Pets are my favorite people!

Pet care experience

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!

Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️

Checkers seems to feel safe and loved whenever Melina cares for her. We love receiving photos while away. She’s a wonderful caregiver to our pup.

I am filled with gratitude to know Melina and to have her watch our sweet Cattle Dog, Cowboy. Melina understands what spooks Cowboy, how he can act out when he's afraid, and thoroughly enjoys his quirks and his company. We were gone 7 days this time, and we never worried about our dog for a moment. Melina is our go-to dog sitter - I highly, highly recommend her to anyone who values a true professional / a dog lover / a great communicator. Thank you for another great experience!!! Liz

Melina was our first rover sitter and we hope to continue with her based on her communication style and our pups state of being: happy.

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 lay on the floor or play with your fur friend throughout our time together, whenever they would like.

Information Melina B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medications, allergies, or specific needs you’d like me to pay special attention towards. If your pet tends to be nervous about your absence, please let me know if they have a favorite treat, toy, or park that I can utilize to perk them up.

A typical day

There are so many fantastic parks and hikes around the Bay. In North Beach I'm a few blocks from Fisherman's Wharf and Francisco Park which dogs usually love to walk around.
