Safety, trust & environment

I feel like it’s very important to make the pet feel safe and loved even when someone they don’t know is in their house. So I always try to stick to the same routine they would have if the owners were home!

Information Mela S. would like to know about your pet

Before I start pet sitting, I always make sure to gather some important information about the pets. I ask about their dietary needs, like what kind of food they eat, how often they need to be fed, and if they have any allergies or dietary restrictions. I also get their medical information, including any medications they need, health conditions, and the vet’s contact details in case of an emergency. I also find it really important to now about their behavioral traits so I can know what to except from the pet

A typical day

When I’m pet sitting, I usually like to take the dogs out for walks in the park, play fetch, and have some cuddle time. I also love to just let them explore their surroundings. It’s all about keeping them happy and entertained!

I love all animals big and small!

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a freshmen in high school. I love it so much and have made many genuine connections with the families and the animals.

Mela was wonderful with my two English bulldogs for a quick weekend trip! She was very responsive and communicated well, and I came back to my home with some very happy (and sleepy!) boys! They may have gone home with her if I let them ☺️ Would highly recommend Mela to stay with your fur babies!

Mela walked my dog Benson and did an incredible job! You can tell she really cares about caring for your dog

Minimal communication/updates, not sure if my instructions were followed. Pretty disappointed

Mela is great! She is super sweet and a great dog sitter. Gave plenty of updates about my pup, and made her feel very comfortable! I would 100% rebook!
