Lover of all animals

Pet care experience

I have pet sit/house sit for my family and friends for many years and finally decided to bring my services to Rover. I enjoy both cat sitting and dog sitting.

Thank you so much for your sensitive and loving care for my dog, Shamey. She is a challenge that you accepted and was very successful with her needs. I would highly recommend you to others that need a warm and loving dog sitter. Melissa, you need to bump your daily rate to $50, you deserve it.

We needed someone last minute to watch our 2 dogs and Melissa stepped in right away and even fit in a time to meet our dogs before we left. I felt so much better knowing that Melissa had met Zoey and Murphy. 🤗

Melissa was great and checked in often so we knew our dogs were happy and doing well. We knew our dogs were in good hands and we would definitely book her again.

I do work 40 hours a week in wheaton so pets that need attention multiple times within an 8 hour window would not be a good fit. Love to get out with the dogs and go for long walks (or shorter for the senior dogs).
