Pet care experience

Furry friends are my best friends!

I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. We have always had dogs in our home, and we currently have five furry friends living with us. Neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers have all relied on me to give the best care to their best friends. I walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs of all kinds and sizes. I would love to do the same for you and your friend. I currently work full time in middle Georgia, but have time during the day to take a break, have time in the evenings, and have open weekends to care for your pet. In my own home, I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my own dogs to run and play. In your home, I would use the available area to make sure your dog is taken care of. I am willing to take pets on walks in the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as playtime in the dog’s home.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and high quality pet care are my main concerns. I will always use the available space to ensure both myself and your beloved pet remain safe. I am very experienced with leashed walks, both in public areas and private areas. I will always do my very best to ensure your pet is safe and stress free in whatever environment they prefer to be in.

House Sitting • März 05, 2023

10/10 would recommend. I am a Rover sitter myself, and I have had the same sitter for some time now, but Melissa filled in (somewhat last minute) when I needed and was excellent! She asked questions, kept me informed, left the house in great condition, and my pups were happy. She is very reasonably priced for an in-home stay, and she even filled in last minute when my friend’s sitter bailed two days before her wedding. She accommodated four pups and a goat between us. Thanks again, Melissa!

Melissa stayed at our house and kept our dog, Cookie. Everything went very smoothly and she was a very trustworthy person. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Dog Walking • Juni 10, 2022

Melissa is great! We have a rambunctious little guy that is very sweet. She was willing to come out and meet him with myself in order to get some familiarity and ensure she could handle him --- she did very well on our short walk. Our dog got along great with her and we are looking forward to continuing working with Melissa!

Melissa is amazing!!!! She has come to our rescue so many times especially since most of our travel plans have been at the very last minute. She’s very accommodating to our dogs needs and ours. Our dogs truly enjoy having Melissa around and I can honestly tell that she enjoys the company of them as well. We have had Melissa house sit a few times and do drop visits as well. It’s hard to find a good and honest person you can trust in your home, especially when it also comes to taking care of our fur babies and I’m glad we found Melissa. We love Melissa and we will vouch for her and recommend her services to everyone. You will be 100% satisfied and your fur babies will be very happy as well.

Melissa took such good care of my dogs. They are very particular but adored her. She followed the care instructions as planned. I will definitely be requesting her to take care of my dogs again.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or requests. I have taken care of several animals that require special diets, medications, etc. I will be happy to provide these for your pet as well.
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.
