Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Melanie. I have loved animals since the day I was born. They have always been a special part of my life and members of my family. I worked for a vet as a teenager walking dogs, caring for cats, assisting the vets, holding animals during procedures, prepping for surgeries and during emergencies, medicating, loving, and snuggling. I have been an advocate of animals my whole life and am also a rescue/ rehabilitator. I have cats, dogs, fish, frogs, and birds currently that are various ages and temperaments. I've never met an animal that didnt take to me. I get great fullfillment out of caring for animals. I believe they are one of Gods most precious gifts to us. I started pet sitting when I was 10 years old for neighbors. I had quite a business as a kid. I was in high demand and very responsible. Having fur babies of my own, I know how important it is to be able to feel safe and comfortable with who is caring for them in your absence. I will do whatever I can to ensure your comfort and confidence in my abilities to take the best care of them for you!
Reviews
She was really calm and my cat is very shy, But she got him to come out every time she visited. She kept everything really neat and clean. Did a great job!
Melanie was a sweetheart and took excellent care of our pup.
Oh my gosh, I am soooo beyond thankful for Melanie! It's a breath of fresh air to not only trust someone to go into your home but also with your fur babies. She administers meds to my hyperthyroidism old lady kitty (even when kitty may be grouchy). She makes sure love & attention are given! Sends lots of photos to give verification and confidence in her work. I appreciate you Mel!! Thank you so much!!
No problems. Came home to a happy cat

I care for your fur babies just as I would my own. I follow whatever routine your pet is accustomed to to minimize stress for them. I do not provide care in my home.
Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet
I love any animal! I would just need to know if your animal has any medical conditions I need to watch for or medications that need to be given and what their typical schedule is to keep them as close as what they are used to.
A typical day
I am able to effectively administer medications to your animals, even difficult ones. I am happy to take in mail for you or water plants, etc. I will follow any regimens that your animals are used to such as treats, toys, whatever makes them comfortable and happy and most importantly I will treat your fur babies like my own and love and nurture them just as you would.
