I love cats & dogs!
Pet care experience
I'm just an ordinary pet lover who can't currently own a pet (due to work commute), that would love to have the opportunity to walk or watch your dog when you're busy. I do have some pet experience as I have had dogs and a cat. I'm very good at following special instructions you need for your pup or senior dog. Also, I have the patience to get to know your pet if needed.
Reviews
I never once doubted that my pups were in the best hands possible! Melanie's care was wonderful and thorough to say the absolutely least. I plan on calling on her for help in the future for all things pup related!
Melanie C. is an excellent dog sitter. She did 3 drop-in visits last week with my 7 month old pup. She is trustworthy, kept me notified about how he was doing, took photos, and always did a review of her time with him each day. I am very glad I found her as she gave me piece of mind of my little fur baby while I was at work. She is very nice and caring. I would definitely utilize her services whenever I need her. She's awesome and will take great care of your dog - also, her rate can't be beat!
One word to describe Melanie: thorough. She asked good detail questions to make sure she would be able to get into our house and know exactly how, where, and when we wanted our dog walked. She left a lot of details about the walk in our message thread and left two great pictures in our Rover card, which really gave us peace of mind that Pepper was well taken care of on her walk. We would definitely book her again to walk Pepper.

Safety, trust & environment
When watching your pet in your home, I'll make sure to keep an eye on them although they may be familiar with your home I am not. So, I'll watch them like a hawk, so they don't become mischievous.
Information Melanie C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they are neutered or spayed. Also, if they have an aggression towards other dogs and how their personality is. Please let me know if they have aggression, bad habits, things they don't like, etc. I would still take care of your pup but it's good to know before-hand. No breed preferences, because all breeds are great!
A typical day
Going to your house for a walk- I can take your pup to the usual spot he or she has their walks or I can bring him/her to a park I usually take my pup to. Visiting your pup at your home- I can have some play time with him/her to get some energy out. Keep them company with toys. Cuddle with them if they need some love!
