Holiday availability for your pet!

Pet care experience

Travel anywhere with peace of mind, knowing your pet will get safe and reliable care from me. I offer 5-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 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 not our initial sitter when we left the country for 2 weeks on our honeymoon, but when issues arose with the sitter we hired, Melanie stepped in to provide the comforting experience we desperately needed. She was immediately proactive in ensuring a smooth transition, she was empathetic to our situation and needs, and she was a highly responsible when it came to taking care of our home. On top of it all, Melanie clearly had love for our two dogs and gave them the attention and care they needed. The relief we gained when Melanie stepped in to help while we were abroad was invaluable. We would hire Melanie again in a heartbeat.

Melanie is a nothing short than a blessing in human form. There was an issue with the kennel bookings and we were lost on what to do next, but luckily Melanie was able to take us last minute. Not only was she very accommodating with our drop off time, but she was also very on top of all medication request and sending cute photos of her puppy, Poppy, and Skippy chilling as they watched reality TV. Not only is she very sweet to talk to, but Skippy came back very refreshed and jumping with joy. Usually he can't leave a kennel fast enough, but as we picked him up, he kept trying to run back to Melanie hahaha, and if that isn't an A++ grade for character than we don't know what is. Will def be booking with her again in the future!

Melanie is an AMAZING sitter! She is always communicative and thorough. She would send lots of pictures and made sure to follow instructions. My dog has specific medicines that need time between and she follows them to the T. My dog loves her and I will use her every time I need a sitter. Thank you Melanie!

Melanie is the most wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter! I was nervous about traveling and leaving my older dog behind, but Melanie assured me, having an older dog of her own, that my baby was in good hands. My dog warmed up to her right away and Melanie sent me daily updates letting me know that she was doing great. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Melanie!
