About Me'lia J.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pets will never be left unsupervised in my care. Only pets from one household will be walked at a time. When doing drop in visits I pay close attention to the instructions given by the pet owner, and will ensure the pet is comfortable before departing. I will provide pets access to water at all times, and pay close attention for any signs of discomfort. I always keep a first aid kit handy. I do not offer treats or foods that are approved of by the owner first. If I notice anything concerning I will notify the pet owner. I'll also provide cute update photos for the owners reassurance.

Information Me'lia J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet - has any health concerns, allergies, or dietary restrictions - has or has not been vaccinated - has a temperament I should be aware of - has any triggers that may be encountered on walks - is okay with being handled - has any injuries to be aware of
A typical day
On walks dogs can enjoy a nice leisurely stroll (or run) through a trail or near by park. At the dog park we can play a game of fetch or tug of war. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical, so they may learn a new trick or two. For cats, I'll have plenty of toys to get them doing leaps and bounds.

Your pet is my top PAW-ority!
Pet care experience
I've owned pets my whole life. I currently own two pets: a Coton de Tulear named Kitty and a sweet German Shepherd named Medusa. I volunteer at animal shelters, and work as a veterinarian assistant. I have experience with cats and dogs ranging from newborns to seniors. While I have my own pets, rest assured your baby will have my undivided attention while in my care.
Cat care experience
Me'lia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Me’Lia was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our Sandy! Me’lia was punctual very patient with handling Sandy. Will definitely rebook in the future!
Me’lia did a great job, can’t wait to call her again!
Me'lia was great with Ares. Her overall communication and service was spot on. I will rebook with her in the future.
Me'lia is a great caretaker for pets. I've known her for 10 years, and have been around when she got her own pets. She's always had a passion for caring for companion animals, and has been a great aid to me and my family members with training and raising our pets. She got her education in animal science and is now preparing for veterinarian school. I highly recommend her as a someone that will provide compassionate, fun, patient care to anyone fur baby.
