About: Working in the service industry, I take great pride in making sure all my guests are well taken care of, whether human, dog, or cat. Working full time but flexible schedule throughout the week. Available for drop in visits, walks, and some overnight stays. Let’s chat to find a time that works! Your pet's care is my priority. Whether walking, feeding, or house sitting, it's important to meet all of your expectations so I can provide exceptional care for your pet.
“Melissa was wonderful with our two energetic Boston terriers. We hired her to walk them during the day while our friend (who was staying at our house when we were in vacation) was at work. Not only did she walk them, she took the time to play with them as well and get their energy out. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have worked with animals professionally since I was 16 years old and have spent the past three years working in animal shelters as a Behavior Specialist, helping dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments feel comfortable, safe, and successful. In addition to my shelter experience, I have four years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. My background in animal behavior allows me to recognize body language, reduce stress, and provide individualized care based on each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves adventure, needs extra patience, or simply enjoys a consistent routine, I am committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care while you're away. i’m currently working full time and have off on sundays and monday. On the days i work, i work 9-5:30 sometimes getting done earlier on occasion. I currently have a whole separate room to separate cats from my own. I work in animal welfare and know how important sanitization is a well.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! My family bred Pugs for over 10 years, and I’ve personally owned and cared for animals for more than 35 years. Over the years, I have owned Pugs, Labs, Bernese Mountain Dogs, an Italian Greyhound cats, bunnies, fish, and turtles — so I think it’s safe to say I’m a true animal lover! What sets me apart is the experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, a senior pet who needs extra patience and attention, or a shy cat who takes a little time to warm up. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give lots of attention and affection, and provide the patience and care they deserve. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your beloved pets are in caring and experienced hands! My work schedule can vary from week to week, with workdays ranging anywhere from 12-hour to 8-hour days, so I don’t have a set weekly routine. However, I do have flexibility throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate the days and times that work best for you and your pets. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to work with you ahead of time to coordinate a schedule that provides consistent and reliable care. Communication is very important to me, so I’ll always do my best to plan around my work schedule and make sure your pets get the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away. I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their own home, depending on the service and what works best for the pet and their family. I believe pets are most comfortable when their normal routines are maintained, so I do my best to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime schedules. When caring for pets in their home, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. If pets stay in my home, they become part of the family during their visit. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and other animals, and I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home. Most importantly, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re apart.

I work as a personal trainer Monday through Friday which leaves me with a very flexible schedule. I am in control of my hours and have gaps throughout my work days giving me the perfect opportunity to use that time to care for your pets whether that means stopping in to check up on them or taking them on a walk! Also an excuse for me to get some exercise and help those high energy pets get theirs as well! I carefully follow all care instructions, respect your home and pets routine, and always double check doors and gates! Also understand pets body language making sure they feel comfortable at all times!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals in general since I was 5. I learned what is needed for the animals. How to make them happy content. I’m currently in school to be a dog obedient instructor. From there I’m looking to pursue hands on training on top of what I already know. I have multiple animals. I am home majority of the day. We have cats and dogs and chickens. I make sure our animals are fed and have water. They are all loved and cared for. We do basic training here.
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up with three wonderful dogs throughout my childhood, each teaching me something different about love, patience, and companionship. One of them was even a future seeing-eye dog. Although we only had him for about a year before he went on to begin his important work, it was incredibly rewarding to be part of his journey and to help prepare him for the life-changing role he would have. When my husband and I bought our first home, one of the very first things we did was adopt the sweetest girl named Kora. She filled our home with joy, laughter, muddy paw prints, and unconditional love for ten unforgettable years. Saying goodbye to her was one of the hardest things we've ever done, but I wouldn't trade a single moment we had together. Because of these experiences, I know that dogs aren't "just pets"—they're family. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I'd want someone to give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy until you're back home. Beginning August 1st, my scheduled will be wide open. I have been working as a Licensed Massage Therapist for the past 11 years...and for 6 of those years I have owned my own business. I have recently decided to retire and close my business. I feel that pet sitting is the perfect mix of flexibility while also scratching the itch to spend all my time with fluff balls! I am looking forward to taking your dog on their walks, playing fetch in the backyard, or cuddling on the couch with them. I also love to spend time with you cats, rabbits, rats, hermit crabs...you get the idea!

Jenni really helped out big time. I’m always very skeptical with walking the pups as they are a handful. But she was Very attentive to details. She came in leashed the pups and took off as like a Pro! In the end she provided pictures and updates. Jenni asked really good questions and made sure they were very comfortable.
