Availability
As a veterinary assistant I have a schedule that changes by week, but I typically have weekends and one or two weekdays off. In order to prioritize time with your fur baby I only set my availability to my days off, or walks after I get out of work.

About Melina N.
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort are priorities for me. For pets it can be scary when their owners are away so I always take the necessary steps to ease their minds. I will treat your pets exactly how I would want mine to be treated.
Information Melina N. would like to know about your pet
I love getting to know each pet before I care for them! I'd like to learn about their daily routine, favorite toys, personality, feeding schedule, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. If your pet has any medications, allergies, or special needs, I'm happy to accommodate them. I'm comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and administering medication, so I can make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor each day to their needs and personality. Whether it's going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, practicing basic commands, or simply relaxing together with plenty of cuddles, my goal is to keep them active, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routine they're used to at home.

Pet care experience
My life has always been centered around animals. Growing up I had dogs, cats, and even started riding horses at 8 years old. As I got older I realized there’s nothing better than giving back to the animals that do so much for us. I now work at a trusted animal hospital as a veterinary assistant and I’m in school to become a veterinary technician. I have experience with many different animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities.
Reviews
I cannot recommend Melina enough. Leaving an older dog is always stressful. Leaving a 10-year-old golden retriever with complex health issues usually feels impossible. Melina completely changed that for me. From our very first meeting, she treated Gracie with immense tenderness and respect. She meticulously managed Gracie’s strict medication schedule, monitored her energy levels, and ensured she stayed comfortable and happy. Melina did not just watch Gracie; she truly cared for her. She sent frequent updates and photos that allowed me to travel with total peace of mind.I am incredibly grateful for her patience, competence, and genuine love for animals. Melina is a rare find, and Gracie and I are so lucky to have her.
I have left my cats and dogs in Melina’s care numerous times! I had one dog with special needs and was very kind and compassionate, and so loving towards each one of my animals to use every time I go away! She has a special relationship with each one of my animals! Melina excellent and keeping track of all of my dogs medications and being sure they weren’t given on time. And I loved getting the pictures when she was for my fur babies.!
