Safety, trust & environment

Ingles es mi primer lengua pero puedo communicar en espanol tambien! I have many references from external sites just new to Rover jobs. The best situation is one where in addition to us chatting over expectations, you've written everything down on paper to reference later as well; I'm really good at following instructions thoroughly.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

-breed -age -current potty schedule -current walking schedule -history of aggression with humans -history of aggression with other animals -a little about their temperament/personality

A typical day

I’m open to how you would like your pets to spend their day since all are different, but they will always feel the love and get respect.

Pet care experience

I've cared for various breeds of dogs and cats in different settings over the course of the last 10 years. I enjoy playing, walking, hiking, beaching, feeding, and snuggling with them. I also like to give animals their space based on personality; sometimes there is comfort just being in the same room doing our own things. I read a few books on training and personality when I was doing this as a main source of income years back. I am always on time and keep clients fully informed as requested. My goal is to take good care of your pet so that you can take care of your other priorities. I also have a great deal of experience housesitting as well as caring for humans.

Melissa was great and communicated the entire time. I would definitely leave my fur baby with her again!

I have know Melissa for more than 20 years. I have always known her to be dependable, hard working and reliable. Recently not only has she been an amazing friend, but someone I could count on to help me. She has house sat for us and done many jobs such as collecting mail, helped organizing our house, done tasks such as food shopping and caring for plants. She has also helped us babysit our two children, ages 5 and 9. She is a great friend and I can always rely on her when needed.

Melissa did a great job pet sitting while we were roommates from 2017-2018. I specifically remember one dog in particular which she would have over for hours and overnights at a time. She did great with that dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Melissa took better care of my dog than I did they went on hikes & beach days when I had to be on the Mainland. She is very capable &very understanding of YOU & your fur baby or babies & treats them as they were her own. I actually think my dog liked doing things with her more than me. My friends even requested her for their pets when needed. She will make a VERY GOOD addition to your business. Your animals WILL ALWAYS PRIORITY to her & may not want to come home..

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.
