Pet care experience

Millennial pet mom here to help!

I have been actively taking care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. My mother, being a veterinarian technician, meant that I got to volunteer in her animal hospital growing up. I have also spent time volunteering at a cat shelter for rescues, caring for their needs and helping facilitate their adoptions. The care I have been able to give ranges from puppies and kittens to senior pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure that pets are fed on their regular schedule, that there is always water available, that if it is a cat, the litter box remains cleaned, and for the pups that they are walked or let out on their regularly scheduled basis. I do have a fenced in backyard and a sunroom as well for those sunbathers in your life!

Fabulous! Do you really need to read anything else? Everything worked, there were no issues, and I didn’t worry about anything.

Melanie did a great job caring for my pups super last minute while I had to run an errand and we had someone at our house working on a project. Thank you Melanie!
