Your pet's new favorite auntie :)

Pet care experience

I've grown up with animals since I was 8 years old and have lots of experience with animals of all sizes, from pet rats to 120-lb German Shepherds! There are those who love animals, and those who REALLY REALLY love animals, and I definitely fall in the latter camp. I have experience volunteering at rescue farms and fostering for animal shelters; I've started a GoFundMe to save a dog from Korea's dog meat trade (who was then flown to the US to unite with his forever family); and I was able to find a loving home for another dog who was at high risk of being euthanized at a shelter. I have an infinite amount of love for our furry friends and find so much fulfillment in being able to care for them. I understand the sacred nature of the unique bond we all share with our pets and will do everything in my power to give you peace of mind when you leave them in my care. It's a level of trust and privilege I regard highly and hold very dear.

Mellania is great with my pups! I had her come out a few times now and I can tell she is very kind and gentle. I appreciate that she is very patient with my two shy dogs, which was my main concern. We will be using Mellania as our regular dog sitter. Thank you Mellania for being so kind to my two pups and patiently working with them to warm up to you. We appreciate you!

I cannot recommend Mel highly enough. Her communication skills are exceptional, always keeping me informed and updated about my pet's well-being. It's clear that she has a genuine love for animals, which is reflected in the way she cares for them. My pet always comes back happy and well-cared for after spending time with her. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet with utmost care, Mel is the perfect choice!

Mellania is more than well equipped to care for a pet. Not only is she a high quality animal lover, she’s empathetic, nurturing and selfless to a degree. Historically, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing Mellania foster a few animals and be the best dog mom to her furry son Jax. She is prompt (never late) and has solid time management skills. Your pets will be in fantastic hands.

By no exaggeration, Mellania is the first person I would trust with my pets. Even a human baby if I had one! She is someone of the deepest empathy and compassion who really cares for and respects all life. I’ve known her a very long time and I’ve seen her protect and love her pets with the biggest heart. She’s mature and responsible and one of the greatest people I know. If your pet was in her hands, it would undoubtedly be safe and happy.
