Playful, attentive and loving
Pet care experience
Dogs have been a part of my life since I was ten years old. I’ve loved every dog that I’ve been graced to know, from fosters to forever dogs to those in the rescue sanctuary I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Though I’m not the Dog Whisperer, I do have an uncanny ability to make dogs feel comfortable with me. It’s about learning them, paying attention, and holding space for them to make the first move. I’m playful, attentive, and loving, so they trust me easily--and I’ve always connected with dogs deeply. They’re intelligent, loyal, and have a wonderful ability to sense human emotions, in part through our body language, although I’ve always felt that dogs can read us on multiple levels. It’s no wonder that people love dogs so much and that we can create unbreakable bonds; we benefit so much from having them in our lives. And with their social nature, there’s never a dull moment with our furry buddies. I love to go on hikes and walks daily, and I love to have company! My favorite games always keep dogs entertained: I like to play hide-and-seek with toys, blow bubbles for them to chase, and be silly singing and dancing together. We’ll find time for lots of love and snuggles, too. I’ll ease your dog’s separation from her parent by providing mental stimulation and strengthening our budding bond. I’m attentive, responsive, and responsible. Communication is key. I’ll stay in contact, giving you updates including pics and video - and facilitate FaceTime if you’d like, since your pet will always benefit from hearing your voice. I’ll strive to make both of you happy, and do whatever I can to assure you that your pup is safe, happy, and having a great time. I am available after 9:30am during the weekdays and as early as 8:00am on the weekend for drop-ins and walks. If you need overnight stays, my hours are 7:00pm to 7:00am. I’m looking forward to making new furry friends and providing fun and loving care. RoverGo gives me and my clients peace of mind, as expectations are clearly set forth and we have the ability to keep in close contact. And I get to invest in making your furry friend’s life great even when you’re away!
Reviews
Melody did a fantastic job as usual!
Melody is AWESOME!!!! Second time she stayed with my dog Cally. She loves Melody, and I think Cally was looking for Melody the next day after her stay with Cally was done. I can go out of town as needed and not worry with Melody staying with my little dog.
Melody looked after my cats when we were away and she was amazing! Would recommend her to anyone!
Another great experience with Melody. I feel so comfortable leaving my pets in her care. She truly is one of the best!

Information Melody M. would like to know about your pet
I want to get to know your pet so that they can get the best care, ever. Please share anything that you think I need to know in order to provide that. Does your dog have special needs? What makes them happy? What commands do you use? What's their favorite toy? What are your house rules? My experience is with small breeds: Papillon, Dachshund, Yorkie, Pomeranian, Poodle, Chihuahua, West Highland Terrier, Schnauzer and Maltese. I have worked with larger dogs in an animal sanctuary/rescue.
A typical day
San Diego is an incredible city and there are many places for us to explore together. We have dog parks all over the city, and even Dog Beach! If your dog will be happiest on his or her “usual” route, we’ll seek it out to make walks as comfortable as possible. With that said, I always like to take dogs on new adventures, too--it’s fun for both of us and great for developing new skills and neural connections. I have a full-time job in Social Media, and have the flexibility to work from anywhere. We’ll enjoy all sorts of activities: fun and silly games, outdoor adventures, and playful cuddles. I’m open to incorporating whatever’s most important to you; I want to ensure that every day with me is rewarding, relaxing, and memorable.
