When you need to go away and not have to worry about your pet, Melanie will not only take care of baby, she goes above and beyond with love for your pet. Kobe was very well taken care of, she even slept on the coach to stay with him. Who does that? SHE DOES!!! Thanks again Melanie. Xo

Melanie was beyond amazing! I have a German Shepard, Belgium malinois mix and I have to say Melinie treated her wonderfully! I used her for 5 days of boarding. She was very attentive to my Summer girl and she was very quick with her responses when I would send a text. I absolutely loved the daily pictures! My girl looked like she was having a great time! I would absolutely use Melanie again and I recommend her to anyone that is in the process of looking for a dog sitter.

Melanie was great and Diogi had a great time. Her yard had plenty of space for Diogi to run around. Melanie was great with updates and sent plenty of pictures of Diogi to keep me informed. I would use Melanie again and would recommend to anyone! Thank you Melanie for taking good care of Diogi.

Schedule

I am retired so I am home most of the time, your fur baby will always have someone here, whether myself, husband or mom. I recently purchased a doggie door, so they will have the opportunity to be inside or out whenever they want.

A typical day

Besides eating homemade food that i cook special for them, haha, we will play ball, fetch and whatever they enjoy. I think the most fun will be belly rubs and doggy massages.

The most important information for me to know as your dog's temporary caregiver is medical history. If your dog needs special care, or if I need to be mindful of certain health concerns, I want to be sure that I can be there for your dog to the fullest extent. Additionally, if there is something that your dog specifically enjoys, i.e. tummy rubs, playing fetch, etc. then I would love to know so that I can provide him/her with the best experience possible.
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.
