Pet care experience
Reliable Pet Care & Updates
I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.
Ratings and reviews
Mela R. cancelled a booking after the stay began.
This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Mela! She was incredibly communicative, kind, and reassuring from the very beginning. She understood our anxieties about leaving our fur babies and went above and beyond to help us feel at ease while we were away. Every drop-in included plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our pets and took the time to make them feel comfortable. Our pup is usually very nervous around new people, but Mela was so patient and sweet that she quickly gained her trust and helped her feel confident and relaxed. Knowing our pets were in such caring hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We are so grateful for everything Mela did and would absolutely book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful pet sitter!
Took great care of my cats! She was communicative and made me feel less anxious leaving my babies at home ❤️. 10/10
She was super prompt and helpful! Easy to talk to and our cat seemed to really like her. We'll book again with her!
Mela was amazing! She did such a great job sending pictures and keeping us updated. We felt so comfortable knowing our pups was in good hands! She will definitely be our go-to dog sitter! 🐶
Pamela was super nice and always very punctual! Thank you so much!!
