Pet care experience

I treat your pet like family 💛

I’ve been pet sitting since 2019 and have loved getting to know all kinds of sweet and unique pets over the years. I’m comfortable administering medications, going on long walks, cleaning litter boxes, tuning into anxious pets with patience, and providing calm companionship while families are away. I also have a spunky cat of my own, so I’m never out of practice when it comes to loving and caring for an animal. At the core, I’m compassionate about pets from every walk of life and I can’t wait to meet yours! 😊

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to give your pet the same care, attention, and routine they’re used to with you at home. I’m comfortable staying overnight for pets who need extra company, and I take schedules seriously, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any household instructions you leave. I’m calm, attentive, and focused on keeping your pet safe and low-stress while you’re away. I also send photo updates so you can relax and know everything is going well!

Melody did a great job. Went above and beyond taking good care of our cats. Would hire again.

Melody does a great job managing my 2 lively dogs on their walks. She has been a lifesaver.

Melody did an amazing job watching Teddy. She sent us updates and pictures while we were away. Would definitely recommend to other pet parents.

Schedule

I’m based in Port Washington, WI and have a flexible remote schedule, so I’m able to adjust my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for overnight stays and can also support morning and midday visits/walks on most weekdays, plus weekends.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Melody can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
If your pet has a history of reactivity, anxiety, escape attempts, or any unexpected behaviors, I’m happy to work with you to make a plan so everyone feels comfortable. That may include an extra meet and greet, a trial visit, or a shorter first booking. I just ask to know about any of this in advance. Also, while I love dogs of all sizes, I’m 5’3” and want to make sure walks stay safe and enjoyable for both of us. If your dog is very large (around 100+ lbs) or has strong pulling tendencies, please let me know ahead of time so I can come prepared, discuss tools and routines, or confirm whether I’m the best fit.
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.
