I’m not available for pet sitting at this time either at my home or at a clients home. Perhaps in the future I will be.

Information Melany B. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your dog has any aggression issues toward other dogs during neighborhood walks or at dog parks. I have no breed preferences. I love all types of dogs and cats.

A typical day

I’ll take your dog wherever they are used to going and spend quality cat time with your feline. Dog walks in your neighborhood and nearby parks. If more exercise and socializing is needed, I can take your pup to Pt. Isabel or a nearby park off leash. Tug O War, ball or frisbee fetching if they want as well as cuddling time and belly rubs. Also, if your dog needs some basic obedience training, I can provide that too. And, if the dog is recovering from any sort of procedure, I know how to take it easy on the walk if needed and be totally focused on how the dog is progressing.

Firefighter/Paramedic Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I’m a retired Firefighter/Paramedic who loves all animals, especially dogs and cats. I have 26 years of loving and caring for dogs, cats and reptiles. From my Paramedic experience and dog and cat CPR/First Aid training, I am comfortable giving pet medications, IV fluids, and providing any dietary needs. Grooming, great exercise and lots of love abound as well! I am patient, mature and easy going. Now that I’m retired, I have time to focus on enjoying a job where I can give back all of my years of experience taking care of countless neighbor’s pets and my pets. I love and can take care of all types of pets.

We’re so lucky to have Melany as our dog walker/sitter. She’s absolutely amazing — always reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond every single time. Our dog adores her, and we have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Melany is always our go-to person whenever we need someone we can trust. She truly loves what she does, and it shows. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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.
