Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday evenings, with flexibility depending on your pup’s needs. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay.

Calm, caring sitter you can trust

Pet care experience

I’m a true animal lover who has been volunteering at a local rescue for 2 years, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts of my week. My background in luxury hospitality allows me to bring warmth, compassion and attention to detail to every interaction and I will ensure your pup feels safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while with me. Working with dogs of all personalities has given me a real understanding of dog behavior, body language, and what makes each pup feel safe, calm and loved. I specialize in smaller dogs and offer a peaceful, calm environment where your pup can truly relax.

This was a first time leaving our pups with a dog sitter. And Melanie was fantastic… attentive, kind and kept us updated on how the pups were doing, including pictures. I highly recommend Melanie for anyone looking to have someone watch over your fur babies.

Melanie has cared for my poodle for years! She would keep her over night for several days, sometimes even weeks, and my poodle was treated AMAZING! I used to joke that my pup didn’t want to come because she had it so good at Ms Mel’s. If you’re debating a pet sitter for your fur babies, debate no further. Hire Mel!
