Young professional who loves pets!

Pet care experience

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.

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 😊

Melanie is very reliable when dog sitting. She is very attentive and loves animals! She is the “go to” dog sitter and walker in our community, performing many overnight stays at homes and assisting pet owners in caring for their animals. She is a very intelligent and kind young lady who is currently attending USF Tampa.

Melanie has been a long time dog sitter for our sweet aussiedoodle, Lincoln. She has stayed at our home and kept our dog while on short and long trips. She plays with him and treats him just the way we do, with lots of cuddles! I will definitely have Melanie continue to care for our dog!

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!
