Pets should be treated like family!

I used to help my parents with pet sitting when I was younger. I’m usually the friend who everyone calls on to check on their animals when they are away.

Melanie was an excellent caretaker of your two cats while we were gone on vacation. She was always on time and spent time with them. She oversaw our needs that we indicated to her and felt that she was very experienced and loving towards our cats. We would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a pet caretaker.

Schedule

After getting laid off in the beginning of 2023, l wanted to do something that made me happy. Dog walking/pet sitting was just that! I am an avid runner, so I am not going to just give your dog the bare minimum, when it comes to walks! I am free M-F during the day, and some nights. I am also available on weekends, depending on if I have a race/event.
