Pet care experience

As a life-long pet lover, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits ever since I was a teenager. I love playing with dogs, taking long walks and go for a quick jog (yes, I can train your pooch on how to run with you on a leash).

Melida cared for my fur babies for a week while I was out of town and gave them excellent care and affection. She's the only sitter I trust with my pets and my home.

Melida was so kind and wonderful. She did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and videos. My pup was a bit stressed resulting in an upset stomach and Melida went out of her way to cook her some chicken and rice to ease her belly. I’m so grateful for her. I will definitely book with her again!
