Information Mellysa C. would like to know about your pet

I am very familiar with all types of breeds and I can accommodate many personalities. Safety for your pet is my first concern, then we can have fun and enjoy our time together!

A typical day

We can play or cuddle, whichever your pet prefers. I am comfortable to go on long walks if your pet likes that or short ones around the block. I will always gauge how the pet feels at all times to make sure they are comfortable with all environments.

Veterinary Medically Trained

Pet care experience

Hello! I (Mellysa) have 14 years of veterinary specialty and emergency hospital experience as well as fostering and pet sitting. Prior to that I grew up in 4H and was responsible for farm animals from large animals like cows, horses, pigs, sheep to chickens and peacocks and other fowl. My partner (Chris) and I work together petsitting and own an online business as well. We specialize in patients that have extra needs or need to have medications or treatments administered, but love healthy pets too! We can do daycare or overnight care at our house. We enjoy working with all types of breeds, young and old, feline and canine. For daycare or boarding, they must be under 15 lbs. I (Mellysa) am well trained to be alert and ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy at all times. We will never force your pet to do something that they do not want to do or is unsafe. My priority is for your pet to play safe and have fun! I can't wait to work with your pet!

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.
