Animals are my spirit animal(s)!

Please read the following asterisked items below before committing to a booking: *For your pets, home safety, and my own safety, I require a quick meet and greet before confirming a booking. No exceptions. I appreciate your understanding!* *Please note: I am only available between the hours of 5pm - 8pm on weekdays (occasionally I will take a lunch drop-in if it is convenient to my work location in Stevensville). My weekend availability is usually flexible and reflects correctly on the calendar. Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate overnight sittings, however I will consider multiple drop-ins on the weekends (early morning through late night) if you are within a few miles of my home in Grasonville. Please feel free to reach out with your needs and I will let you know what I can do! —————————————————————- Chances are, I like your pets more than I like you! Just kidding! But in all seriousness, they are the best. Nothing heals a bad day like a tail wagging pup overcome with excitement at the sight of you walking through the door. I grew up with both dogs and cats, a ferret, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I’ve volunteered at several animal shelters throughout the years. I believe myself to be an excellent caregiver, with an abundance of patience, and a keen sense of what animals need and want. I would treat them just as I would treat my own, with just as much love, play time, and snuggles. I am very comfortable with administering medication and tending to any medical/health needs. My family and I are now offering boarding at our home in Grasonville, MD (we are currently pet-free). Please reach out for specific details!

Melanie is terrific. She was very caring and sweet with this tiny little shy and nervous dog. She was responsive reliable and pro.pt and sent reports regularly

I would like to know all the small details about what your dogs preferences are in terms of play and affection. It’s also important to know if they are not animal or human friendly so that I can prepare for that situation on walks.
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.
