Pet care experience

It's a wonder-FUR world :)

I have been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life! I am dog OBSESSED, and have a 10 year old Shepherd mix and a 2 year old Husky/Shepherd mix. I love to dress them in "punny" Halloween outfits-- for example, one year my girl Ella was "Ella Degeneres"- and last year Tillie was "Tillie Eilish". My girls are my world!! I am available to do anything that is needed! I have experience giving insulin injections and also giving medications. I will treat your babies like mine! (Except I won't make them dress up in silly outfits, hehe!)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard, as well as two very loving gals to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs love other dogs and have never had any problem meeting others. We go to the big dog park on JI a lot, so they are used to company! If needed, however, I can separate my animals from yours :) We have extra bedrooms and my dogs love to lounge in one of the rooms, so it would be no problem.

Melissa is always so amazing with our dog! She takes great care of him and he loves to come over and play with her dogs! Can’t recommend her enough!

They were amazing! I was completely comfortable leaving my 11 week old baby in their care and was able to enjoy my day away worry free. He had a blast playing with their 3 sweet girls and was completely worn out when I picked him up! Thank you and see you all next time! 😊

I loved boarding my dog with Melissa and will definitely be having him stay with her for our next trip. My pup is very energetic and can be a lot to handle but she had no issues. He also had a “nervous tummy” the first few days but she was up with him throughout the night and kept me very well updated on how he was doing. Her dogs are great and played, cuddled, and slept with my boy for the whole two weeks. Cannot recommend enough!

I highly recommend Melissa to be a Pet Sitter/dog walker with Rover. Melissa is a passionate, caring dog mom of three. She is a great communicator and extremely knowledgeable about animal behavior. Melissa is highly qualified to handle all types of situations due to her personal pet experience and her medical background. On numerous occasions, she has helped me with my doodle crew of five. Melissa would be a tremendous asset to Rover.
