Melanie was wonderful with our cat! Our cat automatically went right up to her, which is always a great sign. She followed all of our instructions carefully, was very accommodating, and communicated well throughout the process. Her rates were also very reasonable, and she was kind, reliable, and easy to work with. We felt comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

Leaving Gamma and Delta for a long period of time was incredibly stressful for us, but Melanie completely exceeded our expectations! She came in twice a day for food, to spend quality time with them and sent a lot of daily photos. I was able to enjoy my entire trip with zero worries since we had a pretty good communication with her. Gamma and Delta had a blast, non stop cuddles and a lot of love, also a lot of games and treats, they will miss her! Melanie also helped us with some medication and did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, she left the house spotless, we highly recommend her and will definitely ask for her help in all our future trips!

Dog Walking • May 23, 2026

Melanie was so sweet with Raf and so genuinely excited to see him and take him on walks. She took amazing care of him and was very communicative about setting up walk times that worked every day with both our changing schedules. Raf is a rescue dog so he can be skittish and he felt completely safe with Melanie and always looked forward to his walks with her. If we need walks in this area again we will definitely rebook with Melanie.
