Pet care experience
I grew up in a house with two rescue dogs and various others pets at any given moment. I currently have a guinea pig that receives much love, attention, and care. I will show your family member the same (if not more) love, attention, and care! I have been dog sitting since high school and have experience with several different breeds, sizes of dogs, and care needs. I studied psychology at university, which provided me with a vital addition to the personal experience I have with dogs. Having taken classes in learning and even behavioral neuroscience has given me this foundation to understand the best ways to care for your beloved pet. Dogs and pets always lift my spirits, causing me to be a better caregiver. I look forward to hearing from you
Reviews
We are so thankful for Melanie's services caring for our cat, Stella, while we were out of town. Melanie is very communicative, provided the cutest pictures/videos and thorough updates during her visits, and we couldn't have asked for a better care taker. We highly recommend Melanie and would love to have her back in the future.
Melanie has been great to work with and wonderful with our dog. I just wish we’d engaged her sooner! Communication was great and our pup always came back tired and happy. Would absolutely recommend Melanie!
Reliable and went the extra mile.
So responsive and helpful!
