Hard Working, Caring, Flexible

Pet care experience

My personal history with animal care includes three dogs, one of whom was a shelter rescue. This Pomeranian was six years old and experienced some health issues that required special attention. In particular, his seizures required me to provide medication. In addition to that keeping him company, walking him, grooming him, and holding him to keep him from harming himself during a seizure. The two dogs that I take care of now are shih-poos. I walk them, I play with them, I give them affection and I'm the one that generally spends time with them the most. I groom them and clean up after their messes everyday. Whether I'm dealing with the normal clean up required for a healthy animal or treating a more sensitive situation, I am always excited for the opportunity to spend time with dogs. My current living situation doesn't allow me enough space to adopt another animal so instead I would love to help you with yours!

Melody was fantastic! She stayed with Koko for a week, and she (Koko) couldn’t have been happier! She sent daily updates and pictures, even a few videos to assure us all was okay. We felt so much better knowing our pup was getting cared for in her own comfortable place while we were away. Melody is very respectful and left our home spotless, couldn’t even tell she was there! We will definitely recommend Rover and Melody!

Melody was great at communicating during her stay with our 3 dogs and 1 cat. She sent pictures, videos, and was super easy to get ahold of. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care. When we returned home after our almost week long trip the house was spotless and the pets were happy. Thank you Melody!

Melody did a Great Job for us. Kept us informed when she showed up and any issues that came to light (there were none) She sent pics and videos showing us that she and the dogs were comfortable with each other. The best review I feel I can ever give anyone is Will I Use Them Again? Without and Hesitation YES.

Safety, trust & environment

Dog care all depends on the needs of the individual dog and the wishes of the pet owner. All I can promise is to do my best to follow up with expectations and then go above and beyond to give the pets and pet owner a positive rover experience.

Information Melody C. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences. I love all kinds of dogs. I would like to know if they're on any kind of medication and what time are they used to being fed if I have to come over and take care of them. Is there any special instructions for how to make their food such as mixing wet food with dry food and that sort of thing.

A typical day

It depends on the area we're in. If there's a dog park nearby, or a park in general, we might go there. We might go to the beach. It also depends on the dog since I know some dogs are not comfortable or feel safe being in places with a lot of people around. If the dog also likes to play games like fetch, let me know.

My schedule has been pretty flexible as of lately. I am in-between jobs at the moment but that's going to change soon as I am looking forward to starting a new job in the near future. I typically prefer a week notice at maximum or a few days notice minimum before the day(s) of actually dog sitting and/or house-sitting. I typically only do short notice requests for repeat client's.
