Pet care experience

Hi my name is Melanie! I’m a huge animal lover so your pets will have lots of fun going for walks, playing, resting and being loved on by me! I love sending owners pictures and updates on how their pet(s) is doing. I’v had many animals of my own and have many years of caring for animals of others as well! I can’t wait to meet and care for your pet!

Wow was I impressed. Melanie was responsible, kind, and great with my two cats. One of my cats is a fiesty calico who usually shows affection only to me (she snubs everyone else). I warned Melanie that this cat would probably hide the entire time. However, within hours, Melanie was sending me pics of this cat playing and wanting to be pet. That is unbelievably rare! Melanie has a way with animals. I was also grateful to her for sending me regualr updates. And I came home to two relaxed animals and a tidy and clean house.

Melanie did a great job for us! We have a senior pup who can be cranky, and she was amazing with him. She did a nice job of providing updates and pictures! She was very communicative, and we felt very reassured leaving our dog with her! Will definitely use her again!

Melanie was outstanding! She was communicative, conscientious, and caring. Booking her was super easy as she keeps her calendar up to date and responds quickly. Our pooch is a senior girl and sometimes it is hard for her when her humans aren't around, but Melanie made her feel relaxed and secure. Not only was she attentive to our dog, she was attentive to our home. We have complete confidence in Melanie and highly recommend her. Thank you Melanie for taking such great care of Merlot. <3

Melanie was able to sit on short notice after another sitter cancelled. She took great care of my dog who has kidney disease, including meds and special food. She took him for walks, car rides that he loves, play dates with his neighborhood freinds and kept me updated with pictures. He really liked her. She also ran the dishwasher and took care of her bedding. Very resonsible and caring. I would highly recommend Melanie.
