Pet care experience

I love animals and they love me

Animals have always been a part of my life and family. I find a lot of joy in caring for them and appreciate the reciprocal relationship that develops with them over time. No matter what mood I’m in, my interactions with animals often leave me in a positive state of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

My landlord does not permit animals in the building, so I would have to come where your animals are. I can either walk a dog from your home, stop by for feedings , or house-sit as needed.

This was my 2nd time booking with Melanie and it was great! Very communicative and provided steady updates and photos of my cat. Thank you 😊

Melanie was super communicative and did great with my kitty! I was super nervous about using Rover for the first time with him but she really helped ease my nerves during my weekend trip!

Melanie applies a great deal of experience in a thoughtful, caring way. She knows what questions to ask, maintains communication, and is easy to work with. Looking forward to leaving my dog with her again!

Schedule

I work full time, Mon-Fri from 8-4:30. Any time outside of this I am happy to work doing sitting or walking, and I’m open to staying overnight. I can be somewhat flexible with your needs. I am looking to supplement my income, but also just really enjoy having animals in my life and can’t have them in my own home.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Melanie can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
General attitude and friendliness levels would be good to know, and any illnesses or injuries to be aware of. Diet and normal amount of daily activity would help me know what would be doable and pleasant for them :)
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
