Pet care is my passion!

Pet care experience

First time Rover clients use promo code MELANS78463 for $20 off your first booking which includes all holidays! I absolutely adore dogs and cats, I have had my own furry friends since the age of 8. I started dog sitting every weekend when I was a teenager for my next door neighbor who had 2 Dobermans and a Sheltie. I enjoy exploring trails, going for long walks, playing with dogs of all sizes and most of all giving praise, love, affection and cuddles! I have been through several advanced dog obedience classes with my own dogs who have since passed away and the training I received has been invaluable in working with clients’ own dogs. I will treat your dog like they are my own with the best care possible. I would love the opportunity to become a new friend for your furry best friend! ***ATTENTION CAT OWNERS*** As a former cat parent myself I understand what it’s like to go out of town and worry if your cat will okay during your time away. There is no need to worry, I offer drop in visits for cats as well. They will receive fresh water, food (per care instructions), scooped litter box, playtime/cuddles and anything else your purr-baby requires during each visit. Safety and health of your pets is my main priority. I care for pets based on the care plan we discussed during our Meet & Greet, being mindful of your privacy, home and property.

Melanie patiently worked with our aging pug, who is completely non-aggressive but doesn't love any aspect of grooming, to get him looking like new.

Melanie was extremely patient and loving with Charlie. Our puppy had really bad knots behind his ears. Also other knots on his legs ext. It was my first experience with home grooming. She took the time to confort my puppy and give him lots of love to reassure him that everything will be ok. I really appreciate Melanie professionalism and dedication to her job. Thank you Melanie ?

Melanie took such good care of our big kitty! It was our first time hiring a pet sitter so I was a bit nervous, but after meeting her I had no hesitations about leaving Mickey under her care. She sent lots of pictures and an update after each visit and we could tell how happy he was with her. We left some pretty detailed instructions and she followed all of them diligently. Also, she responded really quickly to all communications. Highly recommend!

A typical day

I believe pets need not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation for a happy stress-free life, no matter the age. Enrichment for mental and physical stimulation I am able to provide is not a one size fits all, it will vary depending on species, breed and age of pet, which will be discussed prior to beginning of services.
