Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced/compassionate/ reliable
My name is Melissa and I care for all kinds of animals in your home or mine. I am a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. Before becoming a stay at home mom, i received my bachelor’s degree in animal health from Kansas state university and spent most of my working career at veterinary clinics as an assistant/technician. This gave me experience working with and caring for almost every breed and also different medical conditions and medications prescribed by veterinarians. At this point in my life I enjoy taking a step back and raising my 3 kids. Rover has given me the opportunity to stay doing what I love in caring for animals and also provide for my family while being able to be there for my kids while they are young. I take pride in my ability to be punctual, reliable and compassionate with everyone’s pets and homes.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I am happy I have been able to count on Melissa to watch my animals when my husband and I are away. This last time she was kind enough to accept that we booked her on short notice as we weren't sure our camping plans were going to work out. Thank you!
The animals love her and I know that even though they are out of their routine, they are well taken care of. Melissa is the best!
3rd times the charm! So glad we found Melissa for our dogs. Always does great at communicating and it’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy to watch them:) Thank you!!
Melissa was amazing! Prompt with messages and thorough with care, going above and beyond!
I appreciate how well Melissa documents each visit to the house. She is a responsible and dedicated care giver. She goes above and beyond to interact with my animals and to provide them a clean environment while I am away from home. I couldn't be happier for trusting her with Ruger and Bruce and our home. Thank you, Melissa.
Is great and attentive. My animals love her so much and I know they are well taken care of when I am out of town.

Pets
A typical day
I like to keep your pets routine as you would do it. If they are used to you walking them a certain place I will happily walk them the same way. If they like a lap to sit on I will let them sit and be petted. My kids are always involved with in home boarding and love to lay down on the floor with them or let them up on the couches with them.
