About Melissa

Experience: 2 yrs

Hi there! In my teenage years, I worked in a kennel, and then moved up to vet tech. I have always loved animals of all kinds. These days, I'm a fur mom to a 10yr old pit rescue named Mia, and have been caring for pets via Rover since 2020. I have experience with administering medication, including insulin, and experience with senior pet care, as well.

Melissa was a great dog walker for us! Our dog absolutely loved his walks with her. It was a huge help having someone so dependable and easygoing. She also bathed him every other week, which we really appreciated.
