Melody can care for

Cats

Availability

I currently work a hybrid schedule. I am mostly remote with one day in the office. Even in a hybrid schedule, I still have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule for us to work a good schedule out for both you and your pet! I can petsit full time while working and take your pets on breaks when they need!

Pet care experience

Since I was a child, I've been on a mission to pamper pets! Whether it's taking them for a stroll, serving up their favorite meals, or giving them a spa day, I've got it covered. With five fabulous felines ruling the roost and a delightful dachshund who shared my life for many years, I've seen it all when it comes to different temperaments and needs.

Melody did a terrific job taking care of 2 cats. Her communication was amazing and she was always on time. It was clear that they both were comfortable with her and looked forward to her coming. I hope she is available to come again!

Melody is wonderful! She has cared for my cats multiple times and we can always count on her to give them the special attention they need when they’re missing us. We really appreciate her!

Melody always takes such great care of my pup when I'm away. She sends lots of updates and pics so i know all's going well. I was out of the country for a week and it was such a relief to know my girl was being treated so well!
