Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy sending pictures and videos of your pets, so expect a ton of pics of your kiddos. I will treat your pets the same way you would when you are there. Making them as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away is my priority.

Information Melanie B. would like to know about your pet

If they have medications, let me know what they are on, how many times a day and what medium they will take it in. Please inform me of any behavioral tendencies prior to a reservation. I am a trainer so I’m not opposed to aggressive or high anxiety dogs, but I like to be aware and informed so I can approach the situation appropriately.

A typical day

I will cater to each individual dog as need be. If a dog wants to go for a walk, I would be happy to accommodate. If they prefer to hang out on the couch, I’m also up for it!

Animal Care Professional

Pet care experience

🐷🐱🐶Experience: I've groomed and trained dogs for over 10 years now, and I'm also very experienced with other animals such as cats and small animals (chinchillas, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats). I care for any and all dogs! If your dog is problematic with strangers we can arrange a meet and greet and plan accordingly. 💊Medication administration: Yes, show me ahead of time, write down dosage, time of day administered, and which dog(s) or cat(s) receive medication. 🛁Grooming Services: I offer mobile dog grooming services, so if at the end of the visit you would like me to get your pups all cleaned up we can discuss that at the meet and greet. 🗓️Scheduling: I ask for open and clear communication on your expectations of your pet(s) care needs in the daytime. My schedule can book quickly, so I ask for advanced notice for any bookings. I do work in the weekdays; however, I do make my own schedule so there is room for some flexibility. 🚩 I do NOT offer full time care. If your pet(s) require 24/7 monitoring, please seek out another sitter who can best suit your needs. ✏️ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I absolutely love all animals, and understand every one is an individual, meaning they need individualized care. I’m a flexible easy going person, so just talk with me and we can come to a solution that works for everyone.

Melanie is the best Rover. We seriously appreciate her communication and photos. She is genuinely loving and caring toward our pets. We feel at ease when we rarely travel knowing our pets are in good hands. Melanie is our hands down favorite! The pugs and kittens and chickens look forward to her visits!

Melanie takes wonderful care of our pets and home! This is the first time we have left them with a pet sitter for an entire week vacation and felt so comfortable the entire time knowing Melanie was there.

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.
