Pet care experience

Animals are the way to my heart ❤️

I've had animals my entire life. When family friends went on vacation, they called me 🐶🐱 I believe that animals are more than pets, they're family. They deserve the same level of care & love that humans do. I've had years of experience training dogs to do tricks or walk properly, giving cats & dogs medicine, and grooming them thoroughly. I have taken care of puppies and senior pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For caring for pets in my clients home, I believe keeping their routine consistent is key. Animals like consistently or some sense of familiar structure. Matching the energy that their parent has is also essential in my book as well.

Melody is so great with my cat, who just adores her. She sends photos regularly and communicates updates. Highly recommend Melody for your pet sitting needs. Really appreciate her!!

Melody was so amazing with my cat. She made me feel so comfortable being away from home. The pictures she sent while I was gone made me know that my cat and home were in good hands. She left me a wonderful note about her time at my house which was so comforting to come home to. And she left a little special toy for my cat. I will definitely have Melody stay again. Thank you so much!

We could not have asked for a better cat and house sitter. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Kitty and our home were in such caring and capable hands. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful daily updates, beautiful photos and videos, and little stories about Kitty’s antics that genuinely made us smile while we were away. It was obvious how much time and attention she gave Kitty. Our cat is very social and thrives on human interaction, and it was clear she received lots of playtime, affection, and companionship during the visit. That meant so much to us. She also went far above and beyond in caring for our home. She washed and dried the bedding and towels she used, emptied the trash bins, cleaned dishes, and even emptied the litter robot without being asked. We came home to an incredibly clean house and a couple of thoughtful surprises. The level of care, professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail she showed was exceptional. It is rare to find someone so dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. We are incredibly grateful for her and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, attentive, and truly above and beyond as both a pet and house sitter.

Melody was great! She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures of the pups and made sure we knew everything that was going on! The dogs seemed to have a great time, we came back to them already tired out(which is hard for us to do with 2 aussies!) And the house was very clean, we wouldn’t have even known someone stayed here!

Melody is an incredible pet sitter and an overall wonderful human being. I wish our pets could talk so they could tell us how much they enjoy her company. From the daily pictures she sends us while we're away, it looks like they're having a blast! We're so grateful that we connected with Melody through Rover - we have the utmost trust and peace of mind knowing that our pets and our home are well cared for. She even brought them gifts to play with during her last stay!

Melody was amazing! She was so wonderful to our pets and truly spoiled them. I would 10/10 recommend her, she sent a ton of pictures letting us know they were being taken care of and really went the extra mile. Will definitely want to use her again!

Let me know if your animals have any health conditions I need to be aware of. One of the cats I watch has Congenital Heart disease. She is limited in play time and isn't allowed to run around. If your dog has higher energy, that would be something I would want to know so they're getting enough exercise. I watch a Border Collie and he needs to be walked 4 times a day for at least 30 min each time!
