Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Melissa and I am a work-from-home consultant. My family trains and breeds English Pointers as bird hunting dogs back home in northern Illinois so I've taken care of dogs my entire life. I started sitting with Rover in March of 2016 and it has been such an enjoyable experience. We have a friendly chocolate lab who is in her lazy lab era. She is obsessed with a ball and generally ignores other dogs if there’s a ball around to play with. On the weekends, I have taken some of the pups hiking, climbing, on long walks around the neighborhood, or to dog parks. If your pup is older or doesn't like being active, our home gets plenty of natural light and has a back porch for sunbathing. Thanks for checking out my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your doggo!
Reviews
Melissa was amazing! She watched our 4 year old and 5 month old dogs over the holiday weekend. She was so communicative, responsive, and kind. She gave us updates on our pups and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She also was very flexible, our puppy had an accident a few days before we left and needed medication/extra care while we were away. Melissa was thorough, making sure she was taken care of. We are so appreciative of Melissa’s care for our babies!
Melissa did a great job with our puppy while we were out on vacation. She was communicative and took great care of our pup. We would be glad to recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Melissa is an amazing pet sitter. We came to Nashville for our daughters college graduation. Our pup had a nasty allergic flare up and Melissa handled our pup with white glove service. It was wonderful to have the piece of mind being out of town and having such great care. Thank you!
Melissa took great care of my dog and was communicative and proactive. My dog came home happy and needing a nap because she had so much fun! 10/10 would recommend!

I live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood so there are plenty of sidewalks for safe walking that provides the option to stay away from other dogs.

Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your dog’s care schedule, any medications or quirks, and their activity level. I try to mimic their schedule and norms carefully as to not induce stress so please also bring any food, toys, and crate they may be used to in your own home.
A typical day
A typical day truly depends on what your dogs likes to do and what they do not like. I enjoy taking dogs to activities such as hiking, climbing, farmers markets or dining out and have also cared for dogs who just enjoy playing inside and sunbathing. Between the yard, porch, and the safe neighborhood, there’s a great experience to be had by all doggie visitors!
