Pet care experience

Would love to play with your pup!

I grew up with dogs and am familiar with their care and daily needs ☺️ I am most familiar with larger breeds such as goldens and labs, but I love all dogs and am up for a challenge!

I take queues from pets (and owners, obviously) to tell me what they need. Especially with cats, I am familiar with their behavior and patterns to discern what they need.

Melanie is one of the few people that I fully trust with my pup, Olive. She has watched him lots of times over the years (puppy years through adulthood) and I’ve never had any worries or concerns (which says a lot because I am a worrier). I’ve seen her interact with small dogs, big dogs, and cats. She’s always attentive, reliable, and responsible. It is obvious that she genuinely loves animals. I can not recommend her enough as a pet sitter :)

Schedule

I’m currently working full-time from 8-5, but have an hour lunch, however, that will include drive time. I’m happy to do drop-in visits throughout the day, or house-sitting but cannot accommodate much in the afternoon during the week beyond driving over to let pets out for a few minutes. I do not work on the weekends and, with adequate notice, should be able accommodate almost anything on the weekends

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Melanie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If they need any meds! I have never given an injection but am not opposed to learning. Also if they have any allergies I should know about, or injuries.
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.
