Cat owner who loves to snuggle.
Pet care experience
I have had cats my entire life. All of my cats have been adopted through rescues. I adore my family and friends pets and have two cats of my own. I dog and house sit for my friends and family when they travel and take their dogs for walks when staying with them. My mom worked at an animal hospital for 20 years, so I grew up loving animals and never stopped! I work from home during the day and go to work for a maximum of 4 hours in the evenings. I have a very flexible schedule. My cats have lots of toys, treats, scratching pads and clean litter boxes. I enjoy playing with them, having them snuggle with me and talk to them frequently. I talk to all animals! When taking care of someone else's animals I spend a lot of time with them playing, scratching, cuddling, and doing whatever else their pets like. I always make sure they have fresh water and food; cats always have clean litter boxes. I also love to show the pet owners the love their pets are getting by sharing pictures and videos. Often times I will work from the home of the pet so I can spend more time with them.

Melanie took care of Chip on SUCH short notice when my sitter backed out day-of. She’s so sweet and Chip was well taken care of. Thank you!!
Melanie is SO wonderful. She has been easy to contact, Norah loves her, and I feel comfortable with her in our home. Melanie really goes the extra mile to make sure Norah gets her exercise- even in the -20 weather! We will keep using Melanie as long as we can:)
Melanie is great! Im so happy we found such a nice person to take our Daisy on weekly walks!
I would highly recommend Melanie for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Melanie and I have known each other for years. From the beginning, I have known Melanie as an animal lover. She would be a fabulous sitter for both dogs and cats as she is extremely responsible, punctual, and attentive. She has two cats herself and we frequently talk about our pets together. I know she has the dedication and love for animals that would make her a great pet sitter. If I ever needed someone to take care of my pets, she would be the first person I call. For anyone looking for pet sitter as well as the peace of mind that your animals are well cared for, Melanie is the best person for the job!

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet
I don't have a breed preference! I would like to know if there are any triggers for your pet which may cause them to get upset or scared, as well as things they like. If your pet can take medication mixed into food, I don't mind giving medication that way. I do not have experience with any other administration of meds. Do they have any favorite places to go? Places to avoid? What parts of the house are off limits to your pet? Do your dogs do well with play dates/dog park?
A typical day
Greetings, play time, go for a walk ( I like to walk in the woods, or the beach). More play time. Play time for both dogs and cats! I like to bring random materials that I think the animals might enjoy. Tissue paper is always fun; they will be monitored closely to make sure they don't eat anything they shouldn't. I also like to blow bubbles for a fun activity.
