Melanie can care for
Availability
Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m currently available every day of the week. I do prefer bookings at least a week in advance so I can meet your pet and make sure they’re comfortable with me.

About Melanie D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I understand that changes in routine or new people can be stressful, so I take things at their pace and aim to make the experience calm and positive.
Information Melanie D. would like to know about your pet
It’s helpful to know if your dog is friendly toward people and other dogs, or if they’re anxious, shy, or reactive. For cats, I appreciate knowing their usual hiding spots and comfort areas. I also like to know their daily routine, where they enjoy being pet, and anything that helps them feel safe and at ease.
A typical day
We’ll go on neighborhood walks and play with any toys they enjoy. I tailor activity levels to each dog’s energy and needs, making sure they get the right balance of exercise and mental stimulation.

Cats on Their Own Terms
Cat care experience
I focus on making cats feel secure in their own space, paying attention to routines, cleanliness, and any medical needs without rushing or forcing interaction.
Reviews
Pepper had a great time with Melanie while we were on vacation. She stayed at overnight at our home and looked after dog very well even after the dog had a little hiccup with the leash and harness. Melanie is respectful and a great communicator. We all appreciate Melanie very much and look forward to hiring her again!.
Melanie was great with my pups!
Melanie is a fantastic pet sitter! I have used her service several times in the past few years and could not be happier with the attention she provides to my aging fur baby! I enjoy receiving her check-in updates and photos. Highly recommend.
Melanie has watched our cat Gilda several times and is consistently reliable and dedicated! She does such a great job. We’re very thankful for her!
