About Melanie F.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important trust is when caring for your pet. When your pets are in my care, I will make sure they are fed, walked, and overall cared for. I will treat you, your home, and your pets respectfully and with genuine intent, just like I would with my own home and pets.

Information Melanie F. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I would like to know of any allergies, fears, or anxieties they may have, their typical schedule, and favorite activities so I can provide the best care catered specifically for them.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet starts with making sure they have fresh water, food according to their schedule, and plenty of attention. Depending on their needs and energy level, we may go for walks, spend time playing, or simply relax together. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well.

Hi my name is Ellen Farrell, I have know Melanie for 26 years we grew up next door to one another. She is a very loving, caring, and committed individual who would help immediately if needed. For instance when my family goes away even on short notice and she so kindly watches all our fur babies with no trouble and we have always a had a great experience with her around our dogs, they love her and she always makes sure they get everything they need food, water, attention, play, walks, kisses ect. We have had 4 fur babies she has watched over the years and we couldn't be luckier to have her as our pet sitter. She would be great for this position not only because her love for animals but her dedication to what she sets her mind to, I know Melanie would be a great pet caregiver to any fur baby that needs her! Please feel free to reach out with any further questions!
