Fun, Loving, Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Melanie, I have worked with/pet sat for 10 years. Your pets are treated just like they are my own! I keep their schedule the same just as you would. This is a passion of mine, and I absolutely love doing it :) I also am a Certified Dog Trainer and Vet Assistant. So not only will your pets be absolutely safe with me but I can also train them while you are away if needed! Dog Walking is also an option for any pups who have a lot of energy but owners may not have the time to walk their pups as much as they would like. Even though I do live in an apartment, your pup would get multiple walks a day and plenty of love while staying in my home. I hope to hear from you very soon and look forward to meeting your pet(s)!

Melanie was great. My pets loved her. Well taken care of. Even made friends with my shy kitty. Will definitely use again.

Melanie is my go-to dog sitter and one of the few people that I would trust with my dog. I have been using her for over 2 years and have not had any issues. My dog has Megaesophagus, which involves a strict diet and feeding process. She has been great with following my instructions and providing the care my dog needs!

Melanie is wonderful. She stayed at our house and cared for our dog and cat. She provided pictures and updates while we were away. The house was clean and organized upon us returning home. The pets were kenneled in the past and you could tell they were stressed. This is my first experience with Rover and Melanie was fantastic. Already booked her again.

Melanie was awesome! She took great care of our pit bull mix Winnie, and gave us lots of updates and pictures while we were away. And the house was spotless when we returned. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future.

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

Dogs are and always have been my specialty! As corny as it sounds I have been known to be called the dog whisperer, haha. My current clients that I have are ones that I've had since I started this business a year ago and also ones I have collected through that year. All of my clients pets are treated just like they were my own (and my own are VERY spoiled!). I always love seeing their happy faces and tails wagging when I walk into their owners home. I have never had a dog that I couldn't handle or didn't fall in love with instantly!

A typical day

My dog sitting style is always to keep a positive environment. Happy, go lucky pets are always ideal, but if someone has a pet that is a little challenging thats ok too! I offer training while you are away, so thats an option if its needed! The only kind of pet I will not watch is a pet that has a history of aggressive behavior. (side note: if you are worried about said aggressive behavior, I will help with training, and then see over the training session how the pet progresses. Then pet sitting would be an option!) Pets keep to the same schedule that you, the owner, have them on. They get walks if needed, and cuddles constantly. Pets are also never alone for more then 3 hours at a time. This is what I do for a living, and the only reason I wouldn't be present would be because I am out dog walking, so they have me all to themselves! I also provide your pet with a free bath if I am staying or doing stop in visits for a week or more! An option I also like to tell people is, if you have an energetic pet, please don't hesitate to tell me what dog parks he/she likes (if they go to one normally)! My stay with them should be as close to what they are used to as possible. Including fun trips to the dog park, or just taking a walk through the park. You and your pet won't be disappointed, I promise!
