Unfortunately my dog doesn’t get along with all dogs so I don’t offer services in my home. I’m happy to do drop ins or stop by for a walk.

Information Melissa T. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preference, I’ll gladly watch over any dog :) I would just like to know the temperament of the dog just as a heads up. Also, anything that triggers your dog, such as guarding a toy or a bone, just so I know not to cross those boundaries.

A typical day

I would be willing to take your pup anywhere that you are comfortable with. A walk around the neighborhood, around the park, or even on a hike!

Pet care experience

Hello Pet Parents! My name is Melissa and I would love to get to know your pets! You name a pet and I have probably had it growing up. From dogs and cats to bearded dragons and snakes. I have my own rescue dog Maya, who is the most spoiled dog I know. I work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible to do drop ins or walks throughout the day. For overnight stays, I can check in throughout the day or work from your place. I don’t have any breed preferences and I don’t mind high energy dogs at alll. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like!! I hope I’ll get to meet your babies soon!! :)

Thank you Melissa! It's hard to trust people with our senior pets, but Melissa is always great. We have a dog that has dimensia, takes meds and has accidents. Having Melissa check in on them allows us to travel and not worry about their care.

Melissa did a great job! She did exactly what we requested & sent pictures to let us know that our pup was good.

Melissa did a great job! She did everything exactly as we listed in the instructions and our dog seemed to really enjoy her company! We would use Melissa again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. Thanks 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.
