Fur Baby Lover!!

My number one priority is your comfort and trust when caring for your fur baby family members. I have taken in and cared for many fur babies. Throughout my 25+ years, I have always had a shelter or stray/foster fur baby in my home. I do have experience with senior and health compromised pets. I am very familiar with giving daily medication. I even had one loving fur son who required insulin shots twice a day. Also, I am very responsible when it comes to regimented feeding times and specific diets. I am a holistic health care practitioner as well. I can give your fur babies energy healing and light massages. Light grooming is also available. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members.

Melanie was great with Whodini. She was consistent, on-time, communicative, patient, and friendly. Melanie followed instructions perfectly. She actually took time with my cat, giving him the needed attention in my absence. Thank you !

Melanie was communicative and thorough in her report cards for our older kitty, it was great to get photos and know she was okay while we were gone. She took care of all her medications, including injected insulin, and gave her some extra cuddle time.

Melanie was fantastic! She was sweet, patient, and kind with my older (shy and sometimes grumpy) cat. The updates and photos from each visit put my mind at ease and I knew my cat was in good hands. Highly recommend and would use Melanie again!

Melanie did a great job checking in on my cats while I was away for a few days. She followed directions and went above and beyond. One of my cats has a daily pill he takes and she was able to give it him, which is extra appreciated!

Melanie was awesome, sent me a bunch of pictures and updates to my cell (app wasn’t responding) she was great helping me with a drop in visit on one of my regular clients when I was going to be away too long and we previously organized it with the doggie owners to have one of my recommended sitters come by and help. She was a life saver and I trust my and my client’s doggies with her. Will always ask her to help me. I recommend her for your fur babies needs :)

Melanie is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my ornery cat with special feeding needs on multiple occasions. She’s reliable, great with cats and so very sweet with even the most cranky cats! My cat Lil Man is a handful and I know I can count on Melanie to take great care of him.
