Devoted Pet Lover with a Heart 💜
Pet care experience
Howdy, I'm Melissa – a devoted pet lover with a heart for all fur babies! Having been a pet owner for quite some time, I fully comprehend the responsibilities and needs that come with caring for animals. I recognize the apprehensions that may arise when entrusting your beloved dog or cat to someone else, but rest assured, I handle all furbabies with utmost care and caution. When your pet is in my care, you can leave with peace of mind, knowing they are safe and cherished. As a meticulous individual, I thrive on specific directions for your pets' well-being and promise to follow them with care and attention. I've been a dedicated Rover sitter since 2019, finding immense joy in providing love and care to others' pets. Despite the temporary nature of pet sitting, it has undeniably added brightness, fulfillment, and richness to my life. Nestled in a secure neighborhood my home is open to all animals, and I guarantee exceptional care for your pets. During your time away, expect daily photo updates, allowing you to enjoy your break without feeling obligated to respond. Over my 5 years of pet sitting experience, there are a few reasons we might not be the perfect match: if your dog isn't potty trained or displays aggressive or destructive behavior. While we don't frequently leave our home, when we do, it's for no more than a couple of hours. ⏰ Boarding pick-up and drop-off hours are between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm, Monday to Sunday, with the last pick-up at 9:00 pm. Any hours outside this timeframe may incur an additional fee, up to $35, depending on the situation. I'm flexible and understanding, so do let me know if you run late, and we'll figure things out. For the safety and well-being of all pets, please ensure your dogs are up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea control medication is a must. Feel free to reach out with any questions – I'm committed to responding ASAP and ensuring the best experience for your furry friends.
Reviews
I've been using Melissa & Tony for several years now whenever we need a sitter and they have been just wonderful sitter to our dog Cooper. They always sends me pictures and gives me daily updates on how he's doing. I can just tell how kind and caring people they are to our dog and I can't thank them enough for the care they provide to our Cooper. Cooper is always so ecstatic to see them and trust we built over the years is unreplaceable.
Melissa & Tony were awesome! They were flexible even when I messed up the reservation and took our pups a day early and even offered to pick them up from our house to make our travel day easier ! Got pics everyday and our dogs came home relaxed and well loved ! Would highly recommend !
I cannot begin to express how pleased we were with the care our dog received while staying with Melissa. She kept us informed daily on how our little guy was doing and you could see how relaxed and comfortable he was in their home. Pictures were sent everyday so we always felt connected. We never worried once about his care. We absolutely will have him stay there again. One of the best dog sitting service out there. Thank you so much!
I have used Rove.com 2 times and have never had a bad experience with any of the sitters. Awesome sitter!! Melissa kept us updated the entire time. I would definitely recommend and use Melissa again.
