Information Melody I. would like to know about your pet

It’s important that I know information such as if they are good off the lead or on the lead but also, how friendly they are with dogs.

A typical day

when taking dogs on walks I like to take them to Battersea Park and just chase after them with the ball and in general having a fun time running around with them.

Full time dog walker/sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a full-time dog walker, sitter, and daycare provider with professional experience caring for dogs. Previously, I walked two dogs — a rescue mixed breed and a French Bulldog — for two years. In my personal experience, I rescued a Siberian Husky from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and cared for him until he was 14. When I first got him, he lacked confidence around people and would shy away, but with patience and gradual socialization, he became confident and comfortable interacting with others. I am calm, patient, and attentive — qualities that are especially important when caring for nervous or reactive dogs. I have a strong passion for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I am looking for clients who need regular dog walks during the week (5 days a week) and I am happy to offer group walks as well. When dogs are in my care at my home, I have a fenced garden for safety, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, play, and attention.

I wasn't there to drop or pick up Simone so I didn't get the chance to meet Melody, my husband did. All in all, I would book her services again, my dog seemed happy and had friends to play with. She communicated daily and responded on short notice when I was looking for a dog sitter. Also communication was flawless.

Melody is truly amazing. She took such loving care of Winnie, even bringing her to the park and giving her the confidence to run off‑lead with other dogs — something that really helped us progress her training. She treated Winnie like she was part of her family and was incredibly helpful with pick‑ups and drop‑offs. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.

Melody is a wonderful dog walker who we recommend highly. She responds immediately to texts. She sent photos to us of our dog Jamie who returned home well exercised and happy. We would definitely choose Melody to walk Jamie again.

Melody accepted our last minute booking and even squeezed in time to do a pre-meet the day before to ensure our dog Sven had met her before he boarded at her place. Really quick and easy communication and you can tell she loves dogs and takes great care of them. Lots of nice photos and updates and during the handover, our dog was looking back at her fondly. Would be happy to use her services again!

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.
