I LOVE Giving Belly Rubs

Pet care experience

I LOVE DOGS! My home and my heart are wide open to them. I do not take the responsibility of taking care of people’s babies lightly. I pay extremely close attention to owner’s notes and all of the dogs behaviors and needs. I will keep your feeding and walking schedule, but might overdo belly and booty rubs if your dog allows it. I have had dogs for most of my life, and have been dog walking and sitting for several years.

Melody is an amazing sitter! Our cats tend to be skittish, but she was able to make them feel comfortable enough for pets and playtime. We got lots of photos and videos every day with detailed updates, and our cats were much happier when we got home than other times we've left them alone. They were clearly well taken care of. We highly recommend Melody!

Melody is a life saver! She accepted our booking on a short notice - so very grateful for it! She is very punctual. She made sure she knows my dog Kimbap’s needs and behavior beforehand during a meet & greet. Our lil guy is almost 12 so he’s not super hyper but we wanted someone to just be with him while we were away and Melody was so nice to help us out! Kimbap loved her belly rubs! Highly recommended!

Melody was very responsive with our super last minute request and punctual with the booking. She handled our puppy very well considering his nipping habits. Thanks Melody!! Looking forward to future bookings.

Melody took great care of our rescue pit, Rusty. He’s very friendly and has a lot of energy, but will get a little jumpy at loud noises. This makes him a handful sometimes, walking around city streets. He had a great time with Melody, however. She was punctual and very friendly when she picked Rusty up, and (my favorite part), sent lots of pictures from the park of her and Rusty playing on the lawn. Melody seems like a loving, dog-oriented person and I’ll be happy to book her again.

Please let me know all of your dogs schedules, habits, needs, and even likes and dislikes. I want to make our time together as stress free and positive as possible. The more I know, the better I can meet your baby’s needs.

I love walking in the bridle path in Central Park or by the East River. I’m a huge fan of dog park time, and will carefully monitor your baby if you decide you’d like them taken to the dog park.
