Flexible sitter to love all animals

Pet care experience

I have always been surrounded by animals. I grew up with 3 cats, a German Shepherd, and a Jack Russell Terrier so I am comfortable around dogs as well as cats and small dogs as well as large dogs. I live in a home in the Birmingham/Homewood area that I share with three roommates and our 2 dogs (5 months and 2years) who are both used to having other pups over to play or stay. My cat was hit by a car once and had to have surgery that restricted her to a crate and limited activity for 8 weeks, so I am comfortable caring for injured and healing pets and giving medicine. I am very active, always at the gym and training, so I love getting outside and going on long walks. I also love taking pictures, so if you hire me you’ll definitely get lots of pictures!

I’m so glad I reached out to Melanie on here. She did a great job checking in on my cat while I was gone for a couple days. My cat, Ziggy, is special needs and so has to have medication twice a day. Melanie took care of her needs and sent pictures without me needing to ask. By the end Ziggy was letting her give her chin scritches, a big honor. I recommend Melanie and will keep her in mind for future trips out of town.

Just what I was looking for. Even cleaned up after my pup's accident during a short drop-in!

Melanie was great! She came over for a meet and greet, and Izzi loved her as soon as they met. She communicated well, showed up at the agreed upon time, and sent pictures of Izzi girl from their walks. Definitely would recommend!

Information Melanie T. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if a dog is socialized around other dogs. I have no breed preferences!

A typical day

We would walk around the neighborhood or go to Red Mountain State Park nearby. A dog that stays with me will get lots of play time with me, my roommates, and our two active puppies who love to play. They would get to swim in our puppy pool or run fast in the fenced back yard.
