Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with pets who need medications, pets who are trouble makers, and pets with unique needs. I will ensure your pet is in a safe and happy environment.

Information Melinda B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has a favorite toy or activity, if they need medication or have any medical issues, or if there is anything your dog might get into so I can ensure their safety.

A typical day

I love to mix it up to keep animas stimulated. I will take them for a walk, bring a treat puzzle, throw the ball around, etc. For cats or animals more shy, I let them take the lead on what type of interaction they would prefer but try to engage with them with treats or puzzles.

Pet care experience

I have had animals lots of animals; from dogs and cats to gerbils and horses. I am a huge animal lover, and I currently have a very unique cat who I love very much. I know when I have a pet sitter, I want to check in and make sure he is being well taken care of and loved so I want to do the same for you and your pet!

Melinda is excellent with animals! She has a true passion for ensuring they are well cared for. When she has watched my animals (I have 3 dogs, 2 cat, 5 chickens, and a horse), she has done an awesome job. She sends me updates with pictures, which I love. My animals are always happy and well taken care of when I book Melinda for pet sitting.

Melinda is the most knowledgable, attentive, competent, and loving pet sitter that I have come across. She loves animals to her core and will do anything to protect them. Melinda is a great communicator with pet owners, honest to a fault, and very personable. You cannot go wrong in hiring her, because the best is always worth it!

Melinda is great! She’s helped out with my dog Luna for the last several years! Very professional, on time and it’s obvious that she truly cares for animals. Exactly the type of person I want watching over my dog. I’d highly recommend her from helping out overnight to a longer stay away.

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.
