Kisses are a must from the babies

Pet care experience

I have over 8 years of experience handling dogs of all different sizes and breeds through volunteering with a non profit rescue. I have two dogs and three cats of my own along with fostering from time to time. I also have expricence with reptiles and chickens as well. You won't have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time because I'm more than happy to just hang out and snuggle with them all day long. I've been dog sitting for almost two years now, but I have been around animals my whole life and animals are my life. They always said do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life, and being around the fur babies is what I love.

Mel has been walking my herd for over a year now. My dogs love her. She's on time, reliable, and I totally trust her with my "kids". One is especially fearful (a rescue with MAJOR fear issues) and he has no problem with her. Would highly recommend!

Mel did a great job taking care of our two dogs, three cats and chickens. We were gone for two weeks and Mel dealt with everything thrown at her including giving meds daily to a fussy cat. Wouldn’t hesitate to call on Mel again in the future.

As always Mel is wonderful with our animals. She is very loving and caring. Our dogs felt so much comfortable with her they had no accidents. She was even willing and taught herself how to take care of chicks and hatch them as we were incubating eggs and they hatched earlier then expected. Even our parrot was welcoming of her. Not only is she respectful to our animals she was very respectful of our home. As always will definetly request for her availability on our future getways.

Mel is the greatest, definitely loves animals. She was so caring and understanding of our 2 dogs and went above and beyond in taking care of them. She easily manages our cane corso and Newfie pup. Highly recommended for any services.
