Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Second Best Friend

What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school, and since he was a puppy, I've been responsible for feeding him, taking him on walks, playing with him, and making sure he's happy and well cared for. Even today, I still help care for him. I also regularly care for a sweet pug named Cookie, who stays with me anywhere from a week to a couple of weeks at a time. During her stays, I make sure she gets plenty of walks, playtime, affection, and follows her normal feeding routine so she feels comfortable and at home. In addition to smaller dogs, I have experience with large breeds as well. My newest fur baby is a German Shepherd, so I'm comfortable handling bigger, more energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I also have experience caring for adult cats and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I treat every pet like they're my own, and I know how important it is to leave them with someone you can trust. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through reliable, attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a backyard that is fully stone walls with gate to protect the animals! I have fur babies of my own, but they each have their own crates that they are able to sleep in, or I have room to set up a crate for your fur baby as well:)!

Melanie is an outstanding pet caregiver who treats every animal with genuine warmth and attention. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. I'd trust her with my pets any time and recommend her without hesitation.

Melanie watched my dog for a week while I was on vacation over 4th of July. My dog is super skittish and afraid, but Melanie made sure he was comfortable. She kept me updated and sent me lots of photos/videos. I felt much better about leaving my dog now that I have a reliable petsitter in Melanie.
