Highlights
Pet care experience
Love and Care 🐾
Hi there! I’ve been caring for pets for several years and absolutely love working with both dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities. I completed a Veterinary Assistant program in school, where I learned hands-on animal care, proper handling, and basic health observation — so your pet will always be in safe, capable, and loving hands. I have experience with: • Administering basic medications and following feeding routines • Walking energetic pups and comforting shy or senior pets • Providing extra love and attention to pets with anxiety or special needs Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. 💕

We had a wonderful experience! This was Scooby’s first time staying with her, and she took such great care of him. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️ We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!
Melanie took great care of my Gigi. She sent videos to keep me informed on Gigi’s wellbeing. I will rebook with Melanie.
I am so grateful to have found a fantastic dog sitter for Miki and Pinky. They loved every minute of their 44 day stay with Mel. Best South Florida dog sitter. Period. Thank you.
Melanie is the best! She took amazing care of our big guy. She provided daily updates and was great about responding when we reached out. We would not hesitate to rebook her for future boarding needs. Thank you Melanie! We appreciate you!
We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog, Sienna! She took such great care of her and kept us updated with videos throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also very quick to respond whenever we reached out. It was clear Sienna was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Melanie was great and kept me updated on Clifford’s status throughout my trip, sending me vids of him playing in an expansive yard.

Schedule
I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether you need daily walks, check-ins, or weekend sitting, I make sure each pet gets the time, play, and affection they deserve.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and routines to keep everything consistent. I always make sure pets are supervised, hydrated, and have a clean, cozy environment — whether that’s in my home or yours. Because of my veterinary assistant training, I know how to recognize early signs of stress or discomfort and handle pets gently and confidently in any situation.

A typical day
A day with me usually includes morning walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of positive attention! We might go for a stroll around the neighborhood, enjoy some fetch time, or just relax together depending on your pet’s personality and energy level. I focus on keeping their routine familiar and their day filled with love and fun.
