Pet care experience

I love all fur babies!

I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I have been a pet owner since before I was even born. I am active, dependable, and will never leave an animal high and dry. You can trust me not only with your little fur babies, but also with your home. You can rest easy, knowing that I am literally going to love on, and take care of your babies, as if they were my own!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I clean out the pet dishes daily and make sure that water is always filled and that food is fresh. Walking dogs will only be in safe neighborhoods and I will never let them off the leash. I will follow all instructions and also take my shoes off when I enter your home. If your cat requires special attention or wants music or the TV turned on, I can also do that as well so that they have some company while you are away and when I am not there to visit or play.

Melanie, goes above and beyond when she visits Sebastian. Cleaning up after he pukes is not what she has to do, she does it because it's the right thing to do. Thank you, Melanie. You are the best!

Melanie was extra attentive to Sebastian this visit. He just lost his brother earlier this week. She gave him extra pets and love. Melanie always treats Sebastian and Jackson (when he was alive) like they were her own pets.

When Melanie visits my boys, they are always happy to see her and get a tone of chin and ear scratches. Melanie is always looking out for the safety of my cats. One of my cats got their claw stuck in the scratching lost, Melanie quickly helped him get his claw unstuck and then put the scratching post where he could not do this again when someone wasn't there. Melanie truly shows she cares for my cats like they were hers. I highly recommend Melanie if you need someone to look after your pets when you are out of town.

Melanie is kind, intuitive and patient. She walked and fed my 4 dogs with the utmost care. She asked great questions and befriended them all. She is a very reasonable price and we will for sure keep hiring her! She follows instructions well and my babies love her 😇
