Highlights
Pet care experience
Auntie Mel / The Platinum Paw
*Note* At the first of the year, I will solely be focused on The Platinum Paw. I began with Rover years ago when I was a single mom doing what it took to provide for my boys. Years later, I continue to provide platinum level care because I love what it brings to you as owners as well as myself. I have had animals most of my life, volunteered as an adoption counselor and fostered for a local pet rescue. I have also trained dogs of my own. I love loving on animals and giving them the attention they need. Not only do I get to love on your fur babies, but this fills my heart. I simply do this because I want to (yes it’s income generating, but that allows me to go above and beyond my career to have adventures with my boys). I know that your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as your human ones. When given the opportunity, I will take care of them as my own. They will get plenty of attention and the snuggles they desire. Do you have other household pets? Reptiles? Guinea pigs? Hamsters? I will gladly take care of all of them too! Contact me and we’ll work something out!

Safety, trust & environment
I strive for a seamless transition while you are away. My goal is to interact with them the same as if you were there to reduce any anxiety. The more information you provide, the better experience it is for all of us!
Ratings and reviews
Melanie is amazing! She's very reliable and is always giving me updates and the pics she sends are great. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Melanie B. helped me with my kitty when I went away recently for a trip. She dropped in to visit him and did a fabulous job. My kitty is very shy but Melanie was so patient and caring with him. He hardly ever warms up to anyone but he certainly warmed up to Melanie and I am so thankful for her services. She was also so timely and considerate to me and my family throughout the whole process of getting set up and also during the visits. I would highly recommend her!
Melanie is my goto pet sitter and has been since I moved to the area. She's punctual and has great communication! She's great at giving my cat his medication and the other cats are comfortable with them to cuddle. Highly recommend!
Melanie has great communication! My cats are very comfortable with Melanie! Melanie is my go-to pet sitter for when I go on vacation. She administers the medication for my cat so I can trust my cat gets his meds. Highly recommend! She is punctual and communicative!
I would definitely use her again, highly recommended. She was so good at sending me pictures and giving me details of the dogs activities every visit.
Melanie was fantastic! Every time she came she left us detailed notes of the visit along with photos of our pups! We would absolutely book her again & feel very comfortable doing so!

Schedule
I have a flexible yet busy schedule, therefore you can expect me to be there as promised. I love animals, but I also love time back. Therefore, I have a very flexible cancellation policy.
