“Melanie is absolutely amazing!!! She is without a doubt the Mary Poppins/Dog Whisperer for all pets! We have 2 golden doodles who have really never been alone for more than a few hours as my husband works from home. We were invited on a 10 day cruise to Alaska and were so stressed out as we were not going to leave our pups in a kennel and having someone come “check” on them daily was not going to work either. Finding Melanie was a godsend. Besides spoiling your pets with love, your pets will be happy and not stressed. My girls ate daily, and warmed up to Melanie instantly. We came back late last night and the girls have been looking for her. Melanie communicates daily and my house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. I am so thankful for Melanie because not having to stress about our pups when we were gone was a huge deal. We will be requesting/using Melanie for all future trips. Thank you so much Melanie!!!”

About: Leash up! New clients welcome—let’s walk and wag! 🐾 Hi there! I’m Breanna—a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, where caring for animals was second nature. I’m a nurse and now a stay-at-home mom who finds deep joy in looking after all kinds of pets and animals. When I’m with your dog, I don’t just walk or watch—I engage. I incorporate light training to reinforce good behavior, and I love taking candid, high-quality photos that my clients always rave about. The pictures are often their favorite part! Plus, I like to bring fresh carrots from my garden for treats and no matter what I make sure there is always fresh water in their bowl! With a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s dogs, cats, birds, fish, or just about any animal needing love and support. Have a pet with special needs? I’ve got experience there too. I cared for our 6.5 yo Saint Bernard with severe medical needs for many years and I’m comfortable working with animals who require extra patience and understanding. Being a nurse has made me very attentive to animals needs! I know they’re your babies—because mine are too. They can’t tell us what they need, so it’s our job to show up with love, patience, and care they can feel. Can’t wait to hear from you! I have a very wide open schedule seven days a week to help care for your pet. Walking is such a necessity for my life and I find that this schedule fits perfectly into that! Here to help! 🤲🏼 We live on a third acre lot in town with a large wooden fence, dogs live inside, but enjoy the outdoors in the backyard. In order to stay at our home, I will be very particular to the dog because it is important for my dogs (Thunder & Murray.) I would love to establish a small cliental of individuals that are comfortable bringing the furbaby to our house for the consistency of everyone.

“I couldn't be happier with my experience using Rover! My sitter was incredibly kind, professional, and provided regular updates with pictures of my pup. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. When I returned, she was happy, well-cared for, and had clearly been treated like family. I highly recommend Rover to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet care!"”

“I've known Breanna for many many years, and one thing I can say without hesitation is that she loves big and cares greatly for everyone and everything! She has two dogs of her own, and they are part of her family in a big way. I would confidently leave my dog with Breanna for as long as I needed to. Rest assured, your dog will be loved on and very well taken care of while you are gone!”
