Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet require/prefers certain things over others. ie: activities (off-leash/fetch etc...), toys, belly rubs etc.... The more specifics i know about your furry friend, the better our experience will be!

A typical day

I live close to a lovely trail, safe from traffic threats, with lot's of little ponds and picturesque scenery for your pet and I to enjoy safely on our adventures! Outdoor play time and walks will ALWAYS be a LARGE part of our day. We would then head back, where i would make sure food and water are available, and we can have some one on one snuggle time!

I Probably Already Love Your Pet

Pet care experience

HEY GUYS! 😊 LARGE FENCED IN YARD TO PLAY. ***All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations including Parvo vaccines**** I am highly allergic to cigarette smoke, so I cannot service homes where cigarettes are present I have been a trusted Pet Care Provider for OVER 2 decades! First of all, I know that some owners are leaving their pets alone or with someone else for the first time. THIS CAN BE SCARY, and i know that feeling! Please express ALL your concerns to me, I am here to make this experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for you! SAVE $20 if it's your FIRST time ever booking with Rover!! Your Promo Code: MELISS59048 I also offer house up-keep, watering plants, opening some windows for the time I am there to air out the house, etc... A little about me, I have had many, what most would call, out of the ordinary pets in my care growing up. Some include, raccoon, cranes, squirrels, wild birds, and of course the “occasional strays” I decided to bring home after my day of playing outside. (you can imagine my parents were thrilled with this lol). The more “wild animals” mentioned on my list were from my aunt, who volunteered with Erie Wildlife & Wings. This is where I was taught how to prepare and bottle feed baby raccoons/squirrels etc… and what they needed specifically to heal before they were released back into the wild. I have also had, dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, birds etc… as my own pets growing up. So, really, the reason I decided to offer my services on Rover was because I really missed being around dogs, and having one of my own at the moment, just isn’t a good fit. For myself, I am VERY active, which works well when caring for most pets. But I am also very patient, loving and kind. I absolutely love teaching animals new things, and different ways to communicate, and grow. I really thrive on trying to create that strong bond with animals. When you leave your pets in my care, they are going to someone who literally feels like they're the best part of her day! They will be SO loved, played with, and given oodles and oodles of affection and attention. I hope something in my little bio “speaks to you”, and we can chat really soon!

Melissa was amazing! I had my usual person who checks in on my cats when I’m away cancel last minute. I discovered Rover and nervously gave it a shot. Melissa answered my inquiry quickly and answered my questions and arranged to come meet Bruce & Giggs before I left. Upon meeting her, she was lovely and made me feel more comfortable in leaving my guys in her hands. She was very accommodating and kept me up to date when she would pop in. The pictures were nice to see in her updates. Especially the one where she won Bruce over and he snuggled with her 😊 I trust an animal’s instincts about a person every time 😊 I would definitely use her services again.

Melissa is an amazing person! She looked after our Tabby Kitty Boy for 9 days as a House sitter. She took such great care of our baby! She gave timely updates with videos and pictures - we never had to wonder about how is he doing - thanks to her proactiveness and such love towards our kitty boy. She went a step ahead and ensured the house was clean and handed it over in such a good state! I am totally booking her care again - our kitty was super happy and looked after! So much so that he misses Melissa! Would recommend her BIG TIME! She is amazing!
