Pet care experience

Loving care for every paw & claw!

Hi there, fellow pet parent! My name is Melanie, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by paws, whiskers, feathers, and even the occasional scales. From dogs and cats to turtles and lizards (and everything in between), I’ve cared for them all—including those with health quirks and big personalities. My current furry companions are a charming 6-year-old Balinese cat and a wise 14-year-old Shih Tzu, both of whom remind me daily that senior pets deserve all the love and snuggles. Working from home full-time, I offer a safe, cozy, and love-filled environment with a fully fenced backyard and a flexible walking and eating schedules. Whether it’s anxiety-prone pups or feisty felines, I’m here to give your pet the VIP treatment—because in my book, a house is never a home without animals. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy! **Je suis aussi francophone pour mes petites boules de poils qui comprennent les commandes en francais! :-)

Melanie is an amazing dog sitter. She really cares about the dogs that she takes care of, and makes sure they’re always comfortable. We were sent pics an updates daily which was amazing. We highly recommend Melanie!

Our cat Toast had a short stay with Melanie - but she was fantastic! Super accommodating, great communication, and you can tell how passionate she is about animals! ☺️

Mes chiens ont eu un magnifique séjour chez Mélanie. Elle a été très attentive à leurs besoins et excellente dans ses communications avec nous. Les chiens ont reçu beaucoup d’amour pendant nos vacances. Je réserverais à nouveau sans hésitation !

I have a fully fenced backyard and a home surrounded by green spaces, I can accomodate any walking or eating schedules, and crate your furry baby if needed. And if your dog or cat enjoys snuggling up at night, they’re welcome to join the family in bed—just be prepared for them to become the star of the blanket tug-of-war.
