Pet care experience

full-time dog mom, at your service!

I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom of three dogs. My husband works, and I take care of the house and the dogs so I can easily accommodate your pets’ schedule. I know the feeling of being excited to go on vacation but stressing about the well-being of your pets. And I know what it’s like to be in an office all day worrying about how your pets are doing. I will provide lots of loving attention to cure their boredom and ease their/your anxiety. And the best part? They get cared for in THEIR OWN HOME. Pets are family members. They deserve the best. I promise to send you lots of pictures of your pets saying hi during every visit! Schedule a meet and greet today!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Our pets miss us when we’re away, but that doesn’t mean they have to spend that time bored and alone, or feeling insecure in some strange place. While you work to provide a better life for your pets or while on your well-deserved vacation, your pets will be receiving excellent care and the human attention they crave, all in their own home. This includes giving them love and encouragement, of course food and water, walks, litter box clean-up, poop scooping, practicing or learning basic commands, hair brushing, playing with toys, administering oral medications or supplements, etc. as instructed! overall, showing them lots of affection to comfort them while they’re missing you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Schedule a meet and greet today!

Melanie did absolutely amazing with our 2 pups! This was our first time using Rover and I wasn’t sure what to expect but we will absolutely be hiring Melanie again! The updates on the report cards and all she did was incredible. Thank you so much.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure each of them was well taken care of, comfortable and loved. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and that means everything. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring.

Melanie watched my puppy and I couldn’t be more pleased! She gave him a bath which was really sweet. She takes lots of cute pictures, is an experienced dog owner, and I know I can trust her with my dog! She is super sweet and loves my dog as if it were hers.

Beforehand, feel free to give me as much information as you need! The more I know, the better I can care for and play with your pet. Information such as their daily routine, favorite toys, how they like to play, how they like to be pet, any fears, what makes them feel comfortable, any pills or supplements they take, where they eat, and which commands you use. Is the backyard secure? Are they allowed on furniture? Do they have any medical issues? Are they ever aggressive with other pets in the house? Can they become food aggressive? Every pet has a unique personality! I want to provide care that is tailored to your pet.
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.
