Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of your pet as you wish. They can be a part of the family or crated if that is more comfortable at times. You know your pet best and I am here to make you feel at ease that they are well taken care of. I have a miniature poodle who loves new friends. Your pet will never be unattended inside or out. I have an outdoor kennel for going to the bathroom and when the pups are not in the kennel, I will have them on a leash for safety. I like to go hiking nearby for dogs that enjoy that and you will always get lots of pictures and videos to know they are happy and safe!

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

All pets must be child friendly and be okay with other dogs. Your pet will most likely be with just my dog. My baby, Dunkin, loves all dogs and puppies! Just let me know of there is anything I need to know a head of time and I will do my best to make it happen! I have leashes, a crate if needed, harnesses, toys, treats, etc.

A typical day

Your pet will be played with and cared for. Let me know if there are any special requests or needs ahead of time that I can accommodate. They can be played with leashed outside as well as free to run around the house. My daughters are excellent with pets and we truly enjoy caring for them. Your pet will never be without attention.

Pet care experience

I have had and taken care of pets all of my life. I am responsible and a lover of animals. I treat others pets as if they were my own. They will be well taken care of and will be comfortable in my home. I have been pet sitting through Rover for over 2 years and have many repeat clients.

Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.

We booked with Melissa for a two night stay for our Rigby and could not be more pleased. She welcomed our pup into her home with open arms, and made the process of leaving him overnight for the first time easy and comfortable. She sent the best pictures and updates of him, and he came home very happy. I would highly recommend Melissa, and hope to use her again for our pet sitting needs in the future.

Melissa is caring, responsible and trusting. Melissa is an absolute amazing person and caregiver. Melissa is a great sitter for my animals. I don’t trust no one with my fur babies so for me to leave with someone when I am on vacation must mean I trust her with everything. She has given care to my dogs and took very good care of them while I was gone. Melissa was attentive to what needed to be done for my animals. My yorkie is on seizure medication and Melissa properly administered the medications for me. I felt relieved that I could trust someone so caring to take good care of my babies when I needed someone. So if anyone needs someone to watch their fur babies or fur kitties she is def the one you should pick to do it. U will not be disappointed. 5 stars for Rover. Keep up the great work u and your family are doing.

Omg. Melissa was a life saver! She watched my two puppies for a few days when I had no one else. My first experience with Rover and after meeting Melissa, I will definitely use her services again!
