Pet care experience
I have owned a dog ever since I was 8-years-old. I grew up surrounded by pets: hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs. Pet care has always been a part of my life. In college and since moving to Santa Cruz, I have been cat-sitting and dog-walking for friends.
Reviews
Melanie was fantastic. Super communicative and took my dog on a super fun beach adventure! I would highly recommend her and I will be reaching out to her in the future when I need help with my Lady. (11/10)
Mel is an angel! My dog Chili absolutely loves them. Mel will go out of their way to make my dog feel comfortable and happy, whether that is going on a long walk or just snuggling on the couch. I would recommend Mel with any furry friend!
Mel is a very responsible, kind, and loving, caregiver! They have helped me with my dog who is older and has bad vision. I absolutely recommend Mel as a caretaker for your pets!
Melanie L. is a responsible individual who will take excellent care of your pet. Mel has watched my dog on many occasions. I highly recommend Mel as a dog sitter.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets at clients’ homes, I closely follow the guidelines provided and always follow up with clarifying questions to make sure I am fulfilling your needs. I take responsibility over maintaining a clean environment to show the utmost respect for your home. The apartment I live in is pet-friendly, and I love having furry friends over. I am happy to have pets sleep on the bed with me. If you provide a dog bed or crate, I will gladly set that up! My apartment has a fenced-in front porch where pets love to hang out, and I also live close to the beach, where I love to walk!

A typical day
I love to dog-walk along the beach when possible and play lots of games! Also love a good cuddle and chill time on the couch.
