Compassionate, patient animal-lover

Pet care experience

I am currently a dog mom for an adorable lab/pitbull mix as well as cat mom for a Russian blue. I have had dogs and cats all throughout growing up. I have always been an animal lover, showing my love and compassion towards animals at a young age. I have experience dog sitting and walking for friends and family and greatly enjoy spending time with different dogs. I am experienced with training young animals as well! I'm also a special education teacher with a focus on behavior reinforcement, which is something I have come to realize is not far off from training pets! I truly understand how pets are part of the family and promise to treat your pet as if he/she is my own!

This is delayed, but wanted to say Melanie was wonderful! Reliable and always on time. She walked my pup for an entire week and I felt wonderful knowing he was great hands. Would use her again!

We were out of town and our pet sitter needed an extra hand through the day. So grateful to have someone we can trust with our pup. Love getting photos and updates. Melanie was also great touching base with us. Much appreciated and we’ll use her again!!
