Pet care experience

Current cat mom and ex-dog mom

I have loved and taken care of animals since age 10 - when I welcomed my first bunny for my 10th birthday. Since then I have also taken care of hamsters, birds, dogs, and cats. I am an expert in providing an environment where they can be comfortable and profusely loved, but I do not forget firm discipline where necessary.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At my client's home I have the best practices of pet- and property-handling honed down, which will keep both the client's pet(s) and property (as well as myself) safe and happy at all times. I trust that I will be provided with all the information I need to satisfy any expectations from my hosts during my visits. At my own home, I have two cats, but I have enough space and accommodations to keep my client's pet(s) separated and happy as necessary.

I find Melody to be a friendly, intelligent, responsible person. I know her love of dogs, my dog adores her. We've been lucky to have Melody babysit our dog and cat when we've been away. Aurdrey Scott

Mel is is amazing with animals. Before she moved in with me she was was the primary carer for both the family cat and dog. She made sure they were fed, took medicine when applicable, and always made sure to walk Linette, their cocker spaniel. She moved in with me and my cat, Luci, immediately accepted her as family. We then adopted a kitten, Lily, who bonded with her. My mom and stepfather also have a cat and dog and the dog is absolutely obsessed with her; whenever we visit he is stuck to her like glue. Whenever my mom and stepfather go out on a trip, whether it's just a weekend or for something longer, they always ask us to come check in on their cat and dog. Us generally means Mel since I work full time. You would be hard pressed to find someone who loves animals more.
