Pet care experience

focused care for your furry family

I've taken care of puppies, handled diaper changing for a physically handicapped dog, administered medications and daily vitamins, walked multiple dogs at a time, and have handled emergency vet visits for a dog with a seizure disorder. I truly enjoy spending time caring and playing with animals, they add so much to my life.

Melanie was wonderful. She seemed kind, caring and took great care of my pets. Even my old cat, Ernest T liked her!! And most people have to come here several times before they even see him! I would definitely recommend Melanie.

Melanie was great with my dogs. This is the first time I used a dog sitter, and she did amazing. I really appreciate having her watch my fur babies. I would definitely book Melanie again if I come up in the area in the future.

Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.

Melanie is wonderful with our two dogs. She is friendly, patient with them as and treats them as if they were her own. We have used her twice and each time we have had updates during our time away.

Melanie has been caring for pets all of her life. She has the patience and dedication to make sure all pets are taken care of to the utmost care. She is a hard worker, pays attention to details, and her love for animals sets her apart.

Let me know if your pup is high energy so i can bring my running shoes! If any of your animals are aggressive, knowing this ahead of time will let me prep mentally for the visit.
