Pet care experience

Travel anywhere with peace of mind, knowing your pet will get safe and reliable care from me. I offer 10-minute Zoom or FaceTime calls to get to know me before hiring me 👋🏼 🐶 Reasons Why I’m a Trusted Sitter: 🐾 Lots of Attention For Your Pet 🐾 My schedule is very flexible. I work remotely so I’ll have lots of time to spend with your furry (or feathery/scaley) family member. 🐾 Medical Care Options 🐾 Although I'm not a vet or vet tech, your pet's safety is my #1 priority. With my experience through my senior pup Poppy's chronic illnesses, I can administer various types of meds and attend to pets with extra support needs. I can likely accommodate what you need so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure. 🐾 Happy to Accommodate 🐾 Experience less stress when saying ‘see you later’ to your fur baby. If you want frequent updates, let me know. If you have a specific schedule you want your pet to follow, I’ll make it happen. 🐾 Genuine Love and Respect 🐾 Your pet will receive my attention and care (and snuggles, if they want!) while in your home. I will interact with them to the level that makes them feel the most comfortable and respected. 🐾 I Build Connections 🐾 Some animals are hesitant when their usual human or humans are replaced by a stranger for a while. I am very patient and take the time to build a relationship with your pet so they feel comfortable with me. 💵 First time booking on Rover? Book with code MELANL09725 for $20 off! 💵 Please be aware that for medical reasons, I can’t house sit for any homes that are smoked in (vape is okay) 🚬🚫

Melanie was fantastic! She took great care of Riley and left the house perfectly clean. She was a great communicator and sent lots of photos. Will definitely book with her again.

Melanie was an excellent caregiver for Ollie. She embraced his quirks, gave him medications, took him on walks and communicated well, putting me at ease during a two week overseas travel. She also took good care of our home. Thank you Melanie!

Melanie is always so accommodating and a pleasure to work with! We needed someone to come watch our 3 pups for several hours on pretty last-minute notice, and Melanie was able to step in - once again. She is a great communicator, sends us all the updates we could want, she's a tidy and respectful house guest, and our dogs love her! Thank you, Melanie!!

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.
