Safety, trust & environment

I have fur babies to keep your pet comfortable and entertained. I have a fenced in yard for exercise and love to go for walks. I have a variety of toys and treats to meet your pet’s needs!

Information Mellette D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. The more info you can give me about your pet, the happier they’ll be while you’re away!

A typical day

I love to be outside whether it’s in the yard, a walk, playing fetch, or going to the park. I am skilled at leash interactions and my neighborhood has many good sidewalks/a trail for this purpose.

Pet care experience

I know what it takes to care for your pets so they won’t even miss you while you’re gone! I am skilled at brisk or slow “sniff,” walks depending on the needs of your pet. I’m comfortable brushing, cuddling, playing fetch, and feeding/watering your pet. Just let me know of any special requests and I can accommodate your pets needs! I’m looking forward to spending time with your animal. I love to be outside, provide snuggles, work on commands, and give treats. Your pet will have a great time in your absence and feel loved and appreciated. I don’t mind picking up dog poop as my biggest dog is 55 lbs and comes with a lot of up keep :) I have two cats as well and am comfortable with all felines! I am willing to accommodate needs beyond the 15 mile range for an additional fee of 58 cents per mile! Please contact me if you have questions about services, booking, or pricing!

Mellette did an amazing job of taking care of my fur babies!!! I highly recommend her. I know she will be the first person I reach out to when I need pet sitting!

Mellette has been with our kitties for 2.5 years. She treats them like her own and knows them really well. I allow her young daughter to come over and give them play time as well! I appreciate her more than she knows as we often go on long vacations. Highly recommend.

Mellette was so patient and great with our cats while we were out of town. She encouraged them to spend time with her without overwhelming their space. She let them get used to her at their own pace. We loved getting daily report cards and photos from Mellette. We will definitely use her again!
