Pet care experience

30 year old dog mom and wife

I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats and house sitting ever since I was about 8-10 years old. I have SO much love for animals of all kinds and I especially have a soft spot for dogs in my heart. My husband and I would absolutely love to watch or help care for your pet whenever needed. I can adapt to any situation or circumstance you request to make sure your pet is well looked after and taken care of. I promise to give them all my love and care, and keep strong communication with you. I have one dog, a golden retriever, to keep your pet company and play with. I can easily watch both crate trained or non-crate trained pets. My husband and I are newly moving to State College, PA. We’re new in the area and don’t officially move in until August 15 so we can’t provide any care until after that date.

Doggy Day Care • déc. 22, 2025

Melanie and Doran couldn’t have been more perfect!! They were so kind and made my dog feel right at home. They were super attentive and gave lots of updates and pictures which made my day! I am so grateful for this help! My pup is pretty anxious and he settled right in!

This is my 2nd or 3rd time using Melanie to check on my kitty - she is awesome! My baby loves her. Melanie is super responsive and has done a great job every time. I will keep booking her as long as she’s available!!

Melanie was great with Stassi! My girl was so comfortable with her I went ahead and rebooked her for the following week for a last minute trip! Thank you so much Melanie!

Please let me know if your dog would get along with my dog okay. It would also be helpful to know how often they eat and when, how often they would need a potty break, and if you allow them on furniture or not.
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.
