Pet care experience

I’m a huge dog person, I️ believe that dogs should have a fun experience when it comes to dog care. The fact that I️ enjoy this will ensure the dog has a great time and I️ do a good job. I’m very flexible with schedules and I’ve dog say before for neighbors. I️ can do anything asked of me from feeding to walking playing. Due to the fact that I️ am in college, I️ am not available early in the day but all day during weekend and early morning and later afternoon I️ am available for anything asked of me. Lastly, I’ve been doing this for a long time, to be exact since high school, and I️ believe that I️ am very knowledgeable when it comes to dog care.

Melvin is great. Stump immediately took to him, circling him and rubbing up on his legs and my little dude can be pretty stand offish. He is very quick to respond to messages and I love the pics and poop report cards!

Melvin is the ideal person you'd want your fur-kid to stay or be watched by. I found myself in a tight spot with my original sitter cancelling the week prior to Thanksgiving and luckily found Melvin here on Rover. He came and picked up Milo, sent daily reports, and could tell Milo was having a blast...so much I think he's a bit sad! Highly recommend Melvin for your dog needs! He's great.

Melvin is the best dog sitter I have ever had. He takes it very seriously, and I always can count on him to get the job done. His experience and passion for this job makes him trustworthy. You guys would be lucky to have him.

Information Melvin S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences but I'm a BIG fan of Bull Dogs. I would like to know what the dog likes to eat, do on walks and how long the walks should be. I like a detailed rundown on the dog's schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible. I can also be laid back if that is what the owner wants.

A typical day

I will walk wherever the owner pleases, fun activities include a variety of things from playing fetch to a trip to the dog park! I also enjoy hikes with a Dog and being outdoors whatever the weather may be like.
