Safety, trust & environment
I care for your fur babies in your home. Caring for them at home reduces anxiety and stress for both pet and parents. Home is where all the toys are!
Ratings and reviews
Melanie was wonderful and kind with my senior pup. She was punctual, communicative about what occurred. Will book again.
Melanie was awesome! Felt like my kitty was in good hands & appreciated the time she spent caring for him! 💜
Melanie did a great job with our cat and fish while we were gone!
This is our second time having Melanie cat & house sit for us. She took great care of the cats and the house, and she sent us multiple updates + photos and videos each day, which I love. 10/10 - highly recommend!
Always goes above and beyond for my pets!
A great lunch visit!

Schedule
I am here to love fur babies! However, what sets me apart from the other Rover caregivers? After thirteen years of personal pet care experience, I have learned to become tuned into the needs of each animal. I watch their body language, listen for the differentiation in their barks or meows and appreciate their boundaries. Just like with people, I want your pet to feel safe with me. Whether it is a quick walk, having some cuddle time or overnight stay, it all begins with building a strong relationship with you and your pet(s). I usually schedule a Meet & Greet to discuss you and your fur babies needs beforehand. I am ready to help you and your fur babies in anyway I can! I do serve at church three or four times a month. Depending on which team, my schedule maybe 6:30am - 1:30ish or 7:45am - 2ish.

- I would like to meet you and your dog and/or cat before sitting. I want to make sure I am the correct fit for you both. I have minor breed restrictions: I don't feel comfortable, yet, with Cane Corso, and Alaskan Malamutes.
