I love playing ball, taking them out on long walks, runs, and even dog parks if allowed. Lucky to live in a nice area where we can be outside most of time.

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting for quite a few years now, from small puppies to giant dogs. I love love love animals, I had a dog of my own she was a Beagle who is now in doggy heaven. Although I currently don’t have a dog, I'll treat them like my own.

Melissa went the extra mile on time punctual great communication. She also saw that our older dog was not eating may be due to stress got her to eat and then told us what she was feeding her and we started using that style food and now our dog is acting like a puppy, thank you Melissa wow it was better than taking her to a vet. Thanks again again if you could have more than five stars, you would have them.

Melissa was an awesome dog sitter, as always. She’s definitely at the top of my list for people I’ll ask to dog sit in the future.

Great job she cares and she goes the extra mile. She’ll take pictures and send them to you while you’re away and she’s willing to do a meet and greet before she will also pick up your dog and bring it to her house if you need to she definitely goes the extra mile, don’t be worried she will take care of your family pet like it’s hers

Melissa was a great walker for my two dogs. Bows is a 16 year old gimpy girl with a drunk man stagger walking style while Roger is a stranger danger type of doggo. She handle both excellently including giving them oral medications when needed.

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.
