Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m staying at your place or checking in throughout the day, I like to keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress free. Feeding, walks, playtime, medications, whatever they need. I always make sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I also like keeping owners updated with pictures and little check-ins because I know how much peace of mind matters when someone else is caring for your pet 🐾

Information Melody Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet needs any type of special attention or care, I am here to fulfill yours and their every need!

A typical day

I like making sure pets feel comfortable and actually have fun while their owners are away instead of just being “checked on.” We can go on walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, laser pointers, outside time, or honestly just hang out and cuddle if that’s more their speed. I try to match each pet’s personality and energy level. Some pets want to run around nonstop and some just want someone to sit with them and make them feel safe and loved 🐾

Pet care experience

Animals have always had a soft spot in my heart. I’ve been taking care of pets for 20 years and have worked in animal shelters along with working as a Vet Assistant, so I’ve had experience with all kinds of furry (and feathery) personalities. Whether you need daily check-ins, overnight stays, or help with medications, I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet is comfortable, cared for, and getting all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away 🐾

Absolutely great experience! Both our cats loved having her check on them and she spent time with them and gave them a little outside break each day. Will definitely use her again when needed.

Melody was wonderful with both dogs and gave them the time and attention while we were away. Additionally, she provided feedback on their activity and any concerns she recognized. I highly recommend Melody and will continue requesting her support.

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.
