such good care of both of our pups while we were away for the holidays. Thank you for sending photo updates daily and THANK YOU for giving Parker her special food and medication that popped up at literally the last minute. She is doing much better now than when we left. I would definitely use you again.

Melissa was easy to work with and good with our two pups. She was our dog/house sitter while we were gone for a weekend, and she kept us regularly updated on our dogs, so any worries about how they were doing were alleviated. We will definitely continue to work with Melissa when we travel!
