A dogs world i’m just living in it!

I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years now and I absolutely am in love with it! I fall in love with any and all babies even if they don’t wag their tail for me. I can guarantee your pets will be treated like royalty and i’ll keep their tails wagging!

House Sitting • Aug 03, 2026

This was my first time booking Melina and also my first time having someone stay overnight in my home. I usually only book drop ins, but Bibi’s regular sitter wasn’t available and I needed last minute overnight care. Melina was superrr sweet with my anxious baby. She followed all of my instructions, sent me tons of updates, and even did thoughtful little extras like washing Bibi’s bowls. I came home to a happy pup and a house that was cleaner than I left it! She was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans changed and was able to stop by for an extra drop in to walk and check on Bibi. I couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight sitter and will definitely book Melina again!

Melina was amazing and we will definitely use her again! I asked about a last minute booking and she got back to me asap and was very accommodating! She also sent multiple updates and it eased my mind so much! Highly recommend if you need an overnight sitter!!

Melina has the biggest heart for all animals regardless of size and breed! Melina is always finding was to connect with animals in her day to day. No dog can walk by Melina with out her given them at least a few pets and scratches! Melina is also extremely tentative and punctual when it comes to schedules and responsibilities! I have no doubt she will be the best pet caregiver you have ever seen.

It is very important that your pet is comfortable around me and I would do anything in my power to have the best bonds. I would love to know ahead of time if your pet has specific things that they dislike or just certain things that your baby is used to you doing that I should do also!
