Safety, trust & environment

Safety is the #1 priority for me. My dogs are never off leash unless they are in a fenced in area. I will treat your pets with the same care as my own to prevent escaping from the house. My dogs each have a personalized nutrition plan to meet their individual needs. I provide dogs the mental and physical stimulation they require in a manner that is appropriate for their life stages and medical needs.

Information Mell W. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about any special needs your dogs may have such as high prey drive, dog aggression, fearful triggers (loud noises, thunder), physical limitations, deaf, blind, or any other medical condition.

A typical day

I love to play fetch with a dog's favorite toy. I also provide mental stimulation with puzzle toys. I enjoy taking dogs to a local park that has well maintained paths for walks. My dogs and I love walking around Lake Pflugerville in warm weather.

Mel has been fantastic with our kitties! She even continued to check on them and the house during a recent ice storm. It was great knowing that they were safe, warm, and fed.

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.
