No animal too big or too small!

I have taken care of all sorts of animals, from cats to dogs to hamsters. I am currently a student in College in Sacramento studying Animal Science!

Safety, trust & environment

Within a clients home the dog/ cat will definitely be more comfortable. And I will respect any wishes or needs your fur baby might have, when working in a clients home I know that the animal needs time to take in a new scent and person, and I am extremely patient with them to make them feel as comfortable as possible!

House Sitting • Jun 01, 2026

I booked Melanie literally like a week before my trip. She made accommodations and met me the next day after booking to come meet our lil Henry! She replied to my texts super fast and was open about any needs or questions. She kept me updated regularly and sent lots of pictures which allowed me to enjoy our time away!!! On top of caring for Henry, she was genuinely funny and enjoyable to communicate with. It was clear to me that she truly cared and treated him like he was her own! I already got another lil gig for her because I know for a fact he'll be in good hands! LOVEEE HERRRRR!!! 10/10!!

Melanie is a natural with the doggos. She has been so gentle and calm with my anxious and reactive rescue. I will undoubtedly hire her again and again :)
