Business Trip - Let Me Assist!!!

Pet care experience

About Melissa: $50 rate is for 1-2 dogs and includes: basic house sitting task - watering plants and mail pick-up. As a former business traveler (traveled 90%), I understand the demands of corporate america and especially the "last-minute" business travel needs. I am so excited to be able to assist in taking care of you precious pet(s) while you are away! I am experienced in pet sitting and am currently self-employed with a very flexible schedule. I am new to working for Rover, however experienced in pet sitting a beautiful Alaskan Husky of my own! I am experienced with dogs, cats, birds and fish. I have verifiable references, available upon request! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet(s) as needed! For your pet(s): Feeding, medication needs, daily walking, extra-exercise, single and/or multiple trips plus minor house sitting needs while you are away. For the pet owner(s): If you live within 10 miles of either airport (DFW/Love Field) I can assist you with curbside drop-off and pick-up at the airport to save on expensive daily airport parking charges during your trip!!! Please feel free to contact me with ANY questions!

Melissa is a true animal lover and has a gift with animals. I have used her several times when I had to leave town for a few days. Melissa is flexible, easy to get in touch with 24 hours a day concerning your animals, and willing to go the extra mile for your pet. I highly recommend using Melissa as a pet sitter to anyone who has animals that need a little tender loving care. I can always tell when I come home by the temperament of my animals how well Melissa does while pet sitting. My animals are relaxed and anxiety free. Melissa is an asset to any animal lover's family and is a natural at taking care of animals. Please feel free to email nthaden@yahoo.com if you need further recommendation or have any questions.
