Loving Care for Your FurBabies

I used to work at daycare with all kinds of dogs and cats including seniors. I have a big passion for animals and know how to administer medication if needed. I’ve helped out family and friends with their pets including feeding, potty breaks, playing outside with them, etc.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For clients, I usually stick to schedule with their feeding, potty breaks, etc. I like to keep their food and water bowls clean every time to prevent them from being sick. I take them outside for potty breaks and play with for about 30-40 minutes unless it’s too hot or cold. I also like to keep the owner updated on how their pets are doing and send pictures.

Melanie did a wonderful job with our two dogs. I accidentally booked her for 1 day vs 2 and she jumped right in and helped us for the 2nd night. I would definitely recommend her!

Melanie did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Mollie, while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Mollie was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. As an added bonus, she left our home clean and tidy when we returned. We were extremely pleased with her care and will absolutely use Melanie again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
