Animal lover at heart

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Melanie. I am 22 years old and a part-time student at Maryville University. I work full-time as a server at The Block at night. I have cared for numerous types of animals, I grew up with rabbits, cats, hamsters, and fish. I have had one dog named Sassy who was Beagle. She passed away at the old age of 12 and shortly after I meet the puppers that got me into helping people and their dogs. My neighbor adopted twin Beagle/Basset Hound mixes who I watched every other weekend while he was at work. I quickly loved being able to make a bond with dogs and help to ease your worry while gone. Every pupper I care for becomes my own, you will never have to worry about them in my care. My mom and family friends refer to me as the dog whisperer because every dog I meet loves me. It might just be because my nails are the ultimate back scratcher. I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 3-10pm. But I can see your pup before and after, I live alone In Maryland Heights so times don’t have an effect on me.

Super sweet and attentive to the kitties. Left amazingly witty updates that always made me laugh and feel reassured that they were in good hands.

Mel was great! We had to find someone last minute and she really stepped in to understand what we needed to watch our two cats, including a rather complicated medicine routine for one of them. Appreciated it!

I have a 2 kitty’s, Fry who is 2 years old and Murray who is 5 months. Fry is on Prozac to help with his behavioral issues towards unknown humans. Since starting, hes been much better and if it helps your pets as well, I will 100% be willing to give him or her anything they need.

Information Melanie W. would like to know about your pet

I will offer a meet and greet before the first booking begins. During this time, I would like to discuss any of your pet's likes, dislikes, allergies, medications, health issues or food restrictions. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or needs extra care! Also, let me know if your dog does not do well if others. I prefer small-medium-sized dogs as I am on the smaller size, but I do know how to handle bigger dogs. This is mainly for walks as I know some bigger dogs pull, I do not want to lose your pet so please keep that in mind.

A typical day

I enjoy playing fetch with your dog and giving them all the pets I can offer. They will get as much time outside as they would like. Toys are not needed as I can make anything fun for your pets.
