Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to follow any directions left for me about caring for your fur babies! I have pets of my own that all have different feeding schedules, amounts, and medications. So lists of requests and directions do not scare me!

Information Mel C. would like to know about your pet

If your dog or cat has previously shown behavioral issues, anxiety, or aggression towards other animals or people, I would like to know this ahead of time to make sure I can meet their needs to the best of my ability.

A typical day

I have no problem taking your pet to a dog park or play area as long as I have permission. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs or playing with fun toys with cats!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Professionally I have worked with animals for about 5 years now. I worked at a doggy daycare for almost 3 years. Working there taught me a great deal about animal behavior and different kinds of dog personalities. I currently work at an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job duties involve administering medication daily and taking care of both dogs and cats. I have previously worked at an emergency veterinary hospital as well, which helped me learn how to react best under pressure. I have 3 fur babies of my own (1 dog and 2 cats). I have previously volunteered at local animal shelters where I met many different types of dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting your pets!

Mel took great care of our pups while we were out of town! She was very communicative. Thank you Mel!

Mel takes amazing care of my animals! I have 3 dogs, one of which is a senior who needs extra attention, and she always follows directions precisely. I never worry when my dogs are being watched by Mel.
