Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Mel, and I am a pet lover located in Uptown with 5 years of experience caring for cats and small/medium sized dogs. I grew up around dogs and have been entrusted by neighbors, friends, and family members alike to care for their pups over the years, where I've learned how to care for dogs with a variety of energy levels and at different stages of training and meet them where they're at. I am also a proud cat parent and adore caring for cats! I am committed to working with you to learn your pet's needs, preferences, schedules, so that you can have total peace of mind. My priority is giving your pet time to connect to what makes them happy, whether that be a long walk, a good belly rub, a perfectly on time meal, or an exciting play session. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! Cat care available in: Uptown, Sheridan Park, Buena Park, Ravenswood, Andersonville, Dog Walks and Drop-In Visits Available In: Uptown, Sheridan Park, Buena Park, Ravenswood, Andersonville, Lincoln Square, North Center.

Melaura looks after my cat Dude on a weekly basis! She always follows the food directions, scoops the litter, and gives him lots of play time. I trust her completely and recommend her to any cat or dog owners looking for pet services in Chicago!

Melaura took amazing care of my 5 year old Labradoodle, Gus. Before I left, she took the time to ask thoughtful questions and really get to know his personality, routine, and needs, which gave me a lot of confidence. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with messages and made sure I knew he was doing well. It was clear that Gus was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely trust Melaura to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
