Pet care experience

Reliable, kind, trusting caregiver

I've enjoyed caring for dogs and cats both in their home and mine for over 4 years. I welcome the opportunity to provide you the best care and attention to your family pets. I have a large yard to walk your dogs and can crate your pets if needed. I enjoy going for walks with leash or we have a cable for them to be on. Caring for your dogs/cats is currently my full time job. I'm very grateful for this opportunity to help others with their animals. I have great references as well. We have a large yard and a couple tie outs off the back of the house. Also have a couple larger & smaller crates in the basement if necessary. Animals are allowed anywhere in the house but they don't get table scraps. I will also utilize your requests for your home when staying there with your animals.

Melanie did an excellent job caring for our dog and cat in our home while we were away for 3 1/2 weeks. She was very responsive to communication and sent many photos. When we arrived home, the house was spotless, the laundry was done, and the pets were happy!

Melanie went above and beyond caring for your pups over the holidays. She worked with both pups & their special needs. She is so caring and loving for our pups. She treats them as her own.

Melanie is fabulous! She not only takes care of your animals but also your home. Clean as a whistle when we got home! She takes our busy schedule of a home and turns it into a wonderful clean space to return to. Making the feeling of returning home from "oh I have to do all of this when I get home" to oh man, this is lovely!!!! So relaxing and our animals were very cared for, absolutely. I would definitely recommend Melanie, however, we might just want to keep her to ourselves!!!! Great experience!!

Our first experience using Rover.com and Melanie and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how well it went. Melanie was wonderful, kept us updated on how our dog, Nellie, was doing and sent photos of a very happy Nellie on walks, snuggling, and playing with toys. It put our minds at ease knowing Nellie was in such good hands while we were away and we are grateful to Melanie for taking such good care of our “baby”. I highly recommend Melanie and know we will be calling on her anytime we are in need of care for Nellie. Thank you Melanie!!
