Fiercely Protective of Your FurBaby

Pet care experience

The difference between me and other sitters? I firmly believe that pets are family and should be treated as such. I love my furbabies more than anything. They are happy, spoiled, and healthy little balls of mischief. I understand the value of receiving numerous pictures and updates because it's what /I/ would want. I am the sitter I'd want to have and trust. I could never give any less. You never have to worry about your furbaby's safety or wellness. I'm known as an avid animal lover in my circle of friends and family. I have four years of experience dog sitting and walking. As a veteran I've taken care of fellow service member's furry loved ones while they were away. I follow veterinarian pages to see if there are any disease outbreaks in the local area and will confirm with you that your pet is safe. For drop in visits, I'm an expert cuddler! I know how important it is to maintain a healthy coat, I'm a big fan of brushing. I know how to handle mats. I quickly form bonds with dogs(& cats!) and hope you choose me again and again!

Melina is THE BOMB-DOT-COM! Not only was she AMAZING with my Bella, but she was overly accommodating as well! I needed a last minute walker and had never used the Rover app before. I requested her at about 5pm yesterday, she was at my house by 7pm to meet Bella and complete her thorough questionnaire that she has to make sure she gave my girl the best care. She then was SUPER flexible with scheduling the walk today and came right at the perfect time while I was away at work for my dog. She took fabulous pictures, made sure she got exercise, was pottied and drank water, and even gave her a treat at the end of her fun! Not only that, Melina stuck around and waited for Bella to cool down after her fun in the sun before she left. Seriously - the. Best. Experience. Book her now (but leave some space for me).

Information Melina C. would like to know about your pet

Safety for them (and me) is vital. I try my best to stay updated on any outbreaks and will confirm with you. I need to know if they have a particular fondness for anything wild and what might frighten or agitate them. I ask that large breeds be properly leash trained.

A typical day

I love walking trails (depending on your location) and (sub)urban areas are fun to explore! It is up to you. I'm not sure who enjoys fetch or playing with a flirt pole more.
