I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I have more flexibility Friday-Monday than I do mid-week, but we can coordinate if my schedule doesn't align with what you're looking for.

Information Melia W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your baby requires any sort of special attention or care! I'm also more than happy to meet up with you and your pet before providing services so we can get to know one another first.

A typical day

Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, and with me your pet will get both! Your pet can expect long walks, fun puzzles, and lots of snuggles. I can also help with training.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Melia, a lifelong animal lover and mother to 3 pets who has that unspoken bond with every animal I encounter. I have a Bachelor's degree in UX Research & Design and work in tech. In my free time, you'll find me training my puppy, taking my dogs to the beach, trying a new recipe, or starting a new craft. My experience mostly comes from taking care of my friends' and family's pets, from tiny dogs to giant ones, velcro cats and aloof ones alike, I love them all. This year, after months of planning, I brought home a puppy! (only to be laid off a week later. yikes) But that means I am comfortable helping you train your pup if that's something you're interested in. I joined Rover to hopefully fill my days with what I love most while searching for the next step of my career in this precarious market. Whether your baby needs long walks or calm companionship, I'll make sure they get the affection and attention that they deserve. Clear communication and trust are my top priorities, so if you reach out to me you can rest assured that your furry family member will be well taken care of. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Take care

Melia is great! Super communicative, always on time, great with my cat. She helped last minute with medication which eased my nerves. Definitely recommend!

Melia was wonderful. She had good communication with me throughout the duration of her time house sitting and watching my cat. She also understood how to properly care for a cat who is more shy and takes time to get comfortable around new people. Melia was able to get my cat to come out and play, which several cat sitters had a hard time doing. I would definitely recommend Melia.

Melia took amazing care of Munay. She was very accommodating, professional and communicative. I love that she has dogs too so my puppy could socialize during her stay. Thanks!

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.
