Availability

I'm currently a full time student and my schedule is fairly flexible. I'm willing to move things around as best I can to cover your pet needs. I do have a dog of my own. If I'm staying at your place, I need to be able to leave periodically to see my dog. My pup does great with my roommates, but still needs his mama!

Safety, trust & environment

My current home doesn't allow me to watch others dogs, but normally I would set up a pup cam so I can check in when I leave the house. I am certified in pet cpr and first aid, so if I am home I can respond quickly if anything goes wrong. I also do photoshoots and on occasion arts and crafts. When I'm in someone else's home, I request instructions for care. No care is the same and each pup needs what makes them feel comfortable.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time what your pets needs are so I can best prepare! If there is anything special needed from me, I'm willing to take classes, watch videos, discuss with a vet, etc. So please let me know!

A typical day

With each dog, a day could look very different. With my dog, we play fetch periodically and then snuggle on the couch. He's super chill ans just likes to hang out!

Mellisa M. is the best! She’s professional, arrives on time, spends quality time taking care of my dog and I can feel comfortable and confident at work that my dog has been well taken care of!

Second time working with Melissa and everything was seamless. Bea has been so well behaved this week and I credit it to her having a great midday walk with Melissa. Thank you!

This was our second time having Missy dog sit for us, and she was fantastic. We didn’t have a single worry while we were away on vacation! She communicates well and provides timely updates, which we loved. They made us smile knowing our dog was being well cared for and having her own little vacation 😊. Would highly recommend.

Melissa was wonderful! Thank you for getting her booties on each day and for dealing with our door issue. I have come home to a clean and happy puppy each day.

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.
