🐶🐰 Your pets will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Animals are brilliant creatures and can recognize different people as well as develop different relationships with them. For the best possible experience, I would like to socialize with your pet and learn about them for one or two visits before I care for them on my own. For dog walks, please provide litter bags as well as the leash your dog is most comfortable with. If they have any favourite treats or toys, bring those too! For small animal/reptile boarding, please bring their enclosure and food as well as bedding if it is a long stay. For home visits I would feel most comfortable visiting you and your pet in your own home so that I can get familiarized with the area as well as your pet. ⚠️ Please note that I am not comfortable handling your pet if they are overly aggressive. Shy/timid animals are perfectly fine. For safety concerns, please make sure your pet is free from fleas and is up to date on their vaccines/medication. 🐰🐶 SERVICES OFFERED: - Home Visits - Dog Walks - Pet Boarding [SMALL ANIMALS/REPTILES ONLY]
Information Melisa M. would like to know about your pet
Please schedule a meet and greet with your pet ahead of time so we can get to know eachother and make our time much safer and more comfortable. Tell me as much as you can about your pet, even details that might not seem important! How long do they like their walks? Where do they like to nap? What is their favorite toy? Anything about your furry friend will help me understand their needs better. As I have pets of my own, please don't book with me if your pet carries any transmissible diseases or has ticks or fleas. Sorry for the inconvenience.
A typical day
If I'm caring for a pup, I'll make sure to give them lots of headpats and snuggles while I make sure they feel safe and comfortable at home with me. I'll take them on a short walk around the neighborhood or their favorite park to play and run around and clean up after anything they may leave behind. Treats will be supplied plentifully!? For kitties, they are free to take naps knowing a friend who cares is watching over them. They'll get lots of affection and playtime and will never be left lonely!

Pet care experience
🐾 Hi, my name is Mel. I'm a 20 year old university student studying life sciences with the goal of working with wildlife and conservation. My friends would describe me as a patient, open minded individual with a love for learning. 🐾 I have grown up with animals my whole life and have a good amount of experience handling pets of different kinds. Both my parents have a master's degree in agriculture and have inspired my deep love for science and the natural world.

Reviews
We hired Mel for house-sitting and walk for my dog for 3 visits. She was late for the initial meet & greet as well as late for the 2 consecutive appointments. It was decided that she would walk my dog for 35-40 mins but she went only for short walk. Cancelled the last appointment because of “rain” despite being offered Uber to & from my home. Also, offered her to just visit the home so that my dog could be taken care of and not go out for walk since it was raining but even declined that. Very unreliable. Would not engage her service again and would not recommend her.
Thanks a ton, Melissa for taking care of our family member when we were away. We felt very comfortable and relaxed leaving juju in your hands. You definitely are an amazing find and we are very much content in your professionalism. I'm happy that you have established a very strong bond with her now and that takes a lot of stress of our shoulders for future short visits. We highly recommend your companionship for every other fur babies.
As always a loving and caring job by Melissa. Will always hire as she really cares for the cats
Mel was very good at communicating and keeping me up to date with what’s happening with the pets. When something unavoidable came up and she couldn’t make it, she let me know, and refunded me immediately. I appreciated very much that she was able to make time for my pets during the Thanksgiving weekend.
