Safety, trust & environment

I know schedules are important for your fur baby. I try to make their transition from you to me as easy as possible. I will also get packages from your front porch, get mail, water plants, whatever you need! There will be lots of conversation and love with your fur baby and there is always room in the bed!

Information Melissa N. would like to know about your pet

Any information about your dogs favorite toy or walking area is important. Also, their dog friends in the neighborhood as well as people friends, too. Their routine, demeanor, and comfort level with new people.

A typical day

I would definitely walk and play with your dog! It’s fun! I would want to see and bring out the dog’s personality and make it feel like they are in a safe, secure, and familiar environment.

Pet care experience

I have been pet/house sitting for over 30 years. I do have experience with pet meds, senior care, and all breeds. Best job ever! My two main priorities is that your fur baby is safe and happy and your house is safe as well. My pet sitting experiences have been nothing but positive.

Melissa is amazing! My best experience on Rover, she was able to wear out my 9 month old puppy which is a tough task. Her communication was amazing and she left my apartment spotless. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Melissa! My pup can be very anxious, but she made sure he was comfortable and happy while I was on vacation! Great communication, took wonderful care of my home, spent lots of time with my pup, and she even got great reviews from my neighbors! I would recommend Melissa’s services to anyone who wants to be sure their pet is in great hands while traveling! Thanks so much Melissa!

Melissa has been a wonderful pet sitter for me for over 5 years. She understands each pet’s personality and cares for them as I do. Communication is excellent. I recommend her without reservation.

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.
