Caring for your Baby

I absolutely love dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! 🐾 I’m a graduate student who works from home full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and dependable care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime. Whether they love belly rubs and playtime or prefer to nap the day away, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’m comfortable caring for shy, anxious, or easily startled pets and will always approach them with patience and gentleness. I’ll also send plenty of photos and videos so you can stay updated while you’re away! 📸❤️ Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or special instructions. I’d love to get to know your fur baby! 🐶🐱

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently offering drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting but no longer boarding animals. I always arrange meet and greets before booking a service so that everyone involved feels comfortable, safe, and at ease.

Melanie was great and took really good care of our pets. She was good with direction and made sure to keep us update and maintain a peace of mind knowing we were away from our pets!

We can’t recommend Melanie highly enough. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she kept us in the loop with regular photos and updates. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands, and we appreciated that she never left our pup alone for long stretches. We came home to happy, well cared for pup and will absolutely be booking with her again.
