Pet care experience

I’ve always had animals in my family since I was a little girl, so taking care of cats and dogs comes easy to me. Pet care is something that I really enjoy doing, I have a deep love for all animals and fall in love with every pet I meet! I also help feed the local cats whenever I am on my university’s campus, Grand Canyon University had a Trap-Neuter-Release club that I volunteered with while on campus.

Eggar is usually shy around new people, but took to Mel immediately. She couldn't have been better with him. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.

Mel did a great job taking care of our two senior dogs. She was prompt with their medication and their food, especially with one of our babies, who is very picky with her food and doesn't like taking her pills. She was also very good about taking them out to potty on time and taking care of all their needs. Mel is also very sweet, friendly, and polite. We would recommend her to anyone!

After nine days I returned home and my pups were happy and healthy!

Mel gave me peace of mind while sitting with my dogs that have separation anxiety. We had out of town guests and were able to enjoy coming home to an accident free house. I definitely recommend Mel!

Safety, trust & environment

I feel like someone’s home is their sacred space and it should respected. When I go to someone else’s home to take care of their pet, I do what I need to do and stay in my respective space, where I know I’m allowed to be.

Information Mel R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to me that I know if the dog has any bad habits like chewing or digging, and if I need to watch them while they use the bathroom, etc. I don’t have any dog breed preferences, I personally have a pit mix, so I know breed prejudices are misleading.

A typical day

I enjoy playing with dogs and their favorite toys, I usually walk dogs around the neighborhood that they reside in. If they know any tricks, I enjoy practicing with them or even teaching them something new. If the owner allows it, I might even grab them a pup cup from Dutch Brothers :)

I am not currently at university and I only work part time during the week, so I have a lot of time on my hands, why not spend it taking care of someone’s pet!
