I would love to love your dog!

Pet care experience

I recently lost a loving Doberman. She lived a long and happy life and I was especially glad I was able to spend her last year with her at home, working remotely. We would walk 2-3 times a day around our neighborhood, smelling all the good smells and soaking up any weather. I miss her dearly and am hoping to share some of my love with your pets, in her absence. In my adult years, I raised a Chihuahu, Doberman and four cats - we are currently raising a bearded dragon as well! I have two self-sufficient teenagers at home. Let me help you in my free time! I do work full time and have returned to the office M-F but have flexibility in my off hours and plenty of love to give. I have been boarding dogs through Rover since May 2021 and have really enjoyed getting to know each pup along the way. It's been a fulfilling experience for me all around. Hobbies include running, puzzles, hanging out with my teenage kids (raised them OK too;)), reading, dancing and house projects. I am open to house sitting full time most weekends I live near Sacajawea Middle School, off Grand and maintain 7-4 schedule at work.

Melanie did a great job watching Boone for the first time. Great communication. I’ll definitely have her watch him again!

There is no one else I will go to first! Not only was Melanie super communicative, my anxiety riddled pup warmed right up to the warmth found in Melanie’s home.

Melanie was great with Milo! She took him and walks and gave him a lot of attention. Would definitely recommend!

Melanie was wonderful to work with. Great communicator, dependable and kind. She looked after our dog for a week and it gave us such peace of mind to know that our dog was safe, had a large backyard to explore, and calm. We are so grateful we found her on Rover!

Information Melanie P. would like to know about your pet

It's great to know what special habits your dog is used to ahead of time, if there are any special rules you'd like me to follow and if your dog gets along well with cats.

A typical day

Morning and evening walks around the neighborhood are a must but I also have a large backyard that is perfect for getting out some energy.
