Highlights
Pet care experience
ER/ICU Vet Assistant
I’ve worked in Veterinary medicine for 16+ years which includes Kennel/Veterinary Assistant in a general practice ,Emergency Veterinary Medicine for almost 6 years now. I moved from Maine in the summer of 2024. I’ve had on and off experience over many years of pet sitting mostly for my veterinary co workers pets in their homes (multiple cats, multiple dogs and sometimes a combination of both). I would enjoy having positive experiences with your pets on their normal day.

Ratings and reviews
So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.
Melissa did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 dogs and cat. Highly recommend and will gladly have her back to watch them again.
Melissa did a great job. She communicated well and followed instructions. Easy peasy. I would recommend their services and will gladly use again in the future.
Melissa is absolutely wonderful just every animal I’ve seen her interact with. She treats every animal with the upmost care and respect. She is one of the extreamly few people I trust my pets with. You can trust Melissa with your sweet baby as she treats all pets as her own. Highly recommend Melissa to anyone!
Melissa is a kind and caring veterinary assistant. She is a responsible and empathetic even under stressful conditions such as a veterinary emergency room. She is reliable and great with both cats and dogs. Her medical knowledge also puts her in a class above others. She would be able to keep an eye on your elderly pets with no issues and can medication them reliably if needed.
I believe Melissa would be an amazing pet caregiver. She has multiple years of experience as a veterinary technician, in general practice and emergency. She is very hard working and dedicated to helping take care of any animal that she works with. I would trust Melissa to love, care, and support any animal like they were her own. She would be amazing for this position!

Schedule
I'm currently working Full Time my availability is mostly Thursday/Fridays and Saturdays. I'm available for 1 drop in visit or 1 walk Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday. House sitting is limited to places I am able to bring my dog with me (he gets along with everything) as long as he pets in the household are ok with my Labrador Retriever. I'm willing to adjust rates for repeated visits to make it more affordable. More about me: I moved here from Maine in 2024 I have years experience in the Veterinary field but also pet sitting which was mostly veterinary staff pets in their home, experienced watching multiple pets that live in the same home. I had two full time jobs prior to the move so I have never had the opportunity to join Rover until moving to Oregon. I'm huge into fitness and being active in general (My lab and I enjoy Hiking/Swimming).
