Now Offering $20 Off YOUR First Booking on Rover! - Use profile link, create your Rover account, and add promo code - it's as easy as that. - Valid only for first time Rover users. Profile Link: https://www.rover.com/sit/melism98671 Promo Code: MELISM98671 Greetings! Looking for a dependable and friendly pet walker or sitter? You can count on me! WHY MELISSA? Having grown up with a love of dogs from an early age, I am excited to offer my dog walking and sitting services to you and your furry best friend. You can count on your dog receiving some simple, good ol’ fashioned love! My husband and I currently live in downtown Fargo, and since we don't own a pet right now, I would love to help YOU within your busy schedule caring for your dogs. I have the flexibility to spend time with your dog during the entire day, so you’ll never have to worry about him/her being lonely. Living a quick two blocks from the river, I enjoy daily walks and runs along the beautiful paths and park areas, including Dike East Dog Park. These unlimited routes are sure to satisfy your dog’s energy level, low to high. We also love visiting Oak Grove Park for disc golf adventures - we love taking pups along if OK with you! In 2019, we spent 9+ months living in Manhattan, NY where I worked full-time walking and boarding dogs, so am comfortable with all breeds, ages & sizes! I've had experiences with dogs as tiny as a "marshmallow fluffball" Pomeranian to a 100+ lb. "gentle giant" Great Pyrennees; age ranges include 7 week "young" Golden Retriever puppy to a 14 yr.+ old "Gma" Rat Terrier! Take a look at my photos for your healthy dose of adorable dogs & fun NY backgrounds! We love hosting different varieties of dog breeds - it keeps things interesting! :) This will be a win-win situation: you deserve a little help and I get to enjoy some sweet "dog time". Spending the day playing outdoors and relaxing in the evening with belly rubs is the perfect doggo life – book me and I can promise this for your pal! MELISSA, WHERE ARE ALL YOUR PROFILE RATINGS? Everyone starts somewhere! I am fairly new to the Rover app, and am excited to build my online presence! It would be my pleasure to schedule an outdoor meet-n-greet or video chat with you and your pup to ensure we are a good match. **We only care for dog(s) from the same household at any one time, so don't worry, your dog(s) will never overlap their stay with another household's pet!** Let's chat. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them the exercise, care and love that you expect! Cheers, Melissa & Matt
Reviews
Melissa was wonderful and took great care of Harry. He clearly felt comfortable and enjoyed his stay. She took the time to learn his routine and medication schedule. I highly recommend her care.
Melissa and Matt are the best! I will always choose them first over anyone else!
BEST DOG SITTERS EVER!!! Merk was very well taken care of. We loved how active Melissa and Matt were with him and truly felt like they treated him like their own. We will definitely have them watch Merk for future vacations, etc. Thank you both so much!
Melissa is our go to back up when Grandma is not available and we couldn’t be more thankful for her and Matt always taking such good care of our fur baby! Highly recommend!
About Melissa M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We always "puppy-proof" our home prior to your arrival. This includes removal of tempting chewable items, and a baby gate so that your pup stays in the main room with us! While we want them to sniff the sniffs and get acquainted to our home, we prefer to be in eye shot at all times - it keeps us all out of trouble! :)
Home
Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
- How does your dog act when seeing unfamiliar dogs? - Does your dog have any particular behaviors of which I should be aware? - Please Include in Your CARE NOTES: 1. walk & potty schedule 2. sleeping style 3. preferred commands or training techniques 4. furniture rules (we don't allow on bed, couch is OK, but your more strict rules overrule ours) 5. behaviors with people vs. kids vs. other dogs 6. dog park preference **7. Specifics about your pup!! We love getting to know each of our pups and their owners on a more personal level than can be done just by you reading my profile. Meet-n-Greets are great! LET'S CHAT! If requesting a home stay, we would ask for the following details: - Do you have an apartment or house? Where can we park our car? - Do you prefer we stay overnight at your home? If so, where would we sleep? - How would we access your home? - What areas/amenities of your home may we use? What do you prefer we do not use? We do not have any dog breed preferences, love them all!
A typical day
We'll go on walks along the Red River and surrounding parks, including Oak Grove Park, Island Park, Woodlawn Park, & Dike East Dog Park (dog parks only per owner preference) -- all in walking distance from home!! Your pup will enjoy lots of cuddles and belly rubs, too!

Availability
We love dogs, and would love nothing more than giving them our full attention on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the weekdays! Melissa works from home part-time and Matt works from home full-time, so if you get a booking with us during the week, your loved pup will never be left alone!
