Pet care experience

Experienced with stray cats too

I can walk, feed and play if necessary. I have experience with dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles and small animals so that's the extent of energy levels that I know that could work well with my schedule. Gaining as much new experience as I can is important to me and I will always do my best to accommodate any dog or cat in my care.

Mell was great! She was super accommodating to a last minute request and took great care of Oakley while we were away. She sent updates and photos which we always appreciate.

This was the second time we’ve had Mell stay over to watch our pup, Lila, and it was for a whole week this time. Lila was happy and healthy upon our return, and our apartment was just as we left it. Mell is such a great pet-sitter, always responsive to messages, and sent plenty of pics and videos of Lila. We’re lucky to have found her!

Mell did a great job watching our pup, Lila, over Labor Day weekend. She was friendly, responsive to our messages, and checked in with us to let us know how Lila was doing. Exactly what we’d hope for from a pup sitter!

Mell watched our two sweet cats on short notice and was very kind, responsive, attentive and followed their routine perfectly! She was great :)

Mell house sat our dog Stella and made her feel very comfortable in our absence! Would love to have her back to watch Stella again!

5 stars!!! Mell was fantastic with our cat while we were away for 2 weeks. I’ve never used Rover before so I was nervous leaving my cat baby with a stranger but Mell was the best sitter ever!! No issues whatsoever! She’s responsible, quick to respond and loved Remy like he was her own! Super easy to drop him off and she had everything ready to go when we picked him up! Will 100% use her services again and recommend to others as well! Thank you Mell!
