I want to love your fur babies too
Pet care experience
I have had a cat and dog of my own for 20 years and have been walking neighborhood dogs as well as pet sitting for about that long as well. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and would love to give your fur babies as much love and attention they may need or want while you are working or out of town! I am a photographer so I love documenting my time with them so you can keep updated on how they are doing while you are away.
Reviews
Melanie did not follow instructions after a few gentle reminders. It was not until we pointed out the ring camera in the backyard that her behavior changed. She was booked for overnight, but only spent a few hours with the dogs during the day. The dogs were left in the crates for over 8 hours unattended. Our ring cameras seemed to show that Melanie left our dogs unattended overnight for around 13/14 hours. We will not be booking overnights with Melanie again.
Melanie was great! Posted photos and updates everyday and our cat was happy and healthy when we got home.
Melanie is an absolute expert. I could not recommend her more highly. I've never had my dogs sat before and they have anxiety issues and she handled them with wonderful care and grace. Thank you Melanie, for your wonderful help.
Melanie is amazing! She’s a great communicator and easy to work with. She took such great care of my kitty while in Europe and sent me updates all the time! Definitely will be using her for future travel. 10/10 recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard with plenty of grass, a small pool in the summer, and covered back porch which allows freedom for my two pups to fun around in the fresh air as much as they like! My cat is pretty typical - she runs the show! She has full run of the house but loves taking advantage of my upstairs office because that's where all of her food, water, litter box, and hammock are. You can generally find all three of them rotating their time laying up in my front window keeping an eye on the neighborhood!
Information Melanie S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any behavioral challenges and your pup’s likes & dislikes. If they are allowed, I always like to leave them with a small treat to reward a good walk!
A typical day
I love to stimulate dog’s natural mental and physical curiosities. I love being able to play their favorite games like fetch, frisbee, swimming, tug, etc! If there is a neighborhood dog park we can access, I’d love to take them.
