Pet care experience

Energetic Pet Sitter / Dog Walker

I have experience with pet sitting for over 15 years. I am comfortable with cats, dogs and various animals. I have done many drop-ins, walks and live-in pet sitting. I have a lot of energy and joy that I enjoy sharing with the animals ! I prefer smaller to care for / medium sized dogs and cats. I do love big dogs but only if they are very friendly. I may have a challenging time with a larger dog who is skittish or barks at me.

Mel was wonderful! The dogs were so well cared for and she kept me updated so I was able to enjoy my time without worrying about the dogs while I was gone.

Mel was great! She stopped in to take care of my doggy & Jac-cat! They aren’t always easy to deal with but she handled them like a pro! Thanks Mel! 👍

Mel did a great job for us! She watched our two dogs and cat while we were gone for a weekend! She fed them and administered medication. One of our dogs was a little aggressive, but she worked through that with him. I appreciate her patience and all she did for our fur babies! Thank you, Mel! You’re the best!

Schedule

Currently I work from home. I can come to you for drop ins, pet-sitting (daily or overnights) and dog-walking . I have a flexible schedule so I am open for any negotiations.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Meli can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and preferences. Happy to stick to your training policies such as treat admission and medication schedules. I checked “can administer oral medication” though, this has typically been by putting the medicine in food (by owners request).
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.
