Skills

40 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I wouldn't be able to board in my own home, but can definitely do a stellar job caring for your animals in any way that is needed.

Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pup is high energy so i can bring my running shoes! If any of your animals are aggressive, knowing this ahead of time will let me prep mentally for the visit.

A typical day

Whatever pets I watch will get lots of love and affection. We'll take walks, play with toys, run around in the yard and snuggle when they are all tired from our fun day.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of puppies, handled diaper changing for a physically handicapped dog, administered medications and daily vitamins, walked multiple dogs at a time, and have handled emergency vet visits for a dog with a seizure disorder. I truly enjoy spending time caring and playing with animals, they add so much to my life.

Melanie was wonderful. She seemed kind, caring and took great care of my pets. Even my old cat, Ernest T liked her!! And most people have to come here several times before they even see him! I would definitely recommend Melanie.

Melanie was great with my dogs. This is the first time I used a dog sitter, and she did amazing. I really appreciate having her watch my fur babies. I would definitely book Melanie again if I come up in the area in the future.

Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.

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.
