Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Melissa! I have experience with many different dog and cat breeds, and I love them all. I have experience with our beloved furry friends through all phases of their life. I can offer comfort/companionship, administer medication, keep them active, etc. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! FYI: I work four days a week 10am-6pm so on those days I’d be able to give potty breaks before and after my shift.

Melissa is such a wonderful sitter! She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures of my pup while I was away! Will be using her again in a heartbeat.

Melissa was amazing with Teddy! He is pretty weary of strangers at first, but she handled him perfectly. She stayed at my apartment for 4 days and when I got back home everything looked exactly the way I left it. I texted her everyday, if not twice a day to check on Teddy and she always promptly responded and provided photos. I will absolutely book with her again!

Melissa is an absolute angel! She took the best care of our two little girls. She was super communicative, asked great questions, and went above and beyond to ensure our girls were well taken care of and we were anxiety-free. So grateful!! Thank you, Melissa!! ❤️

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.
