Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have a super flexible schedule and lots of time to give pets the attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime during the day, or evening check-ins, I’m able to work around what’s best for each pet. I really enjoy being around animals, so taking care of them never feels like work.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m taking care of pets in my home, I make sure they’ve got a clean, cozy, and safe space to relax and play. I live in a pet-friendly townhome with enough room for them to feel comfortable and have some fun. I always try to stick to their normal routine, walks, meals, playtime, and any special needs they have. If I’m watching pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep everything as consistent as possible so their pet feels right at home.

Information Melissa T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of, I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe! Use my code MELIST68352 to get $20 off your first booking on Rover.

A typical day

We’ll go on walks, play fetch, explore the park, and have plenty of cuddle time! I love keeping pets mentally and physically stimulated, so we might even try some simple games like hide and seek with treats or practicing fun tricks.

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young and it’s something that’s always come naturally to me. I’ve gained more experience by volunteering at animal shelters and working at a dog grooming shop, where I walked and cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I always adjust my care based on what each pet needs. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own and do my best to make their time enjoyable.

Melissa is always punctual, communicative, and so gentle and loving with my 15‑year‑old Aussie — and she’s just as kind to me. What more could we ask for!
