I recently relocated to Alabama and am excited to meet local pets and families. I cannot board pets in my home at this time, but I'm happy to do overnight house sitting, drop ins, and walks to keep pets comfortable in their own home.

I’m really good at following directions so whatever you instruct me to do with your pet(s) I will do accordingly. I’m a very neat person and will try my best to leave your house as it was when you left.

Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time, if your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications they need to take, or something else that needs special care.

A typical day

I’m more than happy to play fetch or other games with your pet. I love being outside so I’d love to go on long walks with your dog.

Hello!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I also have experience with reptiles and rodents too! I have watched my friend’s and family’s for years when they go out of town.

Melissa was a great dog sitter for a stay in my home: she clearly communicated her schedule ahead of time, listened to their food & care instructions, and sent me photos and updates while we were gone. I have two adult dogs, one of which is blind and deaf and needs special assistance getting in and out of the house. When we returned, our house looked great and the dogs were happy. My family will definitely use her again!

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.
