Pet care experience

I have grown up with and cared for cats my entire life. I have also owned a large breed size dog and been fur friends with many, many other pups.

Melissa was amazing! She took such good care of my dog. She listened to understand how often and how much to feed Roo and what times he needed potty breaks. I was worried about leaving him with a pet sitter so I'm so happy I found Melissa. My dog was in good hands.

Melissa made our first time using Rover go very smoothly for us. Our little Wally was tuckered out when he got home from all the play time. We would definitely use Melissa again for our drop-off cat sitting.

Melissa was wonderful in caring for our dog, Tessa, on short notice. Kind and communicative, we will book with Melissa again the next time we need!

Melissa did a great job with Rosie. I will contact her again if I need to be gone.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment complex, but a fenced in area is directly behind my building if that’s what you prefer for your pet. Its a quieter neighborhood with not a lot of traffic so it’s nice to take walks in too 🙂

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

Potty & feeding schedule. Any anxieties your animal might have as I do live in multi family housing. If your pet is good with kids. How long they can be left alone for…

A typical day

I have a nice area to the west of my building to walk puppies on. My 10-year-old son is a big help with the pets too!
