Information Melanie W. would like to know about your pet

As long as they aren’t aggressive toward my pup, I love all dogs! No issues with special needs. Balto’s best friend (neighbor) previously had a spinal stroke and was about 20 pounds :)

A typical day

We go on a walk every morning before I bike. My hubby is home 12-1p and most days I work from home. I have days where I’m gone 2-3 hours. We typically have dinner by 5-6p and relax most evenings.

Pet care experience

My dog is a husky/malamute mix who is the most docile canine I’ve ever known. He can be energetic and playful with dogs of literally all sizes and personalities. I’m a real estate agent and work from home, but wake up very early! We cannot do pickups after 7p so anything late needs to be scheduled next day unless confirmed prior to booking.

My dog is missing a leg, so I'm very careful about who takes care of him when I travel for work. During my first meeting with Melanie, she took the time to make sure her dogs would interact safely with him and that there would be no issues. That immediately helped build my trust in her and the environment she provides. I was also very impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was, especially considering she has two large dogs in the house. While I was away, she sent me photos of my dog, which gave me peace of mind and showed that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Overall, I felt confident that my dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
