Availability

I am a full-time pet care provider, so pet care is the center of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around client visits, which allows me to offer consistent availability throughout the day. I plan my days carefully to ensure each pet receives focused, unhurried attention and reliable timing for every visit. I also maintain flexibility for last-minute needs when my schedule allows.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions precisely, maintain a secure environment, and communicate clearly throughout the visit. I’m attentive to safety protocols, entry/exit procedures, and minimizing stress for pets while their owners are away.

Information Mélanie G. would like to know about your pet

Before any booking, I review each pet’s routine, behavioral tendencies, medical needs, and home protocols in detail. Clear expectations and thorough information allow visits to run efficiently and safely within the scheduled time. Please share feeding instructions, leash behavior, known triggers, medication requirements, and entry procedures in advance. I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication to ensure your pet’s care is seamless and stress-free.

A typical day

Walks and visits are structured around your pet’s energy level and needs. This may include enrichment-focused walks, structured exercise, feeding, medication, litter maintenance, or play sessions. My goal is always to provide quality care within the scheduled time frame.

The Best Care For Your Best Friend

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Mélanie (but prefer to go by my middle name, Sivan), a Baltimore-based pet care professional with over 10 years of hands-on experience in the industry. In addition to freelance and private care, I’ve worked as an operations manager for a local dog walking company, overseeing scheduling, client communication, and high-volume care logistics. I’m certified in pet and human first aid and have experience with puppies, seniors, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and other exotic pets. My approach is calm, structured, and attentive. I tailor each visit to your pet’s routine and temperament, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met within the time booked. Many of my clients have worked with me long-term because they value reliability, communication, and consistency. You can expect detailed updates, thoughtful care, and a professional who respects both your home and your pet’s routine.

Sivan is fantastic and takes great care of my Boston Terrier, Max. She provides updates with pictures and Max loves her. Your dog will, too!

This was our first time using this service. Melanie was excellent and made us feel very comfortable leaving Hugo in her care. She made sure to keep us updated everyday. So many cute pictures that just reassured us he was ok and happy. We will definitely be requesting her services again!

Mélanie was so wonderful with our senior tri-pawd. She sent us regular updates and very cute pictures during her stay. She left our house neat and our pet very happy.

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.
