Paws Down Best In Town

Pet care experience

Update: 8/19 *Currently looking for some dogs to take on runs in the early morning or early/mid afternoons or evenings)* Overnights are for 8 hours (ex: 9pm-5am OR 8pm-4am). This is for me to sleep over OR for 2 - 30 min drop-in visits. You choose. You’ll need to book drop-in visits separate for during the day. I’m mostly booked for overnight with a regular client, but don’t hesitate to ask* Need someone to love your pet(s) as much as you do while you’re away? Look no further! I’ll be your best friend’s new best friend. I’m flexible, honest, passionate about animals, and very reliable. I love animals, especially cats. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love dogs too. I’m told I’m an animal whisperer. I have been pet sitting for a family for 7.5 years now. I love it so much that I decided to join Rover. Besides pet sitting I also offer house sitting. I own my own cleaning business. I also work part time at Kwik Trip. I don’t have any dogs of my own, so would love to take yours for a run. I actually don’t have any pets of my own atm, so I would love to love on yours. 🥰 You won’t be disappointed! I look forward to making some new best friends.

I couldn’t imagine our life without Melissa!! She is amazing! We love how fast she responds to our booking requests, questions, etc. She has changed our life for the better. We love knowing our fur babies are in good hands while we are at work. It’s gives us a piece of mind knowing they are getting some attention from her rather than being home alone all day. Don’t hesitate to hire Melissa!! She is the best!

It was wonderful to be away from home and know that my dog was taken care of so well. Melissa was great about updating so I knew how the visits went. I would definitely recommend Melissa to others who are looking for peace of mind that their pets are being taken care of in their absence.

Melissa was wonderful. This was our first time using Rover and we definitely hit a home run. She made everything easy and our dogs loved her so much. Thank you Melissa for a great experience!!!

Melissa rules! Our dog is very sweet but is also a needy jumper. He loves hanging out with Melissa, and we've asked her to watch him multiple times in the past few months. She always sends really thorough updates and lots of pictures. We're so grateful and can't recommend her enough!

A typical day

I love being outside. I absolutely love exploring new places. I love to run, walk, hike and go on adventures. Having a dog with always makes it way more enjoyable. Plus it’s always nice to have good company. Also what doggo doesn’t like a good tug-a-war, belly rub or someone to play fetch with?! Lots of fun to be had. No matter where or what we do, we’ll always have a great time. Their adventure awaits! With cats being my favorite pet, I would love to come and cuddle and play with yours. I love photography, so you’ll always get cute updates of your fur baby. Please check out all my photos.
