Information Melani Z. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if pets show aggression to other dogs, to people, with food, or with toys. If pets are on any medications. And any other quirks such as chewing up shoes or things like that.

A typical day

I enjoy classic activities such as walking, fetch, splash pad play, tug of war, and find the treat games or puzzles. I also loveeee some good cuddles! If your pet has a favorite activity I would love to be able to do that with them! A special place I would enjoy taking dogs is up to the top of my neighborhood, which is a ridge, where there is a scenic view of the city.

Pet care experience

Loving on and looking after animals has always been a big passion of mine. I have cared for dogs, cats, goats, and even a bearded dragon before. I currently care for animals full time. I have experience with some farm animals, attending to their feedings and very simple medications. I am no stranger to senior pets. I worked as a dog daycare attendant and kennel technician for about a year and half. I have a medium size fenced in yard space at my home to give dogs nice and safe outdoor time. I live on a private road which is nice for dog walking. As well as, my town has many local hiking trails and parks. My cat Cole has separation anxiety, so I am very big on making a pet feel comfortable when away from family. I know how important it is to know your furbaby is in safe hands.

Melani was great! We had no worries while we were gone. She kept us updated every day with text messages and pictures. Will definately use again

I can’t say enough good things. We got stuck in the ice storm while traveling. She stayed with our dogs with no electricity, got a fire going, and did a lot of extra on top of that. We can’t recommend enough

Melani is a kind and compassionate pet-sitter who has provided drop-in visits for our two cats on multiple occasions. She has done an excellent job for them as well as helping me navigate the Rover website. She is flexible, thorough and we can highly recommend her as a pet-sitter!

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.
