Auntie Mel / The Platinum Paw
Pet care experience
*Note* At the first of the year, I will solely be focused on The Platinum Paw. I began with Rover years ago when I was a single mom doing what it took to provide for my boys. Years later, I continue to provide platinum level care because I love what it brings to you as owners as well as myself. I have had animals most of my life, volunteered as an adoption counselor and fostered for a local pet rescue. I have also trained dogs of my own. I love loving on animals and giving them the attention they need. Not only do I get to love on your fur babies, but this fills my heart. I simply do this because I want to (yes it’s income generating, but that allows me to go above and beyond my career to have adventures with my boys). I know that your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as your human ones. When given the opportunity, I will take care of them as my own. They will get plenty of attention and the snuggles they desire. Do you have other household pets? Reptiles? Guinea pigs? Hamsters? I will gladly take care of all of them too! Contact me and we’ll work something out!

Reviews


Melanie is amazing! She's very reliable and is always giving me updates and the pics she sends are great. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Melanie B. helped me with my kitty when I went away recently for a trip. She dropped in to visit him and did a fabulous job. My kitty is very shy but Melanie was so patient and caring with him. He hardly ever warms up to anyone but he certainly warmed up to Melanie and I am so thankful for her services. She was also so timely and considerate to me and my family throughout the whole process of getting set up and also during the visits. I would highly recommend her!



Melanie is my goto pet sitter and has been since I moved to the area. She's punctual and has great communication! She's great at giving my cat his medication and the other cats are comfortable with them to cuddle. Highly recommend!



Melanie has great communication! My cats are very comfortable with Melanie! Melanie is my go-to pet sitter for when I go on vacation. She administers the medication for my cat so I can trust my cat gets his meds. Highly recommend! She is punctual and communicative!
About Melanie B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I strive for a seamless transition while you are away. My goal is to interact with them the same as if you were there to reduce any anxiety. The more information you provide, the better experience it is for all of us!
Information Melanie B. would like to know about your pet
There is no such thing as too much information regarding your babies. Feel free to share anything that makes them happy, any quirks, even anything that has triggered them in the past. I am very comfortable with all sizes and breeds, but every baby is different and I want to meet them at their level.
A typical day
While at your home, I will make sure they are fully attended to and fed. We tend to spend lots of time getting love, chasing toys and/or just simply sitting by a food bowl to help them eat.

Availability
I have a flexible yet busy schedule, therefore you can expect me to be there as promised. I love animals, but I also love time back. Therefore, I have a very flexible cancellation policy.
