Best Sitter on Rover! (Joke!)

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Melissa. I love all the dogs! I would treat yours with so much love as if it were my own. I exercise daily and love a good walk or run. I work from home so I’d be more than available to help and watch your dog all day long. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I’m easy going and open and would be totally available to meet you ahead of time. At this time I can only accept dogs that are housebroken. Thank you

Mac loved his stay with Melissa in Portland! She made it easy and we felt 100% comfortable being able to explore Portland without him for the day!

Brody had so much fun with Melissa! Melissa sent pictures and a video of Brody having fun with other pups. He was nice and tuckered out when we got him back which is always nice, since he high energy. We will definitely be using Melissa for future sleepovers!

We had a great experience using Melissa for a trip to Portland when we couldn't bring our dog to the hotel. She took great care of our elderly dog and sent photos!

Information Melissa V. would like to know about your pet

I treat each dog individually and respect their boundaries, pick up on their body language and make sure to treat them with love and kindness should they need extra attention!

A typical day

Each day starts with a voracious hike in the woods - then everyone gets some lunch and naps and snuggles or playing with their new friends in the afternoon!
