Pet care experience
I'm new to CO (just moved here from Pasadena, CA), but not new to pet sitting/walking, and would love to be the go-to for you and your pets. I'm very quick to respond and communicate well. If you're new to Rover as well, use the promo code below to get $20 off your first booking through me. :) Your Promo Code: MELANR59160 Growing up, I was lucky enough that my parents allowed my sisters and I to explore what it meant to have and care for different animals (parakeets, rats, hamsters, rabbits, a very loyal lab, and currently my sweet cat Tiger Lily seen in the pictures). I love animals and hope to care for yours as well. I have experience working with my sister's german shepard puppy and helping them train him along the way. I respect whatever commands your pet may already have and will make sure to use them to help keep consistent training.
Reviews
Melanie was the best doggy and house sitter we've ever had. I have never felt so at ease being out of town. She spoiled our dogs and gave us frequent updates and pics. She took care to ask any questions that came up as needed and always responds very quickly. She also tidied up the house, took trash/recycle out, spot mopped. She is fantastic. I hope we can keep calling on her in the future.
Melanie was great! She was very kind and respectful of our house. She cleaned up before she left and was amazing with our animals! She sent pictures daily and let me know how everything was going throughout the trip. We will definitely have her again watch our pets again.
Melanie was responsive and communicated well. She took our dogs on walks which we appreciated. When we came back from our trip our dogs were happy and our house was in the same condition we left it in- much appreciated the vacuuming as dog hair can build up and laundering/making the guest bed!
Melanie was great! She communicated very well and took great care of our girls...2 cats and six chickens :) She updated us with pictures and always asked questions if she was unsure of something. We will definitely be booking Melanie again to watch our animals. Thanks, Melanie!
About Melanie R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every animal as if it were my own. I will leave your house better than you left it as well as make sure your pet is fed, loved, played with, and always made to feel safe with me.
Information Melanie R. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog require any special medication? Does it have any injuries or illnesses I need to be aware of? And how does your dog do on leash with other dogs/kids/people?
A typical day
I have watched animals with all sorts of personalities and love the uniqueness of each one. Depending on what you want for your beloved pet, I can adjust to your schedule for them. I have watched dogs where I walked them three times a day, a mile each walk. I have also watched dogs where I would swim them in the pool as exercise. Other times, we'd go on two potty breaks and then they just wanted to cuddle and hang inside (often the older dogs).
