Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make your pet more comfortable while you’re away! Ahead of time I’ll want to know about your pets history and any possible safety concerns you’d have.

A typical day

As far as activities, I can do most special activities. I love to hike, and I love the outdoors. I also love to relax inside and keep your pet company as well! I’d love any recommendations where to go to walk and run.

Hi there! My names Melissa. I am a previous vet tech now full-time professional at an engineering firm in Tampa. I have an extensive background caring for different types of domestic breeds and would be more than happy to take care of yours while you're away. I can work with you to do anything your pup or kitty might need such as feeding, exercising, socializing, bathing, medication administration and more!

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.
