I live in South End so it’s convenient for me to drop in and spend quality time with your pets! I take daily walks for steps, sun, and fresh air. I'd love to bring your dog along to keep them active!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of my family's Rottweilers since I was young and have a deep love for all animals! I recently adopted a pitbull mix tripod named Sweet Potato :) I enjoy looking after other people's pets and have experience volunteering at animal shelters. I just moved back to Charlotte after a year in St Pete, FL, where I regularly watched cats on Rover!

Melanie is so friendly and easy to work with. She gave lots of love to our cat Winnie and gave her medicine, cleaned the litter box, and refilled water. Would definitely book with her again!

Melanie took great care of my two cats for five days. There were no issues whatsoever and I would recommend Melanie to anyone!
