Melanie took care of Pancho as if he was her own! She sent me so many photos and videos also. Really grateful for her, it was a great experience.

Melanie was so great with my little one — she got walks, lots of attention, and came back smelling so good! Also, her pup Giovanni was the *perfect* playmate. My little Pip immediately warmed to him, and I got the sweetest videos of them playing and then sleeping next to each other 🥹 Highly recommend Melanie, and so appreciate her taking Pip so last minute!

Great, reliable, host! I had someone cancel a day before my pet’s stay was supposed to begin, Melanie had the availability and was able to accommodate for my baby with short notice. While I was away for a few days, I was updated with photos and videos and loved to see my baby enjoying herself. I had a wonderful experience, and I would definitely use her services again in the future! Highly recommend!

Melanie is the best pet parent/caregiver in the world! She takes care of my pet Gio who is at times a handful with grace and ease, she is very patient and nurturing. Someone who has had pets her whole life and treats them with the upmost respect and care will always have your animals needs as her top priority.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged! Depending on their energy and personality, I’ll take them on long walks, play fetch, explore local parks, or just enjoy some cuddle time. I also like using treat puzzles and games to keep their minds sharp and tails wagging
