Information Melanie J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or if they have any behaviors that I should be aware of that will benefit us on our journey together!

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is all about fun, consistency, and plenty of love! I'm an active person who loves the outdoors, and I enjoy including pets in that time whenever possible. Our day will be tailored to your pet's specific needs and energy levels, but you can count on plenty of fresh air and activity.

Active & Experienced Sitter [WFH]

Pet care experience

Caring for pets is more than just a job for me, it's a lifelong passion. My experience goes far beyond the basics of feeding and walking. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with each pet on an individual level. I'm not just here to follow a routine; I'm here to provide a safe, comforting, and enriching experience for your best friend. I will treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own. You can trust that your furry family member will be in caring and capable hands.

Melanie was a perfect fit for our elderly dogs. She knew just how to work with them and make them feel comfortable. We will certainly be calling on her again when we need a sitter. Thank you.

Melanie has been great! She’s very responsive and flexible when schedules or plans need to shift and communicates clearly, which I really appreciate. She’s also been reliable, on time, and most importantly- kind and attentive with my senior dog. .
