Pet care experience
I have been caring for dogs and cats many years and make sure they are in good hands and have an awesome time away from their mommy/daddy. And perhaps I am guilty of spoiling them by allowing them to explore the home freely. I do foster for a dog rescue as well as I own a Jack Russell Mix.(see picture) I am happy to do drop ins on your cats while you are on a trip and spend time with them daily. I will be happy to clean after your pet while pet sitting at your home. No pet hair or cat litter will be waiting for you when you return from your trip. I can provide references if needed for dog or cat sitting.
Reviews
Yogi loved his stay at Melanie's. She was very accommodating with our timing requests. She took Yogi on walks, paid attention to all our requests related to his schedule and provided updates with pictures. Melanie is pleasant to talk to and I would definitely send Yogi back to her!
Melanie took great care of my dog while we were on vacation for a long weekend. She made a point to have a trial before so her sweet dog could meet mine and after it went well we arranged for the 4 day boarding at her house. She sent me pictures and messages daily and was quick to reply when coordinating. My dog seem happy when I picked him up and I will definitely think of her when I have to board him again.
My puppy was very happy with Melanie. She required a initial meet and greet with the puppy a couple of days before the actual stay to see if he would be comfortable with her. This was good for me too to see how they both would interact. When my dog missed me, she slept with him. She sent regular updates and photographs. I would definitely leave my dog with her again.
Melanie has been amazing with my little baybee. She had no problems meeting him prior to the actual scheduled walk,which was amazing as JR is little skittish with strangers but he looked his happy self in the pics Melanie send. I will use Melanie again (if she’s up for anoutherJR session) and would highly recommend her.
