Pet care isn't just a part of my schedule; it is my schedule. As a full-time sitter, my days are structured around the needs of my animals under my care. This means there are no conflicting work meetings or commutes, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's schedule. I dedicate morning, midday, and evening blocks specifically to walks, feedings, and play sessions, with plenty of time in between for communication and customized care.

Safety, trust & environment

When choosing House Sitting, your pet receives my full commitment to deliver Epic Adventures and Warm Hugs right in their familiar environment, which I think is the best choice for anxious or multi-pet homes. As your pet sitter, I like to get a detailed overview of your pets' exact routine (meals, beds, schedule) so I can minimize stress and ensure maximum comfort. Our days are filled with Heartfelt Hikes on familiar trails, keeping our adventures safe and enriching, and all potty breaks are timely and consistent. Beyond premium pet care, you gain added home security and peace of mind, as I handle basic home needs like mail and plant care with the same professional attention.

Information Melaney S. would like to know about your pet

My goal is to provide the same or better level of care for your pets as you! I prefer a detailed idea of your pet or pets' needs so I can best serve them, such as... - Meal requirements and schedule - A general idea of your pet or pets' temperament and behaviors - Your pet of pets' favorite activities (or lack there of HA!) - Any special needs such as medications or bedtime routine

A typical day

I love taking dogs out to nearby parks on walks and playing fetch and tug-of-war in the backyard. I have never met a dog that doesn't enjoy a good brushing, so depending on the coat, I bring my own brushes to get their undercoat cleaned out and looking fresh! Cats usually like to do their own thing, but I love playing with their favorite toys as well!

Epic Adventures & Warm Snuggles

Pet care experience

As an Adventure Specialist, I offer your pet much more than standard neighborhood walks; I provide enrichment hikes and structured play designed to satisfy both their mind and body. I am highly proficient in reading dog body language to ensure safety in new environments and adapt the pacing and duration of our adventures to suit your pet's specific needs. For shy or anxious friends, I bring a reliable calm energy that fosters a quick, loving, and trusting bond. You can always depend on my professional commitment, which includes strict punctuality and adherence to all routines, expert handling of customized care (such as medication or specific diets), and preparedness with basic pet first aid. Most importantly, I guarantee your peace of mind through prompt, detailed communication, including photo and text updates of all our happy adventures!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
