Dedicated/Experienced Pet Caretaker

I currently am a proud cat parent, but have taken care of my own, and other’s dogs since I was a kid. I would love to help out with any walking needs for your furry family member! No dog is too big or too small and I’m familiar with puppies and senior dogs as well. My main priority is healthy, happy pets!

House Sitting • Aug 10, 2026

Melaina did house sitting for our two dogs, one of them is blind and senior and needed special attention and medication. Melaina went above and beyond to keep them comfortable. She was prompt in her communication, always on time starting from meet and greet and during her 3 night stay. She kept us posted with timely updates and took really good care of the house!

Dog Walking • Aug 10, 2026

Melaina was professional. She was on time and works well with my dog. She handled Victoria well even though she is large and assertive. I was pleased meet her and do not have concerns about leaving her with my dog which is a large German shepherd.
