Skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I’m pretty detailed so I appreciate when owners leave a list or have specific requests. However, if you prefer a more laid back approach, that’s fine too. Whatever keeps your dog happy & safe!

Information Melinda H. would like to know about your pet

My own dogs receive either allergy pills, pain pills, ear solutions and/or topical creams so I’m familiar with using these items. If you prefer clean paws, let me know and I’m happy wipe them down as well.

A typical day

Treat puzzles, kings, frozen treats, and puzzles are things I like to offer my own dogs for mental stimulation. I like to save those for after our walks which can range anywhere from 10-40 mins depending on which of my dogs I’m walking.

Pet care experience

I currently have a Great Pyrenees and a tiny little Papillion/Chihuahua mix, both rescues, whom I love more than life itself. So when I say big or small, I mean it! My background is in the fitness industry so if your pup needs a longer walk than normal, I got you.

Mel did an excellent job with our boys. She was always on time and I know the dogs appreciated the attention she gave them. She was also very flexible with a few last minute changes that really helped us out. I would gladly have her watch our dogs anytime!

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.
