Pet care experience

Young professional who loves pets!

I have always been an animal lover, and have been watching pets for family and friends for about 5 years. I am available for both in and out of home services, and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I currently have one cat, but when I pet sit, it's generally pups! I'm familiar and comfortable with any size and breed, as well as accommodating to any special dietary or medication needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Maintaining open and frequent communication with pet parents is top priority for me! If a client desires frequent updates or photos of their fur babies I will be more than happy to provide them. I also follow feeding and medication regimens very strictly. Additionally, pets will get outside time as much as possible, and cats will get their litterboxes cleaned routinely. Of course, everybody will also get lots of love, pets and belly rubs! In terms of overnight stays, I do everything in my power to leave the home exactly as it was when I arrived. I also have no problem doing some light cleaning if requested!

Melanie did a great job of taking care of our fur babies while we went on a week long cruise. She treated them with kindness and love, even allowing them to snuggle in bed with her. They were well taken care of and seemed happy and content when we got home.

Melanie was an absolute pleasure!! She took care of my Sadie with such patience and kindness (she’s a bit spoiled). She openly communicated and she even stayed a little after the scheduled time to accommodate my travel arrangements. I hope that she becomes Sadie’s full time sitter!!

There are not enough good things to say about Melanie!! My dogs took to her like she was family. She was very caring with them and went above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy. She always came on time and gave great updates. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of them. She is a lovely person and I would recommend her wholeheartedly. I will definitely be using her again!

Melanie was amazing with our dog. Slinky absolutely loved the walks and playtime. She goes the extra mile to make sure your pet is happy and well cared for. I would recommend Melanie 😊
