Pet care experience

I'd love to love your pet!

I have been a pet owner since I was in my early twenties. I started with a cat, who I had 11 years. I also had a toy poodle and most recently a boxer. I love taking care of animals and going on walks. My first boxer succumbed to degenerative myelopathy and we then rescued a senior boxer who is the perfect addition to our home! We inherited my mom's cat who is tons of fun. We want to share our love with your pet.

Melissa was great with our two Great Berenese Mountain dogs at our home! She is very caring and kept us up to date on our pups the entire time we were gone! We will absolutely be reaching out to Melissa again!

Melissa was very easy to work with and very responsible. This was my first time having an in home pet sitter and it worked out great. She put my mind at ease from our first meeting and I did not worry any about the well being of my pets while we were away.They seemed to respond well to her coming in feeding and checking on them and we had nothing unusual happen while we were gone. She did everything I asked perfectly and I highly recommend her. She was very easy to work with for our needs. We received photos and updates daily which was very comforting for us to be leaving them at home for the first time. She did a fantastic job!

This was our first time leaving our cat "Reggie" with a pet sitter and we were understandably anxious as we were going away for a week. After our "Meet and Greet" with Missy, we were very confident we found the right person for Reggie. Missy followed our instructions for care and feeding and offered great suggestions during her time there. She promptly provided pictures and messages providing regular updates on how Reggie was doing, quickly responded to any questions we had and spent plenty of time with him. Missy is a credit to Rover.com and we would not hesitate calling her again to cat sit for us.

Melissa took great care of my cat while I was out of town. Sent me pictures and updates and was very professional. I have already booked her again and would highly recommend.

Let me know if your dog has any fears or anything special he or she likes to do. I'm pretty accommodating to cute animals. ?
