Pet care experience

I’ve always loved animals as a child and young adult. I also grew up taking care of my family pet (a female Silky Terrier) who lived 14 beautiful years before her passing in 2018. Thanks to the pandemic, I've been able to hone in and build a loyal clientele where I offer pet sitting, walking and boarding experiences for both dogs and cats. I can help elevate any pet stress you may be experiencing. Located in the Bronx, but willing to travel.

Melissa was wonderful with our dog and cat! Our dog can be pretty anxious, but she was so comfortable around Melissa! She provided lots of updates and was super clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend!

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.
