About Melanie H.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very friendly dog of my own but not a friendly cat so I will have to pet sit in your home for your pets safety and my cats safety. I make sure my animals are fed and taken care of properly and I’m not afraid to clean up messes when needed

Information Melanie H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has an quirks I may need to now about, if they pull when on a leash, and if you’d like update pictures when I visit or not

A typical day

A typical day for me depends on my dogs mood. We usually try to go for at least one walk around the block every day and then go home and snuggle in bed afterwords

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of and loving my own animals and my family’s animals since I was young and they’ve trusted me since I was a teenager to help take care of their animals and walk them when they are gone

Melanie is amazing with pets and feels a very strong emotional attachment to them. She is able to adapt and connect with any animal so they listen with little to no trouble.

Melanie loves all animals and is a very caring person. She takes wonderful care of our pets while we are on vacation. She can be trusted to be careful with your pets and treat them as lovingly as she treats her own.

Melanie is a wonderful pet caregiver and advocate. We have always had cats in our home as well as dogs from family members. She loves all animals and wants the very best for them. She has cleaned up after them from an early age, feed them and cleaned litter boxes and taken care of family pets when they were out of town. She is very reliable and friendly and it is clear that she loves all animals as though they are her own.
