Responsible, trustworthy dog lover

Pet care experience

I've been a dog owner for 10 years, work for a veterinary clinic, and also foster for a local rescue, so I'm used to handling a variety of ages, sizes, and temperaments. Very familiar with basic training, medication administering, and dog care. I have 5 dogs of my own who love to play with visitors and would be thrilled to wear your dog out for you!

Second time with Melissa and it was as perfect as the first! She is so attentive to my pup. Such a wonderful person!

Melissa was a great caretaker of our pup while we were gone on vacation. She was so good with keeping us updated with texts and pictures of our sweet pup. He was happy and healthy when we returned. We would definitely reach out to Melissa in the future when we need a sitter for our pup.

This was my first time using Rover and Melissa made things so easy. We had to travel out of state for my father's funeral and she took such excellent care of my puppy, Bo! I didn't have to worry about anything. Just brought her and her food. Melissa took care of her exactly as I requested. She sent photos and even a video of Bo playing her dog! Melissa made this difficult time less stressful and I would recommend her 101%! I would definitely use her again in the future. Thank you, Melissa!
