Pet care experience

Wag-Worthy Care

I have been dog sitting the past 4 years. Ever since I moved to Bellingham leaving my golden retriever that I grew up with at home with my parents I have loved the opportunity to care for dogs that remind me how special they are as companions. I have experience with potty training and completely understand that accidents can happen for both young and old dogs. Whatever stage of life your dog is at I will treat them with the same love and care as I would my own.

Safety, trust & environment

My top priority is to make sure your pets feel safe and stress free while you are away. I will always do as much as I can to maintain the same habits as they have with the owner even if that means I am sharing a bed with a massive husky! Communication is so important for me so I always offer picture updates throughout the week so that you know your pets are in good hands.

Melia did a great job taking care of my dogs and garden. She provided regular updates, asked good questions, was responsive, kept the house clean, and my dogs were very happy.

We highly recommend Melia for her reliability and excellent care! She always does great with our 3 cats and dog who all have very different personalities. I’m an anxious pet parent but I didn’t have to worry at all during the week we were gone. Thanks Melia.

Melia was so great with our dog and three cats while housesitting! Excellent communication and our pets were all calm and happy when we returned which was the biggest sign that she was attentive to everyone’s needs. We will feel comfortable leaving Melia with our pets and home again this summer!

I believe Melia has been Moose’s favorite sitter of all time, I don’t even think he missed me. She is very attentive to all the small nuances and went above and beyond to me you feel comfortable taking a trip away from my lil man. could not recommend enough…seriously, you’re lucky if she is free

Melia always prioritizes creating a safe and fun environment for pets. She is a go getter who loves to get involved with pets and goes the extra mile to make them happy. I highly recommend her because she is a responsible, positive helper who would be a great asset to anyone looking for a pet caregiver.

It is helpful to know how much exercise your dog will need, and any details about their diet. It is also helpful to know how often they use the restroom and what their typical day looks like in terms of of wake up times and times they are more high energy.
