Animal loving CNU student

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Melanie, I am a current student at Christopher Newport University. I live in a single family home with two roommates and one sweet, small senior dog who loves other dogs! I have been a caregiver for humans, pets and homes alike for 10 years. I have been an avid user of a babysitting website for almost 4 years and have loved every second of providing care to families and their most important members, including their fur family! I have two family dogs in Northern Virginia that I adore and have been known to be somewhat of an expert in making even the most skittish pups comfortable with me! I cannot wait to provide expert and unfailing care for your animal, so you can travel and relax with peace of mind!

Melanie was wonderful. We were away for five days and our dog Jackie really bonded with her while we were away. She seemed so sad to see Melanie go when we got home. Melanie sent us daily updates and lost of photos. She also played with and walked Jackie frequently. She successfully negotiated the fairly complex feeding routines for our dog and cat, and was resourceful when the power went out in a windstorm. Our home was in beautiful shape when we returned.

Melanie was super awesome and helpful with watching Karlos. She kept constant communication and I felt comfortable with how understanding and how good she was towards my dog; we felt like he made a new friend! We were extremely satisfied with Melanie’s service.

Melanie is kind, responsible and trustworthy. She was my primary summer babysitter for my two girls for the last 4 years, and also cared for our one dog and one cat in our home while traveling abroad last summer. Not only is she a great babysitter, but it is evident how much she loves animals and how much they love her back! Our 7 year old German Shepard rescue waited by the window every morning and whined with excitement whenever she arrived. Hiring Melanie brought so much joy to my family’s life!
