I mean, who doesn’t love dogs?

Pet care experience

I have two dogs; a German Shepherd and a Cocker Spaniel mix. The German Shepherd has permanently floppy ears and the small cocker is a total diva-princess. I have volunteered at many dog rescues and have been dog sitting since I was 13. I’m not afraid to clean up “accidents” and have experience with dog training (I have been to many classes and trained my own dogs). Patience is key, and I certainly do my best. I will treat your dog the way I would treat my own (like royalty). I have a big enough car that is perfect for car rides to the park. I have grown up with dogs and know they will always be in my life. I just really love dogs.

Melanie is our favorite catsitter. We all love her, especially the furry members of the household. She sends great photos, keeps the crew healthy and happy, and always goes the extra mile. We love her!

Melanie was great! She was on top of everything. I have used Rover sitters for the past 2 years and Melanie is by far the best one I have had yet. Our dog is a senior and she was very compassionate to him. Thank you Melanie.

Information Melanie O. would like to know about your pet

Do they need to be on lead at all times? Are they good with other dogs? What level of exercise do they need? Any medical conditions?

A typical day

There is school with a huge field 5 minutes from my house. I love taking dogs to the beach, and they seem to really love it there. I’ll make sure to not give them back all sandy. There are also hiking places that allow dogs, around 10 minutes from me.
