Paw-fect Dog Sitter One Click Away

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Melissa and I live in Canton. I currently am working virtually as a Respite Care & Community Engagement Director for a private, non profit organization for people with disabilities. As a Recreation Therapist and health care professional for over 11 years, I am passionate, caring, and truly love taking care of others especially our furry friends! I am a dog mom myself of a wonderful 6 year old Jack Russell/Corgi mix named Molly. Your pup wouldn’t be any different, as I would treat them and love them as they were my own. I am very athletic and love being active so I will be happy to go on long walks with your dog to get some exercise! I am looking forward to meet your paw-fect dog!

Melissa is great !! We came home to a very contented dog. And our dog is quite elderly, and easily confused, so it was not a simple thing. I recommend Melissa whole-heartedly (and we will be using her again).

Melissa was amazing with Rosie! We have an older dog who gets very anxious when we are gone. Melissa was great about communicating and providing updates each time she checked our baby. Normally when we get home, Rose is very anxious and overwhelmed, but this time even though she was excited to see us, you could tell she was relaxed and well taken care of. No anxiety at all!! Melissa will definitely be out 1st choice next time we are in need of a sitter! Thanks, Mel!

Melissa was so easy to communicate with! Super flexible and very responsive. We ended up having to cancel last minute, but she was graceful about it and we felt very comfortable planning to leave our dog with her. Will definitely keep her in mind if we need another Rover!
