Pet care experience

I’d love to meet your furbabies!

Hello! Thank you for considering my husband and I as an option to care for your fur babies while you're gone! My husband and I have 8 dogs and 2 cats. Our circus/tribe/pack includes: Two 11 year old dogs (Indy and Waylon) Two 7 year old dogs (Pepper and Major) Two 5 year old dogs (Cow and Sir) Two 4 year old dogs (Chip and Riley) and our cats, Moo and Gumdrop, who are also 5 years old. We would love to drop in on your furbabies in your house for a check in and/or walk, and provide them with love, and the best care like we do for our own. Your pet will have snuggle time, play time, and love (based on their comfort level and preferences, of course).

Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pups on such short notice! 10/10 will be rebooking with Melanie again whenever we need a pet sitter!

Melanie was amazing! My little guy is a handful and she handled him so well. He loved it. She took pictures and sent me updates. I will use her again for sure!

Very satisfied! Melanie did an outstanding job taking care of my pets. She was very attentive and observant to their needs to provide them with the best care possible each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with their pets!

Melanie was GREAT with our pup. She checked in every visit, sent lots of pictures, descriptions and went the extra mile every visit! I cannot recommend her enough, will definitely be using her in the future!

Melanie is a great! She met Haley before we left, and definitely knows how to interact with dogs. My dog is very shy and barks until she feels comfortable. Melanie sent pictures and texts to interact with me every time she visited. I felt 100% comfortable with her watching our fur baby!

I would like to know general information about a pet before sitting. This includes special diet, health information, quirks/personality traits, etc. I would also like to meet and greet, especially with dogs, but also preferred with cats. I don't discriminate on breed here! Doggie kisses and cuddles come in all forms!!! I'll take as much as I can get!!
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.
