Your Dog’s New Favorite Sitter

Hello! My name is Melissa, and I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a true love for dogs. I have personal experience caring for dogs and am comfortable handling daily routines like feeding, walking, and giving oral medication when needed. I understand how important consistency and proper care are to keep pets healthy and happy. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, or just relaxing with some company, I’m happy to provide attentive, loving care while you’re away. Please note - unable to care for dogs with cats in the same household due to allergies.

Before caring for your dog, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure the best care possible. I’d like to schedule a meet and greet prior to care whenever possible.

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.
