Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to chat before any services booked! I would like to know if your pets need any special care, dietary restrictions, medical needs and different quirks/mannerisms that will help me give your pup the best experience while you’re away!

A typical day

I like to take my dog on long walks, hikes and lots of supervised play time (outdoors and indoors). I love going on walks around the neighborhood so I can plan a special one for your pup!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Melissa! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have my own Goldendoodle Bentley, who’s 6. We love beach days, long walks, and hanging out with friends. Since my last review in 2023, I took a bit of a break but I’m excited to be taking on new clients again. I’ve continued caring for dogs in my life whenever friends and family are out of town, and I can’t wait to meet your pup!

Melissa did an amazing job dog & house sitting for us. She treated our pup like her own with plenty of walks, play-time and cuddles. She was also quick to communicate, reliably on-time and left our house spotless upon our return. We would highly recommend Melissa and we will definitely book her again!

Melissa was fantastic with my large strong breed baby! She stayed the night twice, took careful care, kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dog on vacation. I’m already booking her again for a drop in this week. Thanks Melissa!

First time using Melissa for an overnight stay - she was great! Our puppy took to her right away during the meet and great and seemed to have a great time with her while we were away. I'm very particular about who I have watch Franklin but I would definitely use Melissa for next time! Thank you Melissa!!!

Melissa was amazing! She was in contact with us multiple times each day we were gone and I could tell our girls were having a blast with her. She followed our instructions, was very proactive if anything came up, and left our house looking better than when she arrived. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!

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.
