Must Love Dogs

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been part of my life. I have a huge hart for all animals. I've been traveling to Mazatlan Mexico for many yrs and I spend my time Volunteering at the animal sanctuary there walking dogs, bathing, giving lots of love to help build trust in humans and hope to find forever loving homes. Yes and I do just want to bring them all home. Lily my 17yr old standard poodle was my last companion. I miss her greatly. I’ve been dog sitting for 6yrs now and I truly enjoy getting to know your beloved pets and adapting to there needs and personalities. Having recently had a senior dog, I am comfortable giving medication and monitoring health concerns. I look forward to meeting your loving doggy companion.

Melanie did a wonderful job with Hershey. She was very engaging and welcoming which made us feel more comfortable. I highly recommend.

Melanie was absolutely wonderful. I never used a service like Rover before, and I couldn't be happier that we had the opportunity to meet Melanie and have her care for our family dog. As much as I hate to admit it, Melanie probably took better care of her than us; she got a bath, a brush, ample walks and snuggles up on the bed. I would recommend Melanie to anybody looking for excellent care for their dog, and will certainly call on her again in the future.

Awesome. I felt totally relaxed knowing our dog would be taken care of while we away.

Melanie was fantastic with our little dog. Our dog has mobility issues and needs help with walking especially for doing her business. We got pictures of her enjoying outside time and snuggles. And when I came to pick her up, Melanie had put a path of blankets and towels down on her patio so that she could enjoy the yard without cutting up her feet because otherwise she would drag them on the concrete. Our dog even barked at me when I came to get her because she decided that she now needed to protect Melanie’s home haha. I definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future.
