Safety, trust & environment

I take my dog copper for 30 minute daily walks. On my days off I take him to a state park for a longer walk and usually somewhere with water so he can swim.

Information Melinda W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medications, health conditions, or special care needs. I am comfortable giving oral medications or topical medication.

A typical day

I will do what the pet owner asks of me. If the pet loves playing fetch or with toys we will do that! If the pet isn’t toy motivated, I am content with hanging out and giving belly rubs.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog walker, sitter and kennel assistant for the last 10 plus years. Friends, coworkers, and referrals have relied on me for taking care of their dogs, cats, horses, and cows. I myself have a pit bull/Rottweiler mix. I have also leash trained goats making me very patient with even the most rambunctious walkers!

Melinda is great! Our stranger wary pup warmed up to her really quickly and it is such a relief knowing they are being taken care of while I'm at work. She leaves a detailed note about how their walks went and even indulges our toy obsessed dog. So happy we found her!

Melinda was great housesitting and watching our four cats and dog. She provided updates on our pets and left the house clean.

Melinda was great! My dogs seemed comfortable with her from the moment they met her. Melinda sent updates and cute photos while we were gone. All four pups were well cared for and loved in our absence.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
