Safety, trust & environment

I always meet the pet at their house before their humans go away. That way they can meet me if they don’t know me and I can learn their daily routine so that their schedule doesn’t change

Information Melanie K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal needs any special support, I have worked with deaf dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety, especially with separation from their humans

A typical day

I love playing fetch or using other interactive toys with them. I am willing to take them on car rides if they enjoy that or to a local park

Pawsitively perfect pet sitting

Pet care experience

I have enjoyed pet sitting for family and friends animals for over 15 years now. Each pet I treat like they were my own and give them all the love they need while their humans are away. I do have a slight allergy to cats. However I still love them and are able to look after them as well if there are cats in the home with other animals. I am open to taking care of all types of animals as well!

Melanie is the BEST! You can tell she is really a dog person and my fur babies LOVED her. My dogs can be really needy with attention and cuddles, and Melanie was happy to oblige. I felt so comfortable with them in her care. She was kind, responsive, and respectful. I will definitely be hiring her again!

Melanie was outstanding with Waldo, building instant rapport and handling his daily routine for more than two weeks. Daily pictures and contact made being away more tolerable. We came back to our home and dog as if we’d just left the day before. We would highly recommend Melanie as a dog and house sitter without reservation.

Melanie was great with our dog Bru! She stayed at our home for a week and took care of our lab Bru. Bru was well taken care of and loved his time with Melanie! We didn’t have to worry at all while on our vacation as she is very dependable, trustworthy and a great person. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet!

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.
