Pets

Experienced Pet Sitter loves pets!

Pet care experience

I am a mother of 4 children and one Chihuahua-Miniature Pinscher named Pepperoni (we call her ‘Roni’) and a cat named Dexter. I have been a pet owner for many years and have had a passion for animals all my life. In my experiences I’ve found that animals can generally sense a friendly person, and most pets I come in contact with quickly become comfortable with my demeanor. I am happy to be able to care for animals and give pet owners comfort in knowing their dear family members are being genuinely loved and cared for! It’s a wonderful and exciting time in my life that I am able to incorporate my passion for animals into my “work” and still be available for my family. I have cared for many different animals, rabbits, birds, fish, bearded dragons and hamsters. I am comfortable giving medications as well.

Melissa is reliable and loves our kitty. We’ve had her for 5 days this past trip. She sent us lots of photos and comments every day. She’s the best!!

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.
