Pet care experience

Your pet is my top PAW-ority!

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.

Pets

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.

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.
