Pet care experience

Pets are my favorite people!

I’ve had 3 family dogs, and currently miss my energetic nephew golden doodle Harvey back in Texas. For years, family and friends have trusted me to care for pets of all ages, and I can handle multiple animals at once. I’m comfortable hiking the hills of the city or running through the park to stretch your pets legs! I have experience with weeks old puppies as well as week long pet sitting with senior dogs needing extra care. Can’t wait to meet y’all!

House Sitting • avr. 06, 2026

Melina is an incredible critter sitter - she’s the only person we’ve trusted for years now to make sure our fur babies are safe and sound when we have to leave them at home! Our house is always exactly at we left it, if not better and cleaner! ;) Thank you as always for caring for our crew like they were your own, Melina!! Until next time…

Melina was so great with our dog Brisa who loves to be close to her humans, and Melina quickly and naturally became a favorite human of hers! Melina is very bright and personable, and very responsible and trustworthy. We would love to get her back to our home soon to take care of Brisa.

We love Melina! She’s one of our original Rovers and regular sitters. 10/10 every time. :)

Melina did such an amazing job! All of our animals were so well looked after and comfortable while we were away. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for a pet in a clients home, I first check with the pet parent to review all care notes before our appointment begins. It’s important to know from the parent how their pet will react to their absence and usually we get to know each other a bit before a longer booking occurs. Generally my schedule allows me to relax and play with your fur friend throughout our time together, whenever they would like.

A typical day

When your furry friend boards with me, we'll go for walks around the neighborhood, practice command training, or drive to one of the local dog parks.
