Trustworthy and Easy!

Pet care experience

Animals are a passion of mine - I treat every animal as my own! I’ve spent the majority of my life taking care of animals, both my own and others. I keep a tidy home to ensure maximum comfort for my pets. I only expose a clients animals to my pets if there has been an initial greet and approval from the client.

Melissa was great! She was very punctual and always sent me pics of the dogs on their walks! She also had the good sense to call me when she noticed a potential medical situation with one of the dogs, and she was kind enough to drop off the dog at the vets office. I would definitely recommend!

Melissa was so nice, communicative and very professional. I highly recommend her as your dog walker! She came by my parents house every day for 4 days and walked my husky for an hour while i was away. He got the perfect amount of exercise. Thank you soo much Melissa!!

This was my first time ever using Rover and Melissa was the PERFECT choice for me. First off, let me just start by saying I was very apprehensive to even use this app and leave my dog because he is very attached and protective of me aka he barks A LOT at strangers entering the home and takes him a bit to warm up to people. He also has a lot of underlying health issues. Melissa did such a great job at easing my mind and checking in during every visit with lots of pictures and notes. The 3rd or 4th day she said Rosco didn’t even bark at her which is HUGE ! Highly recommend. Definitely using Melissa every time I travel now. Thanks again for taking such good care of my baby!!

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with administering medication orally, but do not feel qualified enough for injections. Any type of walking behavior is important for me to know beforehand to ensure animal safety. I adapt easily to animals who are more timid.

A typical day

Personally, I love to stay active so walks, or even runs are an every day must for me. Frequent quick walks for potty breaks are a great way to exert energy. Tug of war is a must from time to time!
