Pet care experience
New to Rover? Get $20 off your first booking with code: MELISM14693 I'm a long time animal lover and pet owner and cannot imagine my life without creatures big and small. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, and reptiles. I have cared for senior pets and pets with medical needs. Testimonials: "My mom is such a lovely human. She gives me belly rubs and is the perfect napping partner! I love when she takes me for walks because she let's me take my time to sniff everything, or stare at things and even let's me walk off leash because I'm such a good girl. My mom is the best and my favourite human (dont tell dad)" -Kahlo, age 5yrs, canine "Mom is pretty cool. She is awesome at giving me pets when I'm in the mood. It's a little embarrassing, but she's so great at petting me that I start to drool. Mom turns the bathroom faucet on for me every time she goes in there so I can drink fresh cold water. If you're reading this, and you're a cat, I would highly recommend getting in on some of that snuggle time action. 😻" -Carlito, age 6yrs, feline About my services: It is my goal to make my time with your pet as valuable as possible. The more I know about their personality the better I can make their time away from their favourite humans more fun, comforting, adventurous and playful. I will follow all of your directions for care to a T so that your pet maintains their schedule structure as closely as possible. I can travel as far as 10kms from my home to yours to offer play visits, walks, and house sitting. Visiting your home: Security, safety, and the health of your pet is imperative while providing services at your home. I am attentive to securing entrances, making sure nothing provides a hazard, checking all areas your pet has access to, and ensuring pets are hydrated and eating well. I will give detailed reports on your pet’s energy level, appetite and potty breaks. If anything is amiss I will notify you right away. If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me and I will reply as soon as possible. Look forward to meeting your BFFs (best furry friends) ✌
Reviews
Melissa cared foe our cat for a week and we had no worries while we were away. She updated us with notes and photos of our cat looking very happy. She was even able to add extra shifts last minute - so we always know our cat is in good hands.
Melissa is great and so patient and kind. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends for their fur babies!
Once again, thanks for being reliable. You’re the best ❤️
Thank you Melissa for taking care of our cat over Christmas! It made me feel better knowing she was in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pet I will follow their regular schedule for feeding and walks as closely as possible. For drop in visits I will stay for the duration of the visit (30 or 60 mins) and offer playtime and interaction based on your pets needs. At all times I am vigilant about your pet’s safety and security.
Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
Tell me your pets personality, preferences, likes and dislikes. Each pet is as unique as people are from one another! I want to win your pet's heart by offering their favourite toy, treat, game or activity. If your pet has any behaviours of concern please let me know ahead of time. I want to know how best to redirect and reinforce appropriate behaviour when handling your pet. I’m here to support you and provide continuity for your pet. The more I know about your beloved four legged family member the more fun we will have.
A typical day
Walks are the best ever! We can sniff the streets and follow a scent trail all the way to an off leash park if that's your dogs thing. We can toss a ball and play fetch, look for our friends at the local park or just take a liesurely stroll and enjoy the sights. If your cat enjoys lots of attention, or just a little, or really none at all (cats! Amiright?) I will respect their space. I enjoy a chatty conversation, giving kitties their favourite treats, providing head scratches and snuggles-if that’s their jam. We can even bust out the catnip and laser pointer to really get the party started.
