Self-Proclaimed Dog Whisperer

Pet care experience

I grew up with two wonderful dogs, which sparked my love for them. I have cared for dogs at every stage in their lives--even seniors. I have experience caring for blind dogs, diabetic dogs, shelter dogs with troubled pasts, and dogs with limited mobility. I have a natural connection with animals and am very gentile and patient. Your dog will be in great hands and will be treated with the utmost respect. Friendly dog behaviors will be encouraged and supported. We will go for walks, play in the park, practice fun tricks, and snuggle (if it's what your dog wants). I will show dogs of every kind the compassion and affection they need and deserve. I cannot wait to meet your dogs and create a wonderful bond while you are away. You will never have to worry with a dog in my care.

Melissa was fantastic! Maizie got along great with her housemate's little friendly pug Lily. I had to go out of town on business for 4 days and Maizie was well taken care of by Melissa and her housemate Cortney. I will definitely use them again!

We loved Mel. She sent pics of our babies and updated us very frequently while we were gone. I had no worries with Mel there. One of our dogs is very timid with new people and from the pics looked like it took a day for him to warm up to Mel. The dogs looked like they had a great time with her. I highly recommend if you are in the market for a sitter to watch your fur babies I would use Mel. I will definitely use her again.

Mel is a fantastic dog sitter! She cares so much for both people and dogs and it makes her super friendly to work with and I can leave my puppers with her and feel 100% comfortable doing so. My dog was happy to see me when I came back from vacation but she seemed extra happy from the stay with a friendly new person. Mel also took the time to send me a quick picture of my pup when they were playing and it made me feel great to see.

I am so happy that we found Melanie on Rover. She is great with our dog Rosie! I really trust her and know she truly cares about Rosie. Would recommend for sure!
