Pet care experience

Dog mom & cat lover w/ vet tech exp

In my early 20’s I worked as a vet tech allowing me to gain invaluable experience taking care of four legged family members. Now I’m mom to a very high energy rescue pit named Mia, so I have lots of first hand experience with large breeds and understand the importance of routine with our pets.

Safety, trust & environment

The most important thing to me is making sure you have peace of mind while your fur babies are in my care. I will send you pictures at every visit or stay, spend lots of time playing (and cuddling if that’s their thing!), and report any behavior that seems out of character asap!

Melissa did a great job caring for our animals and with only short notice. I would recommend her services!

Melissa was friendly, personable and immediately established a good rapport with my cats. She communicated well and replied quickly to all of my questions. Will hire again.

I've known Melissa for well over ten years. She is responsible, energetic and a good soul. She started working with pets when she was young and owns a beautiful dog who is so fun to be around. I would not hesitate to entrust my dog with her.

Melissa is absolutely amazing. My Sadie, a Cheweni, is very fearful and skittish of new people. Melissa has been so patient and calm with her, and treats her just like her own.

Having written instructions is very helpful, so I do request a care sheet with special requests and/or special needs, and emergency contact info for your fur baby.
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.
