I'll love your dogs as much as you

Pet care experience

I'm very reliable. Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm available all day after 11. I'm free every other weekend and overnights. I'm skilled at handling multiple dogs at a time and have a multi dog family myself. I've dog walked and pet sat in past but haven't had availability like I do now. I'm comfortable with other animals as well and have handled quite a few including cats, rabbits, fish, turtles, guinea pigs, etc. I'm friendly honest and tenacious. I'm very adaptable and don't shy away from any challenges. I love all dogs and have since I was little girl. I think pets are important for our mental and emotional health and its our job to provide the best care for them. And I will do that!

Melissa is a pet-lover personified. Just look at the menagerie she has at home; four dogs, two cats and a turtle! And she takes beautiful care of each and every one ... most are rescues and they blossom beautifully under her care. There's no one on earth that MY dog, Max, loves more than Melissa! That's because when she walks in the door, no matter who is in the room, she drops everything and gets on the floor with him FIRST to give him hugs and kisses. Pure love. Melissa's love for animals transcends all else and it weaves in and out of the very fabric of her life. EVERYTHING involves her pets, even vacations! Her pets are her children. I cannot imagine a more dedicated, sincere, knowledgeable, and dependable person for the job. I HIGHLY recommend Melissa for a position with Rover. You will thank your lucky stars that you made the right decision.

Melissa has the biggest heart when it comes to animals. From taking in so many dogs and making them apart of her family there’s no need to question her love and loyalty to dogs. She has cared for my own dog at a point of desperate need and I am so grateful for that. There is no one better for the job because Melissa doesn’t view dogs as animals but rather as individual beings with their own personalities.
