Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a pre-veterinary student at Montclair State University, and I can't remember a time when animals weren't a part of my life. For the past six years my best friend has been my border collie, April. If you know the breed, you know they're incredibly smart and always keeping you on your toes. She is family to me so that bond made me want to share that same level of care with other pets. I'm always happy to do a meet-and-greet. It gives us both a chance to get to know each other and lets you see how I interact with your pet before making a decision. I take time to learn each of their personalities and specific needs, and I build my sitting entirely around that. [𝗜'𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀]
Reviews
We had a house sitting with Melanie for our 8 year old Siberian Husky, she is absolutely amazing. Very thorough with her care and services. We will definitely keep working with her as our favorite caregiver for our dog.
I’ve been Melanie’s neighbor since she was a child, so I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow into the wonderful young woman she is today. Even back then, she had a gentle heart and a natural connection with animals. Mel spent many summers with my Schnauzers. They weren’t her pets, but you never would’ve known that by the way she cared for them. She treated them with the same love, attention, and excitement as if they belonged to her. After losing them both last year, I find comfort knowing they spent so many happy years with someone who cherished them. It came as no surprise when Melanie decided to pursue veterinary medicine. Some careers are chosen, others seem to choose the person. I can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with a beloved pet.
