Safety, trust & environment

I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for right at home. I’ll stick to their routine, whether that means walks, meals, crate time, or anything else that helps them feel secure and happy. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how things are going. If with me I have a large neighborhood and a front yard so walks and potty breaks should be very fun and mentally stimulating.

Information Melanie W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or behaviors I should be aware of. I want to make sure they feel totally comfortable and understood while you're away.

A typical day

I love to keep your dog engaged both physically and mentally. We’ll play fun games, go on sniff-filled walks around the neighborhood, and if they’re up for it, explore a nearby park. I make sure every day feels fun, safe, and enriching for them.

Pet care experience

Ive lived with animals my whole life. I love taking care of them it feeds my soul! Towards their later years I was responsible with administering medication to them and making sure and making sure they were properly recovering from post op surgery. I also learned how to care for a dog with epilepsy. I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet parents trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pups with consistency and kindness. I’ve cared for everything from high-energy breeds to senior dogs needing gentle support, always creating a loving environment where pets feel safe and happy. I have experience with senior dogs, I’ve taken care of two who had critical conditions that needed attentive care for 2 years.

Melanie was such a great sitter for our sweet puppy! She was communicative and on time which was a huge help for us! We would 100% book again and recommend her for anyone needing a trusty sitter!

First sits always require more communication. I had written and verbal instructions which I know can be like drinking from of firehose, especially when the sit includes house and pups (4) for 8 days. Melanie handled it well and we did need some clarification but not any issues that would prevent us from using her in the future. Dogs were cared for and the house was ok. May sound like a low bar but it is not. The pups were excited to see her.

Melanie has watched our dog several times! She’s always sending photos and updates about him. She’s terrific!

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.
