Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Melanieand I am a second year medical student living in Valhalla, NY. I have cared for pets almost my entire life. My pet care experience includes going for long walks, feeding, basic training (sit, stay, down, come), daily brushings, and transpiration to vet/grooming appointments. During my senior year of college, I fostered a puppy for two weeks. Although challenging, the experience was incredibly rewarding. I currently do not have any pets of my own; however, my parents have two dogs and I take care of them whenever I am home. My schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I tend to have mandatory sessions in the afternoons, but nothing longer than 3 hours at a time. At this time, I am able to offer house-sitting services. I am able to walk and feed your dogs throughout the day. I am available for overnight stays as well as long as there is wifi and a place for me to study. I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. I am upbeat, friendly, and extremely trustworthy. I am a huge animal lover and would treat your pets as my own. I hope you will consider me as caretaker for your fur-baby! I look forward to meeting you and your dogs. Thank you!
Reviews
Melanie did a fantastic job house sitting with our older dog, Katie. She was very responsive, took great care of Katie (including oral medication) and sent us daily updates with pictures. She asked all the right questions about Katie's care and routine and was really attentive to important details about walks, cuddles and feeding routines. Melanie stayed at our place for 3 nights and left the house in perfect shape. We came home to a happy and well-cared for pup! We will definitely book with her again next time we travel.
Melanie has been a very close friend of mine for a decade. She has always been someone who is mature beyond her years. Melanie has an extremely strong work ethic and values any job she holds. She is currently a medical student and New York Medical College. That alone, is a strong representation of her personality; someone who works hard, remains calm under pressure, and is responsible. Melanie also is a huge animal lover. She has always had a dog of her own her entire life. She cares for her dogs as she does for human patients. I am confident that Melanie is the perfect candidate for the job!
Melanie took such great care of my little puppy Reagan (8 months old)! I was nervous about leaving him home alone for an extended period of time since puppies that age need a lot of attention, but Melanie was able to give him everything that he needed. When I returned home Melanie had fed and taken him for a walk and was trying to teach him how to roll over. She is a natural when it comes to working and watching dogs!
Mel is the best pet sitter!! She has taken care of my dogs a number of times and each time takes care of them like they are her own. She is trustworthy and very caring. 11/10 would recommend her!!

Information Melanie W. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your dog is up-to-date on his/her immunizations, if your dog has any history of biting or attacks, if your dog likes other animals, and if your dog is house broken. I do not have any breed preferences.
A typical day
As long as it is okay with you, I will take your dog to local parks or on long walks throughout your neighborhood. I love to play fetch with my dogs or run around in our backyard. Dogs are meant to be outside and have fun!
