Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

Definitely need to know if your dog is dog friendly to make sure they would get along with my playful 45 lbs female boxer baby who loves all other dogs and my female mini schnauzer is also very friendly.

A typical day

I love to give belly rubs, kisses, snuggles and play with toys especially a good game of tug o war. Love to walk around any nearby lake or nature preserve. I do have a pool in my backyard but would never leave an animal outside unsupervised.

Work from home foster dog mom

Pet care experience

I have fostered around 100 dogs since I moved to DFW 7 years ago for different rescues in the area. I love all animals and have alot of experience caring for dogs. I was a hospice foster for a few dogs also so i have alot of empathy for animals. I have 2 princesses in the house, my little 7 year old boxer Xena who has been amazing in helping me socialize other dogs I've fostered and my mini schnauzer Princess Belle. From my pics obviously my specialty is snuggling. I do have an in ground pool in the backyard but will never leave any dogs outside unsupervised. I love animals and will treat your pets like my own. Dogs can go in a crate or have free roam of the living room at night and sleep on the couch. I will help your dog feel comfortable at my house.

Melissa came in clutch on short notice for a weekend getaway. That weekend getaway went south when a family member had to be admitted to the hospital and she kept our pups for two extra days and even dropped them off at home for us!!! She made a hectic time so much easier and I'll never forget it!

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.
