Pet care experience

Cuddle loving sitter!

I have pet sat for 8 years now and have experience with dogs, cats, horses and pocket pets. I love all types of breeds and enjoy cuddles and kisses. I love taking care of cats and have fostered many kittens. I’m active in community and would love to take your pet for rides and engage in errands. I also have riding experience if you own horses. I can also be available to feed, pasture and muck stalls. I look forward to meeting you and your babies. I like to follow your pets known routines to help provide stability while your away. Will kennel as needed - only if your pet requires this.

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure outside areas are secure for dogs to potty and play. When sitting for new pets I make sure to earn trust with love and positive reinforcement.

Melissa did a great job with our 2 girls. They seemed very happy with her. They can be a handful sometimes. We greatly appreciate her being able to watch them at the last min. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Melissa!!

Melissa was such a phenomenal dog and house sitter. I just moved to the area and was hesitant on leaving my babies with a sitter but upon meeting my whole stress level was relieved. She is very communicative and definitely treated my dogs like they were her own— to include allowing me to book with here with in 48hours of my trip! I will rebook in the future, she is definitely incredible!

Schedule

I work full time hours at the airport and typically work an 8.5 hour shift. If your dog needs frequent potty breaks there will be a need for someone like a neighbor to pop in. I’ll be available to feed and potty before work, after work and night time potty. I’ll make sure to follow your routine.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Melissa can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know personality. No breed specifications. I have two cats that are a little skittish with active dogs so I would need to sit in your house instead and just visit with my cats as needed during the day.
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.
