Safety, trust & environment

I do not currently offer boarding of pets but I am happy to come to your pets familiar environment and keep to the routine that they are used to.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but will need to know if your dog is potty trained, likes to chew on furniture, has any behavioral problems (anxiety, dog or people friendly, etc.) or if there are certain limitations (short walks only, etc.)

A typical day

Play time is a must indoors and outdoors. I live near several parks and am only ten minutes from the dog park. You can expect lots of walks in the parks, occasional trail running and lots of snuggles!

Pet care experience

I’ve had and trained dogs for most of my life. I believe in exercise, discipline and affection and enjoying running or walking dogs. I love going to the park and I definitely let dogs on my furniture and believe in puppy snuggles! I have a full time job during the week and am available early mornings and evenings and can get away during lunch if it’s not too far, but am available full time on the weekends. I will be sure to cater to you and your pets’ needs and will respect whatever rules you may have. I also have experience if any medication is needed for your dog or with senior dogs. I have had dogs all of my life and enjoy their company!

Melissa did a fantastic job taking care of my Bunny girl (a dog). She was thorough in asking questions at the meet and greet and kept me updated on their adventures while I was traveling. I would use Melissa again in a heartbeat.

Melissa was very gracious to walk Kingsley last minute on a holiday when I had to gone for the whole day. She was very friendly, kept me informed and Kingsley loved her. I would definitely use her again!

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.
