Looking to meet more furry friends!

Pet care experience

I am a 29 year-old living in Scarborough Me. I graduated from Northeastern with my bachelor's in psychology and I have my master’s degrees in Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis. I work with kids with developmental disabilities and I love my job! Rover is a great way for me to decompress after a work day and on my days off. I have been pet sitting for almost 2 decades- I have loved this hobby since I was a pre-teen! I am new pet parent to our 1 year old golden retriever, Summer. I am happy to bring her to play with your pet as socialization (she’s great with all dogs), or I can come solo!

We love having Melissa watch the dogs! She takes such good care of our babies while we are away.

Melissa took such good care of our 3 pups this weekend. She communicated with us throughout the weekend and sent pictures. Our babies were happy and safe upon our arrival. Would definitely recommend Melissa!

She was wonderful, my puppy kept looking at the door for her to come back.

Melissa was incredibly responsive, communicative and provided timely updates. We needed a sitter for our two kitties last minute and Melissa saved the trip. She was also so patient and caring with our newest member of the family who apparently took some visits to warm up to her. We look forward to utilizing Melissa’s services again!
