Loving care for furry friends!

Pet care experience

I've lived with and cared for cats my whole life, and have both lived with and watched dogs of various sizes (and with all kinds of personality quirks) for many years. More than anything I want to be able to give you peace of mind that your baby is safe and happy when you aren't able to be around! As a pet parent I understand the incredible value in that! I currently work a part-time remote job and get to set my own hours. So I have plenty of flexibility when it comes to being available to give your pet all the attention, affection, and playtime they need! I have a home with a small fenced back area (great for quick emergency potty breaks) and am only a couple of blocks away from Patterson Park (perfect for long walks and playtime)! I have a car and am happy to drive to your home throughout the day to check in on your pet or take them on walks.

Mel is the absolute best! She’s so sweet and caring and takes such good care of our kitties. They adore her. She is also great at giving medicine.

Mel is a wonderful sitter for our two kitties. She loves our kitties like they are her own. She spends time with them, understands their needs and is good at giving medicine. I have used Mel many times and she always does a great job!

This was my fourth time having Mel take care of my precious cat and I will definitely book her again and again. She is so good with him and he loves her, giving her all the head butts. Her updates always comfort me that he’s in good hands.

Information Mel P. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any behavioral quirks, like separation anxiety, food aggression, etc. Or if they have issues with other animals or certain people (men, children, etc.), these are very important things for me to know ahead of time along with any medications.

A typical day

If you have an active pup I'd love to take them on long walks at Patterson Park or on hikes at Patapsco. But if your dog is more low-key, I'm just as happy to spend lots of time cuddling & relaxing with the occasional short walk & round of tug-o-war!
