Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment complex in Cary by the lake. There plenty of area outside for potty breaks as well as a safe area to make sure they get their walks if needed!

Information Melanie E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs ahead of time that way I can prepare. Also, any requests would be appreciated in a written list or text so I can ensure the best care.

A typical day

I love going on runs or walks. Taking dogs out in the backyard to play or just to the park is always a great time for them physically. With cats, I like to engage with them using their toys or just making them feel comfortable.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Melanie! I recently moved to North Carolina from Tennessee for my husband’s job and to continue my education. I’m a registered nurse working PRN and have been on Rover for several years, caring for pets of all kinds! I have a special heart for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them and getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two cats of my own, Bell and Leia, who are very loved! I also have a soft spot for stray and community cats and helped care for a local cat colony back in Tennessee. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for your pets, and I always strive to treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾

Melanie was absolutely fantastic. Punctual, great communication and the furry babies took to her immediately. Would HIGHLY recommend her, unless it's when I need her. Thanks so much Melanie!

Melanie was very communicative, asked questions and send pictures. I came home to a happy kitty. Would hire again!
