Pet care experience

Your pet’s bestie

Hello Rover! My name is Mel, I am fluent in Spanish and English. I have been in the pet industry for over 10 years. I was a groomer for dogs and cats for over 5 years and loved every second of it. I also worked for a kennel and a pet day care center and was in charge of giving walks, food, love and cuddles of over 10 pups at a time. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets there as well like sugar gliders, pigs, reptiles and rodents.

Melanie was amazing! She is my go to every time I go out of town. One of my dogs is blind and partially deaf because he is old and I only trust Melanie with him. She takes care of him so good. My other two dogs adore her. She is highly recommended. Thank you Melanie for all that you do. Her times are always flexible and she always works with me.
