Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

I love a Lotta different breeds but for pet sitting I prefer mostly the smaller breeds that would probably get along with my older little dog.

A typical day

I have a great neighborhood to walk in. Everyone is friendly. They’re great sidewalks to keep us out of the way of traffic to name a few.

Experienced Cat Caregiver

Cat care experience

Hi, I’m Melissa! As a lifelong cat lover and dedicated 'kitty connoisseur,' I know that cats thrive on routine and comfort. I specialize in making sure your feline friend feels safe and loved while you are away. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly, a shy hider, or a playful hunter, I tailor my visits to their personality. I am experienced in medication administration, litter box sanitation, and providing plenty of cuddles (or playtime with feather wands!). I provide daily photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind."

Melissa was wonderful with my older dog. So gentle and loving. She communicated a lot, and provided lots of pictures and video's so that we could see how well Sophie was doing. Sophie is older and needs medication and support with the stairs, we really appreciate all the care Melissa provided.

Melissa was incredibly helpful and assisting. Due to an unavoidable last second change in our previous sitter’s plan, we were left without a pet sitter during the holidays. Melissa stepped up with the correct questions, answers, and a level of care that we knew our pets were in good hands for the holidays. Our pets loved her and she provided great communication on them while we were out of town.

Melissa was very communicative and caring in watching Silas. She was very affectionate and kind when meeting him and made him feel safe. She gave frequent and timely updates on how he was doing ensured he was amply fed and given exercise. I would highly recommend Melissa for animal care.

Melissa was extremely awesome! She sent update photos often and was willing to get to know our pups versus checking the box and doing just what she was paid for. Which with being out of state for the holidays left our hearts full. I would highly recommend her for any of the needs Rover has to offer. She is the best!!

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.
