Pet care experience

Hi fur friends!

I have been caring for and fawning over pets of all kinds since I was a kid! I especially like dogs because I walk a lot: North Van trails, city walks and Trout Lake! Dogs especially like me because I walk a lot! :) I have a soft spot for senior dogs who just want a cozy lap to snuggle up in all day. But all active dogs are part of my pack as well.

Melody was so great and accommodating! She was able to watch Penny for me last minute and Penny had the BEST time with her. Melody took Penny to the trails in North Van (which she looooves). Thank you Melody!! Will definitely be booking again.

Melody was a rockstar with my very special needs dog. Her sore foot flared up and she got really stressed out being away from home after a few days. Melody was so kind and careful with her and had to do extra cleaning up after her. So grateful.

Melody was very kind to our shy and nervous dog. She even fed him extra special meals when he was refusing to eat his regular food. We appreciate her kindness to our special guy.

Melody was amazing! Communicative, organized and respectful of the space, and seemed great with the puppy.

Niko, absolutely adores Melody. She’s reliable, warm, and somehow manages to calm his zoomies while still giving him a fun, active walk every time. We get the cutest photo updates from Trout Lake or North Van, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. So grateful to have found someone in East Van we trust completely. Niko can’t wait for his next adventure with her! -Laura & Niko

Before watching a dog, I like to know their daily routine, energy level, and any special needs. It’s helpful to learn about their temperament, how they are around other dogs or people, and if they have any fears or triggers (like loud noises or certain environments). I also like to ask about their favorite activities, any medical conditions, feeding schedule, and if they’re on any medications. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!
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.
