Highlights
Pet care experience
I love all animals of all sizes!
I have past experience at a veterinary office, with a trained eye for noticing if a pet is acting strange or seems sick. I also have many pets of my own, both furry and aquatic! (4 cats, 1 dog, 2 freshwater aquariums.) Policies: •I do require that all new clients ensure that their pet(s) has a collar + ID tag, and/or a microchip. This helps me keep your pet(s) as safe as possible! •If the outdoor temperature is 90*F or above, all walks will be 15 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of indoor playtime/belly rubs. Your pup’s safety is imperative to me!

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure everyone has plenty of water and healthy food (and treats, too!) Plus I keep on top of cleaning up waste and make sure everyone has a comfy spot to lay.
Ratings and reviews
Mel was absolutely amazing! She was perfect for my crazy zoo! She communicated with me daily, so I always knew what my crew was up to! I had no worries while I was away, because I knew my animals were in good hands! I am absolutely going to rebook her in the future!
Mel took perfect care of our Ety, communicated proactively before, during and after the booking, and thankfully was flexible and worked with me when I got the dates of our trip wrong. Great to have a cat sitter we can rely on near us in Halethorpe, will book again
Mel did such an amazing job with my cats! One had to get teeth pulled the day before we left and she did a great job monitoring and following vet instructions. She even brought her own pill crusher when he struggled to be pulled. I could not have asked for a better and more communicative sitter. I will definitely be using her again
Mel is wonderful! Pippa loves when she comes and we love knowing we have her to take care of Pippa when we are gone.
Mel J. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
I had a lot of pet sitters that in my life over the years but I never have I met anyone as amazing as a male I called to her in an emergency I was unexpectedly hospitalized for an emergency and she took up the job right away she was very professional she send me many messages with questions or clarifications she even brought all my packages from outside in she sat with my with my older cat that has kidney disease she sat with her for a long time just to make sure that she finishes all her food she definitely has a way with cats like I've rarely seen with other pet sitters I she was very friendly and professional and even checked out on my own health and well-being I will never use another pet sitter again I absolutely recommend her 110%

Having a small zoo myself, pet care is already incorporated into my daily routine—I’m just looking to add your pet to the routine! I love getting to bond with new animals : )
