I work from home full-time with the occasional in person event, so I am home the majority of the time! As a small business owner, my days have a few meetings but mostly administrative work, so I am able to have a great deal of flexibility for walks, potty breaks, and playtimes with your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

As a a Fear Free Certified Pet Sitter, my goal is to reduce the fear, anxiety, and stress your pet might feel being in a new environment!

Information Melyssa A. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure to communicate your pet's preferences ahead of time for routines - preferred meal times, walk times, play times, etc. Additionally, it's helpful to know if there is anything that causes your pet stress - like thunderstorms or fireworks and what kinds of remedies we might be able to use to help them relax and calm them down!

A typical day

We will have time for playing with their favorite toys, snuggling up for TV and movies, and a wonderful walking path to get our daily activity in!

Pet care experience

As a former animal trainer (PetSmart, US Navy's Marine Mammal Program, and SeaWorld Orlando) with a combined 15+ years of professional animal caretaking experience, I am looking to do some pet sitting and dog walking after sending my heart dog, Buddy, over the rainbow bridge in September 2023 🌈

Melyssa was able to accommodate a last minute change in our booking needs giving us such peace of mind about leaving our pups at home. And she is so patient with our little trouble maker!

It is so comforting knowing we have Melyssa to help with the pups for our longer date nights, so the little one gets a potty and play break!

Melyssa took such great care of my sweet Otto! She sent me so many cute photos and he came home worn out from all the walks, love and snuggles he got! He was in fantastic hands while I was away! Thank you Melyssa ❤️❤️❤️

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.
