Your dog is my priority
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Melissa and I'm new to Los Angeles and ready to befriend your four-legged best friend. I adore dogs and their goofy loving spirit and I have previously dog-sat with my girlfriend Hannah under her profile (https://www.rover.com/members/hannah-d-dog-obsessed-and-ready-to-pet-sit/) as well as for friends and family. I work from noon to eight but have flexibility to drop by my house if necessary and my girlfriend is generally home by four so together we're able to take any boarders out fairly frequently. The apartment complex is all-size dog friendly. Eaton Canyon as well as Alice's dog park is minutes away for a longer walk/hike. In my home your dog has free reign, except for the bed at night. The apartment is on the second floor which requires going up a flight of stairs; there is no elevator. I'd like to hear from you and what you're looking for or if you have any other questions I can help answer to make sure I'm the right fit for you and your pet. Take care!
Reviews
Melissa is an amazing dog sitter! My dog can be a bit challenging but she handled him perfectly! Definitely recommend Melissa.
This was Brody's second stay with Melissa and it was great! We received regular updates and when I picked him up, I could tell he was happy. Thanks Melissa!
I have never let anyone but friends and family watch my dog. I was super anxious about the Rover app or any boarding facility, but Melissa was very sweet about everything. I met her first with Noodles at her apartment and she shared her schedule and roommates schedule who is also there. I also met her, Hannah. I even had Melissa wait another week while I explored other options, but in the end I felt that Melissa was the best choice. They were AMAZING working around my schedule. I dropped Noodles off at 630am/7am on Friday and picked him up once I got back on Monday around 915pm. This I felt was way above and beyond what they had to do and I am super grateful. My whole trip they messaged me once I left him, probably knowing I felt so sad leaving him, and then again in the evening. They would send me 2-4 pictures a day. They took him to the park and had a friend over who had a child who also played with him. They had him taking naps and playing fetch, but he is a sucker for a nice lady. Overall I really 100% recommend Melissa to watch your finicky pup. My dog needs lots of potty breaks and eats a raw/frozen food. I supplied my leash, harness, bed, treats, toys, dog food, and bowls for the food like a crazy dog mom. He was the only pup, so I did not have to worry about him being naughty or mean to another dog. If you are like me and so worried about this then Melissa is the one for you. She made the process super easy and by the last day I was not worried at all knowing he looked fine and happy in his pictures.
My furbaby Shadow is very shy when he meets new people but Melissa did a great job at gaining his trust and taking care of him while I was on vacation. She took him out for long walks and played games with him every day. She kept him so entertained that I didn’t even feel he missed me much while I was away. I received photos and cute little videos of him having fun. Shadow seemed to feel right at home, which made me feel better about leaving him behind and I was able to enjoy my vacations worry-free.

Please let me know what kind of schedule your dog is on and whether or not they require any special care I should know about. I would like to make sure I can accommodate!
A typical day
I would love to walk and play with your pet as they require. I'm happy to stroll around the neighborhood or enjoy the California sun at Eaton canyon for a longer hike. As I mentioned, there is also Alice's dog park which is a great spot very close by.
