A typical day

I am happy to throw a ball, if he’s into that! We also have a runner in our home that’s always looking for a running mate! Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with trails, a dog park and large sidewalks!

Pet care experience

Thank you for considering me! In my home I love all animals! I really do!! I enjoy cuddling on the couch, taking long walks, and watching movies. I stay home full time, so your animals would receive full time care and love. I have owned almost every type of animal. My love for animals runs deep-I fortered my first pet at the age of 9. I have 3 children and currently own 8 animals! 2 leopard geckos, 1 cat, 2 dogs, a bunny and an aquatic turtle! With more than 26 years of pet owning and sitting, I have lots of experience with high maintenance animals. I also volunteer As a foster parent with the Animal Welfare league of Arlington’s kitten college. I have fostered and rescued cats, kittens and dogs. Prior to that I volunteered in Puerto Rico with the Save a Sato foundation. I gladly accept all breeds of cats and dogs. For house sitting, please know that I only allow fully vaccinated animals, please be prepared to provide vet information. I also only sit for 1 family at a time. I specialize in caring for small caged animals, and specifically reptiles and exotics! Pm me for customization. ;)

Melanie takes amazing care of our cats and provides helpful and cute details and photos so that we know what our cats are up to when we’re gone. The kitties love her and so do we!
