Highlights
Pet care experience
I love dogs! New to Rover
In my 20s, I house and dogsat often when I was in the military for families when they were gone for the holidays. I also worked as an assistant veterinarian technician for about a year at 2 different clinics. I had a chocolate lab, who lived to be 12. I now have an 8 year old, rescue husky-mix and 3 year old brown border collie named Scout. I work full-time and have 2 children. My 13 year old daughter also helps. She has housesat for several weeks for 3 dogs and will be housesitting for 2 dogs & a cat this fall. Thank you for your consideration!

Ratings and reviews
Melanie and Marina were outstanding! They were communicative, punctual, and took such wonderful care of our dogs and hens. It's always a bit nerve racking leaving our two pups with new sitters, but they made sure to put our minds at ease. And the house was spotless when we came home! We hope to work with them again. 💛
Melanie is amazing. She dealt with our Blind, Deaf, and super skiddish dog Turbo, that we inherited when my mom passed. She also cared for our rescue cat and had her eating out of her hands. Took care of our home, pets, mail, and plants. We will definitely be using her again.
Melanie really cared for our pups and it was obvious in how comfortable they were with her. She shared updates and photos and communicated often. Melanie is friendly, reliable, and responsive - we'll definitely book again next time we go out of town!
Melanie is the friendliest person I know. She has volunteered to help watch my dogs as well as people’s pets when they go out of town for weeks at a time. She loves pets and would be a perfect pet caregiver.
Melanie took amazing care of our three cattle dogs while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Our dogs are super high energy and have a history of separation anxiety. It was our first time leaving them alone for so long, so we were initially nervous about how they would react. Turns out, we had nothing to worry about. From the start, Melanie made us feel super comfortable and confident that our puppies were in good hands. She took the time to get to know the dogs and they bonded with her quickly. She left detailed notes for us about the dogs and went above and beyond their basic needs of food and water to ensure that they had company, playtime, and stimulation every day. Not only was Melanie great with our dogs, she is an absolute pleasure to work with in general; she is very kind, patient, and empathetic with humans as well! (Our dogs say “thank you so much!”)
