I will love your pets as my own!

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 dog is 65 lbs and comes with a lot of up keep :) I have a kitten as well and am learning what it takes to entertain a high energy cat! 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 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!

Mellette went above and beyond and treats our cats as if they were her own. She alerted when something wasn't right and she was absolutely on point! Thank you, Mellette!

We are so "thankful" for Melette's care and love for Audi and Ace. We loved that she sent us pictures from each stop! We will definitely call her when we are travelling again!
