Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and routines to keep everything consistent.

Information Melanie P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s feeding schedule, medical needs, routines, and personality quirks — like favorite toys or things that make them nervous. I want to make sure your pet feels completely safe and cared for while you’re away.

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.

Love and Care 🐾

Pet care experience

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. 💕

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.

Excellent experience. Melanie was always very responsive and accommodating, and our dogs clearly had a great time in the large yard. Will repeat!
