Pet care experience

Spend quality time with your pet!

I love animals! I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. As I mentioned below, I am outdoorsy and frequently out on trails or urban hiking. I would love a dog's companionship. I've also been a lifelong cat owner. I'm patient and attentive to every pet's needs. I currently have pretty open availability including on weekends. I'm also happy to sit and stay overnight if desired. Lastly, I'm very communicative and easy to stay in touch with. I look forward to meeting your pet!

Melanie did a great job with my kitties. I can tell they were well cared for and chill happy boys when I came home. Even my very shy older guy came out of hiding and let her pet him! I would definitely recommend Melanie and will definitely ask her to cat sit again!

Melanie did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, she was super sweet and seemed to think of everything to make him comfortable. Will definitely hire her again.

Melanie was great! She watched my cats for a little over a week and always gave me detailed updates.

Melanie watched Charlie during the first time I had left him for an extended period of time since quarantine, & he admittedly had some behavioral issues due to anxiety. Melanie was very patient, & made a greater effort to make him feel more comfortable & safe. I’m really grateful she was so accommodating & gave me confidence that he was in good hands.

I'd like to know about the dog's personality. Whether he/she is more anxious and takes time to warm up to a new person, is friendly and excitable, calm, etc.
