Pet care experience

Can't wait to meet your pup/kitty!

Hi my name is Melanie and I am a responsible young adult living in Stamford, CT on the border of Darien, CT. I would love to have the opportunity to take care and meet your dogs or cats! I have been a pet owner for over 20 years and have many years of experience helping taking care of dogs and cats for friends and family. I try to be reliable, organized, and professional with all my visits. I currently have a hybrid work schedule and work from home most days of the week and have a very flexible schedule to meet your needs! I have experience administering different types of medication for dogs as well! I look forward to meeting you and your pup/kitty!

Melanie was kind and thorough for her first time watching Rosey. We hope to book her services again soon!

Schedule

In the summer I have a very relaxed work schedule with summer Fridays and long weekends off. Most days, I can visit or walk pets in the morning/afternoon/night! In the fall/winter, my schedule gets a bit busier but I will do my best to accommodate :)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Melanie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I don't have any breed preferences! I would just like to know about your dog's personality, and what they enjoy doing most! Also, does your dog get along with other dogs? Do they have any special needs? Your dog's safety is a priority for me!
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.
