Pet care experience

Doggy Foster Mom that hikes a lot

As a dedicated pet lover in the Green Bay area, I treat every furry friend who stays with me like a member of my own family. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a refreshing neighborhood walk, or dedicated overnight care, they’ll receive individual love and tail-wagging fun. When hosting in my own, I only host one client family at a time to create a non crowded, multi-dog stress for your pups. I'm flexible and happy to step in for last-minute plans or emergencies. Custom routines to match your dog's specific energy level, breed traits, and age. Im an experienced foster parent: I understand every pet comes with unique backgrounds, nervous habits, or special care needs and I adapt accordingly.

Melanie was great with our pup! We got so many updates and photos. It was obvious how much she loves and cares for animals.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 05, 2026

Melanie took great care of Sadie. Sadie had an amazing time working on new commands/tricks, getting her zoomies out in the yard, and playing with puzzle toys! I would 100% recommend Melanie to anyone looking for daycare or other services. She was very responsive and a pleasure to have watch Sadie.

Wonderful experience with Melanie! Booked her last minute due to us moving and she was able to take Leia in. And sent pictures and updates throughout the day!

House Sitting • Apr 25, 2019

Took wonderful care of our large, spoiled, dog and two cats. Received daily reports and pictures. It was great having a house sitter. I would definitely recommend Melanie to all and would welcome her to again care for our precious pets.

Schedule

Pet care is my main focus, allowing me to give your dog full, undivided attention. Because I only host one client family at a time, my daily schedule completely revolves around your pet's normal routine for feeding, play, and walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. As a foster parent, I'm experienced in reading body language and helping pets feel secure. In my home, they enjoy a quiet, stress-free environment with no other client dogs; in your home, I follow your exact house rules to keep their environment familiar.

Pets

A typical day

Daily neighborhood walks, backyard fetch, interactive puzzle toys, and plenty of belly rubs. I tailor the fun to your pet’s energy level—from active play sessions for high-energy breeds to low-impact enrichment and cozy cuddle time for seniors.

I like to know their feeding schedule, favorite games, medical/dietary needs, and any triggers (like leash reactivity, fear of storms, or nervousness around strangers). Knowing their history helps me provide the most comfortable care 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.
