Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-lover here for you
I have years of experience with large breed dogs, and now a standard poodle puppy of my own! My long haired chihuahua recently passed away at 15, so I have plenty of experience with small dogs. I love dogs, truly, and even the parts that aren’t great like my when my super senior chihuahua was still alive and needed extra care that comes with old age or cleaning up puppy messes. I’m experienced in dog medical issues, pill times, vet visits, surgeries, heart problems, and even the dog Heimlich maneuver. I work full time from 0600-2:30 pm usually, with weekends free. I’m available before work if you live close to me or my job by the RNO airport and I’m free after 4 pm. I have some flexibility the closer to me or my workplace you are! I do not have a yard at my apartment but there is a dog park on-site! Multiple walks a day, including my lunch for puppy time, if crating is needed please bring the crate with the dog as my chihuahua does not get crated and my puppy only crates at night. I do allow dogs on furniture, and if a large puppy or small dog breed of chihuahua makes you or your dog nervous for home stays, I am willing to do a meet-and-greet first. Once you meet my chihuahua his well-trained and gentle manner will speak for itself. My puppy is a sweetheart who is eager to please!

Took good care of my kitty cat
Excellent! My two boys loved her. She was on top of all their needs, she sent us lots of pictures, and updated us on walks and moods. We felt our boys were in very good hands. I would have her Rover for us again hands down!
Melanie was fantastic. We had a great meet and greet before she watched our cat Draka for three days. Each day she sent us updates and gave our kitty the care she needed (had to have oral medication once a day). Melanie was super friendly and it was awesome to have her come over.
Melanie was the best Rover i’ve had in a long time. Great communication and attention to detail was amazing. Felt like it was me there :,) Thanks girl
Melanie was incredible with my cat! She was on time, good at communicating, and took amazing care of Halle. I will be using her again in the future!
Thank you again!!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always ask if there is a yard and if it’s fenced. I like to know where leashes and bags are for walks too! Toys and treats, especially for kitties, are important!

A typical day
The Reno area is amazing for great dog walks! I do have an on-site dog park and plenty of dog spots but if you have a dog park you prefer that’s cool too just let me know! I love to play fetch with dogs, work on skills as needed like sit and I love when dogs show off tricks! Bring toys especially your dog’s favorite, chewing toys approved by owner always an option
