I’ll love your pets like my own!

Pet care experience

I love to snuggle, play outside, go on walks, and practice tricks! We love dogs of all breeds and sizes and I treat my friends and clients' dogs just like my own. I grew up with two Lhasa Apsos and until recently, had a boarder terrier/Chihuahua mix for 10 years. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. What led me to Rover.com is the number of friends I have that have had me house/dog sit consistently over the past few years, and I have loved doing it! My longest stay has been three weeks which included taking the two labs on walks, to the groomer, and even to vet appointments. We have flexibility with schedules which allow us to meet the needs of clients and their pets!

Melissa is Top Notch.. Gamora can be a little slow to warm up to new people.. Not with Melissa! She is welcome back anytime! She's prompt and reliable.. Great with dogs. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Melissa did a weekend check-in for my 2 cats when I needed a sitter short notice and she was really great! I was able to talk with her through the whole process prior to the booking and she made sure to double check with me on all the details for my 2 guys' needs! Follow ups were prompt whenever I messaged her over the time I was gone and she even sent me some check-in photos! I'm really glad Melissa was available and will certainly recommend to anyone who needs some worry-free pet care. I'll definitely keep her on my list to use again. - Cameron L. - Lenexa
