About Melanie S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.
Information Melanie S. would like to know about your pet
I love getting long, detailed notes that I can follow with any quirks, or special things I need to know. This is everything from food preferences to where they like to sleep.
A typical day
I love getting out for walks, working on basic commands like “sit” and “stay” with your dog, or playing fetch. Whatever I can do to make sure your pet is using their brain and being enriched!

I never met a dog I didn’t love!
Pet care experience
I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further!
Reviews
Very sweet and patience hoping for more future work.
Melanie was great! Would definitely book her again.
Melanie took great care of Finn. She took the time to walk him as agreed and provided an update and picture.
My dog is a family member and outside of family there is only one other person I trust and that's Melanie. He is a handful and very rigid in his day to day and Melanie seems to have no problem. We get pictures and updates that help me keep my mind off worrying and focus on the vacation or work at hand. This will be a decision you do not regret.
