Tender, Loving Care for Your Babies

I grew up with animals (dogs, cats, small furry friends) in my home and did some pet care during college (mostly walking a young puppy and feeding and letting out a senior dog). I am currently looking to fill my free-time doing something I love! I have three cats of my own, and would love to help keep your furry family members happy and healthy as if they were my own! I work at Oberlin College in a student support role and am fortunate to have a moderately flexible schedule. I am most interested in helping with dog walking as I spend a lot of time at a desk during the day and am looking for a productive way to be more active; however, I am open to any other type of care for any other type of pet! I volunteered at a cat shelter for three years, so I am very well-versed in taking care of high-needs pets, administering meds, working with shy pets, etc. If you have a pet that needs to get some energy out or some snuggles in when you're not around I'm your girl!

Melanie is extremely reliable and responsible. We have used her multiple times over the years and will continue to do so. Could not recommend more!

I want to be sure that both you and your pet are as happy as you can be with my services. That being said, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help your pet feel safer with me or to help you feel safer with me taking on such a precious responsibility.
