Pet care experience

I HAVE BEEN VACCINATED FOR COVID-19 Hello! My name is Melissa. I’m originally front Boston, but I was in Philly for 4 years for school. I have been doing business with Rover for about a year before the pandemic hit in March last year. Since then I have been off, but I’m hoping to get back to it now that I have been vaccinated and things are opening back up a bit. I have done dog sitting, walking, and hopefully boarding soon once the pandemic has begun to end. I have dealt with dogs of all ages and personalities, so I am pretty equipped to deal with various scenarios when it comes to pet care. I grew up with 2 staffishire bull terriers. As well, I walked and took care of neighbors’ pets upon request. I’ve also house sat pets before. During time off from school, I would volunteer at the local animal shelter. Despite all this, I think the most important part is I consider myself a dog lover. I genuinely love being around dogs, and it would only be a pleasure to have the opportunity of taking care of your pet.

Another terrific visit for Dexter with Melissa, this time for four nights. He was excited when he arrived, greeting Melissa and family like old friends. Melissa sent daily photos and videos and texted questions during the stay. A great experience.

Another great visit for our dog with Melissa. He loves staying with her and he gets all the attention and care he needs!

We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.
