Here to help with your fur babies!!

Pet care experience

I've been a very active sitter/walker on Rover for the past 3 years with both dogs and cats! I also worked for a pet company for about a year walking dogs, dropping in to visit/let them out & overnight stays in the client’s home; as well as dropping in for cats. I’ve always grown up with animals & love both dogs and cats 😊

Melissa was amazing with my pups, a great communicator and provided me cute photos and updates while I was away - especially appreciated as one of my dogs can be pretty anxious! 10/10 would recommend!!!!!

Melissa was amazing!!! She was so great with the dogs, we had pictures and updates daily. I had zero anxiety after meeting with her. Right away I knew she would be perfect with the dogs at my house. I will definitely be having her back to stay again!!! ❤️??

Melissa was awesome! She sent us ots of updates and the house was in perfect order when we got home. She was so great with both pups and tok the time to come meet them before hand as one of our dogs is very high anxiety. Both pups loved her! Thank you Melissa! Karlan & Adam

Information Melissa J. would like to know about your pet

I love to hear as much as I can about your pet so I can make their time as enjoyable as possible while you’re gone! What they love (walks, toys, treats, etc), any routines they have, fun quirks & anything that makes them nervous. Each animal is different so it's really important to me that I know as much about your pal as I can!

A typical day

I love playing with animals, encouraging the "stop & sniff" as many times as the dog would like and I love finding new trails so I can switch up the walks if the dogs are comfortable with that! With that being said, I know some dogs have their specific, familiar routes so whatever they would rather :)

Availability

I have taken care of quite a few dogs & cats in their own home so I’m very aware of safety (other animals outside at night, pets trying to escape when the door opens, etc) - I’ve also had a few pets of my own so I know how stressful it can be to leave them at home while you're away. Because I know how important your pets are, I ask lots of questions at our meet & greet but I also encourage you to leave instructions for anything you might want me to know during my visit!
