Artistic, fun loving, dog & cat mom

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Mel. I had a hard time coming up with years of experience because I've had dogs and cats my whole life. My pets are my top priority and your fur babies will be too. I love all types of dog and cat care, from going on long walks to snuggling on the couch. I have experience taking care of all types of dogs, including dogs with health issues and allergies. I've worked with dogs who have experienced trauma and abuse (including my own girl Willow), and with handling dogs who have dog aggression. Willow is also high energy so I can definitely be a fast walker to help spend some of your lively dog's energy! I am fully vaccinated and take the necessary, mask-wearing precautions! I am available for walks, playtime, and staying overnight.

Mel was awesome taking care of my great dane Lucy, and even came over before hand to meet her to make her more comfortable and stayed over with her. Greatly appreciated her help and will be using her for future pet sitter needs.

Mel was great with my pets and kept me updated with pictures while I was out of town. Highly recommend her for any of your pet-sitting needs!

Mel was a great care giver and communicator. During the week we were gone she took care of our old and increasingly feeble dog. When he balked at going out in the rain(and it rained most of the week) she contacted us and asked for tips about taking him out. She managed to convince him he could go out in the rain. She sent some great pictures of our pooch while we were gone. We found both the dog and the house in good shape when we returned. I really appreciated her willingness to accommodate my pet’s eccentricities and some unexpected schedule changes. Five stars for a job well done!

Mel was great with Ceci! Spoiled her rotten with lots of walks and couch cuddles. We appreciated getting a daily picture and update via text as well. We also appreciated Mel's willingness to feed our goldfish and water our outdoor plants during excessive heat. Will definitely hire again!
