Pet care experience

28 Years of Pet Love & Care

I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—everything from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, and birds. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. For over 28 years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, groom, and love their pets like they were my own. I understand the unique personalities and needs of different animals, and I’m passionate about giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. Whether it’s administering medicine, helping with senior care, or just spending time playing and cuddling, I treat every pet like family.

Melina is so kind, attentive, and communicative. It can be so nerve wrecking leaving your babies, and Melina put me at ease.

Melina thank you so much!! Melina did visits for my two dogs and she was absolutely wonderful and caring! For it being our first time having her as a sitter was the best decision! Again, thank you for being thoughtful and wonderful with our dogs!

I had a short notice booking for same day pet sitting. She took great care of my old girl and kept me updated. My girl was supper happy on the pictures and got plenty of play time with other dogs because she was exhausted when she got home 10/10 recommend and will book again in the future.

Schedule

I’m currently a student, and since I don’t work, my schedule is very flexible. I absolutely love animals and would be thrilled to spend my extra time caring for and loving other people’s pets as if they were my own.
