Pet care experience

Your pet's home away from home!

Hi there! I'm Melanie! I grew up with pets in my house, and taking care of animals has always felt like second nature to me. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit to check on your cat, a walk to burn off your pup's energy, or house sitting while you're away, I treat every pet like they're my own. By day, I'm a registered nurse, so caring for others (two-legged or four-legged) is basically what I do. I'm calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously, whether that's a patient or your pup. I know how much peace of mind matters when you're trusting someone with your home and your best friend, and you'll get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Here are few things you can count on with me. 
House Sitting: your home and pet cared for like I live there myself
. Drop in visits: feeding, playtime, and a little extra love.
 Dog walking: tailored to your dog's energy level and pace Between shifts, I'm easy to reach, flexible with scheduling, and genuinely love what I do. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my clients pets by ensuring safety as my number 1 priority. This means, no food or treats are accessible for your furry friend to eat, no small objects or socks or anything is accessible for them to eat or ingest, there are barriers to other peoples rooms, and I will always be sure to know where the nearest pet emergency hospital is, just as a precautionary measure.

Melanie was amazing! So sweet and very communicative. Winston became best friends with her in literally 30 seconds. She sent us tons of pics and Winston was so happy when we got home! Would definitely recommend!!

Melanie took great care of our pup, took her to the dog park regularly and kept sending us regular updates with photographs. We are going to board our dog again with her for a longer time!

Melanie did a great job with Oso, he was so happy when he came home and Melanie took great care of him with constant pictures and updates throughout the weekend. She took him to the park and on runs every day, and even went to the store and picked up extra food for him when I ran out. I will definitely use her again when I am out of town.

Unfortunately I didn't meet her in person but she was very easy to communicate with and quick response. My dog was very happy and not crazy when I came home so I knew he had good walk.

Melanie Ann is very sweet and she gave some extra loving care to my frenchie Blu! He got allergies and Melanie was so nice to communicate with me with regards to medicine and was giving him Benadryl. Thank you very much- i felt content and relaxed while traveling relying on Melanie:)

I would like to know if the dog needs any special care or medicines administered to them. I am also open to any special needs dogs. My dog was old and I had to administer daily medications, carry her up and down stairs, and wash her with medicated shampoo.
