Safety, trust & environment

I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.

Information Mela R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or specific behaviors I should look out for. My priority is making sure your pet senses I am trustworthy.

A typical day

I provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and calm companionship, tailoring activities to each pet’s energy, personality, and comfort level daily with care. Please let me know of any pet needs, even if they just like watching tv!

Reliable Pet Care & Updates

Pet care experience

I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨

Mela was amazing! She did such a great job sending pictures and keeping us updated. We felt so comfortable knowing our pups was in good hands! She will definitely be our go-to dog sitter! 🐶
