Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In Your Home (Drop-ins or Walks) I keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. Feeding and fresh water Walks and potty breaks Playtime and attention Medication administration if needed Litter box or yard cleanup Mail/packages brought in & lights adjusted (if requested) Photo updates so you know they’re happy Every pet has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust care to match — whether they want to play all day or just cuddle and relax. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

Melissa was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were out of the country for a week and were nervous leaving our puppy for the first time. Melissa took amazing care of her and sent photo updates all the time, which really put us at ease. Our dog loved playing with her dogs and it was nice that she had a separate area for just her in case she got overwhelmed and needed to relax. We will definitely book with her again in the future!

Melissa was a great dog sitter! I didn’t have to give her many instructions, yet she went above and beyond to care for my dog. She communicated well and sent many pictures. I would recommend her to anyone!

To give your pet the safest and most comfortable care possible, I gather a few details ahead of time so I can match their normal routine and avoid stress. Health & Safety Any medical conditions or injuries Medications (dose & schedule) Allergies or food sensitivities Vet contact information & emergency contact Vaccination status Spayed/neutered? Behavior & Personality Energy level (very active, moderate, relaxed) Temperament with strangers, kids, or other animals Separation anxiety or escape tendencies Fears (thunder, vacuum, crates, car rides, etc.) Any history of biting, guarding, or aggression Commands they know Daily Routine Feeding schedule & portion size Potty schedule and signals Sleeping habits (crate, bed, free roam) Favorite toys or comfort items Walk habits (puller, reactive, loves other dogs) Comfort Preferences Where they like to rest Things that calm them Things that overstimulate them Treat rules The more I know, the smoother their stay will be — my goal is for them to feel like they’re just on a fun vacation, not away from home.
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.
