I'll treat your pet like family!
Pet care experience
I have been sitting on Rover and via word-of-mouth for the past two years. I have house sat and cared for many sweet and unique pets in that time and have loved every minute of it! I am comfortable administering medicines, going on long walks, cleaning litter boxes, tuning into and having patience with anxious pets, and just providing pleasant company to pets while families are away. I have two cats of my own as well, so I am never really out of practice when it comes to loving and caring for an animal! At the core, I am compassionate about all animals from every walk of life and I cannot wait to meet your pet! :)
Reviews
Melody has been so great with our dogs and cat. They are a bit anxious but they love when she comes to stay!
Awesome! Reliable, communicates well and great with giving meds to cats- which is no easy feat!
Wonderful! Kind, communicative, responsive and trustworthy. We will definitely be contacting Melody for our future needs with both our senior dog and cats-one of whom requires both liquid and capsule medications every 8 hours for seizures.
Melody always does a wonderful job for our cat Sasha when we need to go out of town. Can't recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to give your pet the same care, play, and attention as they would get with you home. I am comfortable staying overnight for pets that need that extra company, and I make sure to adhere and create enough time for getting routines and feeding/potty times as much as possible.
Information Melody S. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has a history of unexpected behaviors or aggressive tendencies I am more than willing to work with you and your pet to create enough comfort and trust before a booking (i.e. multiple meet and greets, trial stays with you nearby, etc), I just ask to know about this in advance. Also, while I'd love to care for dogs of every shape and size, I have a petite frame and cannot support much more than my own weight, so it is important for me to know if your dog is very large (100+ lbs) or tugs excessively on walks so I can be prepared or decline if it seems like I'm not the best fit.
A typical day
During a typical day, I will make sure to stick to your pet's routine, which includes plenty of time for activities and engagement (if that is a priority). I truly tailor each stay to the pet I am caring for and love to learn what games or forms of play your pet likes the most. Some of these activities include but are not limited to; extra-long walks, traveling to a nature preserve or dog park, playing fetch or hide and seek with toys/treats (for dogs), playing with laser pointers, feather wands, or catnip toys (for cats), brushing fur/hair, and (my favorite) petting and snuggling.

I reside in Port Washington, WI, and work as a music therapist in Grafton, WI. I generally work from 12-8 pm on weekdays, so I am available for overnight care as well as early morning care into the early afternoon (depending on the day), and I am free on the weekends.
