Cat sitter and dog walker
Pet care experience
I've had cats and dogs my whole life, and have been a volunteer at an animal shelter for over seven years. I love animals and taking care of them and am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I am also currently a student in a Cat Training and Behavior Certification program. I really listen to what the pet owner wants, take thorough notes at our Meet and Greet, and have very strong customer service skills. I am also sensitive to what someone wants when hiring a person who comes into the home. If this is your first time using Rover, use the promo code: MELANB31289 to receive $20 off your booking. Please note: I often am booking two weeks or more out, so please plan accordingly. I am fully Covid-19 vaccinated (received my second booster shot on April 14, 2022) and get tested regularly.
Reviews
Melanie was so professional and thoughtful. She paid attention to the dog’s need and taught us techniques to deal with puppy behaviors. She’s super helpful and our dog loves her as well!
Melanie is a PRO! She asked all kinds of questions during the meet and greet, including things I had not thought of! I got excellent updates and I came home to happy kitties. I definitely recommend Melanie for your pet sitting needs.
Melanie did a wonderful job caring for my elderly cat. She is great about responding to messages, and took extra care to keep me updated on how he was doing. She is friendly and organized and clearly has a lot of love for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.
My second time booking Melanie and had such a great experience! I took a long 9 day international trip and was worried about leaving my cat so long. Melanie sent me videos every day and gave me detailed information. I was at ease the whole time and was able to enjoy my vacation. Thanks again, Melanie!!!

I take extensive notes at our Meet and Greet so that I know what you want when I care for your pet. If anything comes up during my visits with your pet that I have a question about, I will not hesitate to contact you about how you would like me to proceed.
Information Melanie B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should be alert for. I want to know what your pet likes so that they are happy when I come to visit.
A typical day
I love playing with and taking care of animals. I moved to Berkeley in October 2021, so am still learning about my favorite places for dog walks, but I love exploring new neighborhoods and taking dogs to parks.

Availability
I am working part-time and volunteering at an animal shelter, so have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. We can work out what visit time works best when we have our Meet and Greet, but I prefer morning and afternoons up until 4:00 p.m. if possible.
