Pet Friend + Gardening Enthusiast!
Pet care experience
I LOVE animals, and gardening... That's right, I'll keep your plants alive too! I'm experienced with dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even hedgehogs! Open to other critters as well, you'll just have to show me what to do. I can provide lots of cuddles and play time, and I have a history of being very reliable. My preferred locations: Bexley, Downtown, German Village, Grandview, Clintonville, Weinland Park (central Columbus). ***I LOVE travel gigs!***
Reviews
Melanie was very responsive while we were away. It was great knowing that our pup was in good hands and was able to stay in the comfort of his own home while we were away for the weekend.
Melanie took wonderful care of our girl. Walks, cuddles on the couch, and of course, some adorable photo ops! She spent lots of quality time with her and communicated quickly and effectively with me during the stay. I had no doubts our pup was in wonderful hands!
Melanie was fantastic. She was professional, and a great communicator, giving updates and pictures throughout the week. We came home to very relaxed and happy dogs and cat, and the house in great shape. I wouldn't hesitate to use Melanie in the future and made the Rover experience a great one!
This was our very first Rover experience and I'm so happy we found Melanie. We can't say enough great things about her! Aside from being so professional and easy to communicate with, she requested to meet Barker before her stay - which is so thoughtful for the dog. Unfortunately, she had a pretty scary experience while staying with Barker, our 12 year old lab. Our sweet guy suffered a stroke while she was walking him, but Melanie kept her calm and had neighbors help by staying with him while she got her car. Unable to reach us, she did not panic and drove him to our vet. She stayed with him until the vet was able to speak to us and send him off to Med-Vet. When we spoke to Melanie she was already with the Vet updated us on every detail. She sent pictures of him during transport and of him at the vet, so we were always in the loop on how he was doing even though we were several states away. We can thank her enough for the love and attention she gave our sweet buddy; your pet will be in the best hands if you choose Melanie. I won't hesitate to call on her again.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm a little OCD about safety, at home and when petsitting. Your pets will be well supervised, and your home will always be respected and kept clean. I also send pictures and videos very often!

A typical day
A typical day for your pet(s) and I would involve lots of play and cuddles! I pretty much follow the pet's schedule, as provided by the pet's mom/dad. I would be hoping for some free time during the day to do some local exploring ;) I love evening cuddles with my furry friends, and they are welcome to sleep in bed with me if that's what they like.
