Pet care experience

Pawsitively Professional Pet Sitter

As a pet owner, I understand that our fur-babies need to feel safe, patience, and love, especially when dealing with new environments/people, which is the type of atmosphere I try to create. I also understand that sometimes, things won’t always go as planned, so I’m very flexible and willing to go the extra mile to make sure both you and your pet have a comfortable and great experience!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that food and water bowls are clean. I pick up after any stool or potty accidents left behind by pet. I make sure there’s nothing out in the spaces the pet will be in that could possibly cause them danger, and if so, move them away/out of reach from pet. If on a walk, I make sure that harness is secure and sturdy enough to hold pet. I also make sure to have a firm grasp on leash before leaving out with pet.

Melanie was a perfect fit for my two kitties. She put my mind at ease knowing that when I'm away, Melanie will step in and take care of them. Her photos were great to see and I can tell my kitties were happy to see her. I definitely want to have Melanie back to care for my cats.

Melanie stopped by and did an enthusiastic check in on our Basset hound and anti-social kitty. She did a thorough visit and sent us loads of photos and videos of our fur babies. I highly recommend booking her to care for your pets.

Melanie is fantastic. All three of our dogs love her. She responded quickly. She was on time and followed our directions. She played with the dogs until they were done. We are so happy to have someone watch our pups that we can trust.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs I should be aware of and/or take into consideration. I want them to have as much of a comfortable transition as possible when under my care.
