Pet care experience

College Student Pet Pro 🐱🐶

I've been looking after all sorts of furry friends since I was 10 – from my neighbors' to my friends' and family's pets. Pups or seniors, I've got a knack for them all! Giving extra care to the older ones are my specialties that make me stand out as a pet sitter. My whole life I have loved all animals!

Melanie took care of our pets while we were away backpacking with no service. Sent plenty of photos for us to see on our return! We travel for work, so having someone stay in a 17ft travel trailer to care for a dog and cat is outside of most people norm. She did a great job though!

Melanie always takes amazing care of our doggies. She showed up last minute, accepted our change of plans, and ran with it. Our dogs love her and you can tell. She keeps our home nice and clean as well. She sends us photos which I appreciate because I always miss my pups. Thanks so much Melanie. You are so amazing!

Melanie was great with Mala. She sent lots of photos and I felt comfortable letting her into my home to walk my pup. I will use her services again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

In clients' homes, I stick to their pets' routine and environment, ensuring they feel comfortable. Regular walks, playtime, and proper feeding are essential components. Communication with clients is key, providing updates and maintaining trust. Rest assured, your pets will receive the same level of care and attention they're accustomed to.

A typical day

When I spend time with the dogs I watch, I like to keep the fun rolling! We'll embark on exciting walks to local parks, where they can explore new scents and stretch their legs. Fetch is always a hit – whether it's in a nearby park or a secure backyard. I also enjoy interactive games like tug-of-war and hide-and-seek to stimulate their minds and keep tails wagging. Rest assured, I'll tailor activities to each dog's preferences and energy levels, ensuring they have a tail-wagging good time every moment we're together.

I love all animals & breeds. I am very confident and comfortable with my abilities with senior dogs, puppies, kittens, cats and dogs that need extra care. Information that is important for me to know is if your furry friend has any history in biting or aggression towards other dogs. I believe in building a genuine connection with each furry friend. From interactive playtime to cozy cuddles, I ensure they feel comfortable and loved. What sets me apart is my strong communication skills – I'll keep you updated so you're never far from your pet's adventures. As an animal lover, I know how to engage cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies both mentally and physically, making sure they have a happy and healthy time. With me, your pet will be cherished and cared for just like you would. Let's create a wonderful experience for your beloved companion.
