College student with extra time

Pet care experience

I am a college student at Michigan State with lots of free time on my hands - and I would love to spend it hanging out with your pets! I've grown up around dogs and cats and love being around them. I genuinely enjoy the time spent with animals - it's not a chore that's rushed or obligatory. I will provide the best care that I possibly can for your pets, as well as I care for my own pets. I have worked on Rover for a few years, with many repeat clients. I have lots of experience with dogs of all ages, from brand new puppies to elderly dogs that require extra care and attention. I also love cats and will spend plenty of time caring for and playing with yours. I'd love to work with you to provide the ideal services for you and your pets :)

Always enjoy having Melanie watch Frasier. She is great at spending dedicated quality time during her visits!

Melanie was the perfect sitter for our cat Boatie. She took the time to help him feel comfortable and play with him while we were away. We would definitely use her again in the future.

Melanie took such good care of my puppy. I’m grateful for having care and a peace of mind while I’m at work. Thank you!!!
