Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Mel, I am a car mechanic by day but I love to come home and take care of pups in the evening. I did rover a lot when I was in school and now that I am saving up to buy a house I thought starting up again would be a great way to do that. Plus I get to hang out with dogs so it's basically a win-win When your dog and I hang out we will go on walks/ rollerblades around the neighborhood. We will also go to lakes, the dog park and even fun little trips in the car, or if it's more of a chill day we can hang out and play at home. I am very low-key when not at work and would be able to spend most of my time with your furry friend. While I am more of a dog person I do love all animals and would be happy to hang out with your kitty as well! I want to make sure home still feels like home when you're away. I would love to have another furry best friend and I am super outgoing and friendly, so feel free to contact me with any questions that you have! Thank you!

Mel was a dream! I was passing through Chicago and staying with friends that couldn't easily accommodate my large dog in an apartment with their two cats. Mel was a friendly and enthusiastic dog sitter. She was communicative and gave Tommy all the attention and love he needs to feel happy and at home. Will definitely contact her the next time we're in town.

Mel is an excellent care taker. My dog really bonded with her and was stress-free during her entire time with Mel. She has a 'chill' demeanor and my dog really appreciated that connection! I can tell when she dropped off our dog that she will miss Mel. What more can you ask for!

Mel's got a lifetime of experience with pets and she's a level 10 dog lover! On top of that, she's punctual, dependable and is great with communication! Highly recommended!

Mel is awesome! I have known her for 5 years now and she’s always with a dog! That’s actually how we met. Our puppies had puppy school together. She has baby sat my dog before and she’s done a GREAT job! Doodle loves her so much. They cuddle and play fetch lots! She always sends us pictures of what’s going on and updates me. I would 10-10 recommended her!

I like to care for pets in their own home as it allows them to be more comfortable and stick to a routine while you are gone. It is important to me that everything is the same in terms of scheduling while you are gone so that your fur baby feels a sense of stability even when you're not home.

Information Mel P. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what a typical day looks like with you and your fur baby so that I can make sure I live up to their expectations. It is also important to me that I have knowledge of any past issues, medical or behavioral, and any allergies so that proper accommodations can be made if needed.

A typical day

I love to go roller blading as I have played hockey since I was 6 and it is so much fun to do that with a companion, especially so they can get a bit more running and excersize in through the day. I also love going for walks so we can stop and smell all the smells. Something that I also enjoy is puzzles for the fur babies so they can keep their brains moving just like their bodies.
