About Melina F.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I follow a personal "Leave No Trace" policy. You can trust that I will treat your property and pet with the utmost care, dignity, and respect. Your peace of mind is my priority, and I want you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a clean home.
Information Melina F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your animal has any special needs, dietary restrictions, or behaviours that you think would be helpful knowing ahead of time so I can accommodate. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon!
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch is all about fun and quality time! For cats, I engage in interactive play sessions with toys that mimic prey, helping them satisfy their natural hunting instincts. I also provide plenty of affection and cuddles, as every cat has its own preferred way of bonding. For dogs, we'll embark on walks through your neighborhood or nearby parks. Exercise is crucial for their physical and mental well-being, and I ensure they get the exercise they need. I'll also reinforce any training or behavioral routines you have in place. For caged animals like guinea pigs, birds, and rabbits, I'll make sure their living space is clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage with them in a way that suits their social needs, whether that's gentle petting or simply talking to them! Ultimately, my goal is to make your pet's time away from you as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can rest assured that your furry or feathered friend is in loving and capable hands!

Pet care experience
*PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I AM NO LONGER PROVIDING PET SITTING SERVICES. If you have any questions or would like sitter recommendations, please don’t hesitate to reach out!* Welcome to my profile! I am an active, nature-loving pet sitter, specializing in cat care, small dogs, and caged animals. I have owned a combination of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and birds in my lifetime, each with varying behavioural and medical needs. I have been fostering cats with the Kingston Humane Society since 2021, which has allowed me to gain experience in oral medication administration, as well as understanding that each pet is different in their personality traits, needs, and communication styles. I pride myself on my dedication to providing the best care possible. I take the time to get to know your pet on a personal level, tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it's a rambunctious kitten or a shy senior cat, I adapt to their unique personalities!
Reviews




We have been working with Melina for over a year now with 9 variable length drop-in visits from one night to 2.5 weeks. She is fantastic and our four cats love her. Even our most timid warms up to her kindness. We have being planning our trips around Melina’s schedule, because we can’t imagine having anyone else watch our kitties now!




Melina is reliable, consistent and a fantastic sitter to our 4 cats when we are away. On this visit, she was persistent with our automated cat feeder that had a jam while we were away. She always puts our minds at ease knowing that she’s checking on our cats.

Melina is simply awesome. She is so kind and attentive with our cat, Hermann. They have really gotten to know one another and Hermann has taken a real shine to Melina. We always feel comfortable going away knowing our precious boy is in good hands and he is always happy and content when we get home. Highly recommend Melina!


Melina is absolutely the best! She takes great photos and sends informative updates. One of our cats was not feeling well while we were away so we gave Melina some suggestions and Sophie really bonded with her and was feeling much better after a few days. Lucy bonded with her immediately and loved all the attention. I highly recommend Melina!
