Pet care experience

Certified Star Sitter in Dog Care

Hello my name is Melissa! My boyfriend and I have two female dogs - a 6 year old rescue Boxer / Catahoula mix and a 11 year old half Basset Hound / half Pitbull. We would love the opportunity to hang out with other pups and for our sweet girls to make new friends. My options include boarding, drop-in visits, day care, and dog walking. My boyfriend, pups, and I enjoy meeting and playing with any dog we meet.

Melissa took GREAT care of our dog. She kept in touch and gave regular updates throughout the day which was very much appreciated. Even sent photos! I would highly recommend!

It was my first time using the Rover app and I was so happy I found Melissa to take care of my Midnight. It was for one night, but she kept me posted on how Midnight was doing. The sweetest thing that happened, when midnight would not eat his food, her boyfriend sat on the floor with him and he fed him from his hand. Now that's Love for your pet! Thank you, Melissa, for making sure I was at ease during the time away from my baby.

Melissa was incredible with my dog Ellie! She was warm, communicative, and clearly cared for Ellie like her own. I got great updates, and Ellie came home happy and relaxed. I’d absolutely book Melissa again — highly recommend!

Melissa has always taken such good care of our dogs! She sends frequent updates and photos and takes them to the dog park to play. We know our pups are in good hands when they are with Melissa and we’re so grateful!

Melissa is the best! She takes such great care of our pup and always is willing to meet us in the middle for drop offs and pick ups. She is also so consistent with updating us while we’re away we’re never worried :)
