Melanie was amazing with our golden retriever puppy!! She was kind and professional and spent quality time with our pupper while we were at work. Already rebooking her services for dog walking; highly recommend!

I am not sure where to even start Melanie is absolutely amazing. She didn’t meet and greet with my dog. It went great, but when I left and she had to do it all alone to walk my dog, he was very skeptical and was in defense mode. She was very patient with him and earned his trust, she went out her way to get to know Maverick. She updated pictures every day. She kept me updated. She even went above and beyond to give the guinea pig that I have water. I am very thankful for her and how patient she was with, not only my dog, but with me. She is very understanding and takes everything into consideration. I will make sure I always pick her in advance to watch Maverick. To see Maverick grow with her was absolutely amazing just shows her character. This was my first time ever leaving my dog alone without me and I did not know how bad his separation anxiety was until this situation but Melanie handled the situation with love and care as if Maverick was her own and that’s all I can ask for if I could give her 10 stars I would!!!!

Melanie is one of the kindest, sweetest and hard working people that I have ever dealt with. She is very responsible and timely. I highly recommend her.

Melanie would be a wonderful pet caretaker and dog walker for Rover.com. Melanie has extensive experience caring for pets, dogs in particular, having been the pet-parent for multiple dogs the past 30 years. Melanie is very active and physically in great shape, able to take dogs on walks for as long and at any pace requested. Melanie also has the unique ability to quickly relate to most any dog or cat, making them feel comfortable with her from the moment they meet. I highly recommend Melanie for Rover.com.
