Pet care experience

Life is better with dogs ❤️

Hi! I'm from Peru and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was a child, so I have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I'm also a medical doctor, which means I can respond calmly and effectively in case of any emergency with your pup and always keep a close eye on their health and wellbeing. 🐶 As a pet sitter, I provide high levels of care, companionship, and fun. I’m very patient, and my home has a large, secure space where your dog can run and play freely. I’m always ready to answer any questions and give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe and loved. Don’t hesitate to reach out -I’d be happy to meet you and your pup!

Melissa was great! I could tell Hallie was well taken care of and loved. It was really nice that Hallie got to socialize with Melissa's dog too, she seemed very sweet

Melissa is awesome. She paid very close attention to my dog Tulu and they bonded quickly. Melissa sent pictures every day sometimes twice a day with nice comments. I recommend her highly and I won’t hesitate to book her again.

Melissa went above and beyond while taking care of my dog Amaya. She is an excellent caring person. I was nervous about the process because it is my first time on Rover. She helped me so much and put my mind at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

A typical day

I love playing with the dogs in my backyard — it's fully fenced, so we have lots of fun together. There’s also a large park near my home where we can go for walks and enjoy the outdoors.
