Holiday availability for your pet!
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 has lots of flexibility, so your furry family member will have plenty of company and love. 🐾 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?

Ratings and reviews
Melanie took amazing care of our pup, Harlow, while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure Harlow was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Harlow is very attached to us, so it meant so much that Melanie was able to make her feel comfortable and at ease while we were gone. She even took her on a hike! Melanie was also a great communicator and so easy to work with. She sent us lots of updates and photos throughout our stay, which gave us such peace of mind. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! We couldn’t recommend Melanie more and would absolutely have her watch Harlow again!

Melanie was wonderful with our puppy, Mac. She took true joy in him from the moment she met him. She sent me updates with pictures and videos when me she was with him. Melanie was a pleasure to meet and we will definitely have her come hang with Mac again!

This was our very first time using Rover and we couldn’t have gotten luckier! Melanie made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, as one of our dogs is very particular on who she likes. Our dog liked her immediately and that was such a great feeling! Melanie sent updates and photos every single day and that made leaving them so much easier! Both of our dogs seemed to genuinely love having her there with them and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dogs and our home! We will most definitely be booking with Melanie again!


Melanie was awesome! She was very communicative, which was great. We got lots of pictures, our pups were super happy, and our house was somehow cleaner than when we left it. We’ve already asked her to come back again!

Melanie was the best Rover we’ve ever worked with! She sent multiple updates daily, kept our house neat and tidy, and made our pup feel very comfortable while we were away! Will absolutely work with her again!

Melanie did an amazing job caring for Rocky! She was excellent communicating with us while we were away and gave Rocky lots of attention and pets. Would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and we’ll be booking her again.
