I like to have a conversation with the owners. They get to tell me what the needs of their pet is. I do my best to ensure that their pets receive a high level of care. The goal is to make everyone happy.

Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet

What does their typical day look like? Are they accustomed to getting walked, taken out, or fed at certain times? What do they love and anything they dislike?

A typical day

I like to spend lots of time outside with walks or playing fetch. Additionally I will do whatever is right for your pet. The goal is to give to keep their schedule the same as if their owners/pawrentd were there.

Pet care experience

Hello! My first job was at a veterinary clinic. Since then I have been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family. I have done everything from overnights, extended stays, and drop ins. I have even cared for up to dogs at one time. I take pride in making sure your furry pals are well taken care of while you are away.

I’m not from here, so finding someone I could truly trust with my dogs was a huge deal. From day one, Melissa gave me complete peace of mind. I knew my dogs were loved, safe, and cared for like they’re her own, which makes being away so much easier. Having someone I trust this much is priceless, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Melissa did an amazing job watching my dog and cat, she sent me lots of pictures and they were all of my pets comfortable and at ease with her. I found my home in better shape than I left it and my animals were obviously loved and well cared for. Will absolutely hire her again!

Melissa did a great job taking care of our dog for two nights! She sent us updates and was very communicative.

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.
