Pet care experience

My name is Melanie and I am currently a college student and I would love to care of your pets. Growing up we had so many pets ranging from dogs to a bearded dragon (that we still have), so I would say I'm pretty good with pets and if there's a pet I never had before, I would be glad to learn how to care for them properly. I have some pets of my own but I would make sure that they will stay out the way when I bring yours home by having them stay in another room. When I'm house sitting I'll be glad to pick up after myself and keep things neat and tidy. I also can't wait to take your dog on adventures when walking.

Melanie truly went above and beyond with a last-minute housesitting request, and then came through again with an extra drop-in visit when my flight home was delayed. Total lifesaver!! She took great care of my pets, including long walks with my dog and giving them lots of love and attention. I could tell they were happy and well cared for while I was away. Melanie is reliable, trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and her rates are extremely reasonable for the level of care she provides. I’m so grateful for all her help!

Melanie was communicative and provided photos and updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommended for quality pet care!

Melanie does a great job caring for our kitties. And when needed, watering my potted plants. At least 2 of 3 kitties feel comfortable around her.

Melanie was amazing with my kitty. Our kitty was comfortable around her, and Melanie took time to play with him with his favorite toys. She is responsive and lets us know updates on the visits daily. And takes plenty of pics. Definitely recommend!
