I love my job!

Pet care experience

If you're worries that your pet isn't getting enough exercise, love, and attention when you're not there, I'm here to help! I grew up with dogs, and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and all other kinds of pets. As a trained chef I'm also available to help with specialty meal planning and preparation for tricky diets, or to provide homemade dog treats. I am a primary caregiver to young boys, one with special needs, and need to be available for them when they need me. Taking care of your pets is my full time job. I understand that it can be scary to leave your pet in someone else's care, and your comfort is a top priority. In my care your pet will be taken care of, spoiled with loved, and made as happy as possible while you are gone.

Melanie is such a great dog sitter. We continuously use her when we have to go into the office. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond for my dog. My dog takes a while to warm up to people so I’m grateful that she still wants to come back and dog sit for us 😂. Highly recommend using her!!

Melanie is just the best. She’s responsive, flexible, reliable, and absolutely loves and cares for these animals. Oscar loves when she comes by to take him for his walks! I highly recommend Melanie she’s awesome

Melanie took such great care of my dog for the weekend. She came over a few days earlier to meet my dog and take some notes. She kept me updated with every visit leaving comments and pictures so I could see my dog. She’s great at her job and if available will most definitely have her sit my dog again. Thank you for taking such great care of my Braxie boy!

We appreciate Melanie’s care for our kitties and feel reassured that they are being well looked after when we are away! She is awesome.
