Pet care experience

Animal lover

As a SAHM and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet like family. I have an 11-year old Golden Retriever of my own so I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, loving companionship while you’re away, or your cat needs attentive care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Drop-In Visits • Aug 28, 2026

We were traveling to Mason in our motor home for the tennis open. We fiund Melissa on the Rover app and after a couple of text messages we set a time to meet and greet. Melissa was on time and one of the most personable sitters we have ever used. Our girl Sambuca was happy and took a liking to Melissa from the start. We felt very comfortable giving her access to our motor home and she was a God send for us knowing that Sambuca was well cared for. Melissa would walk her for a hour and make sure she had plenty of water. We cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone in the Mason, OH area. Thank you again, the Kings

Melissa and her whole family including their own dog are amazing with Nina. They took a great care of Nina. She sent me pictures and videos and just kept me updated very frequently. They took Nina for walks and treated her like their own dog. They are the nicest people. Nina had a wonderful time there. I’ll definitely rebook with Melissa in the future!
