Pet care experience

Tell your dog I said HI.

I've had dogs or cats as pets my whole life. I've always been the go-to person when people needed a pet sitter or someone to visit or walk them. I've had the most experience with dogs & cats but even looked after a Bearded Dragon! I set my own schedule for my regular job and that allows me to be flexible with my time. I can accommodate almost any situation or pet need. The house I live in does not have a backyard so I have to take my dog, Coco out on her leash. Whether it be her or someone else's pet, I always make sure to watch the door and secure the leash before proceeding outside. When walking, I am always aware of the environment and what people or animals are nearby. I adjust accordingly if I sense a potential unwanted situation about to happen. I treat other people's pets as if they were my own. Safety and security are my top priorities. I also do everything I can to make sure the animals are comfortable in my presence. I don't want any animal to feel upset or stressed.

Melissa is great and really helped me out on the fly when something came up with my scheduled sitter. It's obvious that she loves animals and does an awesome job taking care of them!

Thanks Melissa, you did awesome with our dog and I appreciate you coming out on short notice as well as the great communication. This was the first time I've used Rover and I was very impressed with Melissa and how she handled everything. I felt our dog was in great hands!

Melissa is great, trustworthy and very caring!! I used Melissa several times over a few years. The animals loved her! I had dogs and a bearded dragon. She loved the dragon as much as the dogs and was not freaked out by a lizard! She would give Lizzy a bath and let her run around. She came to the house twice a day and would send pictures and spend time with them. I totally trust Melissa - she's wonderful!

Melissa is a good friend of mine and she created a close bond with my dog. So when I needed somebody to check on him during my long work days, she was my first choice. She always did a wonderful job and I knew my dog was in good hands.

I would like to know of any medications or special needs that a dog might have. Also, it's important to know of any things that are known to cause the dog unease or discomfort. For instance, some dogs don't like people wearing hats. Of course, what the feeding times are, what they eat, are treats given, and any daily household practices that the dog is accustomed to.
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.
