Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog, Calvin, that would love to come play with your dog during visits. However, he's also perfectly content in his car just watching the world go by if you prefer a dog free visit.

Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet

The pet's temperament, activity level, and dietary needs/restrictions? Are they on any medications, how are they administered? Have they been sick recently? What made them sick, are they still recovering? We can, of course, go over more details and special requirements at the time of care.

A typical day

I like to see what tricks your pet knows, maybe teach them a new one and play games. I like to pay attention to the pet and go off of how they're feeling. I understand all animals are different and their activity will be catered to their needs.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages/needs for over a decade. Even those with behavioral issues that tend to get less love. They're all precious and I treat them as I would my own. I just love them all so much!

Melissa is incredible with my Dog. She is very knowledgeable, and follows any guidance from me. I strongly recommend her services.

Melissa went above and beyond with my two cats. She was very attentive, thorough, and accommodating and even managed to win over my skittish/shy cat which doesn’t happen often!

I was so nervous about leaving Ethel with someone new, but Melissa was wonderful. She really pays attention, and cares about the animals in her charge, and the comfort of the owners. Five stars!

Melissa is amazing with my pup, and I trust her absolutely to make sure he is safe. Unlike how closely she pays attention to my dog and always lets me know if she suspects anything wrong. I strongly recommend her services. Thank you Melissa!!!!

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.
