Need a pet sitter, look no further!

Pet care experience

I welcome the opportunity to work with you, and your amazing pets! I began my pet sitting career in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri September 2018. I took a break from pet sitting in order to address some health issues. But, im ready to get back to my passion, that is caring for furkiddos. With that being said, I cherish every single one of my military clients, and their awesome pets I have worked with for years I primarily specialize in working with senior pets. But, I have had plenty of experience in working with all different type of dog breeds, big or small: American Bully, German Shepherds, Bull Mastiffs, Yorkshire Terrier, Blue Heeler, Miniature Australian Shepherd, Toy Poodle, etc. And a wide range of mixed breeds. That, among awesome cats I had the pleasure working with, I had the honor to work with my first identifiable cat breed: the Maine Coon. Exotic pets: like a Pink Toed Tarantula, a Giant Dwarf Bunny, and freshwater, and saltwater fish species. Incuding my first farm animal, Lilly The Mule. And, I have a particular fondness for the special needs pets, and pets that have life threatening illnesses. Like Liam, the two year old blue pit who has a condition called, "Swimmers". And, my pet friend, Hawkeye. Who passed away from liver cancer in May 2019. I have assisted multiple pets at one time, and multiple families at one time. I've administered liquid/pill form medications, working with puppies from 3 months of age, working with dogs that require more attention because of their breed (such as herding, and working dog breeds) and need much more physical activity. I have not worked with many reptile pet buddies, but, I am definitely open to assist them, too! I prefer to schedule meet & greets as soon as possible. That way, I can get not only get a sense of your pet/pets personality, BUT it allows pet parents time to give me the rundown of telling me specifics: what their pet is like, what the daily routine is for their pet, where the pet food is, how often to give medication, etc. While your pet/pets are under my care, I provide you with daily reports of how the day went with your furbaby, including pictures, and videos of walks, playing, or just hanging out at home getting belly rubs. I feel it is important that you actually see how your pet is functioning while you are away. I also will do some light cleaning (such as sweeping up dog hair, cleaning cat little box, washing their dog beds/bedding, and take your trash out) IF requested. While watching your pets, I'll make sure they have plenty of food and water under my care. And, eventhough I mentioned I worked with exotic pets, I want to reiterate that I would be more than happy to look after birds, small reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs! I'm open to assist you in anyway you can to make sure your pet's visit is as comfortable as possible. I have reviews listed on my Rover profile that I encourage you to take peak at. And, I can also provide references from pet parents that I have worked with outside of Rover. Please message me with any questions that you may have. I hope we can work together very soon!

Melody is an amazing pet sitter!! She took great care of our kitty while we were away on vacation. She sent us videos, pictures and frequent updates. It was comforting to know everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Melody to anyone with a pet sitting need!!

I was already aware of her reputation prior to her watching my cat while away. She did a great job, and updated me daily on her well-being. She is personal, as well as professional. 10/10.

Melody is loving, caring and gives my fur babies the concern and attention that I would give them. She updates so often and truly just loves my babies so much. I always feel so safe when she keeps my babies. Highly recommend!!

Melody house sat and watched our two dogs and cat for 8 days. She was so lovely and thorough and sweet! Our fluffs couldn’t have asked for better care and we had the peace of mind of knowing they were in great hands because we got regular updates and photos and videos every day. Having Melody watching over our family and house while we were out of town was a great relief and very comforting to us. She was fantastic and I can’t say enough nice things!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very particular when it comes to pet safety. Before taking your pet out, I will do a quick survey of the area to ensure no threats will interfere with our visit, such as another aggressive dog, an opened gate, watching for cars, etc. Including making sure your home is locked, and secured during every visit.

Information Melody M. would like to know about your pet

How would you describe the temperament of your dog? Is your dog well trained/disciplined? Does your dog have any triggers (meaning, do they react to thunderstorms, vacuum cleaners, doorbell, etc.)? Does your dog have special dietary needs? Does your dog have allergies? Is there anything is should keep an eye out for (such as a change in your dog's behavior due to age, or health ailments)? Do you have a vet you'd prefer your dog to go to in case of an emergency? Is this vet available 24 hours? Does your dog have any quirks that I should be aware of? Will I be expected to perform any additional services? Is your dog spayed/neutered? How old is your dog?

A typical day

In addition to playing, and doing activities that are specific to a certain pets needs, I love recording the silly things they do, and sharing those videos with the owners. Pets really do crazy things, as we know!
