Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I love to walk dogs, play with them, feed them, can give them medications, clean up after them, can do some grooming. I also love cats, and will play with them, give them plenty of cuddles, clean litter boxes, etc.

What a great lady! I had a family emergency and needed someone the next day for my lab Bailey! I found Melanie and told her my issue. She was very quick to respond and help me out! She was on time and walked Bailey for me while I had to work. She did a great job! I highly recommend her for your pet needs. Thank you Melanie!

Melanie was fantastic to work with!! She took such great care of my elderly dog and very respectful of my home. She communicated greatly and was very flexible! Will definitely be booking her again!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Melanie! She did an absolutely outstanding job taking care of my sweet dog, Penny. From the moment they met, I could tell Penny felt comfortable and loved—which gave me so much peace of mind. Melanie was attentive, kind, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. She went above and beyond to make sure Penny was happy, well-exercised, and cared for like family. I came home to a very content pup and couldn’t be more grateful. I would trust Melanie with Penny again in a heartbeat!

Melanie is truly so caring, reliable and genuine. She will treat your pets like they are her own children. Melanie became a mothers helper at age 13 to my son Zachary and a pet sitter for my dog Zoe. Melanie continued to babysit for my growing family of 3 children all 2 years apart as well as my fur family. There is nothing that puts you more at ease than knowing you can rely on someone to come into your home that can care for your children and pets and love them like their own. Very blessed to have entrusted Melanie with my children and my pets for the last 13 years.

Melanie provided excellent care for our sweet elderly dog while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure she was well taken care of! Five stars!

I would definitely want to know about any food allergies/sensitivities that your pet has, as well as any other medical issues, or behavioral issues. Whether or not they are friendly with other dogs, cats, people, and kids.
