Highlights
Pet care experience
Here to give love & full attention
I have taken care of dogs my entire life, and all of them have been rescue pups with very unique personalities and backgrounds. Because of this, I'm a patient and loving pet parent. I have taken care of senior dogs, and those with health challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with incontinence issues, and I've changed lots of doggie diapers (disposable and washable). Outside of my full-time job, I work as a volunteer & social media manager for a St. Louis-based dog rescue group.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, with an additional dog-friendly area (with dog grass) in case of inclement weather. Does your pup wear potty pants or a belly band? No worries, they'll be cared for - just like I care for my own.
Ratings and reviews
Melanie took excellent and living care of my little guy. She sent a photo or video every one of the 16 days he was with her plus a daily update. She has a huge fenced backyard too!
She good care of our dog Lily. She sent pictures and videos.
Melanie did a great job with my Yorkie. She kept me informed throughout his stay. I came back to a happy energetic pet. I highly recommend her. Hopefully, she will be available the next time need a sitter.
Melanie is great! My Annie has terrible separation anxiety and Melanie kept her close and comforted. Will definitely be using her again!
Melanie was fantastic with my dog, Monty. I enjoyed receiving multiple updates and lots of photos to let me know he was doing okay. I highly recommend using Melanie.
Melanie is wonderful. You will not go wrong having Melanie watch your pets. She has been a volunteer with American Eskimo Rescue St. Louis for 12 years and has taken care of our two social media accounts. Melanie has shown much love and care to her own rescued dogs as well as to the association's rescue dogs. Melanie has helped with our funding events, too! I highly recommend Melanie for Rover.com!
