Pet care experience

Passionate love and care for pets!

Hi! My name is Melina, and I love getting to know pets of all kinds. I’d love to be able to take any of your pets on a walk or just spend time with them! I didn’t grow up with a pet, but now that I’ve adopted one of my own, I see how enriching it is to meet any pets that I can. I promise to treat your pets with delicacy, love, and care! There will never be a shortage of fun for them as long as I am around. Spending time with animals has become my favorite pastime in the course of five years. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to go above and beyond for our pets. I am also aware of how much trust it takes to put your loved ones in a stranger’s care. I want to establish long-term relationships with clients so they can always have someone around who can take good care of their pets for them. I feel such a deep connection to each animal I meet, which is part of why I love this so much and why it comes so naturally to me. Overall, I just love to spoil pets-not with food, but with love and affection. Being separated from their owners at times can be stressful; I want to aid in calming them down and making them feel comfortable with my presence. I have experience with both cats and dogs, so your pets will be spending time with someone who knows how to go above and beyond their needs.

Houdini loves Melina! I appreciate so much that I know I don’t have to worry about him while I’m out of town.

Melina takes such wonderful care of my boy Argus. He loves and trusts her and I do too. And she takes the sweetest pictures!

I’d like to know their comfort levels with affection, any of their quirks, and the best ways to approach them.
