Dog & Cat Care Specialist 15+ Years

Pet care experience

Hey! I’m Mel :) ! I’m sure it’s not hard to tell from my pics… I LOVE dogs and cats! Caring for them began at a super early age and being outdoorsy made working with them a no brainer! From baby to elderly to energetic to medically sensitive - I’ve done it all! Thanks to years of working at a doggy day care & shelter, private clientele, and here on Rover! My care is curated to the comforts and routines of each specific pet. The house and yard can be the most fun playground or the coziest lounge, depending on the ever-changing mood! To get started on our first play date, please feel free to book an in-person or FaceTime meet and greet! Thanks for reading my profile and have a great day!

I don’t know if I can fully explain how fantastic Mel was as a sitter - but I’ll try! She took care of our 7 pets for a week when we were on vacation and was just the absolute best…don’t even bother looking for anyone else on Rover! She asked great questions in advance to learn about them and their routines and had incredible communication throughout our trip. She even handled a spontaneous nor’easter in a house that regularly loses power during storms with unflappable calm! We came home to happy and healthy animals and feel really grateful to have worked with her!

Mel was super flexible and communicative! She went above and beyond for my dog, Ollie, and even accommodated him when he was being a diva about going out in the rain. She even figured out how to put on his harness leash with no issues. She’s super professional, loves dogs and goes the extra mile! Would have her watch Ollie again in a second!

Fantastic experience with Mel! She’s incredibly punctual, spends more than enough time with our pup, and follows instructions to the most finite detail. Thank you, Mel! Can’t wait to work with you again!

Mel was terrific. She provided daily updates and made Louie feel like he was at home. It gave us great peace of mind. I would definitely book Mel again.

A typical day teeters between engaging pups in the yard, long walks, hanging on the couch, playing music, and cooking. I’m able to provide plentiful attention because I work remotely.
