Pet care experience

*Compassionate*Trustworthy*Reliable

Hi! My name is Melissa and I have previous experience working as a vet tech in veterinary hospitals, low-cost mobile clinics and shelters. My life is dedicated to helping the well-being of all animals and I would be grateful for the opportunity to watch and care for your beloved pets while you are away! Whether you are out of town or stuck at work, you can rest assured that your animals and home are well-taken care of by someone who is trustworthy, reliable and compassionate. If your dog(s) have energy to burn we can go on a walk or play in the yard. However, if they just want to chill out, we can do that too! I am also a big cat lady and appreciate the allure of the finicky feline, for sure. It’s all about the cattitude. Whatever your cat wants to do is pretty much what we will do. When I visit your pet, it’s their time to be in the spotlight! I love taking pictures of all the funny shenanigans animals do, so you’ll always receive several photos of your happy pet from each visit. If your pets require medications or special assistance I am capable of tending to those needs. Thanks!

I don’t discriminate any breed or size, everyone has their quirks; however, if there is something specific that I need to know about one of your pets, whether it be a dietary need, physical ailment or behavior issue, please be sure to make me aware so that your pet is taken care of to the fullest extent.
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.
