Loving, Careful, and Playful!
Pet care experience
I have been a life-long animal owner and lover. I got my first pet (a cat) at the age of 8, and have never been without at least one pet in the house ever since. My family currently has a cat and a dog, and I am a regular house and dog sitter for various friends and family. I volunteered as a teenager for both the SPCA and an equestrian association, I had my high school co-op at a veterinary office, and I worked for a time at a dog and cat boarding kennel. I have experience caring for everything from fish tanks to elderly and severely disabled dogs to young and rambunctious Labradors. I love them all equally and they seem to love me back! I can provide the level of energy your pet needs - whether that is an energetic romp around the yard, a leisurely stroll, or just some quiet company in the house. I am extremely careful and watchful, and will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your pet.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always go out of my way to make sure an animal’s environment is safe for them - including refilling water, picking up and putting out of the way anything harmful, and double checking the doors. Please note that my prices include GST!
Information Melanie S. would like to know about your pet
How is your dog with other dogs and children on walks? Allergies and/or medications? Ongoing medical issues that I should keep an eye out for symptoms for? Anything that would seem mundane that may upset your dog?
A typical day
I have a member's pass for the Hamilton Conservation Authority conservation areas, so if you're okay with your dog getting in touch with their wild side and going on hikes, I can certainly bring them!
