Pet care experience

Help a girl out! I recently got an exciting job at OHSU. However, I currently live in Hillsboro. In exchange for helping me commute to work, I’m offering a discounted rate to care for your loving pets overnight. If the pets are okay with no humans around for about 8 hours Monday to Friday, we have a deal. I have lived with and cared for several of my roommates dogs for over ten years. I'd love to walk your dog(s) or check on them during the day. My goal is to make sure your dog feels as comfortable and stress free as possible while you are away by keeping their daily routine the same. Allow me to alleviate those concerns while you are away from home with fun walks, feeding, playtime, overnight and vacation stays with your pets. I have experience with large dogs, aggressive breeds, puppies, and injured and aging dogs. Excellent references. You deserve the best!

Our first time using Melissa to watch the girls. I could tell she made them feel right at home with cuddling picture updates as well as fun updates for hijinks on walks and feeding times. She left the house clean and our girls were very happy and their normal selves. No anxiety destruction from Tova! A big win. 10/10 trust 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.
