Loving Care for Your FurBabies

I used to work at daycare with all kinds of dogs and cats including seniors. I have a big passion for animals and know how to administer medication if needed. I’ve helped out family and friends with their pets including feeding, potty breaks, playing outside with them, etc.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For clients, I usually stick to schedule with their feeding, potty breaks, etc. I like to keep their food and water bowls clean every time to prevent them from being sick. I take them outside for potty breaks and play with for about 30-40 minutes unless it’s too hot or cold. I also like to keep the owner updated on how their pets are doing and send pictures.

Melanie made our first Rover experience great! She sent many photos and updates which made us feel so much better about leaving our dogs for the first time. We are confident they were very well taken care of. We would gladly book her again!!

She was amazing with my 4 fur babies. They warmed up to her very fast and she was able to care for them and follow their routine. She sent me lots of pictures and kept me posted if they ate. When I got home the house was just how I left it. Definitely will be working with her again!
