Pet care experience

Loving care from a trained vet 🩺🐶

I’m a licensed veterinarian from Argentina with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I recently moved to Miami and I’m excited to offer loving, professional pet care in my new community. What sets me apart? I bring medical knowledge, attention to detail, and a deep love for animals to every visit. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet with special needs—I know how to make them feel safe, calm, and loved. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring behavior, and handling emergencies if needed. With me, your pet gets both emotional comfort and expert care. Your pet will be in caring, capable hands. I treat every animal like part of the family. 🐾💛

Doggy Day Care • Jan 12, 2026

Melanie was so thoughtful and helpful and friendly. My dog had a great time with her and her dog for the day. Highly recommend.

Melanie took amazing care of my puppy, Lola. From the start, she was patient, loving, and knew exactly how to handle a hyperactive little dog. Being a veterinarian, she gave me so much peace of mind, especially since Lola is still learning routines and boundaries. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, and I could tell Lola was happy and well cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful I found her — I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup now!

Schedule

I work from home so caring for pets is a meaningful part of my routine. I make sure to dedicate quality time and attention to each animal, whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits smoothly into my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort above all. At my home, I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and happy. I have a spayed dog who is friendly and well-socialized, and I’m able to keep pets separated if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. When caring at your home, I respect your space and routines, following all instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. As a veterinarian, I’m trained to spot any health concerns early and act responsibly in case of emergencies. Your pet’s well-being and trust are my top priorities.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for includes plenty of love, play, and relaxation. We start with a morning walk or some gentle exercise to get their energy flowing. Throughout the day, I make sure they have time to rest, eat, and enjoy companionship. I love playing fetch, gentle games, and offering lots of cuddles and belly rubs. For more active pets, I tailor activities to their needs, whether it’s running in the park or exploring new scents. I pay close attention to each pet’s mood and health, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for all day long.
