Pet care experience

I have been a animal lover my whole life. When I had to personally hire a pet sitter, I was very particular who I allowed to come into my home and take care of my babies. I was blessed to have found a wonderful sitter. In fact that’s how I became a paid sitter. She hired me to take care of her clients and personal animals when she went on vacation. With over 20 years of experience, I can provide references as well as the posted reviews. Our pets are more than just animals, they are family. I will give your companions the attention they need as well any special request. From dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and farm animals, I have the expertise you need. We all want our pets to be safe, comfortable and cared for while we are away. I'm here to assure you that I will treat your loved ones as one of my own and look forward to meeting your entire pack!

I have known Melanie for years now but more importantly my animals have loved her longer. I found Melanie after I actually previously worked at a boarding facility and saw first hand how my precious fur babies would be treated and in cages while I was away. Not only does she treat my animals like her own but she spoils them more than I do! Im one of those “crazy” pet parents and she even sends me pictures of them while Im away. Having her pet sit actually allows me to enjoy my time away on vacation instead of feeling guilty that I couldn’t bring them with me while on vacation! Also, I do want to say I also feel comfortable with her in our home as it looks better than how we left it! I just really wanted to take the time out and say you would never regret having her take care of your “pets” because she has become a part of our fur family. The only concern I have is sharing her but I can’t be on vacation everyday like we would all like…lol!

Melanie is absolutely the most dedicated caregiver! We can’t say enough wonderful things about her! She had lots of activities planned for him while we were out of town and sent pictures daily of how he was doing. He was so well cared for and loved. She treats Zeke like a family member and that's so comforting to us. He just adores her! We will definitely be using her again and recommending her to everyone.

I started using Melanie F about 20 years ago to take care of my four legged babies. She is so compassionate about the care of the animals well being and really becomes a part of their life. The way she took to my Alex(Dalmatian) and Max(Golden Retriever) was incredible. They both love her and the attention they receive why being with her. I highly recommend Melanie F for taking care of my babies and will continue to use her in the future.

I currently pet sit and book accordingly. My attention to detail allows me to care for 4 households a day. My daily routine includes greeting and walking the client and feedings as well. Some need special attention, so my time is dedicated to that. Making time to care and treat these clients as family is what I do. From walks to belly rubs, these clients have my full attention.
