Pet care experience

Will love and treat them as my own

I have spent my life surrounded by animals in one manner or another, from taking great care of my own, to working in wildlife rehabilitation in South Africa. For a time, I also ran my own pet sitting and walking business. I will treat your dog with the same love and dedication as if it were mine and will always go the extra mile to insure that you and your pets are as happy as can be. My hours are flexible. If you have other pets, I have experience with cats, birds -I have a wonderfully lovable and playful Green Cheek Conure- and even certain reptiles such as bearded dragons and various species of geckos. I have worked with plenty of wildlife (monkeys, lemurs, birds, wild cats, and even a hippopotamus!), so I am always ready for anything.

Melanie was the perfect pet sitter. She really has a connection to animals and took excellent care of mine, even sending daily photos. I highly recommend her.

Mélanie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was punctual, polite and very attentive and caring for my pet. She gave me plenty of pictures and updates of him during her visit. She listened to all given instructions and I could tell she genuinely cared for my pets happiness and well-being. I will 100% be booking her again.

I have four indoor kitties that Melanie took care of for me while I was on vacation. She arrived on time for each visit and updated with notes for all visit and photos for most visits. Melanie gave my kitties cuddles and attention, and they warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely recommend her and have booked future visits with her.

Schedule

I run my business from home, so I can work around any schedule. I have a goldendoodle (Bentley) who absolutely loves people and dogs, if you would like a playdate for your dog! I also have 2 cats, (Belle and Bandit). Belle is a special need kitty, so I have experience with administering medications if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I would like to know about any relevant medical information, your dog's temperament and personality, I would like to know about nutritional restrictions or diet. Whether your dog is nervous around people or other dogs. I welcome any information you feel would make me a better friend to your dog. I do not have any breed preference.
