Safety, trust & environment

I’m willing to do walks and drop in visits. Walks can be as long as you’d like and since I have a car, I could even take your pet to a park with your approval. For drop ins, I could do anything you needed whether it’s enrichment, feeding, training, cleaning up after your pet, or even just keeping them company. If there is anything else you need that I didn’t mention, feel free to ask!

Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs your pet may have. I am very good at giving oral medications on account of my experience at a vet clinic.

A typical day

We’ll go on walks, play with toys, do some training, and even some puzzles! I’m excited to spend time with lots of cute animals and gain lots of experience for my future of caring for animals.

Pet care experience

I love spending time with animals. I recently worked at a vet clinic and it was great because I got to pet dogs and cats all day. I’m excited to try being a pet sitter/walker and get to hang out with more animals. I currently have two dogs. One 6-year-old that I got as a puppy and one 13-year-old that I adopted last year. I also have a pet snake and lots of fish. Unfortunately, I don’t have a cat because my dad is allergic, but I love spending time with my cousin‘s cat named skittles. Last summer I did an animal behavior internship UC Davis and learned quite a bit about animal training. I’m excited to try applying what I learned while working for Rover.

We are so lucky to have Meli! Our dogs Tofu and Teddy, can be a bit excitable, but Meli knows exactly how to make them feel comfortable and calm. Meli is incredibly reliable, and provides updates/photos of the dogs absolutely make my day! It’s such a relief to know Tofu and Teddy are getting love and exercise while we are at work. That our pups are in her incredibly dedicated hands. She also has extensive knowledge on all animals having worked in a vet clinic. Highly recommended!
