Pet care experience

Engaged and dependable pet care!

Hi, I’m Melanie! I grew up caring for dogs and have continued building hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. In college, I became a sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I helped care for and support the training and daily routine of a guide dog in training. More recently, I’ve provided independent pet-sitting care for multiple dogs at once. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, senior-dog care, oral medication, and keeping pets on their normal routines while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m attentive, dependable, and careful to follow each owner’s instructions closely because I know every pet has their own routine and personality. I make an effort to give each pet individual attention, keep them active and comfortable, and provide updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. I also take seriously the trust involved in caring for pets in someone else’s home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces, follow household instructions, and leave things as I found them. For everyone’s safety, all dogs must be up to date on vaccinations/flea & tick treatment.

Melanie was great! She was able to schedule one more day unexpectedly. Riley was happy to see her every time. We appreciate it very much.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you have, and inform me of behaviors or special needs (allergies/medical/social) in order to ensure the most comfortable and effective experience for your pet. Other examples: Are they aggressive towards other animals (including food/toy aggression)? Are they potty trained? Do they have a specific daily routine to be followed?
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.
