Pet care experience

I'd do this for fun any day!

I'm an editor who works from home in the North Scottsdale area! I worked Rover for about 10 years and I aim to go above and beyond to provide good care for all the dogs and love on them just like their owners do. I’m reliable and flexible, so I sometimes take visits/walks booked the day of, and I always make sure to walk dogs even if just around the block when booked for a drop-in visit. I’m good with big and small dogs and have experience with Pitbulls and other bigger/more energetic breeds. Sidenote: I don’t discriminate with kitties! Love them as well and will feed and pet for free on a household with a dog, or for same fee if alone or needs medication.

Melanie was awesome! She was very friendly, communicative, and shared lots of photos. Our pup was so comfortable with her.

Mellanie did amazing with Luna! She sent regular updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her and book her again in the future!

Melanie took great care of our little Frenchie. She is very loving with animals and routinely updated us with pictures and update text messages. Thank you so much for being such wonderful pet parents to Felix while we were away.

Melanie was great! She took great care of our precious Frenchie. She cared for him like her own. He was so happy at pick up and looked like he had a great time. We received updates with pictures routinely, which made being away from our family member much more comfortable. We are very thankful to her and husband for being such amazing hosts and genuinely caring. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Mellanie took great care of Steve. I needed a last minute sitter and Mellanie was great to work with. She provided updates and photos. We will definitely rebook!

Schedule

I work from home, so I'm flexible to take a couple of dogs on walks per day or do a drop-in visit. If I'm boarding a dog, I walk them at least 3 times a day.

Safety, trust & environment

I'll always make sure the dog(s) are leashed and do not dominate me on a walk. I'm watchful of what their sniffing and always make sure to pick up after them wherever they go!

A typical day

I have a yard so I can let them out easily and have room to toss them a ball and play as needed! Also happy to take them to a dog park if they get a long with other dogs.

I'd love to know if the dog is hyperactive and/or barks a lot or not, and their sleeptime habits and what their typical routines are.
