Animal lover with flexible schedule

Pet care experience

Please note: I work in Park City Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. I'm available to house sit or board these days, but your pet will need to be okay with being at home alone from about 6:30am to 5:30pm if you are booking with me on the days I work. I would be with them all day long on Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday. My family got our first dog when I was 12. I was volunteering at our local animal shelter and absolutely fell in love with Winnie. My mom agreed that we could take this pup home, so long as I promised to take care of her and take her on all her walks. I've lived in Utah for the past 6 years or so, and now I live with my partner and Daisy in Sugarhouse. Daisy is a spry 8-year-old dog that gets along well other dogs and cats. She loves to howl hello when anyone comes in the house and likes to play, but is also very respectful of other animals' space. For any pets staying at my home, we would like to make an introduction to ensure they get along with Daisy before confirming the stay. I frequently dog sit for my friends when they go out of town and Daisy gets along with them really well. I love taking dogs out for long walks or runs, and am also familiar with taking care of dogs that need special care like taking pills. I know how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands while you are away from home, so you can expect pictures and updates from me daily! I look forward to helping you give your dog the care they need when you are away from home 🐾

Melanie has been fantastic with taking care of my foster dog. She always follows instructions and I would highly recommend her for any Rover pet care services!

Melanie was fantastic! She took care of my boys over the Christmas Holiday. She sent updates daily; and took care of my home. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, I’d highly recommend booking Melanie. I will definitely book her again.
