“Melanie is a true animal lover, kind, and caring person. I felt very safe and secure going away for a few days and having her take care of my dogs and home. She was aware and asked questions that helped me know my dogs were in great hands. So glad to have found Melanie and look forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future!”
“Zachary was absolutely amazing as our dog sitter. He sent us tons of pictures and updates. Our dogs loved him when he came over for a meet and greet. We will definitely book again with him. He was a great houseguest as well. He even left a cute Polaroid picture of our doggies.”
About: It would be my pleasure to help care for your pets while you are away. I grew up with an assortment of pets and have owned a handful of pets of my own, including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and birds. I have also provided care for a guinea pig. I work full time Monday - Friday, I have flexible lunch breaks to allow for drop-in services. My evenings and weekends are pretty open for spending longer amounts of time in your home to provide companionship for your pets. I prefer caring for your pets in your/their home. This allows for a comfortable, familiar environment while receiving care from someone new. When possible, initial meet and greets prior to first visit is appreciated. I like to be a friendly, familiar face when possible.
“Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!”
