About Melina E.

Safety, trust & environment

I take safety and care to the utmost priority that I possibly can. Therefore, moving forward, I cannot, in good conscious, offer my home for pets and family. I have a small apartment with two cats and a child, along with 4-5 people going in and out constantly. My cats can handle it as they are very social but I would worry about other animals. In other words, boarding would have to only be at client's home if boarding is something that is booked (I have been having trouble being unable to remove hosting & boarding at home from the Rover profile). Please message me for further details!

Information Melina E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special treatment you would like me to administer or keep in mind as I am caring for your pet. This can include medicine and administration, but also if there are any specific routines they like to go through daily (a specific way their food is administered, around when they like to take naps and where, if they have any toys or items they like best) or anything else routine that makes them feel happy and safe while you are away!

A typical day

I love to include lots and lots of enrichment to all the pets I take care of throughout the day. I start off the day with making sure they had their food and water and medicine, then picking up their equipment (leash, harness &/or vest, dog waste bags, extra toys, collapsible water bowl) and then off we go. For cats, I like racing up and down the hallway with some string or feather toys-under close supervision-, including some hunting/foraging games and toys, or puzzle feeders, and so forth. With both, I like enforcing clicker training or small commands - if the owners are all right with it-, and trying new things with different toys, to keep them excited for playtime

Pet care experience

I have always been the one people in my family or neighborhood turned to for advice with their pet, walking or feeding their pet, and translating documents and assisting with vet trips. I'm bilingual and can very easily switch back and forth and be as helpful as I can in both. I am relied on heavily in my community because of these traits, not only with pets but everyday life. It shows the care and love I have for the people here and how much they trust me as well, to take care of their furry little ones!
