Highlights
Pet care experience
Trustworthy petsitter, cats & dogs!
Hi there! I’m Melanie, a Licensed Vocational nurse from California. When I’m not caring for people, I love to look after animals. I have over twenty years experience as a pet owner and sitter. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and give love to their cats and dogs over the years.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I currently don’t own any pets but will treat yours like my own! I have over ten years experience as an acute care nurse which adds to my ability to safely and lovingly care for your pet. Service abilities include: dog walking, dog & cat exercise/play, care of sick or senior pets, administering medication, emptying litter boxes, and other services based on my clients needs.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for taking such great care of Bertha! We loved all of the daily updates.

Melanie is awesome!!! She is my number one contact in Chicago that I will go for sitting Pudding :)

Melanie is one of our go to sitters! With our new kitten she was exceptionally patient with helping him overcome his shyness and making sure him and our resident cat were both safe, happy, well fed, and got so much attention while we were out of town. We will always use Melanie whenever she is available!

Having Melanie makes a vacation really a vacation because she takes such good care of our dog!

Thanks as always for taking such great care of Linus! I always appreciate the little Polaroids and thank you for taking great care of my home!

Melanie did a wonderful job watching Emmy during the booking period that she stayed with her. Emmy is a senior dog and requires medication and some special treatment, and Melanie did great and handling all those specific instructions and making sure I felt secure leaving Emmy in responsible hands.
