Pet care experience
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
Melina took very good care of my cat Polly. She left detailed cards every day, cleaned the food and water bowls, swept up the litter area, and it seemed that my cat liked her! She replies to messages quickly and is a lovely person.
My cat loved snuggling and playing with Melina, and it was such a great comfort knowing that she was well taken care of while I was away. Her report cards were very detailed, and Melina took lovely pictures of my cat to update me.
Melina was great with my cats, including administration of oral medication. She replied to all of my messages promptly, was able to visit my boys on an holiday, and shared great photos and updates during her visits.
Melina was a huge help, very reliable and responsive! She made us feel very at ease while away knowing she was looking after our fur baby.

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!
