Information Melodie C. would like to know about your pet

Please provide me detailed information on special need dogs. I love caring for the older dogs. Puppies are very close to my heart. House is puppy proof.

A typical day

I start my day with taking the dogs for a walk and getting everybody fed or walked around. We then come back for a little rest or nap time then I work on my computer. Around noon depending on weather I will take them on a quick walk for restroom relief We then play around with toys ,chews ,balls We eat earlier in the day. If time allowed we have a night time hangout in the backyard.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs all my life. My parents are professional dog handlers in Southern California. Growing up I participated in Jr showmanship and was a dog handlers assistant for several years. As I got older I became a dog owner myself and have never lived in a house without a dog or two. 😂❤️🐾 lots of experience with dogs and the different personalities and needs that they each have. I don’t panic under stress and or excitement when it comes to dogs. I’ve delivered over 150 puppies over the years. I understand the importance of having a secure place for fur babies. My house/yard has been laid out to provide a safe healthy environment. Rest assured that they will not get out .So many times a hear on social media that they were with the dog sitter when they got out. We take extra precautions when we have guests.

Truly such a wonderful sitter. She always accommodates us with short notice & I couldn’t be more thankful. My boys seem very happy during their stays!

Melodie is great. She took excellent care of our baby. We'll use her every time we need a dog sitter.

Melodie has watched our two pups twice already in a couple month timespan. She has done so great with our dogs, and they always come back healthy and happy! Definitely will be using again in the future!!

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.
