Here to care! Care for all pets

Pet care experience

We'll love your pets and they'll know it! Hi, I’m Melanie! With over 12 years of experience caring for pets at home and as a shelter volunteer, I have spent my life caring for animals of all personalities—from playful pups to shy or sassy cats who need a little extra patience. I have a special focus on cat care, including handling challenging behaviors and making even the most hesitant kitties feel comfortable. I’m also skilled at administering medications, so you can trust that your pet’s health is in good hands. Beyond cats, I absolutely love spending time with dogs, big or small!—whether it’s a good walk, some playtime, or just hanging out together. I know how important it is to keep them active, engaged, and feeling loved. I have partnered with my mom - Veronica who taught me the foundations of caring for the little fur babies since I was young. She is happy to give your pets all the love and outstanding level of care while you're away.

Once again, Melanie and Veronica saved the day when my schedule got complicated. They are efficient, flexible, highly reliable, and absolute pleasures to work with. Leaving my two senior cats is stress-free because I know they are in the best possible hands. I cannot recommend them enough!

I’ve been using Melanie’s services for the past few times we’ve been traveling out of town, the longest being 10 days out of town! She is so attentive and responsive and I trust my baby Nuni with her. Having her has been a lifesaver and I recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! <3333
