Pet care experience
Fun and dedicated animal lover!
Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my profile. I'm pleased to have discovered Rover and have made many new puppy friends (and kitties too!) thanks to you, loving pet owners. I have experience house/pet sitting for family, friends, and Rover parents. Whether on vacation or out of town, on business trips or just away for a few hours, I'm here to fill in! I will love and take care of your babies as my own. My goal is a happy pet and a carefree pet owner! I am always reachable and consistently send updates and pictures. I have truly enjoyed each opportunity I've had as a dog sitter. Every pet is unique just like we are as people, and it's not just watching them that I look forward to, but building a friendship with each of them! I currently work at Home Depot in Capitola and see service dogs come in frequently with their owners and am amazed at how much our dogs do for us. I also volunteered for a year at Native Animal Rescue and loved my time with wildlife, rehabilitating birds, squirrels, possums, skunks, and all kinds of awesome animals. I am pleased and so excited for this opportunity to meet you and yours and look forward to talking to you soon :) Thanks again!

Safety, trust & environment
I am great at following directions and I will make sure your fur babies are happy and loved while you're away! Whether you're dog loves fetch or cuddles, or your cat wants to share their favorite toy, I will keep your pet entertained during my visit :) I am very observant and detail-oriented, and will always put the safety of your animal first.

Archie enjoyed his walk with Melissa!
Melissa is great! Very reliable and so sweet with my dog. I will continue to request her:)
Melissa is great. She's very dependable, flexible and loving towards my dog. It's been a huge relief knowing she's got everything taken care of:) I absolutely recommend her and plan on continuing to request her in the future.
As always, we returned to a happy Kitty-dog. Thank you!
Melissa was everything we hoped for....both dog and cat in great shape , house was left in good condition. We would use her again in a Heartbeat! Thank you, Bryna berkowitz
Melissa is great and conscientious! Freya loves her and she is super responsive, keeping us up to date in everything. She even took time to come meet Freya, to pick up a key, etc. So appreciated!

Schedule
I currently have a wide availability for check ins and walks, although I generally don't offer overnight care because I have two cats of my own that wouldn't much like that ;D However, I am open to the possibility of a short-term stay since I have roommates who could care for my cats.
