Pet care experience

24/7 Love & Attention <3!!!

Ever since I was a little girl, I've adored animals. Growing up I've owned a ton of animals such as rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, cats, and dogs. Throughout all those years of taking care of my pets, I have learned the highest standards and provide exceptional quality of pet care. I have working experience being a kennel attendant and vet assistant at veterinary clinics. I have worked with a big variety of different dog/cat breeds and temperaments so I'm very comfortable with all dogs and cats no matter their shape or size! Working as a kennel attendant and vet assistant also has allowed me to properly care for senior or special-needs dogs and cats.

Melanie was amazing with my 11 year old miniature dachshund! She gave me so many updates throughout the weekend! Never once did I worry about my old man! I knew he was in great hands! I highly recommend Melanie and will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you again!

Melanie did such an amazing job watching my cat, Poppy. She updated me on how she was doing, how she ate, and sent me tons of pictures/videos. Poppy’s a three-legged cat so I was worried about how she’d do and Melanie made sure she was comfortable. Definitely leaving Poppy with her again!

Amazing, me and my fiancé are so happy we chose Melanie to be the person that takes care of our pup. We were about to take him to a pet hotel but this is by far the best decision we made in having Melanie watch him. She definitely treated our pup as if it was her own, took great care of him and even sent us pictures to update us on our time away! If you need your pet boarded or walked, Melanie is definitely a good choice for you! A huge bonus is that Melanie worked in the pet industry.

Melanies great! I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of my dogs. She has a lot of experience & it’s obvious she loves taking care of animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment and have plenty of unfenced yard space, in addition to also having two dog parks inside my neighborhood if dog parks are you & your pup's kinda thing! I also own an SUV and live near the Noland trail and would love to take your pup on a walk there if that is something you would be interested in! I have a variety of toys that are good for mental stimulation - for cats and dogs! I can also provide food/water bowls & leashes. *NOTE*: I do live on a 3rd floor apartment building, I have no problem carrying your dog up the stairs if it is necessary (under 50lbs). I also own rodents- However they are caged and should not worry about your pet getting access to them.

Pets

A typical day

I'm a very outdoorsy person and enjoy taking walks and hikes. I'd love to have your fur baby accompany me for some great exercise and physical stimulation! I have a variety of different toys and treat puzzles that allow your pet to get some good mental stimulation as well. If you have any personal requests I will try my best to accommodate that!

It's my main priority to take care of your dogs the same way you would, which is why I like to know all the important details about your furry baby. Does your pet have a certain playstyle or preference? Is your pet energetic or more of a couch potato? Is your pet toy/treat/or food aggressive? Does your pet have separation anxiety? It is also very important for me to know any health conditions that your pet has or if your pet will be needing medications/medical attention during their stay. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the guidelines in my community, I am unable to OVERNIGHT sit Rottweilers, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, Chow-Chows, Saint Bernards, Great Danes, and Akitas UNLESS your pet is registered as an Emotional Support or Service Animal.
