Pet enthusiast who enjoys walks!

Pet care experience

I grew up with hamsters, bunny’s, dogs, cats, fish - you name it! I am currently a cat mom, looking to provide care to any and all pets. Neighbors, friends, and roommates have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets throughout the years. I have experience working and interacting with all types of breeds, ages, and abilities, with the goal to ensure they are happy, safe, and joyful!

Melanie consistently gives our fur baby fine care. We have used her three times now and recommend her with no reservations.

Melanie took great care of my dog, Evie! I got regular updates and photos, and came home to a happy pup!

Melanie was very kind, attentive, and caring. She was a wonderful petsitter and we'd be thrilled to have her care for our cat again!

Melanie took great care of my pup, Evie! She sent me photos and updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard and two roommates who enjoy dogs and cats! My cat is two years old, has interacted with other pets before, and would mainly be sleeping in my room. When I care for other pets outside of my home, I follow the instructions of the owners (feeding time, medical needs, personality/behaviors) and will accommodate based on the pets needs. My goal is to ensure that pets feel safe and comfortable, especially in new environments or if I am in their environment.

Information Melanie F. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the feeding/potty schedule, any fears or quirks, if medication are needed, and how they behave with others. I also like to know what commands they know, treats they prefer, and toys they enjoy!

A typical day

I like to go on long walks and spend time at a park, I do my best to explore new routes as well. I also enjoy play time and nap time!

Availability

I am currently employed full time but I do have the weekends available. I typically go on walks in the evenings or weekends and like spending time outdoors, so thought this could be a good opportunity to connect with nearby cats/dogs who need to be walked or taken care of!
