Are they house trained? Do they get along well with other dogs? Are they crate trained? I do crate during meal time, while I am away from home and during the night.

Your dog will enjoy tons of play time with my own dogs. Not too mention all of the love and cuddles three children will add.

Pet care experience

I am a seasoned petsitter with close to 30 years experience. I have 3 children still at home and three dogs. I have experience with medical needs animals and have no problem giving shots or fluids. I live in Okolona and have a large fenced yard in which your dog would love to play. I treat the animals that come into my home as my own. Your pooch will love all the attention it receives from us! Please check out my reviews and repeat clients. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Also, if you book with me, you can book with confidence in knowing that I offer a FULL refund should your plans change. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up hours. You can drop-off as early as 6am and pick-up as late as 8pm. I do ask that your pet be fully vaccinated, including Bordetella. I do not work outside the home. I offer pet care on a full-time basis. Your pet will have ample play time and lots of socialization while vacationing with me. Your pet is treated as my own when staying with me. I have a secure dog area in my backyard along with privacy fencing around the perimeter. Lots of daily exercise and playtime is given.

Melody was wonderful!! This is our first time having Melody watch our dogs and she made every effort to ensure our dogs and us were comfortable! She provided daily check ins a few times a day with picture and a quick update on how the pups were doing. She is incredible and we highly recommend her!

Melody is great. The time she took to speak with us when we dropped Daisy off was very appreciated. She took very good care of our Daisy. This was only the 2nd time in Daisy’s 9.5 years that we had to leave her with a sitter. 🐾

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.
