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. ;)
Reviews
Melanie provides excellent care for our two cats! She is so kind and provides great updates and photos while she is caring for our pets and her communication is excellent. We will definitely have Melanie back next time we need a sitter!
Melanie made us feel so at ease during our first trip away from our dog and cat. And both our pets clearly loved her! We were very comfortable having Melanie stay at our house to care for the animals during our trip and she was so great about sharing photos and updates with us (clearly we were more anxious than our pets). Our cat requires daily medicine so it was very reassuring to have a confident and experienced pet sitter like Melanie. We loved being able to meet with Melanie in advance and it worked well to hire her for a couple walks before our long trip - although we have to admit our pets liked her immediately so they didn’t really need a lot of prep time. We are very grateful she was with our pets for this long trip and we will be hiring her again!
Melanie did a wonderful job caring for our 2 anxious dogs! We really appreciated the updates and pictures. Melanie is great with dogs and they seemed to have fun with her. Would rebook with Melanie!
We received so many amazing updates which gave us a smile every day we were gone 🥰

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!
