❤️Reiki Master and Pet Lover ❤️

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for as long as I can remember:) Pets have always been my family and I will treat yours with the most love and affection I have in me. I will send updates on your baby daily with lots of pics and treats. I believe in total positive praise with all animals, they are precious angels that deserve all the love I can give them! I am a member of H.E.A.R.T Nevada County and deputized to help our animals during emergency situations. Use code MELG82053 to get $20 off your stay. Please use the code! I have been full time pet sitting in Nevada County since April 2023. As you can see from my amazing and unsolicited reviews that I have been very successful in caring for all animals in my charge. I have closed off boarding for the exception of current clients and kitties that can stay in my separate downstairs unit. If you are a corgi parent, that is the exception for dogs. All corgis are always welcome at my home🥰 Thank you for considering me to watch your babies, I will love and care for them as they are my own.

Our dogs, my husband and I all immediately liked Mel at the initial meeting. Our instincts were not wrong. She did an excellent job caring for our three dogs, one cat plus the house while we were away. Mel sent us videos or pics including short comments of happenings for each day. Mel baked special cookies for the dogs, gave our older dog a Reiki adjustment (he definitely seems to be moving a bit easier) and kept them to their usual schedule. As we were out of the country, it was very reassuring that all was well taken care of. Upon our return, we found the house was much cleaner than when we left, including windows that had been washed, baseboards and even the hard water lines scrubbed and removed in the toilet. It was obvious that our pets were happy upon our return and we could tell they were also wondering where Mel had gone. We highly recommend Mel's services and would definitely hire her to care for our pets & house in the future.

Mel was fantastic, she treated our pets like they were her own and left our home in much better condition than it was in when she got there! Our dogs and cat loved spending the weekend with her!

I genuinely love all dogs. My Corgi has severe separation anxiety so I’m a pro at dealing with dogs with special needs. I have experience with medications for dogs as well as cats and am a Sammie’s friends foster mom.

A typical day

On a typical day we start off with a good walk to get the system all moving and healthy. We will have breakfast and watch the sunrise, and later. a great sunset if we have the chance to catch both! We will enjoy play time with toys, cuddles and snuggles of course, brushing of the coat, and checking for any ticks every evening. We will for sure have fun going to the lake if your dog enjoys the water. Let me spoil your pooch or kitty:)
