Pet care experience

I love dogs of all sizes and ages! My family recently lost our pitbull, Emma, who was 7 years old, so my mom has temporarily kidnapped my Chihuahua so the house doesn't feel so lonely. Now my house feels a little too quiet without her around. I am loving, caring, trustworthy, and responsible! Your pet is free to roam around the house with me, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, on car rides, to the beach, and anywhere they can have fun and enjoy themselves (with your permission, of course). I like to keep dog parents updated with pictures & texts throughout their pet's stay. I understand that every dog has their own personality and unique needs, and I am committed to giving them the very best care while providing you with peace of mind. I will make sure your pet feels welcomed, loved, and right at home here!

Mely took great care of your dog. She updated us frequently and asked questions during his care. Would use her again.

Thank you, Mely!!! She was extremely considerate and attentive with my older girl, Mochi. With the highly responsive and transparent communications, regular pictures, and extra steps taken to make her feel comfortable, I know Mochi was in great hands with Mely. I 100% trust her with my sweet girl and will be booking again!!!

Mely B. was, without a doubt, the best Rover sitter we could have hoped for! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She went above and beyond to make our boys feel safe, comfortable, and completely at home. This was one of their very first experiences staying with someone outside of our family, so naturally we were a little nervous. Mely immediately put our minds at ease with her warmth, kindness, and excellent communication. Throughout their stay, it was obvious that our boys were not just being watched—they were being loved, spoiled, and treated like part of her family. The peace of mind she gave us was priceless. Knowing our dogs were happy, well cared for, and receiving so much affection allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. When we picked them up, they were content, comfortable, and clearly had formed a special bond with her. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and will treat your pets as if they were her own, look no further than Mely. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. She is truly a gem!
