I love animals and love to play!
Pet care experience
I have been raising, owning and caring for animals since I was 6 years old. My family bred labs and Rottweilers and my first pet for my own personal responsibility was a Shiba Inu puppy given to me when I was 8 years old. She was my baby before I had babies and lived a long wonderful life until she was 14 years old. I’ve had cats, birds, and hamsters, and my current pet adventure has been raising pet rabbits for the last few years. I have four indoor rabbits with a secluded rabbit-haven enclosure in the garage. Raising rabbits has been an amazing journey and quite a different set of care requirements to learn. I am a dog lover at heart but cannot commit to the responsibility of owning a dog at the moment, so my heart is filled by helping take care of others fur babies. I love cats too and enjoy their fun, quirky, and full-of-spunk-yet-lazy attitudes. I am a high energy individual who loves to have a good time and make people smile. I have great attention to detail and thrive off of fuzzy love and snuggles. Quality care and animal well-being is very important to me. I view animals just an important and valuable as people. I look forward to caring for your precious pet and showering it with the same level of love and care you would give them yourself! :)
Reviews
Melanie absolutely adores animals! I’ve seen Melanie take care of pets for over a decade, and her enthusiasm for animals continues to grow. I’ve watched her take care of dogs, cats, rabbits and even turtles! Her attention to detail clearly shows how much she loves every living being. Melanie works hard to make sure the pets that are in her care are clean, well fed, loved and happy. She especially enjoys playing with animals and loves pets who are full of energy and excitement, like her. I can guarantee that anyone trusting Melanie to take care of their pet will be greatly impressed!

Safety, trust & environment
Pets in my home receive consistent and attentive care. I provide morning breakfast and evening dinner with a healthy snack or two along the way. When it’s not down pouring we enjoy ample outside time in the fenced backyard or on a walk. Pets in other peoples homes can expect the same care they receive on a normal basis plus lots of fun to go with it. I am happy to feed, water, bathe, exercise, medicate (with adequate instruction), and train animals to your specific needs and liking. I love to get tails wagging and hearts purring :)

Information Melanie U. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs your pet may have and what some of their favorite things are as well as dislikes. Also please inform me of how your pet handles other people as well as other pets/animals. Safety and comfort are a top priority!
A typical day
I love to go for walks and runs. The dog park is a great option for the right pet. I enjoy the park, lake, and beach and I’ve used tennis rackets to serve up long haul fetch games for high energy dogs who love to run! I also enjoy all the snuggles and a feisty game of wrestling.
