I wake at sunrise every morning at the request of all the fur babies. I start day with a 2 mile walk for the dog and end day the same way. The cats aren’t that demanding unless we’re talking food. Then they have a lot to say.

Safety, trust & environment

I know all pets have unique personalities and can adjust to what their little souls need. Calm & quiet or long walks and burst of energy.

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if they need a good walk until they are ready for a nap or if they are shy and need me to follow their lead. I love knowing how to break the ice.

A typical day

I love to get to know your pet. Do they need a good brushing, stimulation playing with toys or a long walk to tire them out. Maybe they just need a calm & consistent energy to watch them eat until they are ready to engage. Everyone needs a bff and my time with them is their time.

Pet care experience

I currently have a rescue dog from Taiwan who is finicky & gets scared easy and 2 cats. One skittish and one super friendly. I know they all get lonely when alone too long.

Melanie is fantastic! She was great with our cats. She was able to get a our very shy and distrusting cat to play with her and was patient and understanding with our snippy cat. She was reliable and kind and will certainly be our go-to!

Melanie is a fantastic cat sitter! Communicative, empathetic, responsible, fun, and prompt. I highly recommend her. She even stepped in and helped out when we had to delay our return home. She is the best.
