Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel comfortable in their environment. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes and playtime based on each pet’s personality. I can keep owners updated with photos and messages. I always respect the home and carefully follow any instructions provided.

Information Melanie G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any special needs or medication that they need to take at certain times. I will accommodate and ensure they are taken care of.

A typical day

I would play fetch, bring them to their favorite dog park, go on neighbourhood walks, if people watching is their jam i will be doing that with them and any recommendations from pet parents.

Melanie was amazing!! She looked after our 9 month old German Shepherd for nearly a full day/night on short notice, and was wonderful in every way. She was terrific to communicate with, sent photos throughout the day, and ensured our pets were very well taken care of. We had full peace of mind knowing she was here, and would gladly hire her again!!

We had such a great experience having Melanie look after our dog, Finn, while we were out at the game last night. Finn had spinal surgery in early February, so this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since then — and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. Melanie took the time to come by the day before to go through everything, asked all the right questions, and made sure she understood his routine and needs. During the visit, she followed all instructions perfectly, sent photos, and provided frequent updates, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear Finn was in great hands the entire time. We would 100% recommend Melanie and will definitely be using her again!

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.
