Experienced and Caring

Pet care experience

I am passionate about caring for pets, no matter what size, breed, or type of animal, I consider them all to be like my little fur babies. I have had pets all my life but I’ve been taking care of them by myself for over 13 years. I also have been working at a doggie daycare and boarding facility since August 2020. I am working as a vet assistant full time. I am available for housesitting , walks, and drop ins, as well as bathing your dog if you wanted to add that on to your booking because I have been professionally trained by a groomer. Additionally, I have a husky and we go to the dog park and for walks several times a week, so if your dog is friendly, they can come with, or we can go separately! I can’t accommodate pets in my home at this current time, but I am happy to come to your home as it is likely more comfortable for you pets anyway:)

Melissa was fantastic to work with! She was able to gain so much tryst from my cat, Sapphire, who is very shy and scared of people she doesn't know. She even went above and beyond to get my cat out of a small crawl space in our attic so she could get her medicine! Thank you so much Melissa!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
