Pet care experience

Reliable, attentive and experienced

I am an animal lover, besides having had several dogs growing up, I’ve also volunteered for pet shelters as a foster parent. I love nature, hiking, teaching, children and of course animals. I have done plenty of house sitting, pet sitting and baby sitting. I have glowing references from previous clients, I’m available immediately and open to various tasks. I like to make sure your home is well taken care of as well as your pets. Communication is key. Let me provide you with the house sitting experience you deserve :)

Our 2 golden girls love Melanie. She took wonderful care of them while we were gone and made sure to send us pictures and feedback on how they were doing. We couldn't ask for any better care for our furbabies. Mahalo Melanie

Melanie was fantastic. She was comfortable staying with my 5 dogs and did a great job. She stayed in contact & sent some photos while i was away. I felt totally safe leaving my home & dogs in her care. I will definitely be using her again!

Wasn't honest. Stayed at house rather than coming and going for the 4 visits. She asked to stay on Sat but never asked to stay on Sun. She just stayed at our house and used our wifi on both days then charged for 4 visits. And she charged more than was quoted on top of the staying without permission. It was 2 visits. We were very disappointed in the end.

I would recommend Melanie to anyone and everyone. She is the absolute sweetest soul and she takes such great care of my kitties! And my home too. I cannot thank her enough! It’s nerve wracking to have someone else in your home but she did not worry me one bit, so genuine and so trustworthy.

I currently work from home and I love making pet friends that keep me company and come with me on walks. Specially the ones that make me get off my chair and move my body!

41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Melanie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I love all kinds of dogs from the little crazy chihuahuas to the big friendly pitbulls! It's important for me to know if the dog has any special needs, maybe learn tricks that make them happier, favorite toys and treats, special names they are called, and just anything I could learn to make the furry friend more comfortable....
