Information Melina G. would like to know about your pet

I find that it’s imprint to know any allergies and aggression ahead of time. I’m perfectly comfortable working with dogs that have an aggression issues if I’m made aware of them ahead of time to act accordingly.

A typical day

I’m a big fan of play time! I enjoy playing with pets with their toys. Nice walks are also a key part of a dogs day to keep them stimulated and happy.

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Melina and I'm an avid animal lover! I have had dogs and cats since I was young and currently have 3 cats, 1 snake, 6 rats, and handful of spiders. I’m comfortable working with all kinds of pets! I am experienced with small dogs like Chihuahuas and up to big dogs like Great Danes. I enjoy spending my free time walking my dogs, playing with them, snuggling with my cats and handling my spiders.

Melina was great! Super communicative and checked in with me because I forgot to update my address since I moved.

This was our first time having Melina take care of our cats and she was AMAZING.

Melina sent lots of pics and gave Mu good loves while we were away. I liked that she asked for vet info to be written down and a carrier left out in case of any emergencies.

Didn't stay for the whole 30 mins and my dog had a feeling about her that ive never seen from him. When I came home there was items ripped to shreds, not cleaned up and poop by the front door

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.
