Your Pup(s) Deserves The Best!

Pet care experience

I've never had a dog but have grown up around several family friend's dogs as well as dog sitting for friend's pups. I am a seasoned baby sitter and I believe that a lot of the skills needed for both fields go hand in hand. I am very attentive and will also keep your dog entertained and at ease with being away from you. My schedule is flexible and allows me to help you out with something as important as your pet. I live on Eastern Parkway and Nostrand ave so the sky is the limit for outside activities and also have a great gated backyard with my garden level apartment. Your dog will surely have fun and be entertained with me. See you soon!

I really hate to write this review but feel like it's important to be honest with other users so they can make decisions about who will watch their animals and be in their house. I had Melissa house-sit while I was away for Thanksgiving and during that time she had a party at my house. Her guests drank multiple bottles of expensive wine and alcohol (3 bottles of wine and 5 bottles of liquor [2 which were left empty and 3 more were left half gone]). Her guests broke an expensive wine glass. Brand new candles that were barely used were burned out. Also, my personal products (mouthwash, body scrub, new toothpaste) were used with barely anything left. I came home to find the upstairs was not secured from the dogs (as I had asked) and a candle was left burning all day which could have caused a fire. I was paying for someone to care for my dogs not throw a party at my expense. (Which only makes me wonder where my dogs were during this party and how they were doing if they were surrounded by may people they didn't know.) I wouldn't expect this behavior from a friend who was staying at my house and doing me a favor. I will not use Rover again.

Thanks for taking good care of my puppy! He's starting to try to walk towards your place on walks - I think he likes you!

Thanks for watching our puppy Melissa! It's nice to have someone we trust to keep tabs on the puppy while we're away. I'm glad we are getting to know you and looking forward to our next visit.

Melissa took care of my senior Lhasa Apso last minute when a family emergency arose. My senior dog has specific dietary needs and Melissa was very understanding and knowledgeable of how to care for my doggy. I returned home to a happy, well exercised doggy and clean home. There's no doubt that I would have her care for my dog again and that she would provide the same love and care to other animals. ?
