Lover of all animals

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Melissa and I am an animal lover who has many years of experience in taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals (both as my own pets and those of family and friends). I have previously worked in an animal kennel and volunteered at a stable. Because of this, I am very familiar with pet care routines and over night care, including medication routines and allergies. I have worked with all types of dog breeds, varying sizes, and age ranges. Currently, I am working from home which allows me to have flexibility when walking dogs and I am able to provide around the clock care for your pet. I have the needed skill set to provide the best pet care.

Melissa was incredible. Amazing communication and took on more than she probably needed to. I highly recommend.

Melissa was great! Jasper made a new friend during his stay with her! Looking forward to our next booking with her...

Melissa would be an excellent dog caregiver. I’ve seen her take care of her family dog along with her 2 cats, turtle, fish, and birds. She loves animals and I have no doubt that she will be anything less than amazing when it comes to being a dog caregiver with Rover.

Information Melissa N. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know if your dog gets along with other dogs, any dietary issues/allergies, exercise routine, and comfort level with long walks. Knowing the typical daily routine helps me stick to that routine & have the dog feel most at ease.

A typical day

Depending on the pet, I enjoy taking the dogs I care for on long walks and sometimes even hikes (weather permitting). Playing with pets and making them feel at ease is very important.
