Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, calm, and animal-loving
I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, walks, feeding, medication reminders, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ll care for them with kindness and consistency. I’m especially mindful of pets who are shy, anxious, older, or simply need a little more patience and one-on-one attention.

Ratings and reviews
Melanie was a great dog sitter and took great care of my two rascals. She was kind to them and played with them to get their energy out. Nice work Melanie!
I have seen Melanie take care of her own dogs so lovingly and responsibly. She always made sure they were well fed with real organic foods, kept them clean, cuddled with them, played with them, and loved them dearly. I have also seen her take care of other dogs, and I have seen how the dogs love her and follow her commands. She is dedicated and responsible for the pets she has been trusted with. I definitely recommend Melanie as a pet caregiver
melanie has a good way of connecting with dogs. I have an australian shepard that really hates everyone. he’s always so on guard and growls at everyone. the first time she came over he loved her and didn’t growl or bark at her once. which is very rare he growls at everyone.

Schedule
My schedule is very open flexible, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day! I can plan my routine around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and any special care instructions. I take pet-sitting commitments seriously and make sure each pet receives plenty of companionship, care, and one-on-one attention while their owner is away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain their normal routine, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can settle in at their own pace. I keep a close eye on their safety, follow their usual feeding and medication schedule, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, rest, and affection. I never force interaction and am especially patient with pets who are shy, anxious, or adjusting to a new environment. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
A typical day
A typical day will be shaped around your pet’s normal routine and personality. For dogs, that may include walks, playtime, sniffing around outside, cuddle breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For cats, I’ll make time for interactive play, gentle companionship, window watching, and quiet space when they want it. I also make sure pets have time to rest, feel comfortable, and enjoy a calm environment without being overstimulated.
